Some of you may have already known this but Eugenides has an Uncyclopedia page...of sorts. Er, just thought some of you would find it...interesting.

Date: 10/1/11 06:58 pm (UTC)This must be the Queen's Thief version of My Immortal (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/MyImmortal?from=Main.MyImmortal)
I'm guessing it's written by someone hyperactive who had to read the books for school.

Date: 10/2/11 02:13 am (UTC)Reading things for school is a mixed blessing, though. Classes have ruined a few good books. For instance, my sister was convinced the Eagle of the Ninth was horrible, because her teacher had made them stop every fine seconds to look up "difficult" words in the dictionary. Talk about missing the point of reading!
/rant :P

Date: 10/2/11 12:34 am (UTC)Welcome to Uncyclopedia (http://mirror.uncyc.org/wiki/Main_Page),
the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
It's not a serious site. It's the very opposite of a serious site. It's a site for silliness.
Re: Yes, it's a parody. And ....
Date: 10/2/11 01:24 am (UTC)A parody that misses its mark that badly is just useless.
Now, Legotollia: *that's* good parody!

Date: 10/2/11 04:17 am (UTC)Also that Uncyclopedia is kind of like a snowball: articles with jokes that fall flat for 80% of the population will naturally only attract the 20% that actually found them funny, who will go on to write more articles with the same type of humor.
As for Legotolia, it goes without saying! :)
