Serious-ly? }}

** "''Still'' a better love story/fanfic than Love Knows No Race."

* [[Orwellian Retcon]]: While usually against changes in her published [[MST|MSTs]] when a mistake is pointed out, in the [[MST]] of Chapter 7 of Teen Fortress 2 [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] actually did that.

** As a general rule, if the mistake is a minor one it's [[Orwellian Retcon|corrected]]. If the mistake was a bigger part of the [[MST]] a note is added.

* [[Reference Overdosed]]: Basically every post is like this, but particularly the [[MST|MSTs]] of "Grazie the Beautiful New Girl" and "Half Irkens" due to [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] playing through both [[Portal (Video Game)|Portal]] and [[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]] at the time.

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: In response to comments by [[Its My Life (Fanfic)|MarissaTheWriter]]:

* [[Symbol Swearing]]: For a while, but then [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] gave up; mainly because the [[Fanfic|FanFics]] she was [[MST|MSTing]] tended to use more language/mature content ([[My Immortal]], for example), and thus the posts were going to be [[NSFW]] anyway.

* [[This Is Sparta]]: Used when the [[Catch Phrase]] "It. Sporks. Itself." is present, and many other times as well.

* [[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 [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].

** 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 #?".

** {{spoiler|Though, Zim/Dib is actually incest (in the fic, as they're twins), [[Ho Yay]] (complete with [[M Preg]]) ''and'' [[Foe Yay]] (in the canon) ''in one place''.}}

*** {{spoiler|If Dib wasn't Irken all along, it would have been [[Interspecies Romance]] as well.}}

* [[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 (Fanfic)|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.]

** Recently Invader Cakez removed the Grazie saga ''because'' Skepkitty MSTed it.

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: [[This Is Sparta|All. The. Time.]] (From Half Irkens)

{{quote| '''''Then we started our normal Saturday retain (a/n I suck at spelling).'''''}}

** (From Grazie the Beautiful New Girl)

{{quote| Allow me to rant here: you should never base a character on yourself. It just sets you up for viewing the character as you, rather than as a tool with which to write a story, and then you become attached and don’t want to make anything bad happen to the character because that’s ''you'', and you also don’t want to show the character’s bad side because you’d like to present yourself in the best light, and before you know it you’ve turned your character into a [[Mary Sue|Sue.]]}}

 

== Other Blog Tropes ==

** Though really, all these two have in common are the name and the author.

{{quote| Be warned: the site’s title may be “the (other) half-world”, but it’s quite a bit different from this half-world, and if you follow me you’ll have to put up with a lot of [[Fan Girl]] behavior.}}
