Fic We Can't Come Up With A Title For
Yet another H&D original.


For a MSTing team, all you really need are some characters who are capable of making smart-assed comments. I don't remember why I picked Hiroshi and Daisuke, but they certainly qualify. I had done a spam post on the FFML with them as Beavis and Butt-head, and maybe that had something to do with it.

The idea of H&D actually writing their own fanfics, mostly as a way of satirizing certain other authors' work, came later. The first one, Fanboy's Delight, was a response of sorts to something named Calling All Ukyo Fans that appeared on the FFML. When Megane 6.7 preread it, he predicted that they'd lead to a spate of "XXX writes a fanfic," and as it turned out he was absolutely right. The second was just a bit of silliness based on a target of opportunity with no real satirical point (Hearts of Ice remains one of my all-time favorite fanfics). LCD was largely a response to Robert Haynie's Girl Days and its rather inexplicable popularity, though the short does go after other targets as well. H&D's preemptive response to criticism was more in line with Gregg Sharp, not Haynie who just tended to not hear such things. The last, untitled one came out of an argument over the FFML as to whether one ought to use the verb "smiled" to attribute dialog to a speaker, as in: "Pleased to meet you," she smiled. This is a short form of something like she said, smiling but when taken at face value it doesn't make a lot of sense — you can't smile a line of dialog. I, being very much on the negative side in this debate, wrote this piece as a way of taking the idea to an absurd conclusion.

I have of course used these guys in other stories, and have to often remind myself that they're not really the chuckleheads that I portray them as in these spamfics. In one case (The Master's Underthings) I deliberately did use this treatment of them for humor value.

The first post here, the GtRRGF, has of course nothing to do with Hiroshi and Daisuke, but it's in the same vein as their stuff so I threw it in. If I get around to doing a revision of it, it'll probably turn into Hiroshi and Daisuke's Guide to Really, Really Good Fanfiction.
