MST3k references

Another fun thing to do is MST very bad fics from
FanFiction.net (though they don't actually do that
on the show).

Okay, my original reply was swallowed by Yahoo, so
I'm trying it again. Hopefully, the original won't
be regurgitated later, making me look stupid.

Wanda and Aegeus have done a bang-up job describing
the indescribable glory of MST3k, so I only have two
things to add: terminology and fanfic!

MST3k - the show
MSTies - the fans
MiSTing - a work (fanfic, movie, whatever) that has
been given the MST treatment

It's so amsuing to me that MST fanfic should take
the form of MiSTing rather than actual stories. And
when they're done well, they're SO awesome. Sadly,
there is a dire lack of Harry Potter MiSTings. Yes,
I know there are some, but they always use the HP
characters, and that just ain't right. Darn kids,
don't know their roots!

But anyway, if you're interested in reading some
MiSTings, I highly recommend Web Site #9:'

Go to the MiSTings Archive and sort by rating, then
pick one that looks good (also, note that HTML and
HTML+ are the easiest forms to read). They've got
all manner of fandoms...except, of course, for Harry
Potter. -_- The reason I suggest sorting by rating
is that then you get the best ones on top. Bad
MiSTings are utterly pointless.


Cheers! And keep circulating the tapes!
