Eye of Argon- MST3K style

[DarkMagess]

The Eye of Argon is reported to be the worst fantasy story ever written. And then someone wrote an MST3K script around it.

You all need to read this.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

Read, you must read it. It's a short story. ;)

I've attempted to read a lot of MST fan writing - I generally give up because the attempts seem to miss the characterization and just seem like they're attempting to stalely [that a word?] paste quips into a story without really understanding the MST characters, how to set the mood or understanding how to properly form a reader[/viewer]-inclusive run-on gag.

This one, though... seems so far to get it all spot on. This person understands that MST3King does not equal simple snarkiness and that there's a special balance of appreciation and mock contempt for the subject matter.

Thanks for the link, I'm enjoying it much.
