To elaborate, Jerry "Tycho" Holkins of ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'', in an attempt to parody the (what he considers to be) clichéd fiction that often serves as the background for gaming systems such as ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'', decided to pretend he had written an incredibly shallow fantasy series for a make-believe CollectibleCardGame (as seen in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/2005/11/07 this strip]].) Thus was ''Hierarchs'' born. Making a few comics to illustrate how he would write bad fantasy novels, he set up a wiki and invited readers of ''Penny Arcade'' to flesh it out with all the glorious StylisticSuck they could invent. They rose right to the challenge. According to him, the wiki set to make a point about the superficiality of such fiction, but also as an acknowledgement that fandom willingly buy the products regardless of they believe the quality will be like, claiming the website is "the joke that everyone is in on".

* CreatorBreakdown: [[invoked]]Tycho binged on drugs and booze while writing the last novel, as he saw what he regarded as a bunch of waste-of-paper tie-in novels gaining acceptance and success. The finale of the anime involved a GainaxEnding after the director deliberately attempted to replicate the same binge to make a fitting conclusion.
