I got so fed up with it that I just deleted the thing. Besides, I don't like posting up fics or MSTies that aren't complete. I tried to shake things up by scattering wisecracks at random throughout the piece, but in the end all I wound up with was huge chunks of text with the occasional line of snarkiness showing up. Even with the first encounter between Celebrian and the Goblin King, that was the case. I was leaving sections of text unaltered, thinking I'd get to them later...and ultimately realizing that I just don't have the stomach for stuff like this. There's not much humor value in repeated scenes of orgasmic fluid spraying out in fire hose quantities or in a woman repeatedly debasing herself over and over again, even fooling around with animals. I mean, it's one thing when a couple's role-playing. They're just goofing off, and that's not a problem for me. But the stuff in this fic...I couldn't take it anymore. So I just deleted it and gave up.

There were only a few lines in the MST that I thought were any good. Here's one of those few:

"To her [Celebrian's] horror, her nipples stood

HALDIR: And started doing jumping jacks!"

I did get in a funny bit early on with Celebrian's whore-names, as I had Gandalf throwing in random names for good measure: "Polka enthusiast. Elvis impersonator. Hairdresser. Failed plastic surgeon. Middle school math tutor. Warner Brothers publicist." But again, the fic kept repeating that gimmick over and over again, and I got to the point where I realized I couldn't keep up with it and make it funny. Most of the MST consisted to trying to turn every mention of the word "cock" into a rooster joke (it got real old, real fast) every mention of the word "bulb" into a household appliances joke (ditto), every mention of the word "pussy" into a cat joke (easy, but boring), and every mention of the word "shaft" into...well, a Shaft reference (that gag burned itself out after the first couple of Roundtree/Jackson jokes) Believe me, you ain't missing much.

I'll have to see about getting my other MSTies posted up online. THOSE turned out pretty funny, I think. "Celebrian"...there was just no way I could turn out a parody I could be proud of.
