!!Tropes in Ana Mardoll's work:
* FracturedFairyTale: The ''Rewoven Tales'' stories retell fairy tales, deconstructing certain societal values and adding AdaptationalDiversity.
* GenderBender: ''Transcending Flesh'' discusses fantastical ways for transgender characters to physically transition, such as "trips to the Gender Witch for magic potions."
* NoManOfWomanBorn: "Tangled Nets" from ''No Man of Woman Born'' has a dragon extorting {{human sacrifice}}s from a village declare that no man or woman can slay him (after killing a would-be dragonslayer). The protagonist is genderqueer.
* ThematicSeries: The ''Rewoven Tales'' stories are united by their common theme of fairy tales, rather than a shared narrative.
