Oh, I considered a Lemony Snicket pastiche, a word which here means a 
piece of third rate hack writing aimed at bringing a proper author 
into disrepute.  We have a day left.

The Leaky Cauldron has an item about an American newspaper that did a 
Dickens and a Shakespeare.

I liked those, also the Salinger.  I feel the best ones are those 
which show a knowledge of the books - e.g. the Salinger reference to 
Death Eaters.
