Romeo and Juliet--A Parody
Summary:
Juliet Capulet is just your average teenage girl until a chance meeting at a community dance changes her life forever. She meets Romeo Montague, who immediately starts stalking her, claiming they are meant to be together. For Juliet, this is just too much; she calls the police. How did such a story inspire the great William Shakespeare? It's not how you think!

soo much fun! i love it!! i love how you have shakespeare come to this time period to get the idea for Romeo and Juliet. Very good.
one minor comment. in the epilogue, it say juliet gradutated from university. maybe should be 'a' university, or give it a name. but that's the only thing i found! great job!
Thanks for the comment, Nadia6991! Sorry I didn't make it clear Shakespeare was following Romeo and Juliet, but this was my first submission. I originally had it in italics, but that got lost in the copying and pasting process. In the play, 'Paris' is the name of Juliet's other suitor.
And yeah, my dad is like that with boys too, so I added that part in! That's probably what would happen if I had a boyfriend and brought him to meet my family! :)
"I love you[,] Juliet."
"I love you too, Paris."
I feel that the beginning of the story was very "olden days" (like romeo and Juliet time) but on in the story, it's gets modernized. Is that suppose to happen, because i got very confused as to what age i was in....
AHAHA (: It's funny when the dad starts loading his gun, my dad is so like that with boys (:
what kind of boy's name is Paris? I like it! It's unique :D
WOW,Romeo's a stalker now?! ahah, I love this Parody!
So far, I'm really liking this! Most parodies are really lame and try so hard to make fun of the movie/book/etc... that they leave out the writing skills and word flow, but this is reall good! Thanks for the great read!
Hello! I just wanted to return the read you made on Black Dawn.
This was an amusing read, and one that kept me quite entertained. You didn't have many spelling or grammar mistakes---almost none---and the slight humor in this that I caught kept the story fresh and renewed.
All in all? Great work!

Ahahahaha, this is just classic, and in the most original way, haha! Very amusing. I agree with introducingshelby that the dialogue is wonderful, and the whole concept is so new!
The only criticism I have is that it seems to get off to a shaky start, and some of the action seems plain and forced. 'Course, I can see how an avid reader of Romeo and Juiet would see it differently, but to someone who's pretty much just aquainted with the basis of the story, I just found the story a little... random, I believe, would be the right word.
Don't get me wrong, though-- this is a great piece, and funny to boot!
