You can always MST the crapfics submitted on here. Recently there was a bad fanfic craze that resulted in two abominations. One is by Giovanna and Yasha, which I highly recommend. The other is by yours truly. But I guess deliberate badness takes away from the fun.

I have found a few gems, however. This one has everything. Horrendous spelling, an obnoxious incredibly emo original character, an Ipod and ridiculous descriptions. Oh, and Utena refers to her breasts as "booboos" and falls in love with the OC. Here are some samples...

- Perhaps she already drowned, and only sinks her corpse beneath water for the rush. Amy probably wouldn’t be drowning if she wasn’t ill with Leukemia. Ballet made her life an underwater universe, filled with glass castles and dreams. But after being told she was too ill to become a true professional dancer, she drowned. Her body was so weak, her doctor enforced a rule that she was not allowed to do any of the strenuous movements, so she pursued a career as a business owning pig’s maid. Amy managed to stay afloat for a while, you have to move on, she thought. But one thing her doctor didn’t know...was this auditorium’s use every single day. She didn’t mind dying as long as she had that.

- The woman (Utena) stared at Amy, with a rather amused and surprised face” I completely agree...that’s why I have these booboos...”. Amy didn’t even attempt to understand the woman as she lifted her arm over her shoulders and began walking home...

Holy. Crap.

I just re-read Miki's Embarrassment. I knew that it was bad. I just didn't realize how bad it truly was until nearly five years later.

Is it bad that I'm contemplating suicide? I mean, god.

Here here. I remember a fanfic I wrote where my lead character melted the villain's heart with a soulful rendition of "My Heart Will Go On". If everybody who wrote a bad fanfic committed suicide, the Anime industry would be out of business.

I have a soft spot for stuff that's of the "so bad it's good" variety, but there are some things that I just can't make it through, like The Worst Fanfic Ever Written.

Would anyone who's done real work write such bad fics?

Non sequitur ftw.

Dallbun, I never read fanfics, but I really didn't feel like doing my work, so I read your MST.  It's hilarious. Good job!

And now I'm downloading some real MST3K.  Who doesn't love this show?

I know the guy who wrote it-- Richard Gallivan, right? He played Akio in a very bizarre online Utena roleplay group that I ran for a couple years back in high school. Man, good memories. That guy was hilarious.

Anyway... fics to MST, huh?

I'm not sure how "terrible" they are. I mostly get compliments from them, but at the same time they're... well... I'll call them "badly-good."

Glad people are enjoying it! Sorry for the Sailor Stars stuff framing the Utena. Hopefully it's not too distracting.

Funny stuff.  I especially appreciate your nods to the original format, complete with guest spots.  It helps that your parody also features a riffer named Crow (as in Sailor Lead Crow, natch).  Is it bad that I imagine Galaxia as Pearl Forrester?  I haven't seen much of SailorStars, maybe half of that arc at most, so I don't have much to go on in terms of her original characterization. Then again, this is Sailor Moon we're talking about, so I can't imagine that she's much different from your average Queen Beryl.

Thanks! Yeah, I originally didn't intend, for instance, to have a variation on the MST3k opening theme, or even to name the series in that fashion (because both of those things are overdone in fanfiction MSTings)... but then I realized I had a "Crow," and couldn't resist. And yeah, nods to the show are fun. In my fourth MSTing I did an invention exchange.

Galaxia is, as you say, just another Beryl, albeit one with somewhat better presence and intimidation value. (The real Big Bads in the Sailor Moon anime tend to be character-light... their subgenerals are much better.) Since my fanfiction Galaxia is supposed to be a Pearl kind of character, the thought is perfectly appropriate!

Anybody else done any MST stuff around here? The old Shinji's Vault / Everything What is Crap site just died, so I'm kind of curious about the state of the community.

I was MSTing my own Purple Rose Saga for a while WAY back when, but FFN took it down when they enacted their rule against MSTs. :roll:

And I have had my work MSTed before... if anyone ever pays a visit to the Satellite of Revolution, you might find a little gem called "The Great Outdoors."

I'm rereading SoR, and that's the fic I'm reading next.  Congratulations/I'm so sorry.

This makes me glad that all the anime fanfic I wrote in high school was written longhand, and I never put any of it online.
