Historical Definitions
In the television show Mystery Science Theater 3000, the characters watched movies, cheesy ones in particular, and make snarky comments.
This was brought over to fandom. Pieces of fan fiction are MST'ed by inserting text to point out things such as gross errors in characterization, spelling, and grammar.
History
In 2003, fallout from previous incidents like cease and desist letters for adult content and FanFiction.Net’s policy regarding adult fiction, MST and Real Person Fic (RPF) necessitated some changes in the fan fiction community. One solution to the need to create new archives to fit new needs was the creation of numerous automated and community specific fan fiction archives.
Examples
Beavis and Butthead MSTed lots of music videos from their couch.
The Protectors of the Plot Continum MSTed several fics where bad authors had wreaked havoc on canon.
The Eye of Argon, a fantasy novel written in the 1970s, was famously MST'ed by Adam Cadre.[1] It, as well as the book, are often read t science-fiction conventions.
