A Idiots' Guide
Four strangers. One wrong email. And a global crisis they have absolutely no business being involved in. When a retired teacher, a mall "tech expert," a stressed-out single mom, and a conspiracy podcaster accidentally get looped into a classified government thread, they do what any reasonable people would do - panic, lie, and pretend they know what's going on. Within a week, they're being hailed as national heroes for "foiling" a cyber-attack they didn't even know existed. The only problem? The government now expects them to do it again. The Idiots' Guide is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy about ordinary people caught in extraordinary stupidity. It's part spy thriller, part social satire, and all chaos - proving that sometimes, the world doesn't need geniuses... it just needs idiots with Wi-Fi and A personality
Detergent {Divergent Parody}
The first you should know is that this is a VERY short version of Divergent; and it's been called the "best parody on here" by several different users. Don't believe me? I shall prove it. ************************ In Trisha Pretor's dystopian Toronto, society is divided into two ranks, both dedicated to a particular virtue— the Clean, who value appearance and wealth, and are judged harshly; and the Unclean, who are more casual and have a lower expectation, and live in poverty. Once they've matured, and have black eyes, teens are required to enter a virtual reality to determine which rank they are better suited for. Trisha discovers that she is Detergent, having an equal aptitude for each rank, while most people can only endure one. The next day they choose which rank they will devote the rest of lives to. Trisha must decide whether she wants to stay dark, dreary world of the Unclean, (with her family, while denying her true self) or if she wants to embrace who she is at heart. Training is highly competitive, and causes stress for all of the Trainers. Trisha adopts a new name for herself,“Bee”. She tries to discover the truth of who her friends are, who she really is, and how she where a secret, forbidden romance with a sometimes amazing, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen for herself. She’s got a deep secret, and she’s heard that it may be her downfall. Bee discovers that tensions between parts of the city are increasing, and they threaten to unravel her society–not just one of the ranks. She finds that her closely guarded secret could either save her life, and that of those she cares about— or destroy her.Complete

Three Little Boys
Doug Morrell: playboy, secret agent and saviour of the human race. And he's only fifteen years old. And he's not really any of those. The teenage years are difficult enough to navigate for most children, but troubled Doug's tried and tested method is simply to retreat into his weird and twisted 'fantasy world' when the pressure of life gets too much. And, now that he's started his - third - senior school in as many years, nothing is on his mind more than escaping this 'correctional facility' he's found himself incarcerated in - unless of course he can woo Allison Barnes - the most popular girl in his class. He knows that the two of them are destined to be together forever, even if the last 'popular' girl in his old school didn't see it that way (and the one before her). So join Doug as he tries to finish his GCSE years on a high while attending the school his younger - and definitely not more likeable or talented - brother, Dave, also attends. An ordinary secondary comprehensive in outer London is about to become the setting for Doug's super-spy alter-ego 'Doug Holster' to save the girl and undertake the ultimate battle between Good and Evil (in other words whether he can actually get Allison to talk to him without giggling while coming up with a believable excuse for not playing football at break times with the other boys).Complete
