Writing Styles With Deepseek R1

Normally LLMs don't really strongly adhere to requested styles, either because of a lack of data or too many 'safety' nets. This is the first one I've seen STRONGLY adhere to different styles. And of course, some authors/artists work better than others. On my testing, I used a temp:1, P:1 and this jailbreak:
Deepseek R1 Preset - Default setting is generic novelist style. Only one style should be chosen (aside from 3rd person, past tense narrative style.)

With temp at 1, its creative and off the rails, but hard to wrangle, and I feel I have this preset dialed in pretty decently to make it coherent. It still struggles with spatial reasoning, and maybe there's a trick to fix it and force it in some thinking steps. The preset is still very much a rough draft, being only about a day old. What I'm posting here is mostly a writing style test.

I started with a very basic intro, using the Dude from the Big Lebowski, since it's a fairly well known character. I wanted to keep that aspect of it consistent, and paint a very bland initial scene that doesn't really have a lot of options for crazy shit happening so we could primarily focus on style differences. I told it in most instances to focus on narrative, and not dialogue, but sometimes it did both. Also, Chris is just the name I used as myself, the user, who is sitting in the bar I set for the initial intro.

I tested author styles, director styles, and even some TV show styles:
