Enough with these fan MSTings.
1) They're huge and screw up my server.
2) They're not funny.
3) They're one dimensional - only riffing a script. MST3K riffs the
dialogue, the screen composition, the music score, and so forth.
PLEASE, if you want to show you're capable of doing an MST3K, find a
studio with a green screen, make a videotape, and offer it.

Jonah., many ng's have fanfics.. Our version are MiSTings. No one makes
you read them. I'm not sure how they "mess up your server", but I'm an
AOLer, too, and have never had a problem with them. If you don't like
them, don't read them.

I'd go with the latter option on this one.

Actually when i was 12/13 me and some friends back in Guantanmo Bay, Cuba
did our own MST , well not OUR own; I was joel (i found out how much i
sound like him at times its scary), my friend Billy did Dr. F and Cambot
(which was a regualr home vid cam); Troy helped me build the bots and did
Dr. Erhardt & Servo (he did a very good job might i add); Kenzie helped
make the bots and did Gypsy & whatever character we made up for Deep 13;
Eric did Dr. Erhardt first and Crow till he left and we made crow go mad
and Timmy killed him and assumed his memories and a voice; Jeremy did
Timmy ( a real screechy voice for him) and tons of Deep 13 people; Chris
(Jeremy's identical twin) did our own created Doc, Dr. Felix Joe.
We started out doing the show for a class and got graded for it (A
everytime!), the SOL was my room with my dresser as the Bridge; Deep 13
was the other bedroom with weird decorations, and a cheap old computer. We
started out doing the traditional show (note: we had no special effects,
no theater seats just a camera facing a TV screen with us talking into a
mic. Can anyone say, cheap?) then we cut the movies and did a show about
the docs in Deep 13 (we left a lot, going around the neighborhood creating
havok). We even dropped the SOL at the end.
The bots werent made of all the right parts. I could go into
detail but put it this way, Gypsy was a shoebox. I had a Orange jumpsuit
and looked like i escaped from prison. We had awful invention exchanges,
and no show was longer than 20 minutes. But I loved it, they did a damn
good job trying to do something others did much better. I did build better
looking Bots ( which, unlike the first set, WORKED!) but by then i had
moved from Cuba to Florida, end of story. I did send some pics of my later
Bots to MST just in time for them to stop having letters on the air. Tha
end.
Last note: Troy & kenize, and Jeremy & Chris were 2 sets of Twins. it was
very .... odd at times.....

Either figure out how to use AOL, a good newsreader, or a kill file (Most ppl

That's something we've dealt with as best as we can. You can only do
so much with a text form.
>PLEASE, if you want to show you're capable of doing an MST3K, find a

Let's see, a text misting costs, oh, about $1 at most to make, given on-line
connection times. A video misting can easily get up to $500, as a *very*
optimistic low estimate.
We've been here for years doing this, I doubt we are going to stop now
because *one* person doesn't like them.
Again, the solution is to learn how NOT to download every article from
RATMM when you read news - or to use a killfile.

OK, Chachi, who died and made you Lord Dictator of RATMM? You've been

Buy yourself a clue.
>1) They're huge and screw up my server.
Didn't you know? Each MSTing contains the Super-Secret "LET'S SCREW UP
JONAH'S SERVER" extended ASCII character!
If you can explain how a MSTing done in five 30K chunks screws up a server
more so than a 150K file from a binaries group, I'd be really impressed.

Because, you know, it's so easy to riff on the direction and scoring of a

Because, silly RATMMites, doing it Jonah's way is much easier, cheaper,

This is true. However, many of us who have written MSTings love
getting even one piece of e-mail like one I got for my (currently on
hiatus) MSTing of "The Seven Stars". In short, hearing that you've nailed
the characters and the kind of jokes a person would expect on the show.
It's nice to be compared to your heroes.
Spending a lot of money to go in and make a shallow, unpleasant to
watch copy that everyone will go "eww, that's not much like the show" when
they see it--why?
(I, with some friends, tried to make a short sci-fi movie to
illustrate how a LAN worked (don't ask any further). It was horrible. We
tried, but nothing worked. Them movin' pictures is hard.)

the latter is certainly easier, but a few people have made their own
MST videos. I and several (former?) RATMMers did one at the 1995 Dallas
MST3K NonCon.
I recommend to everyone: do it once. do it however cheaply or with
whatever
you can scrounge up. do it, wait a month or two, then watch it with
some
friends who weren't involved, and listen to the reaction.
I recommend this because it really drives home the point that WHAT THE

First off i made a spelling (not to be confused with A. spelling of
Melrose place, etc. fame) boo-boo (not to be confused with our own Prof.
BoBo), its Guantanamo Bay cuba. Secondly in case nobody knows its a naval
base (not to be confused with lint, another navel base). But truth be told
there really wasnt much to do down there, sure there was sports but im not
into playing catch. There were beautiful beaches, but i hate to get
saltwater in my hair. And the cable system sucked (they DID get comedy
central, so it wasnt that bad). I spent 3 years there (90-93 not to be
confused with .... oh nevermind) and if i could go there again, i couldnt
cause last i heard dependants werent allowed to live there anymore. Oh
well....

It'd be funnier if you forgot about Mike, Tom, and Crow and all the others

WHEN you use those characters, you're essentially putting yourself in

They don't necessarily screw up AOL's server. There are ways to get around
large articles of you don't want 'em. But I like reading the MSTings and
downloading gives me the opportunity to go get another beer, so I don't

Right.
You have another ISP and don't like to use their newsreader (what, is it
proprietary?). Then you whine about AOL *forcing* you -- as if at
gunpoint -- to download MSTings.
Please, just to satisfy my curiosity regarding this situation, please answer
the following question intelligently:
What is preventing you from changing to an ISP you like?

Jonah13NYC
>What is preventing you from changing to an ISP you like?
1) Money. I can't afford more than 2.
2) I dislike DejaNews.
3) I'm no techhead. I'm not THAT much into computers anymore. Blame
Windows 95.
Jessica Wolfman
Dear Jonah,
Try Reference.com. Or go to dogpile (or any search engine, really;
dogpile's just more thorough), and type "newsgroup," "search," &
"enigne." There are a large number of DejaNews-like sites out there, and
many of them are actually better than DejaNews.
I guess I'm lucky, since my WebTV NG browser is incredibly easy. I can
get all the MiSTings (except I do tend to lose a few pages of some of
the very longest ones, like a compiled Ratliff story.) AND I'm limited
to 2MGs RAM and no hard drive.

Some newsreaders have line limits, and the '93 version of AOL's is one
of them... He probable needs an upgrade. (When you are a FAQ Maintainer
on a fanfic newsgroup, you learn some of these things)

I second the motion of the esteemed member from AOL. If you don't like

Preivously, on 'rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc',
If you are using a client that downloads *all* the articles of a newsgroup
before proceeding, there are two points to be made...
1) Some of these allows you to prevent downloading articles that match
certain keywords (ala Killfiles). Just add "[MiSTed]" or similar to
it, and you'll save yourself some time.
2) The size of one MiSTings tends to be much less than the *total* traffic
of RATMM in one day, and , on averge, there's about one MiSTing released a
week.
If you *really* wanna cut back the size of what you have to download,
tell *all* of RATMM to post less - the MiSTings aren't at fault here. Of
course, I doubt that anyone will discontinue their normal posting habits
because of one person's complaint.
