''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' has some trivia connected to it, most concerning Author - Audience relationship.
----
* ActorAllusion: Pretty much running gag. Enough to some fans suspect that Jack Frost was cast due to Chris Pine recently being cast in ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'', but Word of Ashe is that the casting for jack came long before they knew about Pine. But:
** Erik's new girlfriend was played by his old one's actress.
** Tony Stark mistaking Jake Jensen to almost everybody his actor ever played.
** Whole arcs like the Copies one.
** And '''many''' more.
* ApprovalOfGod: Ashe is a highly fandom friendly author. [[AmbiguousGender (S)he]] [[AudienceParticipation holds polls / reads the comments / etc.]] on her Website/DeviantArt [[LineToGod account]] etc.. Making [[RecursiveFanfiction fanwork for her fancomic]] is encouraged too.
* AscendedFanon: ...and if (s)he likes something it becomes canon. Like most of these:
* {{Fanon}}: Everything Creator/WilliamShakespeare has ever written. Any reference to his work results instant MassOhCrap from the readers.
* MeaningfulReleaseDate: Ever so often.
** The first or last pages of Halloween arcs tend to fall on [[ShapedLikeItself Halloween]].
** Or the this troperiffic 2012 Halloween arc:
*** First page (#280 Invitation) out on October 1th (almost on full moon)
*** the Hunt began / prey summoned (#284 Quarry) on October 29 (Closest Full Moon to Halloween which is the more obscure date for the pagan celebration of Samhain)
*** the Winner was announced (#293 Winner) on December 22 (more or less Winter Solstice)
*** the end of the actual action (#294 ''Gift'' - [[IncrediblyLamePun We got a Christmas Gift]]!) was out on Christmas Eve
*** last page (#295 Unplanned) was published on New Years Eve
** The 2013 Big Summer arc is scheduled to begin on June 21 (the Summer Solstice)
** The Erlkönig arc ended on the Winter Solstice too.
** And Der Erlkönig special was released on Father's Day. [[spoiler:He is the father of a main cast member]]
* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: There are suggestion journals and opinion polls. From who wants to see DayInTheLimelight episode to the naming of Jareth's sister.
* ScheduleSlip: An extremely rare occurrence. More prone to the [[InvertedTrope inversion]] so getting published on a more rapid rate. The ''Zombie Halloween arc'' of 2011 holds the record with ''2 pages/day''! Still suffered a smaller SeriesHiatus in the summer of 2013 because of the author's health problems.
* SimilarlyNamedWorks: There are a number of webcomics entitled "Roomies"; one that evolved into ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'' and another about an anthropomorphic horse.
* TeasingCreator: Ashe has distinctive shades of this mostly in the form of [[CrypticConversation deliberately vague answers]].
** Also you know someone is this if after introducing a "new" character of fangirl squee worthy adorableness said fangirls also go:
--> "Hmmm... [[YankTheDogsChain What does that mean, when most of us expect something horrible to happen to him?]]" ([[spoiler:[[IKnewIt They were right]]]])
* WordOfDante: Anything said about the verse that's not WordOfGod, WordOfSaintPaul or AscendedFanon including the other more accepted {{Spin Off}}s and the more speculative parts of this very [[Webcomic/{{Roommates}} wiki article]] (Ashe reads Website/TVTropes and the RecursiveFanfiction of his/her work [[RecursiveReality though]]).
* WordOfGod: A whole lot. [[TheRant The Artist comments]], the journals, the responses to fan questions etc..
* WordOfSaintPaul: ''Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor'' and anything else [[WordOfGod Word Of Pika]].
** To elaborate: This goes both ways so ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' and [[WordOfGod Word Of Ashe]] is WordOfSaintPaul for GND. The two authors actively try to build on the other's work, and incorporate as much as they can from the other's canon.
