![]() I think if any rabid Twilight fans have read it, they would might just think "Oh, well I can see that THIS plot is stupid, but Twilight isn't this bad, so it must be great literature." and go on their merry way. I was just disappointed, because Twilight is so easy to parody as it is the writers did not need to branch off of the actual story to point out how ridiculous it was. It eventually just turned into an over-the-top story of it's own and I didn't compare it to Twilight at all. I completely lost that when reading Nightlight. They have done a parody of anything and everything. ![]() The Harvard Lampoon has been around nearly 300 years and was initially modeled on the British humor magazine Punch. ![]() One of the best parts of a good parody is knowing exactly what it's making fun of as you read it. Harvard Universitys humor and satire magazine has a spoof of Twilight coming out entitled Nightlight. Once they established that it was about a girl who moves to another town to live with her dad and meets this guy at school, the plot completely branches off and has nothing to do with Twilight. Really, the only think they kept constant were a few of the characters and the setting. I just didn't find it funny largely because they didn't leave enough of it the same. ![]()
