| 11 | [[folder:Das_Mervin]] |
| 12 | ->"Yep. I, das_mervin, jumped on that particular bandwagon and started recapping and analyzing the ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' series. I had Twihards telling me it was great literature and I had Twihaters telling me it was not. So I decided to ''analyze'' it like great literature. The result is this epic, epic undertaking, [[{{Angrish}} wherein I talk way too much]]—[[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and I do mean way too much]]. [[WallOfText If you're looking for short and succinct analyses of this series]] [[SeriousBusiness that are nothing but comedy and fun-poking]]? Yeah. This one isn't for you." |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The founder of Das_Sporking, Mervin initially began sporking fanfiction self-inserts on her personal Livejournal. When she began giving the most in-depth analysis of ''Twilight'' possible though, she decided to host her sporkings at the newly-formed Das_Sporking comm for convenience. Her sporkings of the series are the longest-running and arguably the biggest draw to the comm. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * AccentuateTheNegative: While Mervin does point out what she thinks ''does'' work in the things she sporks (or else how things in the works ''could'' have worked), she is very good at pointing out nasty elements that often are overlooked or ignored. This often leads to FridgeHorror for the readers, after it's been brought to their attention. |
| 17 | * AlterEgoActing: Does this with [[Film/OnceUponATimeInMexico Sands]]. |
| 18 | * {{Angrish}}: Quite a few times. |
| 19 | * AngstNuke: Her favorite form of stress-relief is to "Paul out" (in which she posts a picture of Paul, from ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', as he breaks out of a house). If that isn't enough, she'll resort to posting pictures (or even videos) of nuclear explosions. |
| 20 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: Despite ragging on fictional protagonists like Bella for being superficial, she's been distracted, deliberately or otherwise, by her fair share of pecs, abs, and buns before... But she isn't disguising it as A Wuv Oh So Twue And More Speshul Than Yours. |
| 21 | * AtomicFBomb: Whenever she's enraged. |
| 22 | * BerserkButton: |
| 23 | ** Her pet peeve in any medium of fiction is [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality a protagonist who can do no wrong because they're the hero]]. |
| 24 | ** The [[HumansAreBastards disregard or belittlement of humanity]] really sets her off. |
| 25 | ** Incredibly notable instances of research failure are another button. |
| 26 | ** DomesticAbuse, especially involving emotional manipulation, also seriously angers her. |
| 27 | ** Outside of the sporkings, Mervin only truly gets angry when someone breaks any of the comm rules, especially the one to not link sporkings to the authors of the original work. |
| 28 | *** Similarly, after beginning ''Breaking Dawn'', Mervin placed a strict ban on talking about/bashing {{UsefulNotes/Mormonism}} (Creator/StephenieMeyer's religion) in the comments, as she felt it was inappropriate to drag religion into the sporkings and blame it for the ''Twilight'' series's many issues (in fact, when the discussion of Stephenie Meyer having children came up, she's even said "If anybody here starts throwing around accusations that she was forced or pressured into it by Mormonism, I'll kick your ass.") |
| 29 | ** As she and her sister Mrs. Hyde are Catholics, they ''really'' don't appreciate the anti-Catholic undertones some of the ''Twilight'' series has (especially regarding the Vatican—er, the Volturi). |
| 30 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
| 31 | * EveryoneHasStandards: One of Mervin's rules for the comm is to not wish [[CruelAndUnusualDeath violent deaths]] upon suethors. The one exception to this rule is Neil, who... let's just say wrote a fic that appears to have been targeted at child molesters. |
| 32 | * FlatWhat: Her response to the mention of a "glowering sky" in her sporking of ''Twilight'' Chapter 6. |
| 33 | * GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: In several chapters of the ''Twilight'' sporking, she has used "Meyer Goggles" to let her see the story from Meyer's perspective. They got to be so popular that she did an entire post on how readers would show up when viewed through those goggles, in accordance to their race, gender, religious views, and sexuality. |
| 34 | * GratuitousGerman: Like the comm itself. |
| 35 | ** SpellMyNameWithAThe. |
| 36 | %%* HairTriggerTemper |
| 37 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: She often resorts to this, including one instance where she downs orange juice and vodka to make it through a sporking. The chapter gets so bad that she puts less and less orange juice in, until she's adding it in with an eye dropper and otherwise just drinking the vodka straight. |
| 38 | * KindheartedCatLover: Sometimes features her cats in her various sporkings and as a background picture for her video series, "Mervin Reads." |
| 39 | * MugglesDoItBetter: One of her favorite things with the ''Twilight'' spork is to point out how the vampires do things that are far more illogical or stupid than what a human would do (for example, standing perfectly still all night when they know danger is on the way and it's best to prepare). |
| 40 | * ServileSnarker: Her sporkers tend to not like being forcibly dragged in to help out, so they are fine with making jokes at her expense. |
| 41 | * SiblingRivalry: With Mrs. Hyde. Often played up for laughs. |
| 42 | * SitcomArchnemesis: She has something of this dynamic with Hyde. The two constantly fight, and she often resorts to kidnapping Hyde to make her help co-spork. |
| 43 | * ShownTheirWork: Very much so. Mervin is willing to halt her sporkings to go on long rants about how something written is scientifically or logically impossible. To do that, she digs up quite a lot of information on a variety of topics, including cliff diving, how to legally own a motorcycle, the Catholic saints, what goes on in a woman's body during pregnancy, and vampire folklore. |
| 44 | * SnarkToSnarkCombat: This is usually the result whenever Mervin has a co-sporker, especially when it's Sands, Mrs. Hyde, or Ket Makura. |
| 45 | * WallOfText: The unfortunate side effect of Mervin [[ShownTheirWork Showing Their Work]] is that her posts can get ''long''. |
| 46 | [[/folder]] |
| 47 | |
| 48 | [[folder:Mrs. Hyde]] |
| 49 | ->"[[Literature/Twilight2005 Twilight]] [[StalkingIsLove may have disgusted me]], Literature/NewMoon [[SpurnedIntoSuicide may have broken me]], [[Literature/Eclipse2007 Eclipse]] [[DateRape may have appalled me]], and Literature/BreakingDawn [[WishFulfillment may have left me shaking my head in numb disbelief]]—but Midnight Sun [[TheSociopath is just freakin' scary]], and it's [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident really]], [[MurderIsTheBestSolution really]] [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide bad]]. And, well, [[BreakTheHaughty it needs to be ripped]]. [[TakeUpMySword And if Mervin won't do it, I guess it falls to me]]." |
| 50 | Mrs. Hyde is Mervin's older sister and the silent partner of Das_Sporking. She has no account of her own, instead choosing to post under Das_Mervin's username. She is best known for sporking ''Fanfic/TheArianaBlackSeries'' and ''Literature/MidnightSun2020''. |
| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * AccentuateTheNegative: As with the other Sporkers, Mrs. Hyde makes sure to point out any FridgeHorror that's present in a work. She had a field day with this during her sporking of ''Midnight Sun'', where many of Edward's [[TheSociopath less]] [[StalkingIsLove desirable]] [[FetishizedAbuser traits]] were placed front and center. |
| 53 | * AlterEgoActing: Does this with [[Franchise/HarryPotter Snape]]. |
| 54 | * BerserkButton: Hyde absolutely ''loses'' it whenever a blatant scientific inaccuracy shows up. The most infamous example happens during ''Literature/BreakingDawn'', when [[TheScrappy Renesmee]] catches an [[ArtisticLicensePhysics eight-pointed snowflake.]][[note]]For all non-chemistry students: Snowflakes are always six-pointed because of the structure of water molecules and how they interact with each other. For snowflakes to be eight-pointed, water's structure would have to change dramatically, which would have drastic implications for the existence of life.[[/note]] |
| 55 | * NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Mervin actually has to state in her FAQ that Mrs. Hyde is a real person, and not just another persona. |
| 56 | * SiblingRivalry: With Mervin. Often played up for laughs. |
| 57 | * SitcomArchnemesis: She has something of this dynamic with Mervin. The two constantly fight, and Mervin often resorts to kidnapping Hyde to make her help co-spork. |

| 59 | |
| 60 | [[folder:Gehayi]] |
| 61 | ->"I'm an oddball in that I will tell the author that X is not acceptable and that [[ImAManICantHelpIt we]] [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization don't]] [[QuestionableConsent want]] [[RapePortrayedAsRedemption to]] [[MaritalRapeLicense send]] [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale the]] [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale message]] [[DoubleStandardRapeSciFi that]] [[GratuitousRape rape]] and [[StalkingIsLove stalking are signs of love]]... This kind of drivel, which, fortunately, is not the only thing written in the genre but is far too common, causes damage... It is [[DoubleStandard a vile, contemptible, anti-woman message]] and the fact that this piece of shit, like most romance novels, was written by a woman just makes the message that much worse." |
| 62 | |
| 63 | Gehayi is a freelance editor who has edited a number of romance novels (with a heavy emphasis on male/male historical romance), kid lit, young adult novels, and anthologies. She takes badfic, especially published badfic, ''very'' seriously. She has co-sporked the ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' trilogy with Ket Makura. |
| 64 | ---- |
| 65 | * AccentuateTheNegative: Will go into vast detail about why a scene, a character or an attitude is problematic. |
| 66 | * BerserkButton: When authors don't bother to do the research—especially if the correct information is easy to find—Gehayi becomes coldly furious. RomanticizedAbuse—physical abuse, emotional abuse and/or rape—''enrages'' her. |
| 67 | * ClusterFBomb: Both fulfilled and averted, as she alternates between swearing a great deal when angry and exploding into non-profane insults ("brain-dead troglodyte" is a favorite). |
| 68 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: One may wonder why publishing houses don’t hire sporkers as editors if they are so good at pointing out the flaws of manuscripts. Well, Gehayi actually ''is'' a professional editor. Not that she can do anything about bad stories published by other companies, though. |
| 69 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
| 70 | * HandicappedBadass: Gehayi is open about being mobility-limited. It sure doesn't stop her from absolutely destroying poorly written and researched work. |
| 71 | ** It also didn't stop her from breaking an abusive boyfriend's arm with an iron skillet. Bad. Ass. |
| 72 | * HateFic and RevengeFic: Has written a number of these for ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' and one for ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' and has posted them in the comments for Mervin's recaps and on Twi Spite Fic. |
| 73 | * ImprovisedWeapon: Her walker, with which she sometimes threatens to hit characters that anger her with their stupidity or callousness. |
| 74 | * LanguageEqualsThought: This is basically her motive for sporking. Bad messages in fics and books enrage her because they can and often do shape the way that people think for years to come. |
| 75 | * PreviouslyOn: Most posts of the ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' sporking open with her briefly recapping what happened last time. This started because posting was initially somewhat irregular, but has now become a custom. |
| 76 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Frequently points out how the fictional situation would work out (or fail to work out) if the fic or book obeyed the rules of reality... and, often, the rules of the fic's or book's own universe as well. She's particularly harsh if the fic or book is supposed to be set in a modern-day or historically accurate version of our world. |
| 77 | * ShoutOut: She's prone to drop allusions, especially to books, webcomics and web originals. Among things she's alluded to—Franchise/HarryPotter, [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]], Shakespeare, Webcomic/SomethingPositive, [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]], [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle Kallgren]], and [[WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou Nash Bozard]]. |
| 78 | * ShownTheirWork: Definitely. Gehayi is adamant about research and will check every detail of a story. This has including checking federal and state laws on stalking (and its penalties), the dates that songs were composed, rules governing concealed-carry permits in the state of Washington, the battles fought in Texas during the American Civil War, whether or not a particular medicine is legal/available in America, what a heads of agreement is in the realm of business, how a corporation is constructed, and so on. And yes, she researches manuscripts that she's editing professionally just as thoroughly. |
| 79 | * SpecialGuest: She's been known to bring in [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry Dresden and Thomas Raith]] to spork with Ket. |
| 80 | * StraightManAndWiseGuy: Straight man to Ket's wise guy/DeadpanSnarker. |
| 81 | * WallOfText: As with Mervin, a side effect of [[ShownTheirWork showing her work]]. Gehayi's sporks with Ket tend to run ''very'' close to Platform/LiveJournal's posting limit. |
| 82 | [[/folder]] |
| 83 | |
| 84 | [[folder:Zelda Queen]] |
| 85 | ->"Thankfully this time is over though, so let's go about the rest of the day and take what we can from it. [[SpaceWhaleAesop Namely that it's great fun to have sex with your own shadow, but please be sure to at least lower the window blinds before doing so.]]" |
| 86 | |
| 87 | Zelda Queen is a longtime member of Das Sporking. She sporks mostly in the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fandom, though she also sporks for ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' fandom, along with whatever else she's currently interested in. She also sporks at her own blog, where she sporks both fanfic and published fiction, such as ''Literature/HushHush'' and ''Fanfic/MyInnerLife''. |
| 88 | ---- |
| 89 | * AuthorAppeal: Occasionally has her favorite characters come in to co-spork. Sometimes, to de-stress everyone, she'll also include [[RelaxOVision pictures of actors and actresses she finds attractive]]. |
| 90 | * {{Angrish}}: Has resorted to this more than once, owing to how terrible the thing she's sporking is. |
| 91 | * AscendedFanboy: Was an avid follower of Mervin's sporkings, before becoming a sporking on the comm. In fact, she became a sporker in the first place to pass the time until the ''Breaking Dawn'' sporking was released. |
| 92 | * BerserkButton: She ''really'' doesn't like it when canon characters are [[CharacterDerailment derailed]] [[RonTheDeathEater because the writer doesn't like them]] or [[DracoInLeatherPants to make bad characters appear better]]. When sporking one ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' fanfic, she brought it to a halt and gave a long rant about why she hates that tactic so much, before being forced to recapping instead of flat-out sporking, to deal with the amount of character-bashing. |
| 93 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
| 94 | * DeconstructedTrope: Often laments how something in a fic normally would go ''very'' differently if reality or canon were to intervene. |
| 95 | * GamerChick: An avid fan of the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series, along with many other Nintendo titles (including the one that's [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda in her username]]). |
| 96 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Often, though usually of the [[DrunkOnMilk two percent or whole milk variety]]. |
| 97 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Raxis |
| 98 | * SailorEarth: During the ''Sailor Rainbow'' sporking, she and Midoriri made Sailor Senshi versions of themselves. She also came up with a variation of the theme song for them. |
| 99 | * TakeUpMySword: Took on the ''Fanfic/ChildOfGrace'' sporking when Das Mervin gave up on it. |
| 100 | * UnusualEuphemism: "JULY AND CHRISTMAS!" |
| 101 | * WallOfText: Used occasionally, to really pick apart how bad something is in a fic. For instance, she briefly halted the ''Sailor Rainbow'' sporking to discuss why Lydia utterly fails as the heroic {{tsundere}} type she was apparently meant to be. |
| 102 | |
| 103 | [[/folder]] |
| 104 | |
| 105 | [[folder:Ket Makura]] |
| 106 | ->"I'm not letting you do this alone. This series is [[SadlyMythtaken full of religion fail]], and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown I aim to rip it apart]]. [[BerserkButton I am personally offended]], and I demand satisfaction. [[ShownTheirWork I have done research]]!" |
| 107 | Ket began by co-sporking short fics with Mervin, but now she is best known for co-sporking the ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' trilogy with Gehayi. |
| 108 | ---- |
| 109 | * AngstNuke: Ket tends to explode. A lot. Especially when reading ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey''. |
| 110 | * BerserkButton: When [[Literature/FiftyShadesofGrey E.L. James]] gets BDSM or issues of consent wrong. |
| 111 | ** In fact, her rage has caused the creation of a new word in the comm—"Ketsplode". Even her most commonly used icon is a testament to this. |
| 112 | ** Child abuse and statutory rape issues also anger her. |
| 113 | ** Poorly researching, or blatantly getting wrong, things about religion. |
| 114 | * BrainsAndBondage: Very open about the fact that she's a part of the BDSM community. She also demonstrates education about religion, especially concerning angels, a good working knowledge about medicine and medical terms, and a love for classical poetry. |
| 115 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
| 116 | * DoNotTauntCthulhu: Mouthed off to Loki. It didn't end well for her. |
| 117 | * EthicalSlut: She is often very open about her sexual escapades but will not tolerate abuse, harassment, or rape. |
| 118 | * GamerChick: Ket loves her video games. She often begins playing them while sporking on the grounds that the game has a much more interesting story. |
| 119 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Frequently. She has a fondness for mixed drinks that include vodka and that have embarrassing names. |
| 120 | * ImprovisedWeapon: |
| 121 | -->"I'm afraid we're going to have to fight to the death now." *draws spatula* |
| 122 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Generally loud, bombastic, and full of swearing, when she's truly upset will become quiet, cold, and sometimes cry. |
| 123 | * PropertyOfLove. Type C. Whenever she talks about her unnamed Owner, it's clear she deeply respects and cares about him. |
| 124 | * SnarkToSnarkCombat: Whenever she co-sporks with Mervin, like their sporking of "Hatched is the Righteous Child." |
| 125 | * {{Sidekick}}: Self-named. As she put it to Loki: "Gehayi does all the work. I'm just the dancing monkey." |
| 126 | * SirSwearsalot: Drops the f-bomb a lot more than Gehayi. |
| 127 | * SpecialGuest: She's brought Marvelverse Thor in to spork, and Leila from the 50 Shades universe. |
| 128 | * StraightManAndWiseGuy: The wise guy to Gehayi's straight man. |
| 129 | * SuperWindowJump: Ket commonly threatens to jump out of the Sporking Room's window when she has had all that she can take of the 50 Shades universe. Unfortunately for her, the Sporking Room is on the first floor. (For non-Americans, that would be the ''ground'' floor.) |
| 130 | * TantrumThrowing: When angry, she will throw her spatula, fling chairs, and flip tables. |
| 131 | * TheTease: With few exceptions, Ket flirts with every guest sporker, and frequently with Mervin as well. It's played for laughs. |
| 132 | * ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Will occasionally burst into a song in response to the plot. She calls it "Ket Karaoke". |
| 133 | [[/folder]] |
| 134 | |
| 135 | [[folder:Anisporker]] |
| 136 | As the name suggests, Anisporker's sporkings mostly consist of bad anime fan fiction, though certainly not limited to. While having a similar kind of snark and analytic prowess of other sporkers, he also has a seemingly endless pool of references, some more obscure then others. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * BerserkButton: Can be summed up as a gross mischaracterization or bad portrayal of groups of people. This has included rape victims, bisexuals, homosexuals, people who cut themselves, autistics, etc. |
| 139 | * DeadpanSnarker: If he's not explaining why something sucks, he's being this non stop. |
| 140 | * PrecisionFStrike: Not averse to dropping an F bomb, to say the least. |
| 141 | * ProtagonistCenteredMorality: What all the major works he's sporked suffer from. |
| 142 | * SelfDeprecation: He'll take a jab at himself every now and then. His OC and co sporker, Saya Cardolon, can be especially nasty to him. |
| 143 | * ShoutOut: Sporkings are littered with them. Just to name a few: the living dead trilogy, WWE, Hegel, Kierekegaard, Carmilla, Clockwork Orange, Derrida, Shakespeare, Dostovesky, etc. |
| 144 | %%* SpecialGuest: Saya. |
| 145 | * AVerySpecialEpisode: He did a non anime spork on a 3 chapter Carmilla fanfic, that included an intro of why he loved the original story so much. |
| 146 | * WallOfText: Is not averse to these, sometimes categorizing his points by letters. |
| 147 | |
| 148 | [[/folder]] |
| 149 | |
| 150 | [[folder:Astra_Aurora]] |
| 151 | -> "Here's one undeniable fact: my hatred for this series was not born from just reading it. [[WeUsedToBeFriends It was born from love.]] [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids I]] ''[[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids loved]]'' [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids this series when I was a kid.]] [[{{Fan}} I devoured the books and read them over and over again.

| 152 | |
| 153 | A former [[WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum Protector of the Plot Continuum]], Astra joined the community in 2014 and has been working on a spork of ''Literature/TheBelgariad''. In 2017, she put the ''Belgariad'' spork on hold, having finished ''Magician's Gambit'', and instead began sporking [[FormulaBreakingEpisode Amy Ewing's YA novel]] ''The Jewel''. As of 2020, she's working on ''[[Literature/TheSelection The Elite]]'', Britta Lundin's ''Ship It'', and intends to follow them with ''Literature/ReadyPlayerTwo''. |
| 154 | ---- |
| 155 | * {{Anvilicious}}: Invoked literally; occasionally something extremely obvious happening in the books will result in an anvil nearly crushing Astra and Aurora. |
| 156 | * BerserkButton: Quite a few, but mainly ProtagonistCenteredMorality, bad parenting and emotional abuse/manipulation. |
| 157 | * BrainBleach: Threw herself into a swimming pool after reading a line that (probably) unintentionally invoked pedophilia. |
| 158 | %%* BrokenPedestal: See the above quote. |
| 159 | * CatchPhrase: "Are they ''trying'' to kill him?" in the ''Pawn of Prophecy'' spork referring to Garion and all the times when his guardians put him in a situation where he could get hurt or killed by accident. |
| 160 | ** Aurora has "I have a question". |
| 161 | ** Before something horrible happens: "Get ready to get angry". |
| 162 | ** Whenever someone brings up the Dryads: "I hate those ''bitches.''" |
| 163 | ** Regarding Polgara and Belgarath's habit of withholding information from Garion: "How would he know? ''You never told him!"'' |
| 164 | ** Astra has a habit of calling the protagonist of ''The Jewel'' a dumb bitch whenever she does anything particularly stupid. |
| 165 | %%* ClusterFBomb |
| 166 | * {{Doppelganger}}: Another Astra (who was subsequently dubbed 'Aurora') turned up to help spork the blurbs of ''Pawn of Prophecy'', since Astra was extremely drunk. It's not known what she is or where she came from. She joined Astra permanently to spork the remaining books. |
| 167 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Aurora's first appearance in the ''Pawn of Prophecy'' blurb had her being much more aggressive and swearing, unlike her parts in subsequent sporks. |
| 168 | * InsistentTerminology: Aurora is not a clone, a twin or anything along those lines, she is Astra. |
| 169 | * LadySwearsALot: Astra. However, Aurora [[InvertedTrope doesn't swear at all]], to the point that when she sporked by herself for a chapter, she removed the cursing in the name of one of the counts. |
| 170 | %%* LandDownUnder |
| 171 | %%* RedOniBlueOni: Astra is the red to Aurora's blue. |
| 172 | * ShoutOut: Quite a few, but she references ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'' a lot, and she ''loves'' wrestling. |
| 173 | %%* TheSnarkKnight |
| 174 | * StellarName: "Astra" means "stars" in Latin. |
| 175 | * WaxingLyrical: Most of the names of her spork chapters are slightly-altered song lyrics (mostly in the ''Pawn of Prophecy'' spork). |

| 183 | ---- |
| 184 | * AlterEgoActing: Has brought in a variety of guest sporkers. |

| 186 | %%* ColorCodedForYourConvenience |
| 187 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
| 188 | * FloweryElizabethanEnglish: Not a full out example, but her writing can carry this kind of tone compared to other sporkers. [[UnstoppableRage Unless something really makes her mad]] |

| 190 | %%* GamerChick: As her chosen fandoms certainly indicate. |
| 191 | * OhMyGods: "Primus" is usually her expletive of choice. She also uses "slag" or "slagging" rather frequently. |
| 192 | ** "Unicron's black blood!" |
| 193 | ** She switched to "Zaros" when sporking ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' fic. |

| 198 | * ShoutOut: Her username and picture are this to [[VideoGame/DefendersQuest Defenders Quest.]] |

| 226 | [[folder:Esme-Amelia]] |
| 227 | A 2014 sporker, Esme's primary fandom is ''Franchise/StarWars''. She started by sporking FixFic Early Redemption, and is currently sporking the ''WebOriginal/GrowingAround'' novel and the ExpandedUniverse novel ''Literature/TheCourtshipOfPrincessLeia''. |
| 228 | ---- |
| 229 | * AlterEgoActing: Primarily sporks with [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo]]. Has also brought in [[Franchise/StarWars Kylo Ren]] and [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Shayera Hol]]. |
| 230 | * BerserkButton: Bad grammar, especially ignoring abuse, and messing with [[OneTruePairing Han and Leia]]. |
| 231 | * FridgeHorror: [=QueenNaberrie=]'s devotion to TheStationsOfTheCanon / InSpiteOfANail means her main characters are effectively responsible for the [[NiceJobBreakingItHero rise of the Galactic Empire]]. |
| 232 | * RunningGag: The doors in Early Redemption are plotting to take over the story / are the actual main characters. |
| 233 | ** Creator/StephenieMeyer was inspired by The Courtship of Princess Leia |
| 234 | * ShownTheirWork: She's an English major, which she brings up a fair bit. |

| 237 | [[folder:Ianxfalcon]] |
| 238 | A Swedish sporker who joined in 2013, with a habit of taking long and infamous fanfics. Is probably best known for "The Real Us", a [[Literature/HarryPotter Harmonian]] FixFic that ended up being a year-long spork. Currently sporking ''Literature/TheSwordOfTruth''. |
| 239 | ---- |
| 240 | * AbortedArc: Gave up on sporking "A Consulting Detective's Babysitter" when she decided her own sporking wasn't up to her standards. |
| 241 | * AlterEgoActing: With a fair few WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck villains |
| 242 | * BerserkButton: Callousness and cruelty, especially from [[DesignatedHero supposed]] protagonists, really get her hackles up |
| 243 | * BrainBleach: Much of ''The Real Us'' involves a ToyShip...that actually involves a physical relationship. Needless to say, she's not happy. |
| 244 | * CatchPhrase / RunningGag: A poster saying "Ever Been So Mad, You Flipped a [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek]]?" is used to signify when ian's BerserkButton is pressed |
| 245 | * RonTheDeathEater {{invoked}}: Finds this irritating, and always relishes when she gets to point out when the "Ron" in question is really a DesignatedAntagonist. |

| 248 | [[folder:IllyriasAcolyte]] |
| 249 | A classic, 2011 sporker. Helped [=ZeldaQueen=] spork the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' fics of Link's Queen, and sporked a fair few ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' fics shipping [[CrackPairing Jasmine and Jafar]] |
| 250 | ---- |
| 251 | * BerserkButton: The RandomEventsPlot of [=Jasminejafarforever2005=]]'s fics gets on his nerves. |
| 252 | ** As does one of her fics using a poorly-depicted eating disorder as [[RuleOfdrama cheap drama]]. |
| 253 | * RunningGag: Sporking jjf2005's fics using just quotes from ''My Inner Life'' due to all their similarities. |
| 254 | [[/folder]] |
| 255 | |
| 256 | [[folder:Man Called True]] |
| 257 | ->"I know I say this a lot, but fuck this story." |
| 258 | A commentator who jumped on the bandwagon very quickly after the site opened up to multiple sporkers. An anime fan and brony whose main project was ''Fanfic/FrigidWindsAndBurningHearts'' until he suffered a USB drive failure. |
| 259 | ---- |
| 260 | * BerserkButton: |
| 261 | ** Hypocrisy gets right under his nails. |
| 262 | ** It hasn't shown up much, but he can't stand HumansAreTheRealMonsters, either. |
| 263 | ** In order to avoid causing trouble, he stays out of the ''Belgariad'' sporkings—David Eddings is the reason he became a writer, and he refuses to see it defiled. |
| 264 | * DeadpanSnarker: He's a self-admitted raving ball of cynicism. |
| 265 | * GrammarNazi: He named one of his counts "Betas Are Not Optional" for a reason. |
| 266 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Lemonade, both hard and soft. |
| 267 | * MinnesotaNice: Averted; he's from Lakeville, Minnesota (about half an hour from the Twin Cities), and he's full of spite and anger. |
| 268 | * OhMyGods: Tends to curse by somewhat unorthodox standards; among others, he's invoked Celestia, Discord, and [[Literature/TheBelgariad Torak]]. |
| 269 | * SirSwearsALot: Even by the comm's standards, he's a little vulgar. |
| 270 | * SpecialGuest: His beta reader, Blade, took over for Chapter 5 of ''FWABH'' (with interjections from MCT). |
| 271 | ** On his own blog, he's had [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII the Emperor]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Golbez]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Laguna]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Auron]], and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII Balthier]] co-commentate with him. During his first sporking on DS, ''Huntress'', he dragged in [[Anime/{{Bleach}} Urahara, Yoruichi]], and Elvis. |

| 274 | [[folder:Midoriri]] |
| 275 | ->"It's also a MagicalGirl series, and we all know what that means: [[MagicalGirlWarrior cute girls kicking ass and taking names,]] [[ThePowerOfLove promoting friendship and love,]] [[DefeatMeansFriendship showing compassion to their enemies,]] [[FrillsOfJustice and all while wearing frilly ruffled dresses.]]" |
| 276 | Midoriri joined the site when it first opened up to multiple sporkers, her first spork being a ''WesternAnimation/{{Nine}}'' Suefic. Since then, she usually sporks Disney fics (namely ones for the Disney Princess canons) and MagicalGirl anime. |
| 277 | ---- |
| 278 | * AffectionateNickname: Calls Riyna_chan "Ri," so far the only one to do so. She also calls Zelda Queen "[=ZQ=]." |
| 279 | * AscendedFanboy: Technically, fangirl, but same principle. She followed Das-Sporking for quite some time before joining, and was also a fan of Zelda Queen's snarks before the two joined forces for ''Sailor Rainbow.'' When Zelda Queen proposed they spork it together, Midoriri actually called it "a dream come true." |
| 280 | * BerserkButton: Racism and victim-blaming are good ways to get to her. She's also set off by blatant hatred/mis-characterization of canons, misogyny, domestic violence and female characters getting bashed just for being girly. |
| 281 | -->''"Lydia? *raises her glittery manicured nails* "Piss on being a girly-girl again and I'll claw your [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] eyes out."'' |
| 282 | * BrainBleach: Sometimes says she needs this, in the form of ''good'' entertainment. |
| 283 | * CallingYourAttacks: Being a MagicalGirl fan, she does quite a bit. |
| 284 | -->''"Magical Fuck-Off Beam!"'' |
| 285 | %%* ClusterFBomb: A sure sign her BerserkButton has been pressed. |
| 286 | * CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: She tends to make threats like these when she's ''really'' mad at the Sue or Stu. |
| 287 | * FanGirl: Unapologetically one for magical girls and Disney Princesses, especially Belle. In fact, the mischaracterization of Belle in one spork pushed a particular-large BerserkButton. |
| 288 | %%* FreudianThreat: She gives Stus a lot of these. |
| 289 | * GirlyGirl: Admits to being one in a few sporks and comments. |
| 290 | %%* HairTriggerTemper |
| 291 | * HeartwarmingInHindsight: Riyna and Midoriri were not dating while sporking their first fic, no matter how close they appeared to be, and it just makes it cuter when you really think about it. |
| 292 | %%* MagicalGirlWarrior |
| 293 | * MustHaveCaffeine: Sometimes combined with INeedAFreakingDrink; Midoriri frequently drinks coffee during her sporks. |
| 294 | %%* OfficialCouple: With Riyna_chan. |
| 295 | %%* PungeonMaster: She is one. |
| 296 | * SailorEarth: She and Zelda Queen made Sailor Senshi versions of themselves during the ''Sailor Rainbow'' spork. |
| 297 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At one point in the ''Sailor Rainbow'' sporkings, she ate a coma-brownie to get away from a particularly-bad chapter. In a subversion/downplayed example, she leaves the room to use the bathroom or order pizza in the middle of sporking ''boring'' scenes. |
| 298 | * ShoutOut: Sometimes names other series/movies she likes in her sporks, either as comparison points or to say she [[BrainBleach needs to watch something ]]''[[BrainBleach good]]'' [[BrainBleach after a bad spork.]] |
| 299 | ** The blue and green Sporking Cure colors used by herself (blue) and Riyna (green) for the Smile sporking are a nod to the popular Nao/Reika pairing in Smile Precure. [[spoiler:This is on purpose, as it was meant to be a subtle nod that yes, they are together.]] |

| 305 | [[folder:mirandagaara]] |
| 306 | Mirandagaara first joined the site after her former sporking site, deleterius, closed down. Along with other likeminded individuals, she joined up. As she was currently sporking a putrid fic from now defunct site Quizilla, she posted her sporking as her first one on the site. Mirandagaara's preferred fandoms are ''Lord Of The Rings'' and ''Harry Potter. She's English, not British, by the way. |
| 307 | ---- |
| 308 | * AlterEgoActing: Generally sporks as her own original characters, though she has sporked as herself at times. |
| 309 | * BerserkButton: Bad grammar/spelling, and abuse of the established canon. |
| 310 | %%* DeadpanSnarker: |
| 311 | * FanGirl: Of ''Lord Of The Rings'', ever since she read the books at the age of eight. Also ''Harry Potter'' and ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic''. Her avatars often reflect this. |
| 312 | * KarmicDeath: Mirandagaara's vampire character Jill often arranges this for self-inserts. It usually entails a visit to Mount Doom. |

| 317 | Joined in 2014. Primary fandoms include ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Literature/HarryPotter'', with a particular focus on [[JerkSue jerk stus]], [[GodModeSue god mode stus]] and [[RelationshipSue relationship sues]]. Recently completed sporks of the infamous ''Fanfic/PartiallyKissedHero'' and [[Literature/TheGloveOfDarthVader the Jedi Prince novel series]] and recently began a spork of ''[[Literature/ChroniclesOfBloodAndStone The Fifth Sorceress]]''. |
| 318 | ---- |
| 319 | * AlterEgoActing: Sporking characters include their ''{{TabletopGame/Eberron}}'' {{Original Character}}s[[note]]from their fanfic ''Fanfic/GameOfTheAncients''[[/note]], [[Literature/HarryPotter Snape]], [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]] and [[Literature/{{Mistborn}} Vin]] |
| 320 | * BerserkButton: {{Jerk sue}}s, {{God mode sue}}s, {{Designated Hero}}es and canon violation |
| 321 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: The point of bringing Azula in to spork either poorly done {{Villain Protagonist}}s or {{Designated Hero}}es |
| 322 | * InWhichATropeIsDescribed: begins all their sporking entries with one. |

| 326 | ->"Well, here we are with Chapter 6. The Sue is still Sueish and now he have met the character with one of the most Mary-Sue-ish names I have EVER seen. Stephanie Crystal Muse." |
| 327 | Nix joined up a year or two before Mervin cracked the site open for everyone to join up. Her favorite fandoms seem to be ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' and ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', however she's recently begun sporking ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' fanfiction. She has long periods of hiatus and is known for having a lot of guest sporkers (who each have their own text color) in her sporkings. |
| 328 | ---- |
| 329 | * AlterEgoActing: Does this with the TWEWY cast a lot. |
| 330 | * AVerySpecialEpisode: Nix changed up her sporking style entirely in the final chapter of Be my Composer? |
| 331 | * BerserkButton: |
| 332 | ** Anytime one of the characters is made extremely out of character for the sake of a pairing. |
| 333 | ** Whenever characters have very expensive items just for the sake of having them. |
| 334 | * CallBack: She adores referencing her other sporkings. |

| 336 | %%* ColorCodedForYourConvenience |

| 339 | %%* GamerChick |
| 340 | * HateFic and RevengeFic: Has written one after being enraged by Bree Tanner. |
| 341 | * PowerupFullColorChange: At one point when something in a fanfiction makes Joshua angry enough, [[spoiler:he tunes up to his Composer Form]] and gets a color change as well. |
| 342 | * ServileSnarker: Some of the characters she brings in are not above snarking at her in retaliation for being dragged in and forced to read bad fanfiction of themselves. Particularly Joshua from VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou. |
| 343 | * ShownTheirWork: In her later sporking with Beacon, she asks an actual Japanese speaker about some nuisances in the language. |
| 344 | * SignatureStyle: Her use of colored font for sporker comments. Each sporker gets a different color. |
| 345 | * SpecialGuest: She's brought in several of her real life friends and the entire main cast Player cast from TWEWY. She has also been a guest sporker to Lian Hua's spork of the infamous Shinra SOLDIER fanfiction. |

| 351 | |
| 352 | [[folder:Ranguvar]] |
| 353 | In the past, Ranguvar sporked mostly in ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'' fic, but they have since branched out and sporked a ''Film/TheProphecy'' fic and a ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' crossover with ''Series/OnceUponATime''. |
| 354 | [[/folder]] |
| 355 | |
| 356 | [[folder:Raxistaicho]] |
| 357 | ->"Why's [[Literature/SwordArtOnline it]] so popular? Quite frankly, I believe it's because it shows signs of being Anime ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'', [[RecycledInSpace only it's geared towards men]]." |
| 358 | Raxistaicho holds similar interests to Riffing Academy, and leaped head-first into his sporking career by deciding to spork the entire ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'' light novel (which he never got around to due to real-life obligations). Has also sporked a harem ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' fanfic, and many magical girl crossovers with other sporkers. Retired. |
| 359 | ---- |
| 360 | * AffectionateNickname: "Queeny", for Zelda Queen. |
| 361 | * AngstNuke: Calling for Nanoha to launch a WaveMotionGun. |
| 362 | * AscendedFanboy: He initially became interested in sporking after reading Zelda Queen's work. |
| 363 | * AuthorAppeal: Is ''extremely'' fond of [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Nanoha Takamachi]]. His CatchPhrase for his Live Journal cuts in some of his works quote her intelligent device. Also fond of most anime and video games. |
| 364 | * BerserkButton: Sexism against women, avoiding research, arrogance and getting computers or video games wrong. |
| 365 | * CatchPhrase: "In which (quick summary of events)" became one for the intros to his chapters while sporking ''A Journey Through Light and Darkness Volume One''. |
| 366 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: While doing his first sporking before joining the community proper, he still actually ''liked'' ''Sword Art Online'', and used gifs of Kirito letting loose as an AngstNuke. |
| 367 | * GratuitousJapanese: His name means "Captain Raxis" in Japanese [[note]]Taicho is not an actual rank, but simply a title for the leader (cho) of a unit (tai)[[/note]]. |
| 368 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Is actually averse to this trope in its ordinary form, due to [[TheTeetotaler disliking casual alchohol consumption]]. Using a stand-in is his preference. |
| 369 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: When he learns that his sporking project is going to be a fanfiction he himself wrote, he refuses on the grounds that clearly any work of his is beyond criticism. The fic's protagonist shows up and whacks him over the head with her staff, at which point he forgets the fic is his and is very unimpressed by it. |
| 370 | %%* OhMyGods: Uses Morrigan for this. |
| 371 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Zelda Queen. The two often work together on sporking projects. |
| 372 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The snarkier and (generally) calmer of the pair, though Zelda Queen isn't far behind on saviness, nor is Raxistaicho a dour person. |
| 373 | * SignatureStyle: Due to being a computer science major, he models his negative point tallying system using pseudo computer science coding, and keeps track of the final results in a video game-esque high score model. |
| 374 | * TakeUpMySword: Continued a sporking of Concrete and Wolf after Riffing Academy gave up on it. |
| 375 | * TheTeetotaler: Because of a real-life example of the [[AlcoholicParent third reason]] listed on the page. |
| 376 | * WallOfText: Ordinarily averse to this trope, due to his preference for RapidFireComedy. Getting him to open up is a sign that you've done something ''wrong''. |
| 377 | [[/folder]] |
| 378 | |
| 379 | [[folder:Riffing Academy]] |
| 380 | ->"So, basically, saying this fic should be burned is [[ShoutOut an]] [[TabletopGame/{{FATAL}} insult]] [[InsultToRocks to fire.]]" |
| 381 | Riffing Academy was a fanfic author himself who was still very much a work in progress himself when he started doing sporkings. Originally he was devoted to a style which followed the format of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' in almost every respect, but since making entries in the community has since adopted a style more like that of the other members. [[{{Otaku}} He tends to stick to anime and video games with which he's familiar.]] |
| 382 | ---- |
| 383 | * AlterEgoActing: He does this in his latest sporkings, to the point of resembling ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' in having a bunch of put-upon characters of his own design show up to spork bad fiction as if it's a job. [[WordOfGod The idea is that]] [[RealLifeWritesThePlot he has lots of competing thoughts and conflicting ideas about what he reads, which comes off better as dialogue than a monologue.]] |
| 384 | * ArtifactTitle: Before he joined Das Sporking, he ran his own {{MST}}ings on his own blog which attempted to have the same structure as Mystery Science Theater 3000, except it was set up more like a school for hecklers than a science experiment. When he switched to writing in Das Sporking, he dropped the format but kept the name. |
| 385 | * ArtShift: Not on Das Sporking, but on his own blog. He was struggling with the format of [=LiveJournal=] at first, which meant he flip-flopped between using carots and blue text before he finally used bold to highlight his own remarks. |
| 386 | * AscendedFanboy: Sort of. Was driven to do sporkings because he loved ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' and reading {{MST}}ings rather than any deep experience with literature. |
| 387 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: Doesn't hesitate to discuss his own forays into writing in comment discussions. Consensus so far seems to say that as goofy as they are, they'd at least [[SoBadItsGood be a bit entertaining.]] |
| 388 | * AuthorAppeal: Normally he can be fickle and will just mention whatever piques his interest at the moment in his sporkings, but there are a few constants: |
| 389 | ** Engineering and technology, everything from cars to guns. If he can relate it to machinery or take text apart with the scientific method, he'll gladly do it. Highlights include declaring a story shouldn't have existed due to it failing to follow its internal logic. |
| 390 | ** ProfessionalWrestling. While his knowledge of it is spotty at best, [[{{Smark}} he enjoys the topic and uses lots of its lingo in his sporkings.]] This culminated in him calling one chapter [[CombatCommentator like it was a Pay-Per-View.]] |
| 391 | ** {{Magical girl}}s. Brought on by needing to recover from a particularly bad ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'' fanfic, now he's focusing on that quite often for his sporkings. Favorites are ''Card Captor Sakura'' and ''Anime/PrettyCure''. As of his Perfume Preppy sporking, he's using two of his own to riff current chapters. |
| 392 | * BerserkButton: He's not a very stable sporker. |
| 393 | ** Poor or no research riles him up, especially concerning weapons and tactics. If you can Google it, in his book, that means you should. |
| 394 | ** Upstaging canon characters is a huge no-no in his book. Being great in different ways is fine, but he sees upstaging as rendering the canon characters redundant. |
| 395 | * CallBack: Loves to do this, especially when he senses common themes in things he tackles. |
| 396 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His very first sporking posted to the site was a link to his own blog with a sporking on it that used characters and used ''Mystery Science Theater 3000's'' structure far more rigorously. |
| 397 | * GenreThrowback: One of his recent sporkings has started to use exclusively characters-much like the ones on his original page. |
| 398 | ** Later sporkings have him doing this far more elaborately with a lot of characters of his own making, [[TheCastShowoff which he clearly enjoys writing.]] |
| 399 | * IHaveManyNames: Depending on who you ask, he's Riffing Academy, riffingacademy, or R.A. His characters like to call him The Chairman. |
| 400 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Doesn't really say it, but he implies it with his user image: a figure of [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami Tomoe]] posed at a table like she's distraught and drinking. |
| 401 | * InsistentTerminology: He calls sporking "riffing" due to his love for ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. And because his nickname wouldn't make sense otherwise. |
| 402 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He, and by extension, his characters, will empathize wholeheartedly with certain kinds of authors, such as new or young authors making rookie mistakes...and then go right back to skewering their stories. |
| 403 | * TheNicknamer: He likes to apply nicknames to characters to get some more comedy out of his sporkings. Most of them don't stick, but there are some he hangs on to for a while: |
| 404 | ** He likes to call [[Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey Christian Grey]] [[ShoutOut "Chris]]-[[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Chan"]]. And any other character named "Chris" he finds contemptible enough, for that matter. |
| 405 | ** Called Franchise/HarryPotter whatever nicknames for Franchise/{{Superman}} that came to mind in one fic where he seemed to pull superhuman strength and endurance from nowhere. It failed to stick halfway through the story, then a few chapters later got replaced with calling him [[ComicStrip/TomTheDancingBug God-Man, The Superhero with Omnipotent Powers]]. |
| 406 | ** On the off-chance that a fanfic contains an inexplicable paragraph break, he calls that a "fanfic JumpCut." |
| 407 | ** ''Fanfic/PrettyCurePerfumePreppy'' and its Scries Perfume being filled with brown fluid got him to immediately christen it "poo water," which has stuck for the rest of the sporking thus far. |
| 408 | * RageQuit: A bad ''Literature/SpiceAndWolf'' fanfic updated by the time he finished sporking what he thought was its last chapter, but he was so fed up with it by that point that he halted the sporking right there. Raxistaicho picked it up afterwards. |
| 409 | ** He does tend to do soft hiatuses of stories he finds particularly offensive-he's not a particularly patient man, but who can blame him? |
| 410 | * RapidFireComedy: When he's not biting into something the story at hand brings up, he's throwing around a lot of small, snide jabs. He also loves to make wacky sketches and create long gags wherever he can. |
| 411 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As "The Chairman," in his current format, though [[NotSoAboveItAll he's not above getting under the skin of some of his characters]] and other times, getting his cast to do the dirty work for him [[LovableCoward smacks of cowardice.]] [[CowardlyLion But considering he reads it in the first place and only then does he hand it off to the others...]] |
| 412 | * SailorEarth: One of a few sporkers who pitched in and made up senshi based on themselves when a ''Anime/SailorMoon'' fic prompted a joke amongst those lines. |
| 413 | * SignatureStyle: Both in what he sporks and how he sporks it. |
| 414 | ** If it has [[InvincibleHero unstoppable,]] [[DesignatedHero unlikable]] leads, {{Chickification}} and at least one DamselScrappy, he's probably got his hands on it. [[BerserkButton Or around]] [[UnstoppableRage its throat.]] |
| 415 | ** He likes to give his text cuts [[ThemeNaming themed titles]], usually aligned with the theme or canon of what he's tasked himself with sporking. |
| 416 | ** He's something of a method actor in his sporkings, writing as if he knows maybe one or two details in a chapter and otherwise acting the way he thinks one would act when reading the story for the first time. |
| 417 | ** His style, in addition to having lots of quick, snide remarks, used to include [[VisualGag video clips and pictures]] to break up his normal quips. For intros and outros, he's always either stuck to writing short essays introducing each chapter, character dialogue, or miniature host segments. |
| 418 | * StalkerWithoutACrush: For a while he made it as if Sues and Stus with wolf motifs stalked him ever since he sporked two unrelated stories with the same wolf motifs back-to-back completely by accident. |
| 419 | * WallOfText: He loves writing-perhaps a little too much. He tends to write huge, multi-paragraph intros, outros and index entries. When he does this in the middle of a sporking, it's either to [[InfoDump explain things non-fans of a series might not know,]] [[RageBreakingPoint wind up and let loose on something particularly angering,]] [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness throw around really big words to show off his vocabulary]] or he's about to get seriously nerdy. |

| 422 | [[folder:riyna_chan]] |
| 423 | ->"I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW, ''THIS IS SUCH DUMB BULLSHIT''" |
| 424 | A longtime lurker of the comm, riyna_chan—who prefers to be known as Riyna, please and thank you—joined initially to follow Midoriri's 9 spork redux, and made her sporker debut in 2014, joining Midoriri for ''Pretty Cure'' fics. She's currently working on sporking a Cinderella fic. |
| 425 | ---- |
| 426 | * AffectionateNickname: Riri and Ri, though the latter is used mostly by Midoriri. Riyna calls Midoriri "Kris", as well as "Carino". The former is only affectionate due to the fact no one else calls her that, but the latter is definitely so. [[spoiler: It's a Spanish term of endearment, closest to terms like sweetie, dear, darling or honey.]] |
| 427 | * BerserkButton: Crosses with NoIndoorVoice—things like racism, sexism, misogyny, and other horrible things tend to bring on the capslock. |
| 428 | * CapsLock: Abused a lot. Unapologetically so. |
| 429 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Sporks in the color blue. This is partially because Riyna's favorite color is blue, but also because it's much easier on her eyes to differentiate fic text from commentary. The purple color chosen for scripting wasn't Riyna's choice, but she's pretty thankful for it. |
| 430 | * FanGirl: Magical girls—most notably Sailormoon and Pretty Cure—as well as an intense love for Cinderella. |
| 431 | * GotMeDoingIt: For as much as she sentences Midoriri to the pungeon, sharp eyed readers will notice Riyna makes her own terrible puns too. |
| 432 | * GratuitousJapanese: Yes, she's embarrassed about her username being riyna_chan. We were all dumb and 13 once, okay?! |
| 433 | * HeartwarmingInHindsight: Riyna and Midoriri were not dating while sporking their first fic, no matter how close they appeared to be, and it just makes it cuter when you really think about it. |
| 434 | * MagicalGirlWarrior: Sort of suggested the whole "becoming a magical girl" for the first Blaze fic, and it's essentially become a sporking staple. Riyna's specialty seems to be getting obscenely tl;dr about aspects of canon, providing caps and gifs, and also... |
| 435 | * MakeMeWannaShout: ...fixing canon by screaming about all the plot holes. ''Ruthlessly.'' |
| 436 | %%* OfficialCouple: With Midoriri. |
| 437 | * RunningGag: Refuses to read ahead for certain fics. This leads to a LOT of {{Angrish}}, capslock, and massive text. [[spoiler:This is only half true, Riyna DOES know some things that happen in advance, but only the things Midoriri tells her or things she's vaguely skimmed—this often means she's taken off-guard because she wasn't told the whole story. Those Angrish moments? Are completely genuine.]] |
| 438 | * ShrinkingViolet: Really REALLY shy, despite the sporks implying otherwise. This is why Riyna does not respond to comments or comment much to begin with—but she appreciates all the comments people leave, and loves reading them! |
| 439 | * ShoutOut: The blue and green Sporking Cure colors used by Midoriri (blue) and Riyna (green) for the Smile sporking are a nod to the popular Nao/Reika pairing in Smile Precure. [[spoiler:This is on purpose, as it was meant to be a subtle nod that yes, they are together.]] |
| 440 | %%* SirSwearsALot: Unapologetically so. |
| 441 | * WallOfText: God help you if something seriously pisses Riyna off. The last rant—all in capslock!—was a good page in length. |

| 447 | |
| 448 | [[folder:Scipiosmith]] |
| 449 | A sporker who joined in 2014. Primarily sporks the Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic fics. |
| 450 | ---- |
| 451 | * BerserkButton: {{Flanderization}} and bashing of canon characters, unoriginality, and [[DesignatedHero designated heroes]] |
| 452 | * {{Narm}}: Points out a lot of the In-Universe narm in ''Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic'' resulting from the author combining attempts to be DarkerAndEdgier and blatant ripoffs of children's media. |

| 456 | ->"No one person could hope to tackle this kind of task on their lonesome and hope to come out of it alive, or even sane, for that matter. Ergo...I ain't doin' it. I value what little sanity I still have." |
| 457 | A sporker that joined up during the 2014 influx, silais is unusual in that he's not actually present in the sporking itself, outside of very rare cameos—rather, he plays a number of characters that do the sporking for him, a situation that they make little effort in disguising their disappointment or outright fury toward. Has sporked ''Literature/BattlefieldEarth'' and ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'', and as of October 2019 is sporking ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim'' on his own blog and doing a rewrite of ''VideoGame/PokemonUranium''. |
| 458 | |
| 459 | Considering the length of each of his sporks, it may be a good idea to organize tropes by the spork in which they appear. |
| 460 | ---- |
| 461 | * AlterEgoActing: The whole spork is done entirely through characters; see TheGhost and ScrewThisImOuttaHere below. |
| 462 | ** Uses the ''{{VideoGame/Neptunia}}'' characters to do the same thing with ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' |
| 463 | * AuthorAppeal: The four main sporkers all having flirtatious and semi-romantic relationships with one another, [[MetaphoricallyTrue allegedly as a much-needed distraction]] from the book being sporked. [[NoFourthWall They are fully aware of this]] and have alternated between [[RageAgainstTheAuthor being less than pleased]] and [[LampshadeHanging having fun with it.]] |
| 464 | * BerserkButton: Each character has their own; Deis takes personal offense toward the author injecting [[AuthorTract a little too much of his own biases]] or [[{{Hypocrite}} ignoring his own rules]] into the writing, Nina quickly becomes outraged whenever the protagonist displays [[JerkAss particularly rampant sociopathy]] toward loved ones and friends, Momo has on more than one occasion had a meltdown over [[IdiotBall breathtaking, almost willful displays of utter idiocy]], and Ursula has a tendency to become violent whenever bigotry or particularly poor planning on the part of the author or characters makes its appearance. |
| 465 | * CovertPervert: Inverted with Deis, who makes absolutely no attempt whatsoever to disguise her lewd thoughts, behavior, or commentary. The other three, Nina in particular, show more signs of this. |
| 466 | ** Can frequently lead to either moments of self-{{Squick}} or moments of hilarity depending on context. |
| 467 | * DeadpanSnarker: Everyone, at times, but special mention must go to Ursula, who is a borderline [[TheSnarkKnight Snark Knight]] with the sheer frequency that she defaults to this. |
| 468 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Cthulhu himself makes a personal appearance at Deis' request to handle the beginning of the third leg of the novel. He does not respond well upon reaching a particular section that [[MoralEventHorizon heaps obscene amounts of undeserved praise in the most offensive manner possible]] upon the AuthorAvatar. |
| 469 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: YES. Special mention goes to Momo, who, if she wasn't borderline alcoholic before this started, certainly is now, having all but abandoned beer and wine in favor of drinking whiskey straight from the bottle during particularly awful moments. |
| 470 | %%* MindScrew: Loads of this, mainly due to the nature of the sporking itself. |
| 471 | * NoFourthWall: (Almost) everyone is fully aware of the fact that not only are they characters in their various media, but also that they are taking part in a (forced) sporking and there are people reading about them, and will frequently comment on both as the situation calls for it, usually either to make a point with regards to the subject at hand or for humor's sake. |
| 472 | ** In the ''Chrono Cross'' spork, Neptune does this the most. |
| 473 | * RageBreakingPoint: Everyone has had one, though they come in different forms, ranging from screaming at the people involved to [[TranquilFury calmly delivering a brutal verbal smackdown]] to [[BurningWithAnger bursting into flames]] all the way to [[AngstNuke literally exploding with their anger]]. |
| 474 | * RealityWarper: The story they're sporking is so terrible that it's opened a physical PlotHole in their own reality, wreaking havoc and swapping characters out almost at random whenever it's aggravated further. The warping appears to be becoming more dangerous and random as they go deeper into the novel. |
| 475 | * RelaxOVision: Just before or after a particularly bad segment of the story, or in order to signify a break, a video of some sort will be posted in the middle of the sporking; [[NoFourthWall the characters will frequently comment on said video, assuming they didn't simply post it themselves.]] |
| 476 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Right in the introduction to the spork silais flatly proclaims that he's not doing it himself, instead choosing to shove a number of characters into the thing in his stead, which leads to... |
| 477 | * SelfDeprecation: The sporking characters all but openly despise their writer for forcing them into their current situation and frequently insult him whenever the opportunity arises, going so far as to [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou hijack the comment threads]] due to the fact that [[JustifiedTrope he isn't actually doing his own spork and thus can't/shouldn't comment on it.]] |
| 478 | %%* ServileSnarker: The main cast. Full stop. |
| 479 | * ShoutOut: Too many to list—dozens of different canons and even commenters themselves have been directly mentioned in the sporking. |
| 480 | * TheGhost: Almost nonexistent in his own sporking, or for that matter even in most of the comments regarding same, though he will jump in to respond to more serious concerns or topics. |
| 481 | * TheOmnipotent: Deis, both by nature of being [[PhysicalGod one of the Endless]] and the fact that she's the only one who's read the entire book. [[ItAmusedMe Likes to induce unease or dread]] at what lies ahead in the story. |
| 482 | * WallOfText: Whether it be a multi-page explanation/rant, a complete deconstruction of the situation at hand, or the ShowWithinAShow running a little long, the sporking is FULL of this. Also in part because of [[DoorStopper the sheer length of the novel in question.]] |
| 483 | [[/folder]] |

| 485 | [[folder:Sitaspell]] |
| 486 | A very active sporker, sitaspell is currently working on sporks of ''Literature/SaveThePearls'' (with Cheryl_Bites), the 'racy' romance novel ''Hedging His Bets'', and the 'thriller/horror' novel ''Intensity''. |
| 487 | --- |
| 488 | * BerserkButton: The racism in ''Save The Pearls'' sends her into long-winded rants- a far cry from her usual easygoing personality. |
| 489 | %%* CardCarryingVillain: Chose to spork ''Intensity'' by Dean Koontz at least partly because its villain was like this. |
| 490 | * InfectiousEnthusiasm: |
| 491 | -->"Do you see now why I love Vess so much? HE IS GRAND. Koontz tried so hard to show us how super-duper maxi extreme ultra evil Vess is that he became great. And this is only the first chapter, guys! You can�t even imagine how much more terrifically amazing he becomes." |

| 497 | Sweettalkeress is an amateur writer, blogger, and beta reader who began sporking in 2012. She's also [[{{Otaku}} a big anime fan]], and many of her sporks contain references to anime she's seen, particularly as points of comparison. |
| 498 | ---- |
| 499 | * AVerySpecialEpisode: Her sporking of the LighterAndSofter ''Anime/CodeGeass'' fanfic "Euphemia's Surprise" was a major departure from the dark, violent, cynical fare she usually goes after. |
| 500 | * BerserkButton: Really hates to see human-bashing and ProtagonistCenteredMorality in all their forms, as well as allusions to sexism and rape culture. She also once wrote a wall of text about how angry it made her that a story's GaryStu lead tried to claim superiority because of how much he cared about the environment. |
| 501 | ** Also, woe betide you if she thinks you're misrepresenting a character she really likes. |
| 502 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Likes to dream these up for the characters she hates. They often double as {{Shout Out}}s. |
| 503 | * InsistentTerminology: Openly admitted in her first sporking job that she would never refer to the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' characters by anything but their English names. |
| 504 | %%* LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek: Most of the stories she sporks feature at least shades of this. |
| 505 | * NightmareFetishist: Has admitted to loving horror fiction and creepy villains. In fact, this came up in one of her sporkings when she admitted that she could tell how bad the story was because it failed to appeal even to her NightmareFetishist sensibilities |
| 506 | * ShoutOut: Her sporkings contain many, many references to anime, as well as music. |
| 507 | * ShownTheirWork: She's a student of environmental biology, and her knowledge of these subjects occasionally comes out in her sporkings and comments |
| 508 | * ThrowTheDogABone: Frequently points out when she sees something she likes in a work, as well as when she sees something she doesn't like. |

| 602 | ---- |
| 603 | * AuthorAppeal: Has a certain fondness for [[UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars French Marshals and generals from the First Empire.]] |
| 604 | * BerserkButton: [[JerkSue Raven Uley]]'s rudeness was the cause of her first [[GratuitousFrench bilingual tantrums]]. |
| 605 | * EmbarrassingNickname: Of her own choosing, no less. She took the pen name "Yewfelle" when she was a ''Fire Emblem'' fanatic and soon realized that she pronounced it very close to "you fail". Her guest sporkers call her by her actual first name anyway. |
| 606 | * GamerChick: Part of the reason why she recruited a ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' character to spork a ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' Suefic. Other favourite titles include ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'' and a bunch of old Sierra games. |
| 607 | * GratuitousFrench: Often reverts to her native language for no adequate reason. [[HypocriticalHumor And sometimes criticizes Murat for doing the same.]] |
| 608 | * SpecialGuest: [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Gerome]] during the sporking of ''Raven Uley''. She then took it further in the sporking of ''1810'' by dragging [[UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars Marshal Joachim Murat]] out of the [[AfterlifeAntechamber Waiting Room]]. |

| 685 | ---- |
| 686 | * AlterEgoActing: With a MoonRabbit called Ki no Mochizuki. |
| 687 | * AngstNuke: If sufficiently pissed off, she'll explode into ''waka'' poetry. She calls it "poetry nukes". |
| 688 | * AsianAndNerdy: Vietnamese, has proficiency in two foreign languages and devoted to her chosen fandoms. |
| 689 | * AuthorAppeal: Obviously has a thing for ''waka'' poetry and doesn't hesitate to feature them in her sporks. |
| 690 | * BerserkButton: |
| 691 | ** Weeabooism and half-assing Japanese and Japanese culture. She also despises CreatorsCultureCarryover, such as Japanese characters making puns that don't work in languages outside English and other Americanisms/Westernisms for canons that are clearly set in Japan with overt Japanese cultural elements. |
| 692 | ** Shoehorning bland female StockShoujoHeroine OCs where they don't belong in order to be shipped with canon male characters, especially in fandoms like ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' and ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu''. |
| 693 | ** Forgetting what historical period a JidaiGeki canon is set in will get her yelling in a big font really fast. |
| 694 | ** Infantilizing [=TouRabu=]'s tantō swords just because they [[OlderThanTheyLook look like children]] despite their being ''historical artifacts'' with hundreds of years of history under their belts. |
| 695 | ** [[Jerkass Saibankannokami]] [[DesignatedHero Takara Kishimoto]], whom she dubs "Suebakanokami", [[BadBoss and]] [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale her]] [[DisproportionateRetribution behavior]]. |
| 696 | * BlindWithoutEm: |
| 697 | -->"My myopia is very bad, your optical nerves won't be able to handle my super thick lenses and your life won't be able to handle a Kichiku Meganekko's wrath when she finds out." |
| 698 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "[[VideoGame/ToukenRanbu Drop your head and die]]" directed at Sues and badfics. |
| 699 | * EveryoneHasStandards: |
| 700 | ** Prominent in ''Nobunaga-sensei''. The Stu is a raping pedophile and Yuki has no problem with him being blown up by a bazooka, beaten up by a robot, castrated, decapitated... but gets pissed when the show itself shows one of his victims trying to organize a rape against him. KarmicRape is beneath her. |
| 701 | ** While she hates Frollo Freak's work and sporked it a lot, she stopped for a long while [[spoiler:when the author passed away, due to respect for the dead.]] |
| 702 | * GamerChick: Specializes in ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'', dipping into ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji|2016}}'' once in a while. Has also shown knowledge of and revealed to play ''VideoGame/BungoToAlchemist'' in the sporking of a bad crossover. |
| 703 | -->"Protip: do ''not'' half-ass nihontō facts in front of this avid [=TouRabu=] player. You've been warned" |
| 704 | * GratuitousJapanese: So far the biggest offender of this on the comm. |
| 705 | * InSeriesNickname: Shortens her name to just "Yuki" during co-sporkings. Her special guests in the ''Nobunaga-sensei'' sporking instead call her "Kariginu". |
| 706 | * KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Apparently she wears a ''kariginu'' while sporking, hence one of her nicknames. |
| 707 | * LadySwearsALot: All while supposedly being learned enough to spout classical Japanese poetry on a regular basis. |
| 708 | * MeaningfulName: Her screen name, aside from being a reference to the poet Ki no Tsurayuki, means "white snow on a tree" whereas the moon rabbit's name is "full moon on a tree". |
| 709 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: The name she chooses is a reference to Ki no Tsurayuki. |
| 710 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The ''Nobunaga-sensei'' spork refers to all its characters by aliases – the titular character by "Nobukinz", others by the names of their historical counterparts and Kichō by ''Nōhime'', a title that's never used in the series. Only Kitsuno is referred to by her canonical name. |
| 711 | * PrecisionFStrike: Is already [[SophisticatedAsHell foul-mouthed]] enough normally, but most notably in one journal cut tag: |
| 712 | -->"Kyū-kyū-nyo-FUCKING-ritsu-ryō!" |
| 713 | * PretenderDiss: Due to her experience with Japanese culture, she disses weeabooism a lot. |
| 714 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: She is not amused when a Sue or Stu rapes. It's also the ONE thing she wouldn't wish even in the worst Sues. |
| 715 | * SignatureStyle[=/=]SigningOffCatchphrase: She ends her posts with ''waka'' poems which she also translates herself. |
| 716 | * SophisticatedAsHell: At once decorates her posts with classical Japanese poetry and loads of swearing. |
| 717 | ** A fine example, though without swearing: She proposed killing a pedophilic Stu with a bazooka... but insisted on doing it with poetic style. |
| 718 | * SympathyForTheDevil: UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga was not a nice person, but ''Nobunaga-sensei'' actually made Yuki feel sorry for the cruel warlord. |

| 722 | A 2018 newbie sporker. Goes by Emma in sporks instead of her username. Currently sporking ''Franchise/DragonAge'' fanfic ''The Crown of Thorns'' and ''Literature/HarryPotter''[=/=] ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' crossover ''The Difference One Man Can Make'', and cosporking ''Harry Potter'' fanfic ''Saviour Of Magic'' with senselessmusing |
| 723 | ---- |
| 724 | * AlterEgoActing: Brings in her Wardens in Crown of Thorns, and post- ''Literature/ADanceWithDragons'' Asha Greyjoy, Theon Greyjoy, and Jeyne Poole in ''The Difference One Man can Make'' |
| 725 | * BerserkButton: |
| 726 | ** Hates fucking with minerology and gemology. ''Saviour of Magic'' using coloured diamonds to the exclusion of all other gemstones sets her off, and [=TDOMCM=] presenting an alloy of steel and obsidian as viable and the true formula of Valyrian steel makes her explode. |
| 727 | ** Headhopping between [=POVs=], especially when it only serves to show how much everyone loves the main character. |
| 728 | * DeadpanSnarker: Often responds to the narrative or particularly dumb things characters say sarcastically. |
| 729 | * HiddenDepths: Wants to go into education/childcare and her knowledge of childhood development comes up in [=SoM=] |

| 741 | |
| 742 | [[folder:[=rc88=]]] |
| 743 | * BerserkButton: [[RomanticisedAbuse Romanticising abuse and rape]] disgusts them a lot. Also [[TooDumbToLive extreme stupidity]] and [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney obnoxious flaunting of wealth]]. |

| 745 | |
| 746 | [[folder:[=Leliel12=] and Boyd the Reaver]] |
| 747 | |
| 748 | [[TheDividual A pair of sporkers]] who joined in 2020, who use the shared Leliel's account to make their own sporkings. |
| 749 | ---- |
| 750 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: They term the ending outline of ''Fanfic/ABrighterDark'' something they're not sure would have damned the fic if implemented, or completely redeemed it...[[SoBadItsGood for all the wrong reasons]]. |
| 751 | * AbortedArc: The ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' series wide spork was put on hiatus for a short amount of time before outright cancelled. Cited reasons include both the work being too personal and feeling more like a moral obligation than a fun activity to do, as well as Boyd really [[CreatorBreakdown wringing himself going through with it]]. |
| 752 | * AlterEgoActing: They enjoy this, to say the least: |
| 753 | ** The ''A Brighter Dark'' sporking: there are ''seven'' co-sporkers in addition to Leliel and Boyd themselves, and [[TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}} Azalin Rex]], [[VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} Caim]] and [[Videogame/Drakengard3 Zero]] join [[SixthRanger the group later]]. |
| 754 | ** ''FanFic/ThousandShinji'' has four, plus Libraryseraph joining them as a third real-life sporker - [[VideoGame/Persona5 Futaba Sakura and Joker]] (named Shinobu Hattori), [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3 Taion]], and Leliel's [[OriginalGeneration original character]], [[TabletopGame/{{Scion}} Diego]] [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Munoz]], with Sophia Aurelian, a [[RuleSixtyThree female version]] of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Lorgar]] from Libraryseraph, joining later. |
| 755 | ** ''Anime/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' has [[VideoGame/Persona4 Yukiko Amagi, Chie Satonaka]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}} Anne Boonchuy]], [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Luz Noceda]], and [[LovableAlphaBitch Iantha]] "Iana" [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Praeconius]] (a [[TabletopGame/{{Exalted}} No Moon Lunar]] from the [[TheNightThatNeverEnds Nighted City]] of [[CityNoir Champoor]]) as their backup. |
| 756 | * BerserkButton: |
| 757 | ** Forgetting the implications caused by A Brighter Dark's Nohr [[TheNightThatNeverEnds lacking a sun]] causes Leliel to go off, frequently making his co-sporkers dissect issues while he descends into {{Angrish}}. Bad tactics and cruel behavior from ostensible heroes sets ''both'' of them off. |
| 758 | ** Lore violations of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' set Futaba off, while the same violations for ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' piss off Diego. |
| 759 | ** Bad examples of the HaremGenre irritate Leliel to no end, to the point where after a particularly bad example as a {{Filler}} chapter in ''Thousand Shinji'', Leliel is nearly corrupted into [[WarGod Khorne]] worship. |
| 760 | ** Romanticize portrayals of slavery piss them off something fierce, hence why they are sporking ''Rising of the Shield Hero'', which they blame for popularizing the idea of the HerosSlaveHarem. |
| 761 | * BrokenPedestal: |
| 762 | ** Boyd, and to a lesser extent Leliel, both have this in mind for the entire ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' series. Both genuinely thought well of the series, but after the SeasonalRot and some major personal drama that affected Boyd, combined with the [[https://twitter.com/seacyucumber/status/1255310048047312896?lang=en disturbing discovery of an attempted real-life Killing Game on Instagram]], both of them came to feel the entire franchise had some horrifically {{Broken Aesop}}s that ended up normalizing the behavior it was striking against. They even tried to spork the entire main series before a CreatorBreakdown made them step back for good. |
| 763 | ** ''[[RebuiltPedestal Inverted]]'', strangely enough, with the author of ''A Brighter Dark'' known by Death Dealer Inc. The both of them ([[EntertaininglyWrong for understandable reasons]]) concluded from reading his work that he was a SmugSnake JerkAss who regarded his critics with as much contempt as he would have for ''Fates'' due to his CanonDefilement of ''Fates''' story and characters. As it turns out, the man himself would appear and [[IHatePastMe admit that his teenage self]] was an OldShame, and frankly cheers on the Spork as a wholesale while showing he's no longer like that. This ended up pleasantly surprising both Leliel and Boyd to the point of making it explicit that any sort of punches to the work was to the work only than the author, [[PetTheDog with both of them toning down any call-outs to the author as a result]]. |
| 764 | * CatchPhrase: In ''Thousand Shinji'', they have a pretty succinct one whenever [[VillainProtagonist Shinji]] does [[KickTheDog something cruel]] for no good reason, [[StupidEvil not even a selfish one]]: "Fuck off, [[MaliciousMisnaming Tzeentchji]]." |
| 765 | * DoWrongRight: A lot of their issues with ''Thousand Shinji'' are based around the Chaos-corrupted Shinji not being an especially compelling or sympathetic VillainProtagonist, as well as the fic not understanding the Dark Gods and their domains very well; they feel [[GeniusSlob Misato]] would be far more likely to agree with [[ThePigPen Nurgle]] than [[ThePerfectionist Slaanesh]], as Nurgle would support her retreating deeper into a MessOfWoe, and vice versa for [[MartyrWithoutACause Rei]], as Slaanesh would encourage her tendencies of seeing herself as a weapon and [[ArrogantKungFuGuy encourage her to use that as the source of self-worth]]. |
| 766 | * RedOniBlueOni: Boyd tends to be the more HotBlooded Red, while Leliel is the snarky but (usually) calm Blue. |
| 767 | * RunningGag: Their co-sporkers hitting a RageBreakingPoint and destroying part of the sporking chamber in some way. (And possibly more, such as Azalin causing [[AngstNuke a magical catastrophe]] when Garon's GambitRoulette is fully revealed, and the sheer amount of contrivance pushes him past the breaking point.) |
| 768 | * SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: They are of this opinion, as exposited on at length in the ''Rising of the Shield Hero'' spork. |
| 769 | * SpecialGuest: Libraryseraph joins them in the ''Thousand Shinji'' spork. |
| 770 | * ThoseTwoGuys: They're a [[TheDividual Dividual]] who uses Leliel's accounts to post critiques into the works they choose to spork. Personality-wise, [[RedOniBlueOni Boyd is a lot more hot-headed, while Leliel is a lot more snarky but calm]]. |

| 777 | ---- |
| 778 | * AlterEgoActing: Many of his sporks and comments have fictional guest sporkers, usually [[Franchise/StarWars Finn]] and [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Leah Clearwater]]. |
| 779 | * BerserkButton: Sexism, romanticized abuse and rape, wasted potential, ProtagonistCenteredMorality and character bashing when it's not explicitly deconstructing something in canon. |
| 780 | * DamnedByAFoolsPraise: Occasionally, an evil co-sporker might do a compliment on something descpicable they agree with, which makes Pan and the good co-sporkers argue with them. Though there are times [[EvenEvilHasStandards even they are repulsed]]. |
| 781 | * DoWrongRight: His more villainous co-sporkers will often mock villainous incompetence and say what they would do instead. |

| 796 | * EveryoneHasStandards: While he's harsh on Harry, he would never even ''consider'' outright torturing him. |
| 797 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: In Master Ghandalf's sporkings, he often finishes chapters by announcing he's going to the Hog's Head for some firewhiskey. |

| 819 | A group of [[VideoGame/ToukenRanbu anthropomorphic personifications of Japanese swords]], brought over as guests during Ki no Shirayuki's ''Nobunaga-sensei'' spork. The ensemble consists of swords that belonged to UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga (Heshikiri Hasebe, Yagen Tōshirō, Fudō Yukimitsu and Sōza Samonji), but one of them is swapped out for Ichigo Hitofuri for one episode. |
| 820 | ---- |
| 821 | * BerserkButton: The Oda swords in general are horrified at various degrees at ''Nobunaga-sensei'''s treatment of their old master. |
| 822 | ** In addition, Fudō is ''especially'' set off by the portrayal of [[CreepyCrossdresser Mori]] [[DepravedHomosexual Ranmaru]], because he is loyal to him as well. |
| 823 | ** Yagen however is pissed at the characters' critical lack of common sense and the series' flat-out saying transvestite men ''are just male sexual fantasies'', because his brother Midare is a known crossdresser and DudeLooksLikeALady. |
| 824 | * ClusterFBomb: Fudō's dialogues are written like this. |
| 825 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Hasebe and Sōza don't like Nobunaga, but even they are appalled by the anime they have to sit through. |
| 826 | * GodzillaThreshold: If Hasebe is really infuriated about the disrespect Nobunaga gets, the disrespect has really gone too far. |
