True. Because when reading old fic I haven't looked at for years, it's like reading something by someone else, because you don't have the distinct memories of how it was created. (unlike art, where you *always* remember the triggers and process for each individual piece)
Might also be because art - writing, drawing, whatever - is a subjective form, and it's *all* about opinion.
Whereas clothing - well, it either fits or it doesn't, and if you're re-creating something seen on-screen, the details are correct or they're not. Sometimes you're most of the way there, but you always know it's not quite correct. And so does everyone who knows the subject. There's no grey area.
