More than half a century ago(in fact, now nearly four-fifths of one), a fan of E.E. Smith's cosmic-scale science fiction series, Lensman, which would later come to inspire the Silver Age Green Lantern Corps and several million other parts of thousands of other stories, decided to mock the sillier parts of the thing he so loved. This parody, titled 'Backstage Lensman', preceding the modern abridged series in both form and function, presents everything ghastly, ridiculous, unrealistic, tiresome and plain moronic about that laudable workhorse of a story as the stuff of high comedy. It is so good that Smith, upon reading it at a convention, was wracked with hilarity for the entirety of its brief page-space. In honor of the recent surge of space adventures and the many more to come, and in honor of this, my last day of posting(besidesthetimeitwilltaketofinishmyGMthreadsandgetalltheNPCsandsoforthontothetable), I present to you, my comrades in Play by Post, the great, the ineluctable, the inexorable, the fantastic, BACKSTAGE LENSEMAN Edit 22/09/2015: Changed link, inserted text (within spoiler tags) in case of future link outages.
