Parodyverse Hall of Fame
It’s time for us to nominate the stories we’ve most enjoyed on the Parodyverse over the last 10 years. If possible include a repost or link to the story (most of the material is available in the archive by year at http://www.chillwater.org.uk/HH/archive/others/ ).
What you need to do is list for us:
1. A Favourite Story That You Wrote
2. A Favourite Story That Someone Else Wrote
3. A Forgotten Under-Rated Classic That People Might Have Overlooked
People could choose multi-part storylines if they choose, but if so please go for one definitive, representative chapter.

So, to kick off, here are my nominations:
Of my stories, one I quite enjoy is
Untold Tales #200: The Feast of Yule and Other Anomalies, in which very nearly our entire cast spend Christmas at the home of Sir Mumphrey Wilton and interact. Sure, it leads into a bizarre murder mystery, but at the time I just had fun having everybody bounce off everybody else – in some cases literally.
In the “someone else†category I’ve gone for
Untold Vignettes of the Post-Transworlds Challenge #4: Appraisals, by Visionary during his major “Caphan periodâ€Â, in which the newly-arrived green-skinned alien slave girls settle down to living in Vizh’s condo. This features some prime Vizh humour but also has deeper thematic content that elevates it to literature; and also it has girls trying on bikinis.
And finally, for an “overlooked†story I’ve selected
The Intermittent Adventures of De Brown Streak Giant-Sized #50: This Time With Lair Legion vs Botherhood of Evil Mutates and De Brown Streak’s Finest Three Nonoseconds!, DBS’ full last story for the PV, and a fine example of the “script†style of comedy writing that’s formed so much of the board’s memorable content. This one has it all – laughs, thrills, triumph, tragedy, and women in tight lace-up bustiers.
I hope you enjoy them.
