Angrish is overrated.

Dear MSTers/Sporkers/Riffers/etc,

I read MSTs to laugh at badfic. If I wanted a detailed analysis of every spelling and grammar error in terrible fiction, I'd run a spellcheck. Unless it's a sentence like "Out pooped Sailor Mercury" or "Harry Potter masturbated his salad", I don't think we need commentary about how the author's spelling and grammar sucks. We can clearly see for ourselves, thanks.

The same goes for if you're doing a sporking in the style of Das Mervin's Twilight reviews, where you're being educational rather than funny. It'd be wise not to miss the forest for the trees; I think I'd be more angry about the brutal villianization of Princess Cadance to make the Mary-Sue look good instead of an instance that the author used "your" instead of "you're."

Sincerely,
Puri

I'm not as big a fan of the Nostalgia Critic as I used to be, but "The King & I" episode was pretty good. The Russell Crowe gag was overlong and felt out of place, but at least it wasn't as bad as the "Pearl Harbor" review where the whole Michael Bay sketch took up more of the episode than the riffing of the actual movie itself. I prefer my reviews straight to the point without obnoxious story arcs. :P

THIS. The only time constant spelling and grammar comments in a spork work in my book is if someone's using a character who's canonically a grammar nazi. And if it's played for a joke and the character gets nudged and poked to stop doing it. Or if it's a hilarious running error like "knealt" in Cori's fics. Otherwise...how can a person focus entirely on mechanics if the fic has disturbing or narmy subject matter like two bumbling baddies being mentally triggered by HAIRCUTS? XD
