OK, how's this:
"Moonlight, deflected from the crescent orb that floated weightlessly like a tiny ship lost in the vast inky ocean that is space, glinted off jeweled harness, illuminated pale, stern faces 'neath steel helmets, and washed feebly o'er the nametags fixed firmly to each mailed breast; Cliche, Purple Prose, Bad Sequel, and Plagiarism put spurs to their mighty steeds and reared up as one, bellowing a battle-cry that no mortal ear could hear, as the Four Horsemen Of The Literary Apocalypse galloped, silent and unheeded, through the deserted library, and the one who is called Daytime Television rode with them."

As they round the turn at Self Help Books going into the back stretch, Purple Prose leads Cliche by a nose, with Daytime TV coming up fast on the outside.

So where's fan fiction's horse?

R U kidding? Fan-Fic would be in the bar out of the rain & sleet, having a brew and watching the action on the big screen tv! Belly up to the bar... Northern Dancer's Secretariat Cigar. Horse butts passing methane regularly to sweeten the atmosphere and having a RPG game going on the side! :D :D :D
Antimatter Girl:
The sad thing is, I am genuinely curious as to how most of these stories would develop o.O
Either I am amused entirely too easily, or some of these are so bad that they're really, in fact, good ^.^
Hooray for camp!
