Yeah, this. I've come across one book where I knew almost instantly that the authors were fanficcers. The story became frustrating to slog through, because I kept feeling like I was reading stuff from a fandom I was not familiar with, but I COULDN'T get familiar with it because it didn't exist. Hence why I said the story 'read like a fanfic' and I did not mean it as a compliment. A lot of other reviewers noticed the same things that I did, even though they weren't fanficcers themselves. (So OP, don't worry--your critique group will pick up on things being 'not right' even if they don't recognize the origin of the habits.)

It's like if someone who writes hardcore psychological horror were to decide to write a period slice-of-life story. Can they? Absolutely. But it's going to come across strangely to the period drama crowd if they write it like a horror story.
