I feel kind of crappy for speaking my mind and don't think I'll be doing it under the beacon on anonymity again. Would it be too weird to tap the recipient's Internet shoulder and come clean?

I do not know, but I kind of feel the same way about the (only) MST I did, and will be watching comments for the advice you get. :)

I've only done one MST, too, and even though the fic was all kinds of abysmal I still feel a little weird about it. Like coughing down a cigarette to fit in with the cool kids or something. I mean, at least I could've written a "real" fic instead of ripping someone else's.

It's pretty amazing how peer pressure can exist like that online as much as in RL.

I'm not bothered myself that I did it -- I wrote it because I wanted to, and I think the MST turned out well -- so much as that I did it behind the original author's back, and even though the story was absolutely terrible, like you say, I feel bad that she doesn't know this thing is out there making fun of what she wrote. Which makes me want to go to her and confess -- even though she'd probably only feel bad, and then I'd have to take it down, and...

So, yes.

Leaving concrit isn't as much fun as MSTing, I guess. I don't feel bad about making Chase and Foreman watch America's Next Top Model and Cameron give tutorials on netspeak, but I agree that it seems rather shady to tear into someone else work so blatantly without their knowledge. The Internet is just as cliquish as anywhere else.

Oh, oh, I have commented on two neglected fics so far, by the way! It's kind of sad how proud I am of myself for that. Still plowing on, plenty more to go...
