Is there anything that you think makes your writing distinctive? That is, are there themes you return to over and over, are there phrases you use frequently? Could someone spot that this was your story if it was anonymous?

I'm bad at analyzing my writing, so I'm not really sure if there are things I do over and over again. I do write a fair number of really messed up relationships, but I also write a lot of G rated gen. I suspect that there are phrases that I use repeatedly (the only one I've spotted is "a subjective eternity"). Most writers have those.

So far as I know, nobody's ever spotted a story posted anonymously as mine. I don't think I write enough for people to know my style, and I tend to flit from fandom to fandom a lot, so there's no opportunity for people to see a body of work.

I don't know if anyone can spot my stories anonymously. But I tend to return to themes of melancholy and journeys (usually with cars).

I'm not sure if there's anything distinctive about my writing that would make recognisable when posted anonymously, even with the dyslexic traits that slip in from time to time. I have used "like a melody in the mist" in a few of my fics but I don't use that anymore.

Added a few words to my crossover.

As to the question, I have no idea. Though given that I don't write all that much but vary fandoms a lot (and even alternate between my native langugae and English), I guess it's hard to analyse my writing style?
