Except for really bad fan fiction -- the kind you find unbetaed on FF. Net a.k.a. "The Pit of Voles" -- I have never encountered this phenomenon. In the unlikely event I do, I have two shelves reserved for books that annoy the snot out of me: "Wall Bangers" and "Author Deserves A Special Smack (Preferably With The Oxford English Dictionary)". This type of pretentious rubbish would soon find itself occupying both.
