The Distraction Alliance
The Distraction Alliance is a zany series of an unspecified (probably until the author gets bored of the setting) number of short books written by jukyter. It is set on a distant future where robots have taken over the world (Played for Laughs, of course, in the first book with references to Terminator and [[2001: A Space Odyssey-this is written by a troper). But unlike most of this type of work, there is no hope for salvation for humankind, since they have evolved into a number of species, including Minis (small people) and Yinyanas (banana-shaped savages, though that notion is dispelled by a kind-hearted tribe of Yinyanas in the first book, though there is an evil one).
Currently, the second second book is in progress (the first second book was uninspired) called The Way, a martial arts movie parody.
The first one is hosted here and here, though the second book has an exclusivity deal with the first site and is hosted here.
- Action Girl: Death to Amelia Earhart
- Affectionate Parody: Both current books of, respectively, Gone Horribly Wrong and martial arts movies.
- Gone Horribly Wrong: This series just is.
- Metamorphosis: Death to Amelia Earhart
- Played for Laughs: Basically the whole series but particularly noticeable in the 'Dear Diary' chapter, with references to the Terminator. It also has a very unprofessional prophecy and slightly parodies the 19th Century Enid Blyton and the like novels, with a dash of diary parody.
- Where the Hell Is Springfield?: the 'Free Country' and the 'Wastelands'.
