In my experience, most parodies of bestseller cults leave me thinking “Dude, if you hate the source material that much, why not do what I do and don’t read it?” (Of course, when I read parodies of bestseller cults I’m actually familiar with, I think “Oh, you didn’t.”)
Y’know, we still need to find out just why Shelby was up there at the safe house…I like to think he couldn’t bear to be parted from the cobras, it’s the romantic in me, but some of his comments suggest some other explanation
So wait till they build something and then eat it before they can destroy it!
With baby oil!
Wouldn’t any oil used there technically be baby oil?
You gots to use the right oil. Olive oil with baby? Bleh.
Fried in oil?
I tried to find the Unity/ baby oil page, but Google was unhelpful…
Still a better love story than Twiligh- waitaMINUTE!
Beat me to it! I’m only a little surprised that Unity has a psychic bond with Bubbles, since as far as I know, they’ve only had “coffee” together.
Cripes! How did I miss a day?

I suppose supernatural romance parody has to be a subgenre of some sort, but is any of it any good? I would be tempted.
Off topic, I finally read Nick’s old Livejournal and I don’t regret it.

That’s where the Harvard Lampoon’s Bored of the Rings comes in.
“‘Do you like what you doth see,’ said the voluptuous elf-maiden, as she parted the folds of her robe, revealing the shadowy glories within….” XD
“Awoken” by Serra Elinsen is terrible, but that’s kind of the point. I thought it was pretty great.
Thanks for the pointer, Jake! (Eb)
IIRC, there’s a series written as ‘twilight, but with Cthulhu instead of a sparkling vampire’. Supposed to be pretty funny.
Goblin smut to the rescue again.
Well, after Sweetheart’s comparison, I sure feel confused…

Yeah, something ain’t right. But what? Any ideas?
They say that strange minds think alike. And if this ain’t strange, what is?
Unity deserves someone with more personality, anyway.
