I see that as a strength, not a weakness. It's your voice, your approach.
I just don't enjoy it as much.
Hmm. Yes. Inspiration is better. And pure muse flow without inspiration (or intellectual input) can simply produce self-indulgent crap, which, I may add, I've never seen from you (tho' I haven't read all your work), and which I have seen from many a fanfic writer, more's the pity. But. Better to do it than not, if that's the only option offered. If you can't write on your chosen terms, write on any terms you can.
if I write stuff that makes me shudder, or makes my beta cringe to read... sigh.
Be glad you gave the intelligence and discrimination to know the difference. When I write that sort of thing it goes into my trash-bin pretty quickly, and I hope no one ever guesses at how bad my writing can be.
