everyone submit what they think is their worst story or something.

MST = Mystery Science Theater. There was that old show, Mystery Science Theater 3000, with the guy and the robot and alien who made fun of really bad old sci-fi B-movies. The concept in fanfic is the same; you take a really bad fanfic and then write dialogue as the guys or whatever characters you choose making fun of it, like their commentary as they read.
I'll see if I can find a good example.

Ah nice, my attempt at is is still online, even though it hasn't been linked on my site in years.

This is my MST of a sci-fi story written by a friend of mine, who told me I could. I would only do one with the author's permission. It was her first story, so she didn't care at that point, but I remember it being hard to make fun of. I'm amazed I actually got through 13 chapters of it; I didn't think I'd gotten that far.
I found out about MSTs through my brief foray into Harry Potter fanfic on ff.net. There was a good one on there of the Marauders (Harry's dad and his friends, for those who don't read HP) reading the Harry Potter series.

Oh I know what Mystery Science Theater is, I just didn't put two and two together. LOL. I think I've read a few of those for fanfic ...

I used to LOVE mystery science theater back in the day. Always cracked me up.
