Hmm... how pretentious and wordy are we talking? It's common enough for writers when they start out to overdo the description. It kind of gets in the way of the reading experience. You know you might actually be doing your favourite fanfic writers more harm than good by not pointing it out? In my time in fandom, I probably fell into this category of fanfic writer. (I haven't been active in any fandom for a couple of years. I only started reading this journal again recently.) I didn't get a lot of reviews in the end. (The ones I did get were pretty demented. I had to block a few people.) I wondered if the friends who said they liked my fic in the beginning were just saying that to humour me. (After the first two or three chapters, they stopped commenting.) Other fics that I wrote, many of which I thought of as awful crap, got much more positive reviews. (It's crossed my mind that maybe my writing style actually deteriorated over time. Either that or my perception of what actually constitutes bad/good writing has become skewed. I gave up in the end.) When I look back on it, I think my friends did me a disservice by not saying anything, and that's a pretty crappy feeling.

That said, I think I can understand your inclinations a little bit. Watching TV shows that probably jumped the sharked way back is something a lot of people do, myself included. (Or, they might have been so bad they were good from the start.) I enjoy the schlock. If there's hot guys and some humour, that's even better. (I do enjoy a bit of slapstick, intentional or otherwise.)

If you ever tire of your little hobby, maybe you could leave them an anonymous comment, telling them what they could do to improve?
