Re: Stuff you're worried about with your own creative works?

That I re-use the same phrases too often. Sometimes I re-read my own stuff and I start noticing that I used the same or similar wording in different fics and even if they were written months or years apart I still worry that someone's reading my fics and thinking "Oh come on, you're using that wording again?" I try to actively avoid stuff I know I use a lot but sometimes I don't even think about it until I've already posted the fic.

I don't know if all readers feel the same way I do, but it doesn't bother me when I notice that authors re-use the same phrases across multiple fics. If I notice it at all, I just consider it to be an easter egg or just part of your style. Sometimes I even find it endearing, if it's a particularly odd turn of phrase.

I notice that sort of thing sometimes, but it only bothers me when it's a common phrasing that a lot of people use (example: dueling tongues or a taste uniquely them while kissing). Every author has their quirks, and while you can train yourself out of them, I personally think it gives a story character.
