Genre Mash Up Highlights
by Jenners • 05/04/2009 • Fun and Games • 20 Comments
I’m so excited with what everyone came up with for the latest edition of Fun and Games with Jenners — you guys totally rocked it!
I wanted to share some of the great ideas everyone came up with. They were too long to reprint here so I’m giving you a little preview and then including the links.
Tonya wrote a book blurb that combines Emma by Jane Austen and Christine by Stephen King — resulting in a carriage with a mind of its own!
Lane took the challenge and ran with it — creating 5 different genre mash-ups, including:
- Interview with a Muppet — Anne Rice and Jim Henson — what a classic combination!
- Get A Lawyer, Charlie Brown — which answers the question what if Edgar Allen Poe worked with Charles Schultz?
- Menace of Christmas — a mash-up of Louis L’Amour and Dr. Seuss
- Good, Bad and Ugly by way of Dr. Suess
- Harry Potter and the Precious Prince — a little bit of J.K. Rowling, a little bit of Danielle Steele
Dani mixed the innocent (Winnie the Pooh) with the not-so-innocent (politics) — leading to a Very Little Bear with Some Very Big Worries.
Kisatrtle took the blowhard Dr. Phil and mixed him up with Junie B. Jones.
Septembermom imagined that the wolf from the The Three Little Pigs took off — leaving them a little short-handed for a villain. In comes Frankenstein to audition!
Caitlin reimagined the Twlight saga as a diet book — Twi-lite –with some quite amusing results.
Okay, I finally did it! I thought it would be easy, but it wasn’t, I finally just went ahead and posted it on my blog. Just to give you an idea of how bad it is, my husband was laughing, not becuase it was funny because it really isnt that good!
Thanks for the shout out, Jenners…this was one of the coolest Mr. Linky thingies I have ever done.
This was more than a little enjoyable for me. Thanks.
I just noticed you started following me and I’m so touched that you have decided I’m worth the time. Don’t ever feel obligated- I’m just happy you’re interested.
Love your blog- hope I don’t disappoint. 
Thanks a lot!
What an amazingly creative lot of writers! Well done everyone. And great game, Jenners!
I would have run and pee. I would rather find a washing machine then a flight home!
Interview with a Muppet is the BEST.. I love this creativity! And yours for coming up with the idea!
My blog reading list just doubled tonight! All those choices! I can’t pick just one to read….
People’s creativeness is amazing!!
I would of peed my pants as well.
How funny – what creative folks…
This has to be one of those times I just sat and started writing without any ideas and then it yielded results for me. This is my advice to all you commenters here that didn’t participate because you couldn’t come up with anything: just start writing anyway and it will come eventually.
I suck. I just couldnt come up with anything. next time.
I didnt watch amazing race this time but if I had to pee (or poop) or win a million bucks, I would….ummm…..run like heck to the finish line! I can take a shower after!
I was so impressed with what everyone came up with. I tried to think of something but alas the creative juices were just not flowing.
Thanks for the challenge and I look forward to the next one.
Ahhh………..I forgot to come back and do this. I guess I snoozed and lost.
Re: Amazing Race! I’m glad she stopped to go pee! I got so tired of their nastiness all throughout the race (although they weren’t nearly as bad as Rob and Amber – remember them OMG)
That was cute. It gave me a chance to discover some great new blogs, too.
My husband had so much fun writing these! Thank you for featuring him.
I’m off to check out the other entries!
I love your games Jenners..Maybe one day I’ll have enough extra time to participate
I have to say that I would have peed on myself running for the million – even if I had to pee at the mat in front of Phil. — Bhobbsfernie
Your followers are so darn creative!
It’s such a fun game idea! Hope more and more people join in
To lose a shot at a million due to a bathroom break? Not me. I would’ve let it all out on the way to the pit stop if I had to. It was way too close to stop to pee. The finale should be good!
