Tropes used in Robkelk/sandbox/Works pages/Station Eleven include:
- Apocalypse How: The story begins in Year Zero with a pandemic that kills off over 99 per cent of humanity. Civilization takes a major hit because there aren't enough people to maintain an industrialized society, but luxuries like museums and touring acting troupes still exist.
- Fictional Document: The titular "Station Eleven", written before Year Zero, provides a distraction at a key moment.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Downplayed. The novel was written a half-decade before the COVID-19 pandemic, which thankfully did not kill 99% of the population of Earth.
- Paparazzi: A crowd of them wait outside the theatre during Year Zero, on the off-chance something interesting happens. The lead actor's heart attack qualifies as interesting; none of them knew about the pandemic.
