The Pink Boy Buffet: All You Can Eat MSTings (Website, 1999-2000)

Includes a five-part MST3K fanfic (aka MSTing or MiSTing) saga, in which Pearl summons Evil Mike, Regular Mike and the bots escape, and Pearl is sent to the Satellite and must form her own riffing team. You can visit it here; the main attraction is in Main Course. (If you ever get an error, try visiting another time via the top bar.)

You can find my other posts about MiSTings - MST3K fanfics that riff on other texts instead of movies - here, here and here.

All the President's Hair (All the President's Hair (Flash, Dorothy Gambrell & Mister Chen, 2005)

From the creators of the webcomic Cat and Girl. You can play it in your browser here. I believe the Wayback Machine has Ruffle integrated, but you should also download it as a browser extension here - if a website has an older version installed, the browser extension will take precedence.

Tip: full names are best. Surname usually works, but not Van Buren's.
