1''Obscurus Lupa Wins the Olympics'' is a parody fic by [[Tropers/DoublemintDisaster Giga Bob]] which can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7465453/1/Obscurus_Lupa_Wins_The_Olympics here]].

3WebVideo/ObscurusLupa wins the Olympics in the first sentence, and it only gets stranger from there. The chapters are a combination of general parodies of {{fanfiction}} tropes (such as [[SlashFic slash]], [[AuthorAvatar self-insert characters]] and {{shipping}}) as well as specific parodies of [[Fanfic/MyImmortal other]] [[Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences notorious]] [[Fanfic/ThirtyHs fics]], mixed with [[CrackFic pure and utter insanity]]. The story itself has been gaining more popularity ever since it was mentioned by Obscurus Lupa herself (Allison Prengler, B-movie reviewer on Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses) in her commentary for the review of ''Simon Sez'' that she did with WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic (Creator/DougWalker).

5!!Tropes found in this fic include...
6* AuthorAvatar: Robert.
7* AuthorAppeal: [[HumongousMecha Giant robots]] show up a lot for no real plot-related reason.
8* BackFromTheDead: WebVideo/{{Phelous}}, but that's pretty common.
9* BeigeProse
10* BigNO!: ""Nooo!" Lupa screamed while gesturing to the sky."
11* CrackFic
12* {{Crossover}}: Several, with ''Series/DoctorWho'' being the most notable.
13* DramaticEllipsis: [[Fanfic/MyImmortal "It was.......Phelous!"]]
14* DramaticReading: So far there are two on Website/{{Youtube}}: one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugTR7AaVUWY& here]] and an illustrated version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HewLVbU9-2I& here]]
15* DirtyOldMan: Mark Sevi.
16* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Done a lot with Lupa and WebVideo/{{Phelous}}.
17* FieryRedhead: Lupa
18* {{Heaven}}: They go there in Chapter 9.
19* InNameOnly: Much like ''Fanfic/CloudMowsTheLawn'', this fic has very little to do with the Olympics past the first chapter.
20* IntergenerationalFriendship: Lupa and Creator/ChristopherLee.
21* InteractiveNarrator: Chapter 4 has Lupa directly talk to the narrator, while Chapter 11 has her and Phelous beat up a [[AuthorAvatar direct avatar]] of the author.
22* LargeHam: The Master (literally at one point), Lupa, Phelous, the Dark One and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic.
23* MetaFic
24* MetaGuy: Phelous, already has this trait. Lupa has her moments, mostly due to the [[NoFourthWall lack of a fourth wall]].
25* MythologyGag: [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]] is referred to as "Ralph", referencing a mistake on his Website/IMDb page where he was inexplicably listed as [[AccidentalMisnaming Ralph Oancitizen]].
26* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: All over the place. Most notably, Phelous gets the ability to [[MesACrowd summon clones of himself]] and combine with them into a super-sized version of himself.
27* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demon]] [[StupidJetpackHitler Robot]] [[{{Ghostapo}} Ghost]] [[ThoseWackyNazis Hitler]].
28* NoodleIncident: Lupa mentions a night out with WebVideo/EightiesDan that led to a restraining order.
29* {{Sidekick}}: Phelous to Lupa, [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Ralph Oancitizen]] to Phelous, [[Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate Torgo]] to the Master and Jesus to God.
30* PalsWithJesus: Lupa and Jesus ''[[CrackFic punch out The Devil together.]]''
31* SelfDeprecation: Giga Bob takes several shots at himself and the perceived quality of the fic, including writing himself in as a whiny ManChild.
32* ShoutOut: Tons, ranging from a mecha called King [[Manga/GetterRobo Getter]][[Anime/GaoGaiGar Gai]][[Anime/MazingerZ Zinger]] Kaiser [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lagann]] X, to [[Videogame/FinalFantasyVII fighting the Knights of Round]] to cribbing lines from ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' and other fanfics.
33* StalkerWithACrush: WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows and [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall 90's Kid]], as well as WebVideo/EightiesDan and 70's Dude.
34** And in the illustrated reading, one of the ninjas has one on Phelous.
35* OfficialCouple: Lupa and Phelous. Since they're dating in real life, it makes sense.
36* OriginalCharacter: Many, but most notably Robert, a [[SelfInsertFic Self-Insert]] parody.

40* WordOfGod: An extra chapter called [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7465453/13/Obscurus_Lupa_Wins_The_Olympics Author's Notes and Commentary]] explains the [[AllThereInTheManual backstory, writing process]] and [[DontExplainTheJoke some of the jokes]] in the fic.
