The Half-World: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

The Half-World is a blog primarily for [[Fanfic]] [[MST|MSTs]] run by [theskepkitty, aka Control Brain Lillias on Operation Head Pigeons. It comprises of awful [[Fanfic|fanfictions]] from fandoms such as ''[[Invader Zim]]'', ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'', ''[[Harry Potter]]'', and ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]''; as well as various other posts (some of which are [[MST|MSTs]] in their own right, though not of [[Fanfic|FanFics]]). The site, which was started in September 2010 but didn't post any [[MST|MSTs]] or attract much attention until early 2011, is quickly expanding and now has over 150 chapters of [[MST|MSTs]].
