so as you may have guessed, this is another forced entry. apparently parody is supposed to encompass all our thoughts and lives, if not at this point, soon. i don't understand why we're beating the shit out of this before we even start. why can't we try writing the parodies first and then analize what we did? or decide what we did wrong and fix it? god, this is so boring to me. i can't even sit still long enough to write it. i type a sentence, sing along to itunes, type another, get up and see how long the speakerwires are on my speakers (will need to buy more before i connect the stereo to the computer) type another sentence, fold a crane out of candy wrapper....
so anyway, parody is taking the structure of someone elses story and having your own characters and world live there. it's like the muppets doing a christmas carol. it's your own story, but it has the shape of someone elses. not that you're trying to write the story in there voice- it's more like, use your own voice to tell their story. or something like that. it's not that complicated, i don't think. am i being simplistic?
