All of the comments that were posted last night have been added to the document.

This is fun.

This is... beautiful.

Damn my google docs noobishness.

"Pemberton888" is me. Please don't include the "888" if you add any of my comments.

OH GOD YES! I WAS THINKING OF DOING THE EXACT SAME THING.

Someone...please...help. This has evolved into an absolute BEHEMOTH, and it's really hard for one person to do. Can anyone else help me format these comments?

>>65692
Just give editing privs to eznpony at gmail dot com.

It's only fitting, given how many comments I've made.

>>65694

You've been added. Even if you just fixed your comments, that would be a BIG help.

I'm going to bed, and will get the rest done in the morning.

Added all the comments. Stopping now.

Yep, we finally finished it!

Sorry to all the people who wanted to have "Revival of a Dead Land" be next week's fic, but it was decided that that fic wasn't bad enough. So, next week's fic will be the cloppy grimdark (although it fails horribly at both of those) fic "THE MISSING PONY CAPER" by Deathsia.

http://ponyfictionarchive.net/viewstory.php?sid=162

The next doc will be posted Saturday at around 2PM EST, in a new thread.

The "upcoming fic" mentioned above will be changed to something much "tamer" if EqD posts this, which is actually looking quite likely(in a Nightly Roundup).

>>65974
Clop and gore are against Ponychan rules, anyways.

Just finished the first MST. Nice job, very funny.

So, what's the format going to be?

Is it going to be one session every Saturday, ending at midnight, and then you go in afterward and edit in the comments?

>>66094

Close. The "session" will last the weekend, until Monday at midnight EST, then me and the other editors will add in the comments.

As clop and gore is apparently against Ponychan's rules, even though I've linked some really horrible fics(Sweet Apple Massacre) before and didn't get banned, I'm up for suggestions. Anyone have a REALLY horrible fic they would like to see riffed on?

>>66103
Alright, got it. I'll be there.

>>65945
Rats. How was it not bad enough? I suppose Snarkle made it seem worse than it really was.

On a different note: I'll be here this week, ready to riff the hell outta it. Oh, and ponies appear to enjoy this project of yours! Feel proud, you magnificent bastard!

>>66119
That, and Snarkle pretty much said all that needed to be said. We'd just be parroting him if we did the story.

>>66119

Yeah, it wasn't bad enough. Mediocre story + pretty good grammar = non-MSTable.

And, I'm trying to get this on EqD, but they pulled the "did you get Blaze's approval" card, which I may have worked around, but then they pulled a "but the other TCB authors would feel insulted" card. I sadly have to agree on the first "approval" point, but the second point? Bullshit. I'm not saying you should spam them, but if one or two more people sent this in, it would be nice.

Also, can someone get me a confirmation on that "clop/gore isn't allowed" thing? If the EqD thing falls through, I am still intent on doing that "MISSING PONY CAPER" next week.

(It's actually not that bad at all...not counting the fourth chapter, where all the clop/Cupcakes-level gore happens.)

>>66162

By "not that bad" I meant clop/grimdark-wise, not story-wise. The story is quite awful.

*facepalm* Sage fail.

Ezn, I believe your comments contributed most to the humor.

I will totally E-mail Seth about my approval for this project, being an on-off contributor to the TCB thread myself.

Hope I can refine my intelligent humor by this weekend. I am a tad rusty.

Sorry to bump this again, but...has anyone found a fic they would want to see MSTd, yet? If this gets posted on EqD, we would need to have a much "tamer" fic instead of "MISSING PONY CAPER", and I would like to announce next week's fic days in advance.

I'm looking for something worse than this: http://dunthyon.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4cyf8o

but not as bad as this: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7509366/1/the_flame

Fillies and gentlecolts, I have some rather interesting news.

You may remember that there were some talks about MST3King Pen Stroke's uber-popular fic, Past Sins, but it was dismissed because of the highly-refined state that the story now exists in.

I have been in deliberations with said author, and he has given me the original version of the story, Tyrant Celestia and all. Not only that, but he has also expressed his interest in our humble endeavor and is currently (and do forgive the improper analogy) clenching his buttcheeks in preperation for what we may do. Still, he also sees this as an opportunity to learn from the /fic/ community and, despite his reservations, may very well take part in our impromptu deconstruction himself.

And so I ask, will you answer this call to... er... forelegs?

>>66364

>>66364

Clenched Butt-cheeks is a very accurate description Luc.

Still, despite my anxiety, I know this is something you guys will probably have far to much fun with and it will help my writing in the future. (What doesn't kill me makes me stronger, right.)

So, yes, if there is interest, you can all have at it.

>>66364

OH GOD YES WE'RE DOING THIS.

>>66370
Could you supply an E-mail, Ring? I'll send it to you.

>>66371

ringmasterj5@gmail.com

Also, with Pen Stroke's semi-approval, this is go going on EqD.

>>66370 Whoo!!!

I'll get to work on a theme song, and picture for EqD! :D (Of course, there will be no lyrics, If I am allowed to partake in making a theme.)

>>66375

Of course you can make a theme!

>>66375

That was me more asking for permission. AND- If you say yes, I'll need everypony partaking in this to send me a picture of their Ponysona/Persona for this. Gelidenmity@gmail.com.

My apologies, If I'm getting too excited.

>>66381
GAH! Stop with the extra fast responses! It screws me up...

Anyone can contribute to the riffs when the doc goes up, right? Cause I love me some MST3K.

Should we try to "recruit" people by getting EqD to post something about this in a Nightly Roundup before Saturday, or would that make it too crowded?

>>66393

Yep!

>>66394

Oh, LORD, no. We don't want too many riffers. I think our MAX should be...10-15 riffers. Recruiting on EqD would make it a real hassle.

>>66399

Point taken, but I'm pretty sure just the idea if this is going to draw in a lot more than just 10-15 people, even if it's only posted on here.

>>66400

Still, funny and sudden quips are better than the entire riffed fic being flooded with good/bad jokes. We should leave it to those who know when and when not to make a remark. Regulars who just want to be a part of something would probably ruin it, so keep it at 10-15, even if people still want in. If people leave, then you can start accepting new people. Would that work?

>>66364
ALL MY YES

>>66404

I had a feeling you'd want in on this Vimbert. I can only imagine how much fun you'll have.

>>66403
Do we have to sign up somewhere?

>>66403

Well, it depends. There were fourteen riffers in the TCB MST, but only about five of them riffed it through from beginning to end. Some people just popped in, added a few comments, and left. So, we should think about setting up some kind of system.

>>66413
I'm in for anything you come up with.

>>66407

We'll see, there might be.

Also: I HAVE CONFIRMATION, PEOPLE. THIS IS GETTING ON EQUESTRIA DAILY WHEN IT'S DONE.

>>66413
I disagree.}

The openness of the activity is what makes so strong; because anyone and everyone that visit /fic/ can comment then this isn't just another product by some weird cabal of self-righteous individuals but rather a silly and open effort by a group of people who like to read fiction and enjoy making fun of it in a good spirited manner.

Thus, keep it open for anyone to comment and simply add them as they come.

Thus is my opinion, take it as you will.

>>66420

Well, we would only have to implement a system if it gets out of hand, like 10-20 people commenting on the same page at the same time.

>>66416

I could make a sign-up sheet! C'mon man, think about it! People who want to stay on here for as long as this goes on can sign up, then we can allow others to just drop on in!

>>66427

Oh, if other people could just pop in and add their comments, that would be fine.

How about this?

The people that entirely riffed the last doc(Ezn, Vimbert, Nuke, Pemberton, etc...) get full editing privileges, and can start MSTing it early, starting Friday night, along with the people that sign up, although those people can only comment, and not edit the fic directly. Sunday night, the fic will be open for ANYONE to comment, but only after we fully save the "pre-Sunday" document, just in case everything gets out of hand. Then we finally close the doc on Tuesday night.

>>66429 Sounds good! Make sure to add me to the privileges, and I'll meet you all Friday night! Oh, could you send the fic to me? I want to see if I can come up with some witty jokes instead of winging it like last time.

>>66429
Sounds good to me.

>>66432

No, as that wouldn't be fair to everyone else. But, you, and anyone else that wants to, can try to practice with the edited version, here: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/07/story-past-sins.html

Also, EqD wants to make this a Nightly Roundup addition once it's finished, meaning that theme you mentioned probably can't be used. :(

Finally, Pemberton and Vimbert, please e-mail me(ringmasterj5@gmail.com) so I can give you full editing privileges on the new doc when it's made. Anon13, e-mail me with the actual username you were commenting with(so I know it's you, and not some random person).

>>66406
I'm going to enjoy myself quite a bit, I think, though honestly, I think I might find it harder to be a bastard when riffing, just because my brain is still kind of Past Sins'ed out from all the editing I did, and you're not just some faceless author to me. If I haven't worked with an author before, it's a lot easier for me to be caustic.
>>66416
Wooooot!
>>66429
My email is in my trip for editing privileges, if that's how you'll be running it.

>>66445

Related to the above "bastard" comment, here's a ground rule everyone should follow:

NO personal attacks.

This MST is probably going to attract a lot of people who REALLY hate Past Sins, but in no way will attacks/threats aimed at Pen Stroke be tolerated. That doesn't mean any comments about him will be deleted, just don't get unnecessarily mean.

>>66451

I appreciate that comment greatly. If it means anything to anyone, I didn't intend Past Sins to be as popular as it became. I was only hoping at original publishing for about as much success as Better Living.

And, even though I doubt I could have done much about it at the time, I apologize for all the people who spammed /fic/ back when Past Sins was original published.

Didn't intend to make waves, just wanted to write a story.

>>66451
Very true, we don't want to offend Pen Stroke, most people here would probably wouldn't have such a vocal opinion against past sins if we hadn't gotten the Sins Wave...

Ringmaster, I'm up for editing. If you need my email it's linked to my name.

I'm up for editing. I already said that, right?

Anyway, the theme would have taken me weeks to do, anyway. I literally JUST got FLStudio 9XXL today, as well as Photoshop Cs3, and Sony Vegas. I have a lot of tutorials to watch/read. So, I'll see you friday, Dear Sir. I look forward to seeing our names on EqD.

Wait!!!!!!!
Isn't past sins like 300k words long? Would that require an insane amount of time to properly riff?
No offense, but I don't think you guys are that fast reading.

>>66489

That was one of my concerns when Luc asked me for permission. The original published chapters only go to 13, so already half of the fic is excluded. Still, for the sake of time and sanity, it might be advisable to pick a few chapters.

Still, I'm just offering input.

>>66493

Yeah, I pout it through a word counter, and the original edit was about 83,000 words, total. Almost triple the size of the TCB fic, but there's going to be a lot more people commenting, probably.

>>66493
TCB had 11 chapters, although I don't know the word count per chapter. What's the average word count per chapter?

>>66493
RM, we'll be doing this fic over the course of weeks. Yepper.

"Believe in magic!...Or I'll kill you!"

>>66511

So, there's two choices: We could either splice the fic into two or three weekends' worth of MSTable content, or just keep it open the entire time until it's done. Which should we choose?

Hello all, I don't normally post in fic, but when I saw the first MST, I just laughed out loud during the entire thing. I would like to sign up for the next MST if I can. I like Past Sins a lot, but the original unedited version...

The e-mail address here would be the one I plan to use. Thank you and again, brilliant idea on the MST group.

I was going to suggest Past Sins for our next riff, actually, but then I thought "nah, too long". Working with the unedited version is perfect! Really, the only disadvantage will be not being able make a tally of all the times "crybaby" was said.

So yeah, count me in for riffin' and editin', just like last time. This is gonna be fun.

>>66513
I say chop it up. This can keep us going for a while, so why not take advantage of that?

Although then again, will PS be as comment-dense as TCB was? It's hard to say right off the bat. But even if we split it in three, each chunk would still be slightly longer then TCB.

>>66518

If we do chop it up, at what point should we send it to EqD? In parts, or only when it's completely finished?

I'd say if it is going to be in a nightly roundup, send in chunks, otherwise, wait until its finished.

>>66522
>>66524
I agree, we should send it in parts. It'll be easier on the riffers and the readers.

>>66364
*GASP*

This is going to be so much fun. I just hope we don't end up perma-crashing the document with so many comments.

I was thinking. Once a part is closed for comment, the editors could vote on what lines to keep. That way it's still and organic process, with input from the community, without leaving in subpar material.

Obviously, I'll be joining in on the schenanigans. RING, could you give me editing privlidges?

My idea for how this is going to work: We'll have a tiered system for commenters. A bunch of regulars will go through the story and leave comments, while some higher-level folk will be the judges for which get left in and which are left on the chopping block. This way we keep the comment-overload down and maintain an equal mix of quality and quantity.

Also, there should be two versions posted on EqD: One with the in-house /fic/ team, and another blank one so that EqD readers can have some fun as well. Who knows, a couple gems might pop up.

If we push Seth and make this into a full series, I think he'd supply us with our own post. One of his main arguments against the TCB one was that the other TCB writers might take offence but, if you look at their thread, they found it hilarious. If Midnight (who's a pre-reader there and a major contributor to the TCB sub-fandom) tells him that it'll fly I'm sure Seth will reconsider.

Schweet. Hopefully I don't spit out sub-par jokes. That would make me sad.

>mfw this will be the THIRD time I read Past Sins.

I didn't even like it that much, but I do remember making a few mental riffs when I went through it, so I think I should be able to come up with some decent material.

Sign me up! I need a chance to flex my snark muscles. I've never actually read the original past sins, just the edited one.

>>66555

Hey! That's my suggestion! :P

>Also, there should be two versions posted on EqD: One with the in-house /fic/ team, and another blank one so that EqD readers can have some fun as well. Who knows, a couple gems might pop up.

By EqD readers, do you mean the pre-readers? I don't really see the advantage. If they were really interested in riffing, they could join in the original session.

hehe, I wouldn't mind a go, if there's room. Simplest way is to give me edit or just plain old comment privileges if you decided to let me in on the fun.

Forgot to put my email down. Kinda new to Ponychan. REMEDIED.

>>66591
Have you already listed it? I didn't see it >_>

I mean the viewing public.

>>66600
Wouldn't be simpler to announce an upcoming MSTing in the Nightly Roundup?

>>66601
We could get our own post and have a link to this thread in the doc, so that way people who are really interested in it could lurk here.

>>66600
I just don't see a reason to have two documents. If this is supposed to be a community effort, something that splits the community (even in a small way) doesn't seem like a good idea to me. I hope I'm not getting you down. This is just my opinion.

>>66604
Well, the point of it was to give the regulars a structured place to work, and then have one where people who only want to drop a line or two somwehere to riff. We don't want the edited version to be filled up with a bunch of bad jabs from people who think they're the new insult artist on the block, after all. The ones in the ad-hoc doc, if they're good enough, could then be added to the edited version.

>>66605
OOOHHHHH!!! I understand now. I thought you were advocating two completely separate documents. Ya, this is a pretty good idea.

>>66606
I try ^_^

Cannot wait to use some great jokes. Lemme watch MST3K all day now...

OOH! I got a sudden Idea-Attack!

We take our next fic, an ReAD IT! (Aloud)

We get someone to read the fic, Someone to riff it(I can do a great Tom Servo and Crow impression), and someonr to edit the sounds. Sound good to anyone?

>>66630
editing le sounds.
You will need a good program. Enter audacity (stage right.) It's a free sound editing program, and it's pretty simple to use. Link to download:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows
or if you have a mac through no fault of your own,
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac

I'll try to hop into next weeks fic!
bob.nolan43 = Isphone
Have fun!

>>66635

I was just seeing if anyone liked the idea.
If they did, then we could do it.

For the record, the document that the regulars/signups will riff on won't even be made until tomorrow.

>>66555

When you say "in-house /fic/ team," to you mean anyone from /fic/, or just the regulars/signups? That does sound like a good idea, though.

Midnight has been e-mailed.

>>66630

Interestingly enough, >>65981 over in the TCB thread wants to audio-read the TCB MST. You can make a reading of this MST if you want to, it just seems like a LOT of work.

Alright, It will be a lot of work. Hell, if I can perfect my impressions and expression, finish that theme, then maybe this will become a HUGE HIT. I'm glad to be onboard with you, by the way. So, meet you on-doc tomorrow then.

It just so happens that it will technically be Friday, my time, in two hours and forty minutes.

>>66675

In case no one got the above: The doc will be ready for the regulars/signups to comment on it IN TWO HOURS. This is the last chance to sign up.

>>66682
Sign me up. This looks like fun.

Email: bob.nolan43@gmail.com

I can't wait!

>>66682
Drats. I'll have to comment tomorrow, as in, when I get home from work. I guess that gives me a little more time to come up with stuff, but I HATE being tardy. *Psychlight Sparkle*

On a totally unrelated note, it's nice to see that you're enforcing the sign-up idea.

Oh, RING? Am I considered a regular, or a 'high-tier'? I'm kinda lost.

>>66682

I would like to be involved, if at all possible. hellioning123@gmail.com

Sorry for the wait, but I had a few problems. They're all fixed now, and all I have to do is track down everyone's E-mails. Also: Should the first part go from Prologue-Chapter 3 or Prologue-Chapter 4?

>>66708
Up to chapter 3 makes this just longer than TCB (going off the revised version, at least), so that's what I'd suggest.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XbtBN2QrxcwFzUiv416jfjoVqLf-JHmnZDWKeelKWG8/edit?hl=en_US

Full list of people who can currently edit: Midnight, Pen Stroke, me, Lightsideluc, Anon13, GelidEnmity, Eznpony, Nuke.equestria, Alcoremortis, Vimbert, and Pemberton.

List of people who can currently comment: Hellioning, Intangiblepony, Isphone, and DiStort.

The doc will be open(for comments) to everybody in 23 hours and 40 minutes.

>>66713
I wanna do it too! Unfortunately I'm tied up until this weekend. If that's too late, then so be it.

>>66716

It's going to continue until midnight EST on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

We should totally do a skype conference call while doing these.

37 minutes until the public doc is posted.

The public doc will also be posted in tonight's EqD Nightly Roundup.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T7YNprRrjWAs0awQHJFtBkhgF21E26ov4U2U1IAOV2U/edit?hl=en_US

Going through the document one last time before it gets posted, I'm really, really tempted to remove some of the "riffs". A bunch of the most recent ones (not naming names here) are just pointing out little flaws without actually, you know, trying to be funny. They're reading like edits as opposed to jabs. I won't touch them unless there's a consensus on tightening it up ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU4WtOeQyn4 ), but I thought it was worth bringing up.
So that I'm not called a hypocrite, I've been removing some of my own bad ones, FYI.
People, if it doesn't make YOU laugh when you write it, it's probably not funny enough. Use that as a ruler for what works.

>>66933

"One last time"? This won't be posted until Wednesday. What was posted on EqD tonight was a different doc for public commenting.

>>66937
I thought they were both going up. My bad.

I wish you had shown us what you were going to send to EqD for the post before, RING. I think we'll have to do a little revamp for the next one, if you catch my drift. Also, remind Seth that it's not an attack, it's a, ahem, celebration of Past Sins.

Damn, I won't be able to put in half of the comments I had hoped to. I'm leaving on an out of town excursion in about 2 hours.

Shame, I have a feeling that I could've corrected the unfunnines of my current comments.

>>66937
I do NOT give rides! Get off! Offf!
Silly OP. Pony rides are for authors.

I can't be the only one that sees these un-deleted comments, can I?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-oUFU_f7HGevhBG2CauLM5nmTHXLPwBLQ9xl3bbUq64/edit?hl=en_US

>>67346
Why weren't they delete?

This is your LAST CHANCE to get your comments into this MST of the first three chapters(and prologue) of Past Sins.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-oUFU_f7HGevhBG2CauLM5nmTHXLPwBLQ9xl3bbUq64/edit?hl=en_US

*facepalm* Forgot the most important detail. The document will be closed at midnight EST.

>>67073

What a shame.

>>68117

Oh Denton, you always say it best.

When is this gonna be sent in to EqD!?

Real life got in the way of me getting this finished, but I'm finally back. Anybody still pay attention to this, and want to help me do the comment review?

I could do it... when?

>>69396

In about 7-8 hours, at midnight EST?

Anyone else from the original doc want to help us vote on the final comments?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-oUFU_f7HGevhBG2CauLM5nmTHXLPwBLQ9xl3bbUq64/edit?hl=en_US

I just completed moving the comments we decided to keep to the main document. We need to do a final shakedown and maybe reorder some comments in places, and it's DONE! Whoo!

Sweet. I'd've helped, but I've not had much internet access as of late.

Looking forward to the final!

>>70132
Sounds great! Which .doc has the final selection?

Well, the one I put everything in is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XbtBN2QrxcwFzUiv416jfjoVqLf-JHmnZDWKeelKWG8/edit?hl=en_US

Who wants to help with the final edit?

>>70246

Just re-opened the doc, as it was listed as "Private" earlier. Anyone can view it.

Just finished it, with help from Ringmaster and disco. I'd call it ready to submit!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uJ8FqW1zBIzsYZoe4M1ILS9H8wgk2zjEEGQqmgNsfIg/edit?hl=en_US

More riffing time.
(Sorry I didn't help with the editing. Finals and all that.)

Update on getting this its own EqD post: Seth doesn't really want to split this off, as he "doesn't really get the appeal of essentially just bashing on a fic". I asked him to get second opinions from Cereal and Phoe.

>>70575
I completely understand his objections.

I'd also add that I question the artistic significance of this -
especially from a "board that intends to uphold high standards of fanfiction," if I may say so.
(Although I've never agreed with that supposed "purpose" in the first place)

The artistic significance is that it's funny. We're not bashing the fic, we're just poking fun where we can. I personally loved Past Sins and think Nyx is adorable, but that doesn't mean I'm above cracking jokes.

>>70603
Like DiStort said, it's funny. Not for everyone, no, but for enough people for it to be worthwhile.

In a way, I see riffing as a service. People can read our version of The Conversion Bureau (an important (if not well-executed) fic in the community) and be entertained, instead of wanting to gouge their eyes out.

Pen Stroke sent us the original version of Past Sins and gave us permission to riff it, so long as we didn't insult him personally. It's all in fun.

Not everyone is going to approve of this, because not everyone finds this sort of thing funny. Honestly, we're doing these riffs for the people who do get it, and who will find it funny.

I remember there used to be an excellent blog called Your Webcomic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad, written by John Solomon. The blog got a lot of hate for viciously tearing apart webcomics, but I personally found the reviews hilarious. I guess vindictive criticism humour just isn't everyone's cup of tea.

>>70575
Far as getting an EqD page goes... well, if we get one, we get one and if we don't, we don't. There's an evil trollish part of me that's itching to see the bile that might get spewed all over us for ripping into Past Sins (although it might be a few months too late for that), and perhaps that's the kind of internet fight Seth's trying to avoid.

We've got an audience for this nonsense here on /fic/, so I won't be too put out if this doesn't get on EqD. It may even be better for our artistic freedom if we don't.

*facepalm*

I was actually quite fine with just a Nightly Roundup post, but only two sentences? Seriously?

>>70716
You have to give him a copy/paste, something he can post up himself. He can't be bothered to write a synopsis for every post that comes up, after all.

>>70719

I did. He didn't add it.

"Sorry for the long wait, but the first part of the Past Sins MST is ready for all of you to enjoy! And, to make up for the delay, we're starting the Part Two commentating NOW! You can find the links to Part One and the Part Two comment documents here:"

>>70720
Did you tell him that was supposed to be the copy/paste? That could pass as just a message to him.
I think I'll make a synopsis for the project for the next set...

>>70724
This was the full E-mail:

The doc is FINALLY ready to release, and so is the commentatable next part! C&P:

Sorry for the long wait, but the first part of the Past Sins MST is ready for all of you to enjoy! And, to make up for the delay, we're starting the Part Two commentating NOW! You can find the links to Part One and the Part Two comment documents here:

http://www.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/PastSinsMST

Holy Nyx, you guys! We have quite a thorough page on TVTropes.

Now that something I have been involved in has a TVTropes page I can die happy.

>>71557

Yeah, that was me. Since the MST didn't get its own post on EqD, I figured a page on TvTropes could give it more exposure. I'm still working on it, though.

As the original author of some of the FINEST riffs--including Horizontal Surface--I must say it is nice to see stuff I wrote on TVTropes, where I can help waste time for people all over the world. :D

(BTW, minor glitch: not Mr. Exposition Man, but the superhero Exposition Man!)

>>71573

Fixed! I'm still going through the docs to see what other tropes apply, just so it doesn't look like a long list of shout-outs and pop culture references.

>>71576
I made it on Tv Tropes, my life is complete. Also, I just like to say I introduced the "Stonewall forgetting things" gag. Does it matter, no. I just like feeling important.

>>71573
And now, I have my writer name.

Aw, I only got mentioned once. :(

>>72124
I didn't get mentioned at all! even worse!

I laughed like a hyena all the way through. Kudos for turning a mediocre fic into a comedy masterpiece.

Got mentioned for something dumb because the comment after it was better.
>pic

>>72141

Check the Trivia section. >.>

And the the page is nowhere near done, folks. I just haven't had a chance to dig deeper into the MST and see what less-obvious tropes it has.

Damn it, how did I miss the memo about new chapters for riffing?

Stupid life getting in the way *grumble grumble*

Ooh...MST3k! How do I join in on the fun?

>>72302

Damn it! Wrong image...

<--- THIS is the one I meant to post.

This could be used as a theme song! :D

Lyrics:

In the not-too distant future,
next sunday A.D
There were a few reviewers,
just your average group-a guys
They worked for the Pony Chan,
Just polishing stories to make their day,
They did their jobs well with a happy face,
But their bosses didn't like them,
So they shot 'em into space!

"We'll send them crappy fiiics,
the worst we can find!" lalala,
"They'll have to sit and read them all,
and we'll monitor their minds" lalala
Now keep in mind they can't control,
which fics they recieve,
because they used those privileges,
to make fun of them!

REVIEWER ROLL CALL:
Ring Master! ('Sup guys!)
Gelid Enmity! (What?)
Vimbert! (Hey guys!)
Isphooooone! (That's one 'o')

If you're wondering why they do these things,
and other dumbass facts,
Just repeat that "it's the internet,
I should really just relax!"
For Mystery Science Theater 4000!

>>72323
I like this.
I suppose, seeing as how I'm the guy who got PS's permission to riff Past Sins, that I'd be one of the mad scientists who sends the fics up ;p.

>>72233
Heh ;P.

>>72243
Would my Cinnamon Toast Crunch one fit into something? I believe there's a trope for a character being such a terrible cook that everything they make is utterly unedible.

>>72323
For some reason, I had it in my head that Celestia and Luna would be the "mads" in our case. Like, I dunno, they sent us to the moon for fanfiction experiments or something. XD

>>72369

Heheh, I'm not rewriting those lyrics. Though it would be kinda cool, it'd make more sense for the big-boss reviewers to send us the crap.

>>72429
Hey, not saying you have to change anything, just throwing out my 2 cents. The lyrics are cool either way.

>>72538

:D

Quick question about chapters 4-7: Are we going to go through and edit the good comments into the document itself, or leave it as is?

Bumping 'cause I just finished going through chapter 7. When's the next batch due?

I'd volunteer for comment moderation, but my Internet time is a little too sporadic.

We will start the next batch on the day after Christmas. We will slowly transition to the new chapters, like so:

26th: Chapter 4 closes, Chapter 8 opens.
27th: Chapter 5 closes, Chapter 9 opens.
28th: Chapter 6 closes, Chapter 10 opens.
29th: Chapter 7 closes, Chapter 11 opens.
30th: Chapter 12 opens.
31st: Chapter 13 opens.

Comment reviewing will be done after, or possibly during, the transition days.

There will be exactly a month of commenting time, ending on January 31st.

I would prefer it if we had something to "transition" to once the month is over, so submissions for the next fic start NOW. Some submission guidelines:

1. Whatever it is, it should be quite long. as in a wordcount of 20-50K.

2. If you do not have the author's permission, it will probably not go up on EqD.

3. While it may be interesting to comment on another really popular fic, said fic needs to be bad enough to warrant commenting. The worse it is, the better. You can even send in some random fic from FFNet, FiMFiction, here, dA, etc, it just has to be exceptionally bad and moderately long. Keep in mind that the more well-known a fic is, the likelier it is that it will be chosen, though.

4. No trollfics.

Also, can someone make Facebook/Twitter profile pictures for this group? I want a way of keeping the readers in the very likely scenario that the next fic we do doesn't get on EqD.

>>73481
I just happen to have a earlier version of A Raging Grace lying around. I typed it up in Microsoft word, meaning less of those classic Isphone errors, but it looks to be pre-review of any kind, so maybe it will have a hole or two to poke at. It also has a awful font and attack of the word bricks.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Al-KSW5o_EiY5EWbWOV_Dm8jpyvYgrOtjCCwhpJCWVc/edit

There are two other chapters too, but they were made after I saw a review, and are in a less ugly font and may be more solid. We'll see if you like the first chapter first.

Oh, and Alice Cooper has read my mind.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71hVIGjvuVY

>>73482
I can see that one working.

We could also probably take something that's been featured on FIMfic before. That's popular and could be terrible.

Or maybe a particularly horrendous second person shipping story.

>>73489
I've made a few example riffs in Isphone's story. My verdict: a little shorter than what we're used to (but there are additional chapters, right?) but prime material for riffing.

I'll keep an eye out for more stuff though.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

My original choice for a fic(Interdimensional) was deleted off of EqD, so I'll just have to put up my "obscure" choice. It's not even an FiM fic, though it directly rips off the pilot:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7634213/1/My_Little_Unicorn_Magic_is_Believing

Oh, and yeah, Isphone's fic could really work. I'll make a doc with links to everyone's entries tomorrow.

That reminds me, how many chapters in this version of Past Sins?

>>73496
Only 13. We'll be on the home stretch soon, gentlecolts!

MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYPONY!
(Hey, if no one else is gonna, right?)

BTW, I just did another go-through and put in a few more lines.

Also, I've put in a new running gag: apparently Pen is following some unwritten rule that, when in doubt, assume the reader is a goldfish (i.e., has a 5-second memory according to myth). Junt in case some of you were wondering. :)

When do we get Chapter 8? That's the tug of war one, right? My riffin' senses are tinglin' something fierce.

New main doc's lookin' pretty swanky, by the way.

>>73984
I thought it was 3 seconds... more importantly, could you put on your beret and debunk this myth for us quickly, 13?

I've tried to use a running gag or two to point out flaws in Pen's writing style in a fun and lighthearted manner. So if you're reading this, Mr Stroke, PLEASE STOP SAYING "OFFERED" and it would also be nice if you could CALL NAMED CHARACTERS BY THEIR NAMES AND NOT THEIR RACES*. *ahem*

*Disclaimer: I recognise that being irritated by Lavender Unicorn Syndrome is not an affliction everypony suffers, but I believe that avoiding it at where-ever possible by restructuring sentences to use pronouns and names can only strengthen one's writing.

(although this will sadly deal Sparkler's screentime a deadly blow)

Think it'd be too much to put in links to online thesauri, or talk about a collection to get him a physical one?

And the first Raging Grace chapter.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uJ8FqW1zBIzsYZoe4M1ILS9H8wgk2zjEEGQqmgNsfIg/edit?hl=en_US

The riffing has already begun.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U8KbJA6W5VwtFGgV2uE3s1DE8aMdDhp_yjX-_YyLdck/edit?hl=en_GB

Also you can riff Isphone's work too (my comments are lonely).

Okay, so when's everyone free? We'll do it then.

Something I think we could try starting with Chapter 10...

Those of you who've read the fic know that Pen seems to be just a little bit repetitive with the word "offered". I would guess that either Pen is deathly afraid of thesauri or the one he has had that entire section ripped out.

Therefore--as a service, you understand--I think whenever he uses the word, we could helpfully suggest an alternative that would 'fit' in that place. And considering the riffers are avid readers and even authors, I think we owe it to Pen to suggest some more ... esoteric verbs for those places.

What say you?

19 "offered"s in chapter 10 alone.

PSOE Chapter Ten has been posted, PSOE Chapter Four has closed, and Raging Grace Chapters Two/Three have been added.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uJ8FqW1zBIzsYZoe4M1ILS9H8wgk2zjEEGQqmgNsfIg/edit?hl=en_US

Also, I would like that profile picture ASAP, so anyone want to try making one?

>>74618
What profile picture?

Also, a quick thanks for the hard work you do behind the scenes. I'm glad all I have to do is add you instead of adding all those email addresses myself.

>>74634

The Facebook/Twitter one. (That's going to be my way of keeping the EqD readers after Past Sins.)

Hm... anyone have the talent to draw Nyx doing Dash's silly faces from Bird in the Hoof? :P

>>74653

Honestly, I don't think that the picture should have much to do with Past Sins, as I don't want us to just be known as "the Past Sins MST group".

>>74688
I will make a poor attempt with paint to put all the ponysonas in the MST3K theater scene. Please post a ponysona if you haven't already.

Also, what is the name of this group exactly?

>>74412
As much as it's nice to try to help Pen, our main goal here is being funny. So... make it funny!

Two more ponies, and It will be complete.

Riffers, go here: http://generalzoi.deviantart.com/art/Pony-Creator-Full-Version-254295904

Toss together a pony and come back. Ringmaster, I'd like to have you on the picture, seeing as you are the OP, and the guy who got grey hairs trying and succeeding to pull this thing into an organized state.

Here's one for me:

I'll just try and recreate it. Whatever. It will be a bit longer until I'm done.

>>74967
>we're all unicorns
This explains the copious racism against ponies of lower birth.

That should do it. I tried my best.
Si gusta?

Um...so...is this the CB general now?

>>74972
It's closer to Past Sins general at the moment. /=

In all seriousness, though, this is a thread about riffing bad fanfiction. The first one that got riffed was the original TCB, so the OP is a little misleading, but we'll straighten that out when this autosages.

>>72569 is TCB general.

I know it's a little late for this, but here's my Ponysona and his code.

Anyway, want me to smooth some of that image out for you, Isphone?
Don't get me wrong, but it looks a little jagged at the moment.

Bah, I missed it as well. Here's my Ponysona:

yeah, that would be good. Thx.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uJ8FqW1zBIzsYZoe4M1ILS9H8wgk2zjEEGQqmgNsfIg/edit?hl=en_US

Um... having looked over Chapter 13... is anyone else just a little concerned that the story doesn't actually end?

>>75147
The Original Version only goes up to chapter 13, and that's what we're riffing. PS and BG revised everything when they released chapters 14-16 (or so). So no, it doesn't end. Chapters 14-21 are not in this batch of chapters that we have been granted permission to riff.

I was honestly expecting there to be many more submissions by now. But, if this amount (4, not including Isphone's already-posted fic) stays relatively the same, I'm up for running all of them, as long as they're all deemed MST-able by us. (Obviously, the ones deemed "too good to be MSTd" don't get ran)

Of course, this post also serves as a reminder of the submission document, so I hope we start getting a few more now.

The submission document's closing has been locked down from "mid-January" to the 15th.

>>75069

Got that "smooth" version done yet?

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7592844/1/My_Little_One
My Little One.
I'd give you all a synopsis, and a full write-up on why this one needs to be riffed . . .
But it would not compare to simply reading the first chapter.

>>75574

The hell kind of ending was that? Yeah, this can be riffed, although it's a bit short.

Speaking of submissions, Ezn submitted a FimFiction fic and MSTd a bit of it himself:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zIMXcGKmq4rYWutExbwUOUpieS3gHPK9vX8sWgGfAdU/edit?hl=en_GB

Following in his footsteps, I riffed the short "intro" of my submission:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lHZa37Wgk43kFy63oKNk28TsKfexb7N3GhhsB5unKwE/edit?hl=en_US

>>75574
Ah, yes. I've read My Little One. I didn't really think it was that bad, aside from grammar issues. Doesn't mean I'd have a problem with taking the piss out of it, though.

>>75672

... isn't that a "My Little Dashie" knockoff?

TwiShy! Alicorn sickness! Voting! Exclamation points! All in tonight's update!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uJ8FqW1zBIzsYZoe4M1ILS9H8wgk2zjEEGQqmgNsfIg/edit?hl=en_US

>>75731
Yup. A lot of My Little Dashie knock-off's (or as I like to call them, filly-in-a-box stories) have been showing up lately. I take it upon myself to try and read most of them, since I really loved My Little Dashie, though most if not all of them fail to measure up.

My Little Unicorn is now a full MST.

The first part is up. It has five chapters.

Many EqD pre-readers were in the document, and some still are.

A few people from the MST site "Project AFTER Forums"(whose Fallout: Equestria co-MST was what inspired me to start F/F/T3K) are MSTing, too.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uJ8FqW1zBIzsYZoe4M1ILS9H8wgk2zjEEGQqmgNsfIg/edit?hl=en_US

>>75920
>Fallout: Equestria co-MST
Well, the first lot of chapters are certainly hokey enough, and I never did like the episode references. Not to mention it takes a lot of suspension of disbelief to get past "evil pony raider rapists" and "canon cast involved in warfare".

I like the story, but I loled a bit at the intro and prologue MSTs. Guess this is what it feels like to be a Past Sins fan.

http://www.projectafterforums.com/index.php?showtopic=2877

>>75994

I feel incredibly stupid for not linking that in my post. Thanks.

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you guys including me into the MST. To be honest, I thought you'd guys would be pissed off because I was making too many riffs.

Again, I just wanted to thank you guys for including me.

I have recently found two accounts listed as being able to edit the document that I did not give editing permission to, being "cloudyskieswrites" and "jonthehistoryfreak".

While I know who did at least one of these, here's a new rule: No one, not even me, can add people to the edit list out of nowhere. They have to prove their worth by commenting, like Disco, Isphone, and the others did.

I don't know how many of our new editors check this thread, but I'd like to ask them to please indent their multiline riffs properly. That is to say, by adjusting the triangle thingy on the ruler.

Here is the help page: http://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=183618

(nokoed because I like to rage about minor things)

Can someone please tell me who added "cloudyskieswrites" to the edit list?

>>76697

I've gone through everything, and fixed all the riffs I noticed that weren't formatted correctly. There's probably still more that I missed. I don't know the complete list of who does and does not have editing privileges, so I didn't add or subtract any riffs.

>>76700
I gave cloudy a link to a collection of mst fics, which are publically available, but didn't add to any edit lists.

Now with picture evidence of the author's plans for the story!

I'm sorry for every mean thing I've ever said about Past Sins.

Who the hell posted it in that thread? Now the author is going to see it! Whoever did that, delete it!

>>77461
Well, it wasn't me. It probably wasn't the greatest idea to post that link with instructions NOT to do something. Oh, internet!

Is there a way to block commenters? Because the worst Mykan can do is spam our dox with comments.

>>77452
oh good grief, it gets worse. The amount of head-in-backside coming off that thread is nauseating. he's still claiming that he isnt watching fim...

It may be my fault, 'cause I was suggesting sending it to the author. Somepony must not have heard the dozens of "bad idea"'s...

Both docs have been deleted, but backups have been made. The backups are available to edit by the usual people, and comment by anyone who's commented on the fic. I AM allowing people to let people give COMMENT privileges to friends in this special case.

This deletion is being performed to prevent the author from seeing the MST. In making sure the author DOES NOT see this before it's done, the backups will be private to all but the large list of users I have here, until the fic is completed, which is to be very soon. Once it's completed, the docs will open up for commenting. The old docs will be replaced by "Cupcakes", and "Sweet Apple Massacre", respectively, just to mess with Mykan if he clicks the "MST links" posted in the FiMchan thread.

Oh, and to the people that have access: The other two parts are going up in the next hour thanks to this inconvenience.

Hey guys. Sorry for going MIA. I was on vacation with my family since Sunday, but I'm back now. I see I've missed quite a bit. XD

I've been busier than a Scootaloo with its head cut off lately with my overloaded class schedule. I'm going to try to riff when I can, but I make no guarantees. Add a few snarks for me in my absence, okay?

BTW, when are you planning to do the final edit of the Past Sins MST Part II?

HE'S GOING TO WRITE A SEQUEL FIC. SHIPPING LIGHTNING AND TWILIGHT.

This is not a bid for attention. This fic was not written to elicit a reaction of befuddlement. This was, at one point, a series of thoughts that did in fact make sense. Bear that in mind as you pick it apart.

In addition to Sterling, I grant you one more piece to riff...
A piece, that frankly, looks like it doesn't take itself seriously. I can assure you, that all silliness within, was not intended to be "funny"...

You folks seem to be enjoying that, so I tossed in chapter two. Wish I had some time to riff...

As much as I think taunting the mentally disabled is wrong, that was mildly funny.

I just can't get it through my head that anything he says is true - I seriously can only believe that he's an attention hors of the highest order, I just don't think it's possible to have your head that far up your own ass.

Kids, this is what mental difficulties looks like.

>>79531
Wow. Never before have I seen someone that stupid. And I know someone who dressed up as Derpy on Bronycon. Well, have fun mocking him. And if he turns you into vilains in a sequel, will you bring the rainbow of darkness?

Are non-pony fics allowed? 'Cause Jon's sending in one that his ex wrote (and is still writing) about some crappy gay (not an insult, I mean it is all about the gay) anime. It's a freakin' GOLDMINE for riffing!

Pweeze?

>>78988
We've riffed plenty of my fics before.

>>79698
Really... ? Didn't know...

>>79698

...I didn't know that "one" counted as "plenty".

>>79893
Sorry, didn't mean plenty. Meant only the one, but I seem to remember sending in a few when we first started...

>>79610
Did you look at the Archived Chat Doc? Then you'll hate him even more.

>>78988
I'm making new copies of these docs that do not have the highlighted comments.

I'll get the other ones done tomorrow.

So, I just had a random idea. What if we made a sort of "riffer profile" thing to link to the main document? Y'know, have all of the consistent riffers just type up a little paragraph about themselves. Nothing personal, just stuff like interests, favorite ponies, riffing style. I dunno, I just think it might be a fun little side project.

>>80201
I support this.

>>80201
Sure, why not? Maybe we can just post our profiles in this thread RIGHT NOW.

Maybe use a format like this:
About me:
Favourite pony:
Riffing style:
How to stalk me:*
Credit card details:

*website/email/online hangouts

(file can be a picture of your ponysona or whatever else you want to represent yourself with)

I'll start thinkin' on mine.

>>80201
If we do it like:
http://thebestgamers.net/
Then hell yes.

>>80209
I was actually thinking more along the lines of a google doc we can link to the main doc. I'm glad you guys like the idea, although I think it's more up to Ringmaster whether or not we use it. He is the, well, Ringmaster after all.

>>80296
Ah, can it. We're done with the prat, and we're going back to having fun.

The current submissions (along with Past Sins' third part) will end on the 31st. On that day, the most-commented fic(looks to be Study Buddies) will fully open for riffing, and the second wave of requests will be uploaded. These include the first chapters of:

Mysterious Mare-do-Well: Rise of the Shadowbolt
The Elements of Discord
Hearts of Red Ink
On a Cross and Arrow
A Rising Light
Sterling
The Conversion Bureau: Guardian Chronicles

Wow, that's a lot of entries. You will have a month to comment on them, them the best-received will be the next fic we'll do.

Also, I'm thinking of making a separate doc for any non-pony stuff we might do. Should I?

>>80593

Scratch that, it looks like "Fire and Rain" is the most-commented.

>On a Cross and Arrow
It "taint" hard to come up with a few riffs for that.

>Hearts of Red Ink
As if it isn't already pretty much self-riffed by Samurai and Midnight. Don't think I'll be contributing much to this one (riffing trollfics? What is this I don't even).

>non-pony
Maybe make that doc when we actually have something to put in it (unless we do already...?)

>>80598

Gelid already submitted something, at at least three of us have our own MST series separate from this.

>>80596

Reposting some links because I'm tired of hunting for them.

>>80599
Ah yes, that he did. I say go ahead and make that doc then. Pony, non-pony, all are equal under the eyes of our indented boldface mirth.

I'm tired. I can't even label these.

I'll put them in the main doc tomorrow.

Mykan inspired a twelve-year-old girl to make her own story in the MiB universe, which has been added to the end of the Part Five doc.

Oh, and I made this, loosely based off an idea from the FiMchan thread: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kRrvzbHVGEBbO2HJ5Y_dzoKg80JKfJ4CZGTkn_4vnAQ/edit?hl=en_US

>>81363
Mykan's still working on that? What's he been up to, if I might ask?

>>81374

Actually, he just finished the fic a week or two ago. He's been making quite a stink over here recently, though: http://fim.413chan.net/fic/res/15524.html

Just posted another submission. This one's short.

Journals of an Equestrian Nobody: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OY5M9nSEnaa6779mgoNANp5otMGBkICF84eTHq0zeDg/edit?hl=en_US

We need to start the Past Sins judging soon. When's the best time?

>>82471
I can help this time. Any day is fine, although I have the most free time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the weekends.

Tomorrow night (Wednesday) is good...

>>81363

guys

guys

this is amazing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T5mD9htt5Ur2dWtaTYIKnkMBp-hKWOaKOQ3lDHBEjnE/edit?hl=en_US

>>82586

Anybody else up for Wednesday?

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/9894/My-Little-Unicorn%3A-Magic-is-Believing

you know what you have to do.

>>82657
OK, hold on, we need to be fair.

Yes, even to Mykan. Love and tolerance.

Can I ask that, at least for now, people please confine their criticism to the fic rather than the author?

>>82660
I was suggesting "give it the star rating it deserves", but I can see how the history of such words would indicate rape the living shit out of it.

The google document hasn't updated in a while. Are you guys still working on the MSTs? I am really looking forward to the Past Sins one being finished, and I can't wait for all the other stories you are planning on doing.

>>82650
D'awww, that's adorable. He thinks he knows what riffing is.
Also, Wednesday night is fine.

So...
Was there a particular time you wanted to do this, Ring?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RYoh4TcZx8g3DLesJBWULItsXH-iVaGPJgsFkpEesTE/edit?hl=en_US

>>82851
How exactly does comment judging work, since I can't edit the older docs?

>>82667
I attempted to read it and review each chapter. I made it three in. I don't know how you guys can stand to read and riff the entire thing. However, I did notice that the person who posted it for him is taking down any negative comment even if they aren't hurtful. Seeing as I offered constructive criticism, of which there was a lot, if it gets taken down I think I can go to knighty about it and get the story removed. It has no place on an FiM site except to be mocked relentlessly. Keep doing what you guys are doing, and good luck making it through that story with your sanity intact.

Well, basically, we go through the comments and ask "Is this funny or not?" If it is, it goes in the doc, if not, it goes bye-bye.

Sometimes we move comments around if we figure it'd be funnier at the end of the sentence, or at the beginning or end of a group of comments already in the doc.

>>83154
Well... you tried. And I admire how you put in constructive criticism rather than just 'YU SUK!!1!1!' (Not that the latter isn't warranted...)

And riffing the thing is <i>how</i> you get through reading it. It's a Giggle At The God-Awful thing.

Hey guys! Remember when I sent you The Royal Sick? That was mine, and I found another fic I wrote when I was a noob at writing! It's called "Grenace: City of Beauty". It's about some schmuck in a steampunk city, and the ponies appear outta nowhere and try to destroy the city for no reason.

>>82851

Not exactly knowing how voting works, is there going to be another session?

>>84789
Second that question.

Has there been any new stuff? I'm getting kinda bored reading the same fics I've already done...

Heh... something I just put together, as a response to mephistopheles' mentioning the Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear:

"I must not suck. Suck is the fic-killer. Suck is the little idiocy that brings total moronization. I will face my suck. I will let an editor go over it and through it. And when he is done I will watch and abide by his suggestions. When the editing is done there will be no sucking left, and only a good fic will remain" ... aw who am I kidding, it's Mykan.

(Tumbleweed)
...Did Ring get kidnapped by ninjas or something?

>>86033

No, I'm still here. And yeah, we have to start voting again soon. We need as many people as possible, though.

>>86035

Oh, forgot to re-add my username.

>>86035

Any night except Mondays and Wednesdays work for me.

>>81376
The thread got overloaded and is dead at 4550 posts, damn. RIP it was fun while it lasted. I am looking forward to seeing the end result of this thread. I like what I have already seen. Hopefully you go through enough fics to have many more threads.

>>86309
Wow. I didn't even know that could happen. That's kinda amazing in a... negative amazing way.

>>86309

Should someone make a new thread, and link it in there by deleting a single one of their posts from the first thread?
