The State of the... Fandom
WHEE! Here's part of a parody I'm doing. It's hard work, because some of it's so stupid it's not fun to write. And I want to address lots of issues, but that might make the stupid thing have lots of chapters. So... here's what I have so far! (*beam*)
It was a beautiful day in Domino. Could it have just been a mediocre day? Or perhaps a day that had the potential to be beautiful but was really just a dull, dreary day like all the others in the year? No! Of course it was beautiful! No other day would make a setting perfect enough for the two exquisite characters that I have the privilege to introduce.
In a small (but oh so homey!) house, there lived two young sisters. What about parents? No, they were gone on some “business” trip to accommodate the girls’ need to invite strange boys over and have adventures that most parental units would not have approved of. (a/n: Parents can be so annoying sometimes, right? And don’t you just LOVE it when an author interrupts the story to fill you in on some mindless, inane fact that you probably knew already or could have figured out for yourself? Yeah, that just adds SO much to the story. I know I love it. I mean God... I can’t get enough!)
So yes. The two girls were in their bedroom, getting ready for a day of school. They were twins, but not identical. In fact, they were very different! The first was a girl named Mary. (a/n: Isn’t Domino in Japan? “Mary” sounds- somehow- out of place. But ahh! ‘Tis my fiction so I can screw with the world any way I please!) She was very kind and very lovely.
Let’s take a look at what’s in fair Mary’s head, shall we?
Mary’s (a/n: VERY REALISTIC!) P.O.V.
My sister and I were in our room, getting dressed for school. I do so enjoy school; I learn so much and get to make so many friends! Most people like me- I really like when people like me! My sister says that I can be silly, but I think that the poor dear’s just too serious, herself. I smiled to myself, thinking of how much I loved my sister.
I walked into my big, walk-in closet. (a/n: Ooh, I know I’m impressed!) I pulled a tight, orange tanktop that fit perfectly to all the curves of my upper body- and it had the cutest little kitty on it- off the hanger. I admired my perfect form in the mirror; but the shirt just didn’t look as spectacular as it could, so I decided to get something else. I pulled off a ...- (a/n: Hmm, now as much as I know I would LOVE to hear about Mary’s clothing choices- and we all know that we ALL describe our clothing to ourselves in our innermost thoughts- I wouldn’t want our other character to feel left out.)
3rd Person P.O.V.
The other sister was vastly different from Mary. Her name was Sue. She wasn’t like Mary- not all sunshine and fluffy bunnies and save the world. Oh no. She was a unique, non-conformist rebel with a bad attitude. She wore lots of black (a/n: Because yes, that makes her DIFFERENT!) and had long, luxurious tresses that reached the middle of her back. She had pulled on a tight fitting shirt that said something that the readers don’t care about, and wore pants that really don’t need to be described. All her friends were just like her, but they were so much better than the friendly people who dressed in bright colors at their school.
“Sue,” Mary said cheerfully, “Are you almost ready?”
“Shut the hell up,” Sue said, hating her sister for her perkiness. “I’m ready when I’m ready.”
“Ok then!” Mary replied with a smile. “Sorry to have bothered you then!”
Sue gazed at her sister with her large, lovely, blue-ish, azure, cornflower, indigo, ocean-tinted orbs. (a/n: YES! Another story that uses the word “orbs”! That’s a mark of good fiction right there. You know you’re gonna love when such fancy words are used. And said “orbs” are so well described, too.) “Just do whatever it is you’re doing, Mary. We gotta go soon.”
Isn't that just scrumptious? I really wanna post it to see how many people DON'T realize it's a parody. Heh heh.
