Hey, it's fun, what can I say?
So two badfics just a few topics down the line were posted, and one was about some dirty habits involving Eowyn, Arwen and Aragorn, post-War of the Ring.
I've been working on an MST of "Anything for my King" by Lily Frost.
Here's what I have so far:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Enjoy! And I am so, so sorry. -

From the hearth spilt red-gold light,
Aden: Dude, I don't think even wizards can split light of any sort. What is that hearth made of?
Ethan: God, Aden. The hearth is God Incarnate.

Erm, you may wish to reread that bit. I'm certain "spilt" and "split" have vastly different meanings in spite of looking similar. ^^;;
Oh, how I love to see the perverted fantasies of others laid waste by the ruthlessly nitpicky. I need to do one of these some day, myself (when I stop being lazy, of course). -

Ah, what the heck. The joke's too funny to change, I'll just say they read that wrong or something.
MSTs are ridiculous fun, once you get past all the html coding and editing from hell.
Best tackled on a computer, rather than a phone, like what I'm doing. -

It's just tedious, is all.

Welp, it had to happen eventually, might as well have been with the bold code.

And even then it's more of a mild dislike. Personally, I don't mind it too much, although I prefer Bookman Old Style, detest Arial, and prefer not to be given school assigments in Comic Sans. I think it isn't really a font I associate with anything serious/professional.
Then again, that's just my opinion :) Make of it what you will.

From a design standpoint, it looks immature. by

The spacing wonky, there's not a lot of symmetry, and it's already associated with overly-cheerful children's stuff and basically no graphic designer who wants to be taken seriously goes near Comic Sans.
That being said, I'm sure it can be used tastefully; I just haven't seen any such examples myself. -
So basically like Papyrus? (nm) by

I personally don't know, since I've never used comic sans.

My eyessssssss...it burnssssss us, preciousss...
Why did I think it was a good idea to click, refresh, and then repeat at least twice? My eyes hurt. Ugh.
I'm very curious as to how the urplifying was accomplished, though. Maybe someone could do it in a soothing deep blue now, that might help my eyes...

...try to make it a soothing beep blue, to put the stress test to your ears instead.

I'm enjoying this a lot so far, but I noticed that Arwen stole a couple of Aden's lines in part 3. :P
