A Little Strike Chick Humor: Plus, an invitation to share any funny fan creations that you know of.

 

One of the best parts of being part of a fandom is getting to laugh about your favorite, or sometimes least favorite, aspects of your favorite series. It's why people come up with nicknames for characters like Matthew "Flobberworm" Cunliffe, Sarah Shagsalot, the Kimphomaniac and the SE Files' ludicrous moniker for the Sweary Therapist of Sleep Tight, Evangeline, Dr. Broccoli. A few Halloweens ago, there was a series of very funny adult costume memes created for Strike characters. 

When I was trying to create an AI image of the famous Christmas charm bracelet, I decided to also create the worst possible charm bracelet Strike could have given Robin.  I know I have seen a few other fan creations online, such as completed employee satisfaction reviews, posted in various online venues. 

So, last week, I responded to the call from The Strike and Ellacott Files to submit pictures of chickens that looked like Strike's assorted girlfriends, I got a little too enthusiastic about the endeavor, and wound up getting asked to submit a guest blog post, which you can find here.  Check it out; the article includes a few more of my thoughts on fan-created parody materials, as well as a few other links to some funny fan-fiction and character twitter accounts. 

If you know of any other good, fan-created Cormoran Strike humor pieces that are available on the internet, please drop a link in the comments.  I've love to have a centralized location for sharing, while we wait for Sleep Tight, Evangeline. It's going to be a long wait, and those of us determined to read the depressing Longfellow poem many need an antidote.
