To schmoop or not to schmoop: A question for the assembled

[erynn999.livejournal.com]

As a writer, I know that any story is not going to be to everyone's tastes. Different people like different stuff. Some are angst-puppies. Some love romance. Some are totally titillated by smut. Some want comedy or action or tragedy. I'm curious about what folks here think about levels of "soppiness" (Bertie's word for schmoop) in Jooster stories.

I know that one person's sour lemon ball is another person's diabetic coma. This isn't about any particular fic, or any particular author or reader, I'm just curious how people approach it when they're writing and what they think about it when they're reading. How do you know what's enough, or too much, or that Goldilocks moment of "just right"?

What is it about any given scene or fic that pings your schmoop-meter for good or ill? Is there a point where it gets out of character for you? How do you see canon Bertie and canon Jeeves in terms of this, given that Jeeves quotes romantic poets and has been known to read the romance novels of Rosie M. Banks, and that Bertie is continually attempting to reunite lovebirds while avoiding the noose himself?

What makes something schmoopy enough, too schmoopy, or not enough schmoop for you?
