In
anticipation of some sort of debate over authors being MST’d, here are a few
guidelines:
The
person doing the MST must have
the authors permission to satirize their work publicly. Permission of such should be included
in the disclaimer. If permission
is not granted, the MST cannot be posted to the
lists.
The
author must be made aware of the definition of MST if they are not familiar
with it.
Feedback
can be posted to the list as well as directly to the author of the MST. CONSTRUCTIVE feedback. Please do not flame or lose your
temper. If you’re reading it and it’s been
posted, that means that the author gave permission for this to be
done.
Don't count on it... I'm the author of the fic Mad
Hamhands recently gave the MST treatment. I assure you no such
premissions where given.
Anyone
can MST any fic. Just be sure to
have the author’s permission first.
Well good old Mad
Hamhands didn't get it from me. For it it's worth I don't consider that
story my best work for the following reasons.
1) It's almost four
years old, I think I've become a slightly better writer in that
time.
2) It's one of the Buffy
fanfics I ever wrote
3) I'd most likely write
it in a very different manner if were to write about those same topics
again.
I
now return you to your regularly scheduled
fanfic.
