The Worst Story Ever (the MST3K version)

This past week, Frankie Diane Mallis did something very brave. On a dare, she posted an “absolutely horrid horrid horrid story ‘Untitled’ that I wrote in the 4th grade”… the MST3K version. Seriously, move over Plan 9. “Untitled” is so bad, it’s good. And her quips, taken from thats-not-polite years of experienceâ€” she had me laughing so hard I thought I was going to suffocate.

Click here and offer Frankie some congratulations for her personal bravery in the face of almost-certain embarrassment.

(I’m going to dwell on it a while, before venturing to post any of my early crap. I don’t know if I have the moral fortitude.)

P.S. She’s giving away 6 advance reading copies (in 3 prizes). Enter the giveaway here. (Be sure to read Frankie’s instructions for how to enter!)

Haha thanks for featuring my story (I think) and sooo glad it made you laugh as it did bc getting a laugh out of someone was the best I could hope for in this situation though I doubted I’d even get that since it sucked so hard blech!!! If you’re interested tagged also under Really Old Things I wrote–back in October I posted in 3 parts the fairy tale I wrote when I was 9 called Carol and the Future Fish–given the same commentary treatment.

Anyway post yours and do the commentary-its fun! Good luck!!!

I’ll think about it, Frankie. 🙂 See, you have the advantage of pulling something out from when you were little. I don’t know if I have anything that old, even in my memento box, but maybe I can find something from a few years ago on my computer.
