WARNING: in this topic MST3K slash will be discussed. For those who don't know, "slash" is a fanfic term that basically means taking two male characters who really don't have any business being together and...putting them together. With kissing and stuff. If this is not your cup of tea, or if this is just too weird for you, turn back now. Seriously. I'm giving you fair warning, I don't wanna hear about how I've ruined your childhood, okay? Okay.So yeah, this is kinda interesting - at the RiffTrax forums here, they're holding a Fanfic Competition. The fanfic has to involve MST3K characters and/or characters from MSTed films, and it has to be either a shipper or slash fic. "Shipper", for those who don't know, basically means a romantic fanfic, and it can be for either boy/girl or boy/boy. Like if you say, "I totally ship Mike/Nuveena" or "Joel/Mike is my main ship", that means you think they would make a cute couple. I know at least some of you are somewhat open to MST3K slash, and I know at least Calandra and I have lamented about the lack of MST3K romance fanfic in general, so I thought this might be of some interest to you guys. I might enter, but I dunno...I used to write fanfiction all the time when I was younger, and it all pretty much sucks. XD I do have an idea for a sort of Mary Sue parody, where this girl suddenly appears on the SOL, and everyone acts like she's always been there, but Gypsy is the only one who sees the truth, and hilarity ensues. I've thought about writing a serious Joel/OC fanfic, but I just can't do it. I know I'm the only one who would be interested in reading it. XD

I don't know if I'll enter (I really haven't got any ideas) but I will be reading all of that! I wrote a fanfic in high school a long time ago (my girlfriends and I were having a raunchy fanfic contest at our lunch table) and the person who wrote the dirtiest fanfic between them and their celebrity male of their choice won. Well, I chose Joel...and won, hehe! I would very much like to see Joel or Mike get cuddly with a woman for a change in the fanfic circles, but hey, if you got two hot guys, why the hell not y'know? ;D I will certainly be keeping an eye on this. Kinda weird that it's happening at Riffrax though...I mean we know that Bill checks out the forums, and Mike might keep an eye on it, but this will be the first instance that I've heard of where Mike might actually be face to face with a piece of writing where Joel is his romantic partner!  Oh and Robyn, you wouldn't be the only one to want to read your Joel/OFC fic. I would totally read it! |

Well, I chose Joel...and won, hehe! Sounds like you have some awesome girlfriends. Now I'm curious - I don't suppose you have said fanfic saved anywhere, do ya? ;D Kinda weird that it's happening at Riffrax though...I mean we know that Bill checks out the forums, and Mike might keep an eye on it, but this will be the first instance that I've heard of where Mike might actually be face to face with a piece of writing where Joel is his romantic partner! I know, right!? I'm half-expecting Bill to comment on it, mostly because he's been posting so much on the forums lately and seems to have fully embraced fan weirdness. Maybe I'll write that Brain Guy/Bobo fanfic I've been mulling over, just to be sure! XD Oh and Robyn, you wouldn't be the only one to want to read your Joel/OFC fic. I would totally read it! Well, maybe someday I'll write it and just post it here. It's just embarrasing 'cause I know it would turn out really cheesy and Mary Sue-ish and completely-missing-the-point-of-the-show so I'm very hesitant about it. I don't know WHY, I've written plenty of embarrasing things on this board.  |

Really it was only me and one other girl competing, with other friends reading and judging - she kinda chickened out at the last minute and chose to go the tender, romantic route for her love scene while I got down and dirty with it. XD Unfortunately, I had written this out on paper rather than a computer, and so the only evidence of a then 15-year old Queen's idea of graphic sex has long since been lost.  But that's probably for the best. What was brilliant then is probably laughable now. Though I do remember a part about Joel lapping up something...  |

O_____O
That...sounds...SCANDALOUS! </Recess> I can't believe they're doing that...and yeah, Bill commenting on fics seems feasible 'cause he's that cool and that in touch with the internet. XD (But Mike's reaction--or Joel's, for that matter--to "Joike" would be hard to imagine!)
I gotta give some credit to anyone who can actually sit down and complete a story...I'm decent at pictures but when it comes to, uh, words I'm not very good. <__<
That Mary Sue parody fanfic sounds like a really funny idea by the way!

"Well, that settles it - I'm never going on the internet ever again." WAIT, I think I've just stumbled across the real reason Joel hasn't blogged in a while! Oops! XD Anchan, thank you for bringing up "Joike" - I almost forgot about that freaking sweater. Clearly, Gypsy was on to something. Maybe I can write something involving the sweater somehow! *plot bunnies bounce around* ;D |

I'm surprised the rifftrax forum is allowing that. Regardless of my own thoughts, I'm just a bit startled that a forum officially related to the MST3k stars is okay with it.

@hygiene: If it's any consolation, I doubt anyone is gonna write anything really scandalous to the point of drawing attention, probably everyone will play it safe. And despite all my big talk, I've written nothing. XD

Just caught up with the thread over there, and while the backlash seemed to come a little late, it came eventually. I genuinely don't understand all the hate for fanfiction in general (I can see why slash freaks some people out). Is a lot of it disgustingly awful? Yes. Hell yes even. But there are some gems in there for sure. When I read fanfiction, I'm not reading it to make fun of people. I'm reading it to maybe get a new take on characters from my favorite fictional universes, or to see someone else try to fill-in-the-blanks between stories (the Harry Potter universe is a great example of this). It's cool to see someone else's imagination at work is all, even if what they come up with is a little twisted. Still hope they post some fics though. I'm quite curious. ;D |

It's cool to see someone else's imagination at work is all, even if what they come up with is a little twisted. I completely agree (except that I also go looking for bad fanfic to MST...but apparently that's something that was cool back in the 90s and no one really does it now. ) But yes, I really love fanfiction that tries to explain what happened "off-screen" or fanfiction that attempts to fill plot holes. Actually, the more plot holes in a fictional universe, the better...I love coming up with theories to try to make the plot holes make sense. MST3K is a great example of this. Relaxing is for the weak! XD Y'know, I've been thinking, maybe we should just have our own fanfic contest! Like, anyone who's interested writes something, and then we vote on which story we like best, and the winner gets...something. I dunno. Something cool. I dunno what the theme would be, as long as it's something. I mean, I'm just so desperate for MST3K fanfic, I'd take exsitensial drama if someone wrote it. XD |

Sounds good to me. I'll have to wait until the inspiration takes me unless we come up with an actual topic that we all use! I do have an extra legitimate copy of MST3K: The Movie and The Film Crew's Hollywood After Dark due to an Amazon processing error. I was gonna save 'em for a contest at the other board, but you guys are just as deserving!

I want to write a fanfiction version of There Will Be Blood with Trace's Crow as Daniel Day-Lewis' character and Mike as that preacher guy.

I'm writing a fanfiction where an OC of mine goes on the SOL. Oh, and it's going to have a lot of Tom/Gypsy  |

I was gonna save 'em for a contest at the other board, but you guys are just as deserving! That's perfect! I was thinking it'd be nice to have some kind of prize, but I don't really have anything that anyone would want, unless you're interested in a Starbucks giftcard with $1.19 left on it. I want to write a fanfiction version of There Will Be Blood with Trace's Crow as Daniel Day-Lewis' character and Mike as that preacher guy. Make it a crossover with Harry Potter and you've got a winner. I'm writing a fanfiction where an OC of mine goes on the SOL. Oh, and it's going to have a lot of Tom/Gypsy D'aaw, fer cute.  |
