History Blog / DasSporking

* NamesTheSame: Das Sporking has come across two sues named Rose Potter, from stories that are otherwise unrelated.

** A fic's thinking UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga and UsefulNotes/DateMasamune fought each other in the ''Edo'' period received a lengthy comment pointing out the blatant ArtisticLicenseHistory, which should have no place in the ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' fandom, that is capped off with…

* StrawmanHasAPoint: [[invoked]] In his sporking of ''Identities'', Master Ghandalf points out that despite Legolas' suspicion of Morwen/Rana being portrayed as a flaw with him, he's actually entirely justified in being suspicious, since he knows for a fact that she's an agent of the Enemy. It doesn't help that she spends more time whining about Legolas not trusting her than she does showing that she can be trusted, and she apparently doesn't fully turn against Sauron until after she gets caught in an explosion at the Battle of the Hornburg.

** Astra flipped her shit over the scene in ''Pawn of Prophecy'' where Polgara laughs upon realising that [[spoiler: Merel is pregnant by rape for the third time.]]

* Ki no Shirayuki's translation-sporking of the ''Nobunaga-sensei'' anime cast commentary is the first sporking of foreign language material whose translation is provided by the sporker themself.

* EveryoneHasStandards: All of he sporkers have their limits on what they will and won't spork. Usually it's because a work is unspeakably horrific (Mervin even added the "''Hogwarts Exposed'' line" to the comm rules, stating that anything that manages to [[UpToEleven be worse than that fanfiction]] is banned from being sporked there), although some sporkers refuse to do works on the grounds of them simply being ''boring'' (for example, this is why Mervin stopped sporking ''Child of Grace'' and ''Standing My Ground''). Mervin herself holds the comm at large to several ironclad rules, including certain types of fics that are ''not'' allowed, namelyl the aforementioned "squick-fics", troll fics (on the grounds that they basically spork themselves), things that run the risk of breaking the "no politics" rule (such as ''Literature/TheTurnerDiaries''), and real person fics. She also forbids making personal attacks/death threats towards the Suethors or their families. The only exception is Neil, who wrote the aforementioned ''Hogwarts Exposed'' and is hands-down the most hated Stuthor on the comm (though Creator/MarionZimmerBradley is quickly giving him a run for his money).

** If Ket Makura is eating food, it's generally rice. She and [=ZeldaQueen=] often end chapters of HushHush by going off for ice cream.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: In "Identities," MG points out that since [[SparedByTheAdaptation Boromir survived]], Denethor's actions and characterization (which were more or less copied from Peter Jackson's ''Return of the King'' adaptation) don't make any sense.

* TheManBehindTheMan: In [=RiffingAcademy=]'s sporking of ''Pretty Cure Perfume Preppy'', he makes reference a couple of times to an unnamed collaborator, whom he accuses of having [[EvilMentor suggested to the fourteen-year-old primary author]] to have included [[CorruptTheCutie several story elements that are not appropriate for children]]. Because the collaborator is never named, it is impossible to be certain, but [=RiffingAcademy=] has strong suspicions that the collaborator was a pedophile, and just using [[UnwittingPawn the Suethor]].

%%* ShipperOnDeck:
%%** Sporkers often make their preferred ships known throughout their sporkings, although not so much that the sporking becomes a [[AuthorFilibuster Sporker Filibuster]].
%%** ng55snarkings is particularly vehement about Sues that come between [[OfficialCouple Jack and Sally's]] relationship in WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas fanfics she sporks. It's hard not to see why, considering how badly written they were.

** Ki no Shirayuki ends her posts with ''waka'' poems except tables of contents.

* {{invoked}} InNameOnly: The crew considers ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' this.

* InsistentTerminology: Riffing Academy is a die-hard [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MSTie,]] and to that end calls his sporkings "riffings." [[CaptainObvious His username may have something to do with him sticking to it, too.]]

'''Mervin:''' '''[+OH, FUCK YOU!!!+]''' *slams down the phone furiously with a loud bang*

** Several of the sporkers, but azralibrarian stands out most. Her knowledge of Franchise/FinalFantasy is well shown during one of her sporks of a self-insert Dissidia fanfic. She also displays a good deal of knowledge of VideoGame/RuneScape during her sporking of a sloppy crossover fic.
** Nix has made a habit of sporking almost nothing but things from VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou.

** [[Main/ArtisticLicenseBiology Science]] [[Main/ArtisticLicenseChemistry failure]] [[Main/ArtisticLicensePharmacology sets]] [[Main/ArtisticLicensePhysics off]] Mrs. Hyde. The eight-pointed snowflake in ''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} Breaking Dawn]]'' was a pretty major one.

** [[Main/RomanticizedAbuse Romanticized Abuse]]--physical abuse, emotional abuse and/or rape--''enrages'' Gehayi. So does [[CriticalResearchFailure Critical Research Failure]].
** [[Main/MoralMyopia Callous]] [[Main/LackOfEmpathy disregard]] [[Main/AMillionIsAStatistic for]] [[Main/TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies human]] [[Main/TautologicalTemplar life]] will make Mervin [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Paul]] out. So will getting anything related to [[Main/ArtisticLicenseMedicine medicine]] wrong.

** In "Gekkou", it's pointed out that since the government recruited the saniwa and depends on them to lead the protection of history in ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' canon, their ''[[RonTheDeathEater actively harming the saniwa]]'' in the fic doesn't make any sense either.

** Ki no Shirayuki ends her posts with ''waka'' poems.

--> GEHAYI: I'm not going to say what it took to persuade the queen and princess of Arendelle except that it involved kittens, the Hubble Telescope, and Ket karaoke.

-->KET: And a really bad clam. *shudders*

* FixFic: A bit rarer than the RevengeFic, but still there when they feel the rare sympathetic character deserves something better. When the sporkers get tired of watching [[Literature/TheMistsOfAvalon Gwen]] being repeatedly tortured by the narrative, they wrote a new ending where all [[Series/DoctorWho thirteen Doctors]] rescue her and bring her to a hospital in the future, and that Gwen in the rest of the book is just Kamelion pretending to be her.
