Elena (adult question)

[Spring]

I think it is irrelevant. She probably was, however.

i just don't see the value in this line of thread is all. i personally feel that it demeans SRD's work.

Obviously, you have not yet found the "As the World Burns" thread ...

[the bourgeois bee]

lord in heaven, i just found it. kill me now.
what is that stuff called? that genre where people take other people's stories and change them, with sex? it's not snuff, but something like that.

[Nerdanel]

I think you are looking for the word "parody".

[wayfriend]

Actually, I think that the word he's looking for is 'slash', or slash fiction.

[Nerdanel]

I know what slash is, but "that genre where people take other people's stories and change them, with sex" is a very unsuccessful description of either slash or "As the World Burns" (which has very significant het elements, among other things).

The word bourgeouis bee should have been looking for to describe "As the World Burns" is "parody" since it's a very funny thread (intentionally!). I think I can say that since all but one episode are written by people other than me.

[the bourgeois bee]

slash, that's the stuff. parody makes comment on an issue/event using humour. plus it's clever. slash is what trekkies and comic book fans use in lieu of a sex life or originality. parody has to be more than funny and "as the world burns" isn't.
p.s nerdanel, i read your post......

Linden: What are the Demondim doing? I can't quite make it out.

Stave: I believe they are "making out".

TC: "Make love, not war..." I wouldn't have expected that of the Demondim. We were going to have a war and then no one came.

The Voice: It appears that the Demondim are coming vigorously and with great pleasure, if you get my drift.

Truly inspired, but parody?

[I'm Murrin]

parody makes comment on an issue/event using humour.

par·o·dy
n. pl. par·o·dies
1. A literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule.

[Nerdanel]

Murrin is right. Also, I was referring to SRD's past as a conscientious objector in the Vietnam war by reusing some hippie slogans.

[wayfriend]

BTW, all I said was that 'slash' was the word he was looking for. I didn't say that it was an appropriate word.

The KW Soap isn't slash because, AFAIK, the main characters aren't portrayed as gay (are they?)

Finally, let's remember, Joy is in the ears that hear: it ain't parody if you don't think it's funny.

[the bourgeois bee]

I didn't know the characters in slash had to be gay. (you learn something new every five minutes in here)

All I remember when I first read the Illearth War was that it was a very creepy scene because Elena's description really turned me on but it was HIS OWN FREAKIN DAUGHTER sired by raping her mother!!!!!

INCEST . . . dark bizarre . . . weird!!!
