Shipwrecked's most notable works revolve around their fictional version of author Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, which present Poe (portrayed by Sean Persaud) as a macabre and social awkward recluse sharing his house with ValleyGirl ghost bride Lenore (Sinead Persaud) and pining after the {{Pollyanna}} Annabel Lee (Wiles). The characters were first introduced in the series A Tell Tale Vlog (also known as Social Awkward Poe), which was later spun off into WebVideo/EdgarAllanPoesMurderMysteryDinnerParty, which later recieved its own companion in A Cryptmas Carol. In between they released the meta romance series Kissing in the Rain, and later works include the noir parody The Case of the Gilded Lily, the silent film homage American Whoopee, horror short Little [=VVomen=], and a three-part {{Crossover}} FeudEpisode with Creator/TinCanBrothers that starts with Shipwrecked's short A Book By Its Cover.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Frequently shows up, thanks to Sean and Mary Kate's very obvious chemistry:
** James and Lily in ''Kissing in the Rain.''
** Edgar and Annabel in the Poe series.
** Ford and Vivian in ''The Case of the Gilded Lily''. (The film is in black-and-white but all promotional material shows Vivian as a redhead)
** Presumably Teddy and Millie in "American Whoopee"

** "A Cryptmas Carol", released for Christmas 2018, is told in a similar manner to ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas", showing Poe, Lenore, and Annabel Lee at Christmastime. Poe, in typical Poe fashion, is too involved in tragedy to engage in Christmas cheer [[spoiler: and instead seals Santa Claus in a basement crypt as revenge for a petty slight, a la ''Literature/TheCaskOfAmontillado'', before freeing him after Annabel Lee mentions wanting to see Santa]].

* ChristmasSpecial: Shipwrecked tends to take a parodic but heartfelt spin on the trope.
** "Emily Dickinson's Guide to Spending the Holidays Alone", which came out for Christmas 2014, shows Emily Dickinson in a similar vlog style to ''Tell-Tale Vlog'' advising her audience on how to avoid human contact during the holidays because, "If you suffer from seasonal crippling agoraphobia like me, the holidays are the worst time man or God has ever created."

** "How to be a Ghost", released for Christmas 2023, is a {{Prequel}} to ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'' where Jacob Marley is taught a lesson by the Christmas Ghosts... in song!

* GenderFlip: Played with in "How to Be a Ghost" with the [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future]]. Past and Future canonically have AmbiguousGender (though Past has been portrayed as feminine in many adaptations) while Present is almost always masculine. Here, they are all portrayed by female actors with feminine presentation.



** "How to Be a Ghost" stars Jacob Marley and explicitly feminine versions of the Ghosts of Past, Present, and Future from ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''.
