I Am The Best Writer!

	Um, no. You're not the best writer. It needs a spell checker bad, and 

you need

to check the plot, pal. It's more incoherent than a Baywatch episode. 

There is

no flow, no point, nothing makes sense.
	Besides, parodies are best done when its well written. The best 

parodies

take an existing work and flawless copy, sometimes better than the 

original work

itself. If you want an example, read one of Mr. Biles' parodies on a 

local

website near you, especially his "Lemon Sherbert." (On 
http://spoof.maison.otaku.net/)
	You want to make this parody fly? Then clean up the grammar and
spelling. Make the plot understandable, and then you'll have a much 

better work. 

*blink blink* Correct me if I'm wrong but  isn't that just completely 
fixing EXACTLY what he's trying to parody ? I mean come on ! He's making 
a joke on the original Oscar who was  :
A. A notorious bad speller.
B. Had no coherency  to his works . (not that we minded at the time as 
we were all trembling with disgust .)
and C. Probably the best reason to hate Self-inserts with big egos.
Now IMHO he parodied  all three of these things well. (a little TOO well 
as most of us are now  having  Oscar-flashbacks)
If  he took out the bad grammar and gave it an actual plot well....there 
is not much point to labelling it as a parody of Oscar's ( makes warding 
evil sign) work is there ?
