It's funny.
Very frequently, people post funny-ish stories, based on absolutely nothing at all.
They involve SR forum members, and are basically just stories with some humour.
This, however, is not the definition of a spoof.
A spoof's proper name is a parody.
Now, many of these "spoofs" posted on SR are nothing of the kind.
A parody is a story, twisted around another to humourous effect.
OK, 0069 - The Porn is Not Enough was one, but really, that's the only one I can remember at the moment.
Of course, it was based around 007, but what are these other spoofs based on?
I really couldn't say a lot of the time......
So, what I'm saying is, someone, do a real spoof, a good 'ol proper parody, that is even remotely based on a book/film/TV Programme/Topic.

I've never done a spoof. I've done stories with humour.
Well, some. The rest are stories. Minus the humour.

Both my spoofs have been take-offs of popular BBC comedies.

Oh and Ant mate, that wasn't for you....

You really are an idiot, yes?
I wan't taking a dig at absolutely no-one, I was merely stating that the stories that go under the category of spoof, are, infact, not spoofs at all.

My entry to the Spoof Off will be a funny story, not a spoof.
It will be based on nothing but my insane mind.
