Hello all! DiamondDust here! Well, I said this place wasn't dead in the last update, but that was well over two years ago! I had nearly forgotten about this place. It's highly doubtful anyone still checks in here, but it's good to be back. Life has been pretty hectic as of late, huh? Here's hoping you all are staying safe and (mostly) indoors. Since a lot of us are stuck inside, it's been the perfect time to catch up on a good book or your favorite show. As for me, I've used the time to write and self-publish a few books. That's probably the main reason this place hasn't seen any kind of activity. I just have haven't had time for riffing or anything of the like.
Well, it's time for that to change. I've been working on a number of MSTs as of late, some stories you may have heard of and others you'll experience for the first time. I had to pay my respects to certain fanfics and given them a bit of a Shiva MSTs twist.
Finally, I would like to preface any future MSTs by saying what I do is in all good fun. Obviously, these sorts of sites pick on bad fanfic that are probably made by people writing their first story. It's obviously not fair to completely beat up on someone like that, so whether you laugh or can't stand what's uploaded onto this site, just know I don't hold any personal grudge against any story mentioned here. We all have to start somewhere, right? (I used to write stuff just like it honestly...).
Anyway, let's reboot for real this time. See you all soon.
Riffing fanfiction since 2013...

Reboot
Hello. If you're seeing this and have been to this site before, you're likely wondering where everything went. If this is your first stop here then let me welcome you to Shiva MSTs, where we review the worst of the worst when it comes to fanfiction. Per the banner, I started this site WAY back in 2013 after binge watching too many episodes of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and splitting my sides reading Elmer Studios riffings (you should check them out, by the way. They're the main inspiration for this place). I had a pretty good run of it too and a lot of fun reading some truly bizarre (though somewhat admirable) fanfiction.
But then...I suddenly stopped. Why? Let's get to the topic at hand.
My last riffing was about two years ago (2016), and this place had been dead ever since. My interests have been all over the places the past few years (I manage a forum, play fighting games, manage a YouTube channel, and write fanfiction on the side. Yikes!), and that unfortunately didn't include this blog. However, after binge reading some Elmer Studios stuff again (I can't stop reading Hellstorm Evangelion for some reason even though it's horrible) and rewatching the MST3K episode of Manos: The Hands of Fate (what are we going to do, Michael?! Oh, Mike!) for about the one-hundreth time, I find myself longing to get back to riffing. I figured I might as well clean up the place and start from scratch. For those of you that have been here before, I am in the midst of rewriting all the old stuff and making it all nice and shiny. While most of it was fine, reading over it, I wasn't satisfied with my earlier riffs (ESPECIALLY the first one. Yuck!). For you newcomers, get ready to experience Shiva MSTs as it was meant to be! Here's hoping this place stays alive for more than a few months at a time, and if you find any fanfiction you would like the Shiva Gang to pick apart, please don't hesitate to send it my way.
As before, I will upload character profiles for the Shiva Gang members for those of you who haven't had the pleasure (or displeasure) of meeting them.
That's all for now. I plan to post plenty of updates (mostly so people know this place is indeed alive and well) so stayed tuned. If you've read this far, I greatly appreciate it. If you haven't...
TL;DR: This place isn't dead. I'm rewriting everything. Come back in a little bit.
