** The J.M. Barrie prologue features Christopher Higgins in a VagueAge role, where Sean Persaud's character thinks he's actually 14 (the real Barrie was 44 by the time ''Peter Pan'' came out and Higgins is a contemporary of the rest of the adult cast). Six years later, Christopher Higgins would play another VagueAge character in ''WebVideo/HeadlessASleepyHollowStory'', whom everyone ''but'' Ichabod mistakes for being 14.

* GeniusBonus: The entire series practically revolves around this. For example, Jane Austen's final two novels, {{Literature/Emma}} and Literature/NorthangerAbbey (the latter of which is directly referenced as being about to be published), were published posthumously. [[spoiler:Also, if you're at all familiar with the Brontë sisters' publishing history, you'd probably be able to figure out the twist far before its reveal]].

* EpilepticTrees: Since it's a murder mystery, this was somewhat inevitable... The series itself seemed to anticipate this reaction since the characters all indulge in doing their fair share before the culprit is eventually revealed. One of the more prevalent theories, for example, was that Eddie would turn out to be [[Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo Edmond Dantes]] and/or that Creator/AlexandreDumas would therefore be somehow implicated in the murders.
