she know what she doing. Renfield originally created the Shredder in response to the curiosity of her friends at hearing that she and RackhamRose had been busily MSTing certain intolerably bad fanfics that had been vomited into inboxes from a common mailing list. With too many friends to email the MST sessions to, and no desire to post them to the mailing list, she elected instead to upload them to a convenient bit of webspace and share the link. In this light, it could be said that the existence of the Shredder is owed in some small part to the Offender known sometimes as Black Gymshorts. Renfield's compulsion for writing humor, paired with RackhamRose's keen wit and love of literature, proved a volatile combination when applied to the most toxic dregs of fanfiction. The Shredder has since expanded to cover five popular anime series, with others periodically up for consideration. Renfield wishes to apologize for her sometimes topical humor, to thank you for visiting, and for not linking to the Shredder from anywhere other than your bookmarks folder. ;) Q: You guys are meeean! A: Gee, I guess there's no fooling you! Please phrase your question in the form of a question. Q: Don't you have anything better to do? A: Absolutely. That's why updates are so infrequent. Q: What gives you the right to say that about their stories!? A: Well, for starters, the fact that they were all published in public Internet forums for the review of the public. The key word here is "public." Q: I bet you're just jealous because you can't write! A: Oh please. If I couldn't write, how would I know what they're doing wrong? Please phrase your question in the form of a question. Q: Hey, why didn't you MST that one fanfic I recommended? A: Well, there's a number of reasons. We don't cover anime beyond the current menu of series. We do not MST songfics, compositional debut fics, or fanfiction by the very young or those with English as a second language. Your provided url may also no longer be valid, or the writer may have been tipped wise, and removed the story. Q: Can I be a guest MSTer? A: Guest MSTers appear by invitation only, and can find it a difficult challenge to keep up with RackhamRose and me. We've spent years building our resistance to forms of grammar that can be hazardous or potentially traumatizing to less experienced writers. Short answer: no. Q: Zero Wing is so 2002. Can't you just let it die, already? A: Ah, if only. I'm afraid the meme has taken on a life of its own, within the site. By now it's our official running gag, or something. Q: Why is all your text in purple? A: It's a holdover from way back when I used to write/roleplay Xellos. Sometimes it's difficult to get out of character, you know? ^__~ Q: Why does the front page say "Choose Wisely?" A: Because there are no links between sections. Delve into one, and the only way into another is to backtrack to the front page through the history list beside your "back" button. Q: Hey, I have a question that isn't in the FUQs! A: Good thing we've got a guestbook on the front page, then! Please remember to phrase your question in the form of a question. ;) |
