An MST is a certain way of making fun of text or video in a
light-hearted way. It started with a television show called Mystery
Science Theatre 3000 (or MST3K for short). The show is about a
scientist who is doing an experiment on two robots to see how long it
will take them to go insane from watching awful B-rate movies from the
1970s. To keep their sanity, they make fun of the movies by inserting
their own humorous lines into the movie's dialogue. The show's
characters change quite a bit over the seasons, but it is always about
making fun of bad movies. This is called "MSTing" because of the show's
name.
Now, people use this technique to make fun of bad fanfiction by
inserting their own lines into the text of somebody's story. The story
itself isn't changed, just interrupted.

Bonus:
8-bit Theatre does
an MST3K tribute!
Author's Notes: The badfic was written by me, and originally posted at the
Message Board.
It is a truly dreadful story, and was written solely for educational
purposes. All damage to the literary world was unintentional.
To MST, you first need a proper story, such as this horrendous garbage:
Love at first sight

A/N
laureenion is NOT a mary sue, whatever that is, so no flames are
allowed! this is a great story so if you dont like it dont read it!!!

through a hole. she found herself in middle-earth. "wow she said im in

Love at first sight
by: AragornLuster14367
A/N laureenion is NOT a mary sue,
Spomonie: Read, she is 100% Sue.
whatever that is,
Nurvingiel: Ignorance does not exempt you from your crimes.
S: Nurvi, please put down that lighter fluid... please?
so no flames are allowed!
S: Au contraire mon ami.
N: (holding lighter fluid) Are you sure I can't use this?
S: This is an old building Nurv, we'd die along with the fic.
this is a great story so if you dont like it dont read it!!!
N: Because of course we will know it's crap in advance, because of our
psychic powers.
S: Actually, the title is a bit of a tip off.
one day a girl was walking down the street when she tripped and fell
through a hole.
S: And died. The end.
she found herself
in middle-earth.
N: Fortunately it was not the real Middle-earth. It
was "middle-earth", the land of bad typing.
"wow she said im in
middle earth!"
soon the follpwhship found her. "hey there" said argorn
N: And a Mini-Balrog was born.
Mr Bagging: (looks attentive)
"would you like to help us destroy the ring of power?
S:
(Aragorn) I would like to invite a total stranger who appeared
magically in our midst to join a top secret mission to save the world!
we need your skills as a warrior"
N: Author's whim!
S:
(Author) My character will establish herself with no effort on my part!
and laureenion said"sure" for that was her name.
N: (Aragorn)
Hello Sure, nice to meet you.
so she joined them and aragorn
thought this is the most beutifyul woman ive ever seen.
S: (gags)
Quick! Get the barf bags! We need barf bags!!
N: (looking green) I can't
take a horrendous out of character romance, noooo...
and aragorn
and laureenion destroyed the ring together then they got married.
N: (Frodo) Hey, didn't Elrond charge me with the task...
S: It's best
for poor Frodo he's not even mentioned. Imagine the horrors Sue powers would
have inflicted on him!
the end.
N: That was... random...
S: Who cares! It's over!
A/N well what do you think? plz
r&r!!!!!!!!111!!1
S: We think it's rubbish!
N: R&R? I can handle that. I assume you mean rest and relaxation.
If this were a real MST, I would have written an introduction and a
conclusion as well. I think it's nice to create a setting and a
loosely woven timeline in a series of MSTs.
Note the characteristics of this particular Sue - her name, which I pulled
out of my wazoo, how she falls into Middle-earth, and how Aragorn loves
her instead of Arwen, which of course would never happen. Also note how
she destroys the Ring and joins the Fellowship, and basically hijacks
the entire story for her own sick, demented purposes. That is an
extreme example of a Mary Sue.
