We can still write parodies attacking public figures, right? otherwise the site submission rate will go waaaaaay down

It's already gonna go waaaaay down without the Malcolm parodies about Merry and Pippin... but he better keep writing more parodies like "Blood Bank"  :)

Quoting:
The Merry&Pippin thing has run it's course, and people are finding the "no attack parodies" rule a little confusing as a result. It's easier to just enforce the rule as "no attack parodies about other parody authors".  In general, if you don't follow the site on a regular basis, I'm sure the parodies about other parody authors, appear pretty meaningless.

this means no more songs about parodies either?

Quoting:
and i was going to do one about Rice and Watt :(

i mean, what if it's in a positive light? tributes are nice, it's like: you're good enough and popular enough so here's something nice for you.

oh well...:'(

I was actually working on a tribute to myself...dont ask why...but it was good...Im gonna miss writing about Merr-Pippen and Malcolm...and I was even planning a new "Amiright Rhapsody" to update from teh old one...but I cant do any of it any more...

you know, my biggest concerns are this:

1) Parodies about other parody authors, only appeal to other parody authors. This means, anyone who isn't a site regular, doesn't get it.

2) Legal issue (isn't that what things always come down to). Parodies attacking private individuals could be considred slander. It's ok to critisize public officials in the name of parody.

Tribute parodies are ok I guess, so long as things don't get out of hand. I'm trying not to make the site too clique-ish.

ok quick question.  am working on a song i call "Writer's Block" a parody to eminem "hailies song", but on the line i start to rap heres the first two lines:

Man and if I could write, I'd keep writing just like William Tong
If I could think the thoughts, I'd have close to five hundred songs

is this ok.  am, not bashing him since he's on top of the list.  and i think any new person that comes here and clicks the link should get it.  its not that hard

one more thing, I take it updating "amiright rhapsody" and submitting it would be considered a parody about other authors, right?
