Haha. Via Goethe-Institut Chicago: If you EVER wondered why we have Gross- und Kleinschreibung in German, here is your answer. (Text is in German)

You could probably put together something like that for Umlaute, too...

Five Authors Who Didn't Write The Avengers by rhymer23
Gen; Thor, Tony, Steve, Bruce, Team; genre: humor/pastiche; 4284 words
Summary: Five authors rather unwisely allow various of the Avengers into their nicely ordered fictional universes. Mayhem ensues. Also heffalumps, mead, swooning, soliloquies, and some very grumpy wizards.

A snippet:

MACBETH: A spy thou art, and thus mine enemy,
Invader of my castle and my home,
Who hides in corners, and from there to steal
My whispered words meant only for the air.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: It is true I have overheard things, but I believe I'm justified. After all, you have been plotting murder.
