I don't really care myself if an author writes the same pairing all the time. i'll admit that i'm an offender of this for a certain otp. if it's what someone loves to write and really enjoys writing about, then all the power to them. i think the stifling creativity part may depend on the person and how they are approaching the pairing given that characterization is just a fluid concept and the writer could just shake things up in different scenarios (unless they are just phoning it in bc it's expected of them or something??). but i agree that it is a good thing to write fics about people/pairings you don't normally think about in order to change things up and get some practice in.
