The story doesn't have to be a tight parody. Redlink is supposed to be a rather loose parody, as many of the characters are already quite different from their parodees, and some plot elements haved been altered.

Honestly, I think the loose parody is just as good as, if not better than, the tight parody. It adds some humor when a character who was strict and serious in the parodee book becomes silly or outgoing. In fact, it may add even more humor when you exaggerate a character's personality. Take Sister Alkamesh, for example. Her parodee is also strict and serious, but the parody's personality is exaggerated. Alkamesh has gone to the point of sadism and cruelty (in a humorous, clean way).

Of course, you don't have to do a loos eparody. Just write whatever fits you.  Yours "Falsely",   Explorer 767 ( The Nerd Quibbles On...  )    View this template   23:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
