Mystery Science Theater En Masse (MST 'EM): Summer Reading Program
"In a somewhat distant future... insert date here, A.D..."

They're back for more beatings.

After Dr. Eggman forced the four hedgehogs of the Egg Spiral to riff "The White Hedgehog", he actually apologized to them and let them go. Of course, they're rather grateful for that, but somehow, they're all set to riff some more fics on their own to fine-tune their skills. Let's hope that they don't run into any Kathryn clones along the way.

But the Black Crow has a different tale to tell...

After riffing a bunch of badfics, Kyo has obviously had enough of them. It's rumored that "Sky Blue" or "Ultimate" was the fic that tripped his wires. He secretly succeeds in hijacking the satellite with Jessie's help. As a result, the Black Crow is now destroyed after a massive crash. After wandering around for a while, the four managed to live near the Egg Spiral members. Is this a mistake for them?

G = K
PG = K+
PG-13 = T

M12/A06 - (Both are Pokémon fics.)
Starting Fresh by viicious
With Short: Deep in my heart by Whitewinged Demon
It's about time that the Egg Spiral members had to deal with a short. Be prepared to facepalm at the name in it, though. Also, have your hardhats ready for the Suethor's rage in the main feature.
Fic's Rating: K on the main, K+ on the short.
MST's Rating: K+
*MST has some mild language and a bit of crudeness.*

M13/B06 - miharu's story of star comand (Buzz Lightyear of Star Command fic by Telekonomo)
Miharu, a Neko-Chan-Desu-whatever, "Japanizes" the series to heck and back, much to Kyo's dismay. Also, what causes Miyu to fly solo for a bit? And will Jessie avoid being drunk?
Fic's Rating: T (FF.Net Rating)
MST's Rating: T/M for language.
*The first five chapters are riffed from the FF.Net version, while the sixth chapter's riffed from the DeviantArt version.*
*The fic contains "yaoi", "yuri", "extreme violence", and "character death". You'll find out why the warnings are in quotations.*
Parts: One  Two  Three

M14/A07 - Why Men Cheat in the Summer (Original Article by Victoria Lucia)
So, why do all men allegedly have to cheat in only the summer? The Egg Spiral members investigate... kind of. They just spend their investigation time riffing and pointing out the double standards, like all good riffers do.
Article's Rating: K+
MST's Rating: K+
*The hyperlinks are removed. Want to see it untouched? Go to the original.*

M15/B07 - All Men Apparently Suck
20 Reasons a Best Friend is Better Than a Boyfriend by Erin Meanley (Original is [here])
3 Ways Men Piss Women Off ... Without Even Realizing It by Julia Austin (Original is [here])
There are lots of ways to anger Kyo, and these articles are only two of the reasons. Nothing beats lumping every woman and man into their own boxes and groups, right?
Article's Rating: K+ for the first article, T for the second
MST's Rating: T for minor language.
*The title is inspired by a riff that Jessie said during the "Quadruple Valentine's Whammy" riffing: "Well... uh... is this a question that will be on the 'All Men Apparently Suck' final?"*
Read it here!

M16/A08 - Saranghamnida (Tekken fic by DJMKRRoyaltee)
Try saying that title five times fast. The four hedgehogs have to deal with the sick rhymes of Jin Kazama. They also slip into their own mockery of bad slang in the first part. In the second part, what causes Amy to loathe cookies?
Fic's Rating: M
MST's Rating: T, due to Amy and Sonia's innuendo.
*Fic's slightly modified for the MST's format.*
*There's a mild sex scene in Part Two.*
Parts: One  Two

M17/B08 - Sonic: Dead or Alive? (Sonic fic by KariKamiya)
In this fic, we're introduced to Tanya, the long-lost older sister of Miles "Tails" Prower. If you've read the riffing of "The White Hedgehog", you should see where I'm going with this. If not, here's a better description: "How to warp 'SatAM' by throwing every single episode sans 'The Doomsday Project' into a wood chipper". Scratch that, even that episode went down the tubes, too. Also, the Black Crow members are extremely sick of Tanya. Read along with them, and I will guarantee you that you will find out why. If there's another character that can work Miyu Prower's nerves, it is worth discovering.
Fic's Rating: T
MST's Rating: T for language.
*Fic contains minor language.*

M18/S02 - Brewdening Love (Twilight Trollfic by ErinOfTheCullenClan)
Take the original "Twilight" book (and possibly "Midnight Sun"), add even worse grammar, a bunch of bible thumping hipocrisy, a lot more homophobia and xenophobia, and you will get this thing. The Egg Spiral and Black Crow riffers are in the middle of making an eight person smorgasbord, and they're now in limbo between Heaven and Hell in this fic... though they're two steps away from Hell, thanks to most of their "unholy" actions.
Fic's Rating: M
MST's Rating: M for language and innuendo.
*The fic has language and... oh, boy... those atrocities that were mentioned in the summary. You've been warned.*
*Please note that I'm not making fun of anybody's religion. I'm only snarking on the poorly written bible thumping in this fic. That is all.*
Parts: One  Two  Three  Four - Manic  Five - Miyu  Six - Sonic  Seven - Cassy  Eight - Jessie  Nine - Amy  Ten - Kyo  Eleven - Sonia  Twelve  Thirteen
*From Parts Four to Eleven, the other seven riffers will be speaking from the kitchen. For example, Manic will mostly riff by himself in the fourth part, so everyone else will be cooking and saying their occasional two cents from that location, mainly because the kitchen isn't that far away. At least it saves time in redundancy, because who wants to see "from the kitchen" for eight whole parts?*
