But otherwise, I know a passing amount about Gorillaz from watching all of their videos and spelunking on their wikipedia page. I probably shouldn't commit to this what with all the other things I'm doing though, so...

So, I'm trying to MST that awful RPS fic I mentioned a while back (link not-work-safe). Anyone willing to join in? You don't actually have to know anything about the characters involved, just be able to make smartass comments about the fic.
Also, a couple of badfics:
Finding Fate, in which the Sue is gay for teenage Noodle. Props for originality, but utter sucks to the ending. Okay, so we're talking about a universe in which brain damage turns your hair blue and one doesn't run into legal difficulty of any sort when deciding to keep an amnesiac child you found in a box. Also, while I can't buy that Murdoc would care at all about this girl, I can buy that he could be persuaded to help her for Noodle's sake. However, I cannot buy that DEADLY NIGHTSHADE would cure a GUNSHOT WOUND, nor can I imagine that the hospital staff would let a scary-looking guy and a teenage girl barge into the intensive care unit and inject an unidentified substance into a patient! Even if it worked!
I'd like to claim this one, but the problem is I'm on a couple of LJ communities which used to be frequented by this writer and I don't know if they're still there. I don't want to risk having them follow the link back to my journal and possibly find this. Any advice? I don't think they're still active in the fandom and it's unlikely they'll go trawling through the comm friends, but just in case.
The second badfic is up for grabs, though I'll take it if nobody else wants it: A Sad Story, dubbed "A Bad Story" by the wags on TVTropes - the linked page explains the fun far better than I could. My favourite line in the whole thing: "Then his uncle pulled out a shotgun, with a silencer on it."
And the third, a Legendary Badfic in the FF7 fandom, which is thoroughly non-work-safe and up for grabs because I know nothing about FF7: Chocobo Nights. Best summarised by the Ficbitches' line "TIFA JUST GAVE BIRTH TO A F---ING CHOCOBO."
In other news, someone on TVTropes put one of my fics on the fic recs page. Yay!
Don't see that too often: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4644157/4/ANewWay
Dannflor Reguba is shagging a male stoat, and his father is demonised for being the only one to think there's anything remotely odd or questionable about it. While we obviously don't know what the Abbeydwellers' response to homosexuality would be, I have my doubts that it'd be as much of a complete non-issue as it's portrayed here, and the fact that the Stu is a stoat would definitely be a really, really huge deal.

Do it anyways. It's not that different from having a fanfiction.net account, having a link to your PPC and MST stuff on that, and being in the same fandom.
If anything going about it by asking someone else do it seems more duplicitous than otherwise. Unless you straight out wave it in their face going "NEENER NEENER NEENER HEY YOU SUCK" it's not being cruel or mean or otherwise.
'Sides, at least if she finds it she'll realise that deadly nightshade does not help with gunshot wounds, and that's something you really NEED to know :) (I realise it's unlikely they think it would help in real life. Still, "it's a cartoon" only covers so much in the way of biology failure.)

Just look at the fic and see if any potential gags spring out.
I just read Ficbitches' Chocobo Nights review. *shudders* I feel unclean...
With the MST'ing, that is. I have very little knowledge of Gorillaz canon, but do have the ability to snark on cue. If you prefer someone more canon-savvy or in a better time zone for collaborative writing, though, I understand.
