Heeeeee I love that part of your answer was that you are recognizable because of dragons.

The character's style being recognizable makes a lot of sense. I think I've never really quite felt that I was that much inside of someone's voice. I've felt that I was in someone's head--and that sometimes it's hard to get out of that person's head and be in someone else's--but doing character voices always feels like something outside of myself. Perhaps because I'm rather inconveniently introspective.

I think it is possible to write different plots and yet still have recognizable ways of plotting. Having the same plots is rather tired, I agree, but having a particular style of plotting seems not better or worse than having a particular style of writing--which, again, I think is just as great as being able to change it up. It seems to me a preference for anti-climax is a style thing--unless the climax is always, you know, anti-ed in the same way.

I do hope you answer these questions, but don't feel pressured. I just really like discussing this stuff!
