Something I've observed about recent sporking trends...

 One thing I've come to notice from walking in sporking circles is that not only do multiple sporkings of the Hunger Games trilogy apparently exist, but someone's started sporking Divergent on Das_Sporking as well. Now, I can't attest to the quality of either of these works, but from my understanding both series have their good points and their bad points--they're not notoriously awful works like Twilight or the Fifty Shades series, which a good chunk of people enjoy ironically if at all. I'm beginning to think that part of the reason people are so eager to spork them is less anything specifically pertaining to their actual content (though that may have figured in, at least when this trend began) than that it's simply become "cool" to spork stories like that. Something about them makes them an easy target nowadays, in other words.

I was wondering about this, but I haven't read either of the series.

I'm kind of glad I don't move in sporking circles (except for things like Corific and LKH-snarking, both of which I know are of deservedly bad series) any more...

For my part, I think I've started to move away from sporking fanfics and more toward sporking official material that just doesn't get the criticism I think it deserves >:D

Like, my current sporking job is the anime "Romeo X Juliet" (though it's coming along at a glacial pace, being my first anime sporking) and I've also had a mind to spork the anime "Elfen Lied," and a manga version of "Heat Guy J" that, from what I've seen of it, completely butchers everything about the anime series that I like.

I'll have to check out the anime-sporks... How do you even spork an anime, anyway? In the same manner that the Agony Booth used to do screencap-illustrated snarkings of movies? (Might have answered my own question there.)

Good luck and have fun! Snark away! >:D
