Line 65:
* ''[[Light and Dark - The Adventures of Dark Yagami]]'', which the author admitted on the "fandomsecrets" site was just an exercise in bashing out nonsense. To their chagrin, it was the author's most popular work.
* Stealth Parodies run the risk of [[Poe's Law|being assumed to be serious]] by the management. ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2333349/1/The_Best_Highschool_Fic_Ever_Reloaded The Best Highschool Fanfic Ever!]'' was deleted in its first incarnation because of its spelling errors, which were, naturally, part of the satire.
* The above risk was exploited in a different manner by Farla. Using a pen name, she wrote ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20080410183948/http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=105650 Lucki]'', a [[Take That]] aimed at both writers of [[Mary Sue]]s and [[Take That, Audience!|the fandom that enables them]]. She does this by writing a so-called "Middling Sue", not over-the-top in any particular way, who was not recognized as such by the forum community and was in fact praised and defended against her in-story critics. {{spoiler|The [[Black Hole Sue|distortion of the world around Lucki]] is dispersed at the end [[Painting the Fourth Wall|through the influence of an Absol]]}}.
* The creator of ''[[Legolas By Laura|legolas by laura]]'' allegedly at one point claimed the fic was a Stealth Parody, but another time tried to excuse the horrificness by claiming she had learning difficulties. Another theory is that she was simply a lot younger than she claimed to be - she said she was fifteen, but the relentless run-on "and then" sentence structure suggest nine- or ten-year-old. It's unknown what its true status is.
* It's to hoped that [[So Bad It's Good]] ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' fanfiction ''[[Starkit's Prophecy]]'' is a [[Troll Fic]], or else a cause to weep for civilisation.
