I don't know about anyone else, but somehow there's one thing that always seems to pop up in my fics. For me it's a gay (or at least bi) guy, sometimes even more than one. I also like large, plain buildings for some reason, and placing the story during the fall months. For themes, it's usually just "get the guy."
Now I ask: is there anything that appears in all or most of your stories, be it a type of person, item, time/season, location, theme, or something else?
Also, do you think you do it conciously or unconciously? Has anybody ever noticed that you do it?

I tend to base my stories on women/ teens that are placed in another time. In a way I guess I do it conciously. Usually I write my stories off of ideas that pop into my head and then they start to grow and bug me till I finally write them down.
No ones every read all of my stories except for my good friend and he doesn't say anything if he notices.

The only people I write about are teens... Dunno, maybe it's that 'oh gosh, therapy!'-feel playing up... And the gay guy comes in here too. whee I have a weak spot for femme boys too... (In real life long hair is a must, hehe)
I think I do is consiously... I just have no idea how a grown-up *cough* would think, or how to write a proper het-romance... sweatdrop
For themes I always have the 'Will he like me or not? Will he hate me or not?!'-theme... I think. 0.o; (geeh, I just realised how original I've been for the past year. sweatdrop whee )

Grandparents seem to pop up in my stories an awful lot. In three out of the last five stories I wrote, and they always had something important to do with the plot. I really don't know why, that's just how it seems to work out.

Hmm, let's see.
In terms of characters, I tend to have "buddy" pairings... my main characters will often have a close friend/confidant who is more lighthearted and prone to getting into trouble.
Lately I seem to use desert as a common setting, and my fantasy stories tend to feature a mysterious drug/potion.
For themes, manipulation seems to crop up a lot. And I like twists involving villains who start out pretty evil-seeming but who begin to seem more justified as the story progresses.

hm... maybe, i had to think about that one. kind of odd if you think about it too. well, i write about really different stuff, but when it comes to some kind of romance, it's usually when their connection is deep but there's always a problem with being together. i don't know also. i think i do it unconsciously.

thats not what i write like, no offense to everyone else! everytime i come up with a story, it always has a different storyline to every other story i have written, but if you come up with something the same in every story you write, it means that its your type of story and thats what makes them unique 3nodding wink

About the only thing my stories have in common is that the main characters are ''evil'' to some extent, or considered so by the society in the story. Apart from that, I have a few stories so far that play on the theme of justification, namely, trying to understand the ''evil'' characters, even when they are not in the foreground.

My stories (aside from fanfictions) all seem to have one thing in common- they're all centered around magic and fantasy. Also, my stories are always about children and teenagers, seeing as I'm only thirteen and I don't know how an adult's mind works. (On second thought, maybe I don't want to...) Also, my main characters are normally girls. I'm in the planning stage of another story where the main character will be a guy, but it'll probably be suckish. >>;

I go through stages. Every so often I'll have a period lasting a couple of months which always centers around the same theme. Right now it's death or disappearance of a loved one, parallel worlds, and the main character's journey into and through that parallel world in order to ither win back the lost one, or get over the loss.
I have to decide which variation of that theme I like best and should write.

SakuraKawaii thats not what i write like, no offense to everyone else! everytime i come up with a story, it always has a different storyline to every other story i have written, but if you come up with something the same in every story you write, it means that its your type of story and thats what makes them unique 3nodding wink that's so true. i think it is a good thing and it signifies you, but man some poeple make their stuff too the same. it's like reading the same thing over and i really don't like it. I mean if you had just a small tinge of similarities or plot then i guess that would be ok, but if it was the same nerd guy falls in love with hot girl (jsut example) then you have another story like it where their personalities are so alike, that's just(i think) not right.

Romance novels. Bad ones.
They pop up in almost every story I write. Sometimes they're mentioned very briefly, and sometimes they're important. They are always, always, always bad. In my NaNoWriMo last year I included excerpts of sex scenes in the novel a character was reading. It did wonders for my word count.
As for themes, I have a few that show up more often than others. Religious repression pops up pretty frequently.
I also like the idea of people who are forced into being villains. I'm working on two of stories right now.
I like morally ambiguous main characters. I love unreliable narrators.

The gender-confused character is definitely the most recurrent people popping up in my stories XD.
In one, he was the guy-who-got-turned-into-a-girl-and-fell-in-love-with-a-guy-but-then-turned-back-into-a-guy-and-doesn't-know-what-to-do. In another, it was a girl who had no breasts and had a sort of a masculinity to his/her face. In a third, it was a hermaphrodite.
Also, I tend to like really complicated relationships. It just... sticks. Blegh.
