* AerithAndBob: partially caused by the author's practice of naming characters after commenters' nicknames. Aeriths include Zaap Nator, Floydien, Khao, Zaid, Zytharros, Arcshod, Lasairfion. Examples of Bobs are Sam, Stu, Dalton, Jasper Clark, and Simon. Then there are traditional (canon-like) pony names such as Gold Petals, Whitemane and Nightshade.
* AllJustADream: a number of chapters in ''Innavedr''. [[spoiler: Nightshade captures Bellesmith and plugs her into a sequencing machine to trick information out of here. As the chapters are through Belle's point of view; the reader doesn't learn it until several chapters later.]] As those chapters were released, some observant readers guessed it already at the first or second dream chapter, due to [[spoiler: Kera behaving "out of character"]].

The author, Imploding Colon, is an alias of {{Creator/shortskirtsandexplosions}}, author of well-known fanfics ''FanFic/BackgroundPony'' and ''FanFic/TheEndOfPonies'', a fact that was not known initially and came as a surprise to many readers. The author has spoken almost nothing about ''Austraeoh'' and its sequels, only briefly acknowledging writing them in some recent blog posts. Although the author never replies to reader comments, he seems to enjoy reading them, as hidden references to last chapter's comments occasionally appear in the next chapter. Starting from about the mid-point of ''Austraeoh'' (the first story in the series), most characters and places have been named after frequent commenters on Website/FimfictionDotNet.
