Ya, I mean, no offense, but I personally wouldn't call substituting a few Starcraft-themed words into The Raven literary genius, lol. But it was funny, so nice work

100% agree. This was fabulous, I can't imagine how long it took to write. This is one of the best literature parodies I have ever read, thanks so much for sharing. I think I will have to go back through your previous blogs as your writing style even from the comments on this post is phenomenal.

I wasn't going to answer this, because frankly I spend an embarrassing amount of time putting together a post when I feel like I've had an idea good enough to play with. This one wasn't actually all that bad, but it was kind of a fluke.

I just got lucky with the portrait, the first two pictures I snagged from Google images were exactly what I was looking for and clipped together well (yes, that is hair clipped from a portrait of Poe) and all I needed to do then was a little cloning and learn how to add grain in photoshop (these blogs are the only time I really use photoshop, so I learn something new everytime).

Photo: 15-20 minutes

Text: About 45 minutes, but I browsed TL and played around on Twitter throughout to stop me getting bored



Very glad people like it, there's always the chance that things will rub people the wrong way

I started laughing when I realized the title said "...Edgar Allen Probe"

Amazing work :D

Is it weird I read that whole thing in Day9's voice? Nonetheless it was quite epic.

I think you should change the two "morrow" to "MorroW" or mouz.MorroW

Great stuff this. Made me think of an Mad-adaption of this poem..

I loved it.

However, I think it is actually counterproductive to your quest for a star to ask for it. Your work should speak for itself - "Damn that post was good, this guy needs a star".

You totally killed the rhyme scheme.

Ya, and he often replaces two-syllable words with four-syllable words, etc :D

Anything like this about Starcraft is fun to read, though.
