SPOOF: The Sithlycrumb Younglings

[Darill Cyllem]

This is a star wars-style spoof of Edward Gorey's morbidly funny "The Ghashlycrumb Tinies." It is in 3 parts so that the images could come along for the fun (the font was cooler before I converted to pdf, too).

I'm (personally) pretty happy with the rhymes, but wish the images were better - would love to have pen and ink drawings a-la Gorey (fan art volunteers?).
(Hope I'm not the only one who's seen Gorey's original work, or this will seem even stranger than it is.)

I like all the characters depicted here - this is not meant to be a flame work... all in fun.
Hope you get a laugh.
May the Force be with you.

Some teaser lines to get you interested (maybe):

A is for Anakin who got really mad.
B is for Boba whose jetpack was bad.

C is for Chewie, squashed by a moon.
D is for Dack, crushed on a snow dune.

No one knows who Edward Gorey is, do they?
It's not as funny otherwise.
(sigh)

Ahahaha, this was great. I had forgotten all about Gorey until reading these. This would make an excellent kids Star Wars primer.

I especially liked Maul to Needa.

Those are my favs, too! I'm so pleased to get a post :)

I have been working as a critic for the Lucasforums and Star Wars Knights web site for over a year now, but I do not have the time to read your work online. Could you send me a copy to my e-mail so i can review it?

[Miasmo]

Great work, DC. A few kind of seemed forced, but most of it felt eerily smooth.

Q is for Qui-Gon, who parried too late;
R for the rancor, smashed by a gate.Also, "unwilling dive" and "red five". :ok:

[Darill Cyllem]

Thanks, Miasmo! It was difficult to come up with characters for some of the letters - like I. That one's not great.

Any suggestions for better characters (i tried to stick to the movies, even though some of the unfortunate events are EU) are certainly welcome - or other rhyme suggestions.
Go on, it's fun!

I don't spend too much time in the fan fiction threads (as I am spending enough time trying to read the EU), hence I missed this thread until now. It's a great idea D.C. (must be the teacher in you!) and I really enjoyed reading them! :)

[Darill Cyllem]

Aw, shucks, JMH!

The original idea is Gorey's, i feel i should point out...
I'm glad you enjoyed, in any case.
i know it's a pain to download them.

*bump*
Well, why not....
:bye:

[Darth Massacrus]

Amazing, DC! This is one of the best fan writings I've ever read (come to think of it, your Sithlycrumb's are better than a lot of actual EU stories I've read...)

[Darill Cyllem]

Thanks, DM :)

It was pretty fun to write, i have to admit.
I was just remembering it the other day, and decided to bump the thread.
