* [[Berserk Button]]: Many, many, things that show up in the fanfictions are these to Skepkitty.
Line 72:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
{{quote|Sorry. Does "hate" still look like a word to you?}}
** [[
{{quote|'''Grant:''' I feel that this is time to introduce a catch phrase; I mean, Skepkitty has “The plot thickens”. Hm… ”The plot takes a U-turn”… ”The plot hits a fork in the road”…perhaps I should just stick with “Fuck it”}}
** JOY JOY JOY JOY JOY JOY
Line 80:
{{quote|And here’s another stupid chapter of the stupid fanfiction [[My Immortal]], which is stupid.}}
* [[Fan Nickname|Detractor Nickname]]: Invader Cakez, author of "Grazie the Beautiful New Girl", is almost always referred to by Skepkitty as "Invader [[The Cake Is a Lie|The-Cakez-Is-A-Lie]]".
* [[Five Second Foreshadowing]]: Skepkitty helps us out with the [[
{{quote|''Really really really bad feelings''}}
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Invader Cakez, originally the author of two of the fics subject to MSTing here, by May 2012 has become a hater of badfics herself.
Line 122:
* [[This Is Sparta]]: Used when the [[Catch Phrase]] "It. Sporks. Itself." is present, and many other times as well.
* [[All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary]]: There are many, many references to tropes on the site.
* [[Unusual Chapter Numbers]]: The MSTs have four separate counters: Horrible Fanfiction, guest MSTs, ''[[My Immortal]]'' and ''Surviving Middle School at Aperture Science''. Hence, Skepkitty acknowledged both [https://web.archive.org/web/20130604080809/http://theskepkitty.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/horrible-fanfiction-73-teen-fortress-2-a-team-fortress-2-portal-fanfic/ the 100th MST] and [http://theskepkitty.wordpress.com/2012/01/13/horrible-fanfiction-100-love-knows-no-race-part-6-an-invader-zim-fanfic/ the 100th HFF]{{Dead link}}.
** RingmasterJ5's MST of Half Humans, as it's only on the book and not on the blog, doesn't get a number, and is known as "guest MST #?".
Line 142:
* [[Exposition Beam]]
* [[Fandom-Specific Plot]]: Many of the [[Fanfic|FanFics]] [[MST|MSTed]] on the site.
** There's also a blog post about [[Fandom-Specific Plot|Fandom Specific Plots]] in [[Invader Zim]] [http://theskepkitty.wordpress.com/2011/05/25/overused-iz-fanfic-plots/ here]{{Dead link}}, as well as a blog post about Invader Zim pairings [http://theskepkitty.wordpress.com/2011/01/29/invader-zim-fanfic-couplings-and-why-they-are-mostly-horrible/ here]{{Dead link}}, and blog posts about pairings and overused plots in Portal are being worked on.
* [[Forgotten Phlebotinum]]: In many instances. See [[Gratuitous German]] below.
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]:
Line 157:
*** [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] had to be told what "kami" means, because she didn't know that. <ref>It's Japanese for "God" or "deity"</ref>.
* {{spoiler|[[Incest Is Relative]]: Love Knows No Race practically runs on incest. Red/Purple, then Zim/Dib (Red and Purple's kids), and then Purple/Sek (Zim and Dib's kid).}}
** {{spoiler|Though, Zim/Dib is actually incest (in the fic, as they're twins), [[Ho Yay]] (complete with [[
*** {{spoiler|If Dib wasn't Irken all along, it would have been [[Interspecies Romance]] as well.}}
* [[Instant Humiliation - Just Add YouTube]]: Grazie's prank in Grazie The Beautiful New Girl was an [[iCarly|air-cannon rigged cookie basket]] left on Zim's doorstep. Grazie filmed it and put it up on YouTube, under the name DEATH BY COOKIES.
* [[Lost Forever]]: Often Skepkitty will MST fics that end up being deleted from FF.Net, [[My Immortal]] was removed even before Skepkitty was active, and [[Me in Invader Zim? Oh Kami|Me in Invader Zim Oh Kami]] was removed while it was in progress ''and'' Skepkitty was MSTing it, leading to her [http://theskepkitty.wordpress.com/2011/11/26/ding-dong-oh-kamis-dead/ officially acknowledging the loss.]{{Dead link}}
** Recently Invader Cakez removed the Grazie saga ''because'' Skepkitty MSTed it.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: In the universe of Invader Zim: Born Again Christian, the plot of It's My Life replaced Portal 2.
** Also from Invader Zim: Born Again Christian, both [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] and the reviews pointed out the "former" relationship between Gaz and [[Team Fortress 2|Demoman]].
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: [[
{{quote|'''''Then we started our normal Saturday retain (a/n I suck at spelling).'''''}}
* [[Self-Insert Fic]]: What many fanfictions that [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] features is based around. It also counts as a [[Berserk Button]] for her.
