I'm delighted that you enjoyed this! (And hello; it's good to meet you!) Trying to pick out patterns was an interesting exercise.

It's also interesting to hear that you don't fall into patterns in the same way in your own writing! I definitely have favourite themes I tend to return to in writing over and over again (e.g. isolation, hallucinations, memory issues, characters falling in love with four or five other people simultaneously), so it's probably no surprise that there are patterns in how I get characters together as well. Do you have themes that recur in your genfic, or are you generally a writer who tends not to revisit the same ideas?

If you do try some of these concepts out, I hope you have a great time!
