I was saving this for a confession thread but i've never seen an episode of Star Trek. Perhaps when i was really, really young but as far as i know i have never actually seen a full episode of Star Trek.
But simply parodying a thread's title seemed kinda... small, ya know, so i tried to in some way do something more complex, not just add/remove strength from a title by parodying it but using the technique to create something new. Kind of like... so there's this quote i always think of that goes "If the broad landscape refuses to compose itself economically within the viewfinder's rectangle, the photographer contrives a different but consonant subject, composed perhaps of two trees and a rock.", which is about struggling for control of the subject, and accepting that sometimes you need less to achieve more. Making all the parodies about a specific thing, i think it really helps the process of making them fun and interesting on a whole new level.
It becomes more about finding the parodies than inventing them.
