Has Kinsfire reponded to this?
If you want to read an unintentional "parody", try Harry Potter and Broken Wands by Vertex on fanfiction.net. It is almost as good as yours, except it tries to have a plot...

GOOD FOR A SNACK, BUT WHERE IS SUNRISE?

Dear Bob and Alyx,
I've been enjoying this parody.
I'm not sure whether you're deliberately slipping on some grammatical points as part of your parody. In case you're not:
"came back from it's walk-about" => "came back from its walk-about".
"it referenced something" => "it referred to something"
"he did what all intelligent Dark Lord’s do." ==> "he did what all intelligent Dark Lords do."

What a fine tale. Good for you, Alyx.

Sounds as if you're off to a great start. I look forward to reading the story itself. I enjoyed the introduction. I like that you mentioned that you highly recommend the individual authors whom you're parodying.

hmmm.hmmm. hmmmmmmm
Oh hello, I was just Musing about this odd parody of a parody when I hit a review section. for the sake of all cognnecient Authors and reviews everyway I'm afraid that It falls to me to aquiesc to the request of the many, whom I may or may not have polled before Expressing my opinion in the least coherent manner possible. after all, everyone knows that the reviewers have all the revelant information all the time, and Obviously if I make an attempt to use REALLY huge words I can't be your run-of-the-mill reviewer, Even if they are mis-spelled and out of context.

PS. Sorry I couldn't help myself, feel free to use or make fun of any part of this review if you like. These are the two types of reviews that annoy me the most.
Keep up the good work, I needed a few laughs.
Sincerly,
Manatheron

"Next to him stood Hermione and Ginny, both dressed in white bikinis, which, while looking really nice, were not adequate protection from the cold rain on the mountaintop. On the other hand, they both wore awesome utility belts with potions, wand holster, flash bang grenades and a built in condom dispenser."
It's the Dirty Pair!
(Anime reference, the Dirty Pair from the eponymous series were two heavily armed women who dressed on skimpy outfits and caused massive destruction. One was darkhaired and the other was a redhead)

I must protest. Your first chapter gives off the impression that a C cup is better than an A cup. In a world that is decadent and self-destructive, such views are common and encouraging them can only ultimately have bad results, towards individual women and to society as a whole. And given that plastic surgery is potentially detrimental to one's health, international statistics show that too many insecure women, products of this late generation, do it.
Despite this being fanfiction and thus 'fiction', do not underestimate the power of the pen. You are authors and have quite a respectable following; deal with it appropriately.

Weird, and I thought Bob's preludes to chapters for Sunset over Britain were weird. He has deffinitely topped himself! Of course behind every weird man is a stronger weirder woman! My hat is off to you Bob & Alyx! I believe I have seen or heard about all of the "situations" you mentioned in this peice!
Now can we get back to Sunrise over Britain? I want to hear the rest of the story!
(Of course that would mean Hope, TMW, Scion of Gryffindor, etc.) I really appreciate all your talents and story lines. Thank you for the entertainement.

You missed the one that has been driving me nuts lately: dieing. No, you fools! it's "dying". "Dieing" means "to cut or stamp as with a die". Ugh. The sad thing is, most of the people who make these mistakes claim English as their native language. But, I gotta say, when they write in Gibberish, we're only capable of reading in Bewilderment.

I think I was in a good/whimsical mood when I read your story just now, giggled all the way through it. Thanks for the laughter.
I don't think you hit the authors spot-on though. Forgive me - I'm just an impudent mortal reader - but it seems to me that Old-Crow's stories always have:
a) lots of FOOD in them. Paragraphs upon paragraphs of what they ate, what Harry cooked, what courses they sat down to consume wherever they go.
b) dialogue where one or other other parties always says something like "have a nice day" or "enjoy your day". Always. A minister calls, Harry talks to a subordinate, at the end of the exchange "Enjoy your day". Just a little peeve of mine, what I've noticed.
And surely no Kinsire story is complete without roughly a million pages (exaggerating) of melodramatic self-deprecating monologue from our hero? Usually about half a story's worth?
I've only read Sunset of yours, not your earlier two stories, so I can only suggest on just the basis of your last effort that a Bob & Alyx tale isn't complete without a drastically OOC Draco or an interpretation of the prophecy that doesn't make sense (waiting until they're equals?!?!?!?!).
Thanks for the parody, all good stuff.

ROTFL! You get right to the heart of satire with no wasted effort, that's for sure! Nice Wallace and Gromit reference, as well.

This is so damn funny. I mean damn it this is out of the ordinary.

This is the greatest fan fiction ever written!! It incredible.
One suggestion: Ginny/Hermion/Jello Wrestling

I know I bugged you to do Tim on your yahoo group, but now I'm reduced to begging. And since you got Kinsfire, how about Dorothy? :)
This chapter was great. I loved Yoda losing his cool and commenting on Hermione. You know, this whole fic has had her boobs commented on in every chapter... I sense a thread here. :)
Good work!
