Ok peoples, this is my first contest, hopefully I get everything a'ight.
So I love satires and parodies right? Right. And now, I'd like to see some of the amazing writers here, come up with some. You can satire or parody whatever you like, books, movies, real life events, anything. I know about all sorts of things, so most should make sense, but if you are doing some obscure subject, please put in your notes sections what you're satiring/parodying, and I can look it up, so the story makes more sense, and I don't get lost.
Remember, this is for satires/parodies, NOT fan-fic, I DO NOT want fan-fics. It's fine taking characters and poking fun at them, twisting their names, but please, the last thing I want to read is a HP fan-fic.
Ok, now to the rules, fairly out of the box.
1: I likes my spelling and grammar, so please don't abuse it, but I won't throw you out if you make mistakes.
1: DuNno HOw ThE HEll oNe caN TypE Like THIs...
1: No gay/lesbian/erotic stuff, I really don't like it, and you stand a high chance of being Disqualified if you use it.
1: I'm not to strict on language, minor swearing like Damn, Bugger, Hell, the likes, are fine. Please no "full on" swearing, I'd rather not read it.
1: Please put in your author notes, what you are satiring/parodying. I'm sure I could work it out, but I like to be sure.
1: Have fun!

Yar, I'm aware there is a difference. Not the clearest on EXACTLY what it is. Haha
-
-
lol Satire usually makes fun of (or puts to a creative light)political happenings and problems. Parody is like what Weird Al does to songs.
-
-
Ok, most of that I knew, but I hadn't realised that it was more to do with poking fun at politics. I thought it was more general poking fun at things
Edited now, to cover parodies as well

Meaniepants, yup, that about sums me up.

awww xD
I prefer smartiepants. -
-
Heh, alright, my bad. Meaniepants AND smartiepants, that fully sum me up... Ah-hah.
-
-
Now if I didn't think you'd shoot me to death, I'd make a reference to licking the smarties off your pants.
-
-
Wait, so that wasn't a reference?
Hahaha. -
-
welll, I didn't actually do it which I would have if you hadn't made that rule, so you can't shoot me to death 'cause of homophobia =)
