* ComicBookTime: Officially, Oseman's stories take place in the present at the time that she is writing them. This results in a drifting timeline in cases where she releases prequels (such as ''Heartstopper'' for ''Solitaire''), and especially with the WebcomicTime of ''Heartstopper''. Oseman acknowledges and goes along with this disconnect.
