After having been MSTed I'm leary to continue posting this to the list.
Typically being MSTed signifies that a fic isn't very good and I think can
have somewhat negatives effects on readership, as it will be taken as
worthless pile of nonsense. I'll see what my co-author thinks.

NO!!

Some people do indeed write MSTings of fics they consider bad, in order
to make fun of them. Megane 6.7 is (usually) an example.

Others, like myself (though I haven't done one in a long while), write
MSTings of GOOD fics, as a way to call attention to them, and as a way
to make C&C more interesting.

I can't speak for Sean, but I'm reasonably sure his was in the latter
category. So keep posting, and you will get readers (though I won't be
one of them but that's only because I don't read any Sailor Moon).
