Over at Tor.com, Leah Schnelbach has a nice piece: “
8 Lessons MST3K Taught Me About Writing, Life, and Everything.” It was actually posted a couple of days ago, and I was just going to post an item about it, and I knew I would hear some great thoughts from you guys, but then I thought — why waste it? Why not save it for a weekend thread?
My thought is a little bit of a variation on item 5: Don’t write what you think other people will think is funny, write what makes you laugh. That’s what they did for all those years: They had no studio audience, no test groups, they had to trust what THEY thought was funny. It worked.
So what has MST3K taught you?
