> 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/ ).

> 1. A Favourite Story That You Wrote

At the moment, I would probably say Final Strike 1, though I promise at least part of FS 2 is sitting on my hard drive, waiting to be finished.
>
> 2. A Favourite Story That Someone Else Wrote

Andy's Evil Monkey story, just because it was so atypical of things he generally writes.

> 3. A Forgotten Under-Rated Classic That People Might Have Overlooked

I do not particularly remember the title, or anything, but it was by Mark, and it involved spiffy, Yo, DK, and a birthday party, and Yo smashed cake in DK's face in a good-natured way while he said "I hate everything"--it's just always stuck out as one of the best comedic scenes in the history of the board, to me.

Though that's gotta pay hell with kevlar cleaning bills.

> 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 period”, 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.
