Has anyone created a cross reference file of the people with multiple pen names? Some I know because they talk about them in their blogs like Aroslav & Rottweiler. Others I suspect because when reading ABC's story, I think, "That sure reads like XYZ's style." So many time I will read and like something and wonder if they have written anything else under another name.

Sometimes the author creates different pen names because the stories are very different.
Definitely this. My stories under this name are published multiple places. My other pen names are exclusive to SOL and will pretty much forever remain that way
I have noticed that some writers, who use the same Editor(s), or Proofreaders, tend to write similar stories in a similar matter. Their newer stories, influenced by beneficial editing, and other improvements to their writing, in some ways become similar.
Most often this is an improvement to their writing.
It isn't always the case. However, I noticed certain similarities by some different writers, then I noticed they shared Editors, or others who help with their stories before being posted.
