Revision as of 14:45, 25 March 2006
Metroid High School is the most successful fan fiction ever written by a member of the Blank Club. After one short chapter, it collected 12 reviews in less than 3 months. Another chapter is currently scheduled for late March/early April 2006. It is a parody of many poorly fan fictions with IM speak and ill-conceived plots. Metroid High School, as the name suggests, features the familiar characters in High School, but with a twist—the "baig dance" is coming up and Ridley summons the courage to inquisit Samus as a date. The full transcript can be found here. An exerpt is shown below.
Exerpt
Chapter One: The Big Dance
It was three days before the baig dance. Ridley walked up to Samus. He was really nervous. He had never gone on a date before and Smaus was really, really, pretty. So he finally got enough courage and went up to her locker.
“Uhhh Samus?”
Samus looked up. “What do u want?”
“Uhhhh… Do you… uhh. Dd.. d… do you want to… go.. to the dance with me?”
Samus said “Okay”
Theories
Metroid High Schools great popularity can be attributed to the genius of the parody. Dr. D (AKA 111SAMUSRIDLEY4EVA2006) uses several ways to make his story seem like "the real thing." He uses atrocious spelling and grammar, along with frequent typos, such as "baig," "Smaus," "llater," and "reely." There were also many missing punctuation marks (or incorrect ones). Dr. D brilliantly used many different words in lieu of "said" shown below:
Samus said thought Ridley voice sneered exclaimed Ridley Samus inquisited? Samus responded Kraid declared answered Samus Ridly proposed? She declared samus alleged Ridley declared inquired Samus? Samus Descirbed ridley exclaimed thought ridley
A bizzare example of a fanfiction with the same plot but without the parody can be found here.
