overwriters
Those who supplant
Overwriters are writers who produce prose that's excessively elaborate, wordy, or stylistically heavy-handed.
The term implies too much—too many adjectives, too much description, too much straining for effect: The editor cut three pages of purple prose from the overwriter's manuscript.
In computing, overwriters are programs or processes that replace existing data by writing new data over it.
