Yeah, suddenly being generic can definitely backfire.

SO much can go wrong with long running series, including the author having a massive change in taste or having certain life experiences.

In a case of me putting the cart waaaaay before the horse I actually account for this in the original fic series I've got planned out. They all have certain constraints and I plan out certain things way in advance to not have those massive tone shifts. I am pissed at a few series for the massive, massive tonal shifts or retconning or... all sorts of things.
