Sorry about the double post. FF flood controlled me. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

I have just read some truly awful parodies. If you want to write a parody, write it satirically and with evidence that you have a certain amount of intelligence as well as the points you have to make. It's hard to write an effective parody but don't bring the mockery on yourself by showing that you know little to nothing about the film/book/show while deluding yourself that you do.

And I agree that characterisation makes or breaks the fanfiction. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
