Parodies are strange things. On the one hand they can be entertaining when in the right mood, but more often than not, they feel more like rip-offs than anything else, with painfully forced humour that can drive you mad.

Serena Nelson writes: "Kickstarter is well-known for being a platform to get ideas funded by fans and without the need to have a publisher breathing down their collective necks. And while it should be enough to give from the kindness of one's own heart there still needs to be a carrot dangling from the stick to make backers reach deep into their wallets. And that's where the reward tiers come into play."
