The thing is, your voice can change - sometimes it takes lots of time, but other times it seems overnight. I am not now the person I was when I started writing, as I will not be this person I am now forever. At the core, maybe, but there should be refinement over the years.
I do tend to obsess on the concept of originality, though. I get nervous that my character is just Jack or Daniel or Dean or Sam or Luke or Leia or "insert character here." I don't like it when peopel grab characters and just file the names off.
I don't think you have to worry about this, unlike stories I can predict the plot just based on the author. I know Author X will build things up wonderfully and then end the story without proper balance/resolution. 60 pages of plotting and build up. Two page wrap-up. Author X fools me into thinking she might do something different every time. ;)
