Do you like your recurring themes?

I like reading stalker stories lol so I guess so, but at the same time I think it’s becoming a bit of a “crutch” for me.
Like a “safe” zone.

Oh, I can totally relate.
Maybe add a twist to it?
I’d like to think they’re all different, but quite literally all of my stories across three platforms have some sort of stalker element 
So I need to write at least one that doesn’t include it at all

How about a revenge-horror story? One where a stalker’s victim comes back to haunt them?

Damn. What about a full-on horror story?
Or a fantasy?
Both of my stories are about teaching, though one became a teacher by choice and the other one really didn’t want to but reluctantly accepted. One works with pre-teens and the other with elementary kids.

I just need to somehow come up with a plot with no stalker element whatsoever . Yet I somehow always end up having at least a “You’re being watched” note or something lol.
I even have a YA romance with a mystery subplot with a stalker element and an action/romance story with a stalkerish subplot (for Episode’s MC contest which was stalkerish by default lol).
I’m actively working on two stories now and they both have stalker elements . The only ideas I come up with that don’t contain this are basically eroticas

Annnnd I’m officially going to be writing my first non-stalker story
The plot seems so empty to me lol. I feel like it needs more creep even though it’s actually an erotic romance

Also, my themes haven’t changed much, death and moral debate between good and bad are still things that are in my story… Just a question, do you guys think it’s an issue if there are recurring themes or is it only beneficial? If it would be a problem how can you get rid of that urge to include specific themes 
In think it depends? In my case, I think it’s a bit of an issue because the whole stalker theme has become a “crutch”. It’s almost turned into a safe zone.
