Literature: The Distraction Alliance

The Distraction Alliance is a zany series of an unspecified (probably until the author gets bored of the setting) number of short books written by jukyter. It is set on a distant future where robots have taken over the world (Played for Laughs, of course, in the first book with references to Terminater and Space Odessy: 2001-this is written by a troper). But unlike most of this type of work, there is no hope for salvation for humankind, since they have evolved into a number of species, including Minis (small people) and Yinyanas (banana-shaped savages, though that notion is dispelled by a kind-hearted tribe of Yinyanas in the first book, though there is an evil one).Currently, the second second book is in progress (the first second book was uninspired) called The Way, a martial arts movie parody.The first one is hosted here

, though the second book has an exclusivity deal with the first site and is hosted here

This book series contains examples of:

Action Girl: Death to Amelia Earhart
Affectionate Parody: Both current books of, respectively, Gone Horribly Wrong and martial arts movies.
Gone Horribly Wrong: This series just is.
Metamorphosis: Death to Amelia Earhart
Played for Laughs: Basically the whole series but paticularly noticable in the 'Dear Diary' chapter, with references to the Terminator. It also has a very unprofesional prophecy and slightly parodies the 19th Century Enid Blyton and the like novels, with a dash of diary parody.
Where The Hell Is Springfield?: the 'Free Country' and the 'Wastelands'.
