Messing Around With The Scanner...
I mess around with my scanner from time to time. There's a reason I don't do that much...

think of anything else to do at night.

From The Old Floppies: Issue #3: Unfinished MiSTing of "Adventure of Jesse and Nick"
Here's something else I'm going to have to explain a little bit before I put in a jump and the actual item.
As quite a few readers may know, I'm a fan of a show called Mystery Science Theater 3000, or MST3K for short. I didn't really get into it until college, but I'd seen the show on a few occasions in high school. I didn't really "get it" until my local FOX affiliate picked up the syndicated "Mystery Science Theater Hour" version of the show, which ran slightly abridged episodes as two-parters instead of one, two-hour long block, with special bumpers at the start and end of each hour.
During my last year or so of full-time undergraduate study and the few years immediately after, I wrote quite a few fan fiction pieces based on the series. In general, these were referred to as "MiSTings" At first, I wrote using the characters from the last three seasons of the show, the Sci-Fi Channel era, as that was what I was most familiar with, having watched those first-run while in college. Later on, I started a self-insertion series along the lines MST3K. Eventually, I had to stop altogether as a result of the combination of lack of time, the fact that subjectively good material to work with had become exceedingly difficult to find, as of 2004, more or less, and, at about the same time, the most major archive for this genre of fanfiction went dark.
The general format of these fan fiction pieces has a lot of what is known as "script style" writing for the host segments, where the characters making fun of a particular item are interacting outside of the item itself. Within the material being joked about, the character jokes will be in script style and the source material, usually prose of some sort, will have ">" at the start of each new line. I'll say right now, this is one of the more complex types of writing I've ever done, and I'm sure it takes some time to get used to reading as well. What I'm about to present will certainly be more of a challenge to read, as I hadn't yet developed a more practical way of setting things up.
What you are about to see, in this case, is an unfinished version of one of the last "true" MiSTings I ever wrote before I transitioned from using the characters from the TV show to using myself and whatever seemed like funny guests for me to have on a particular piece. This is Mike Nelson and the season ten cast riffing on a story I originally wrote for a language arts class in ninth grade called "The Adventure of Jesse and Nick".

A Basic Plan: March, 2012
This is as much for my own benefit as
anyone's, but I'm sure you're all interested, too.

A Plan In The Works
OK, so maybe I need to rethink what the first of my decade-plus old files will be posted first.

So, I'm finally getting around to doing something with those files I took off my old floppies.
