I know some of my peers thought about doing this which is why I asked if this ever happened...

I actually happened to know someone who made up their related text. He basically made up this plot on how this genius is ostracised (or something like that) and this happened last year xD I tried convincing them to at least find a short story but he was the type of person to dismiss English as a dumb subject ("It's not like I'm gonna write essays in engineering.")

I have no clue what happened, but moral of the story: you could spend all your effort analysing a short text rather than putting in the effort to make up a plot.

As you can see here guys, I purposely posted this because I could not find it on google search and the fact that there are many people considering it is a bit concerning, therefore I ask for opinions of others in this regard...  Moral of the story: never make up your own related as it is a HUGE gamble unless you are a MASTER of bullshitting or a SUPER genius who can make extremely believable crap that don't exist, but with them I highly doubt they would ever need to do that for hsc english..

I have no doubt some people just make up quotes for an actual text too, which is risky in its own way because that means your made-up quotes need to be of a standard of writing that an actual author would produce, and there's a risk in the way that the teacher might have read the text.

I understand the temptation to cut corners, but there are ways you can minimise the work you need to do on your related text that will be more fruitful than making one up. A solid investment of your time into the related text, rather than half-assed 'eh this is boring I wish there was a better way' approach will cut the study time you need in half and will guarantee you a path to greater success than making one up :)
