The Novice Parody

By Lady Laura

I love BMT as much as any other fan. But whenever I read it, I can't help but think how parody-worthy the books are. So I couldn't resist spoofing some of the Dannyl/Tayend scenes in The Novice.

I mean no offence to Sonea/Akkarin fans in this first update. You will be happy to know I spend most of this story making fun of Dannyl and Tayend, and not Sonea and Akkarin :D

Blurb:

Lord Dannyl is the newly appointed Ambassador to Elyne, and a magician of the overly conservative and homophobic Guild. Dannyl (who claims he is not a lad), is eager to have a decent storyline and to do as little ambassadorial work as possible.

So when he meets stunning scholar Tayend of Tremmelin, (whom he most definitely does not have feelings for) Dannyl invites him along for a ride (on a ship) and they plan to share many wonderfully exciting (and completely non-sexual) adventures.

Together Dannyl and Tayend will face many dangers; including dubious courtiers, dodgy secret organisations, eating disorders, sexual harassment from various women, and of course, acrobats.

Can their friendship survive these adversaries? Is Dannyl hiding a deep dark secret? Why does Tayend not sleep with women, and more importantly, how is he so flexible? All these questions and more will be answered in: The Novice Parody.

WARNING: This parody contains mild swearing, references to sex and a disturbing amount of alcohol.

Praise for The Novice Parody:

"Far better than Lady Trudi's original book; which cruelly skipped over any sort of romantic details between lads, and left the slash fangirls fuming." – Dannyl/Tayend Fangirl

"Almost as good as Lord Ronan's The Ambassador's Mission Impossible... Almost." – Parody Expert

"The Novice Parody omits all the boring parts of Trudi's book - such as Sonea's tedious studies, Akkarin's brooding uselessness, and Rothen's constant fretting. In contrast, Lady Laura's book only deals with the best bits of the story – Dannyl and Tayend's daring adventures and hilarious misunderstandings." – Critical Fantasy Reviewer

"This book is sure to upset all the Sonea/Akkarin fangirls out there, as well as the Dannyl/Tayend haters. Well done Laura!" – Leader of the Sonea/Akkarin Hate Club

"This book was good, but it would have been better with more Akkarin." – Proud Akkarin Fangirl

"DO NOT READ THIS AWFUL EXCUSE FOR A PARODY!" – Lady Trudi

(Chapter 1 will be up soon :D )
