Wow, stumbling across this has made my day. Thank you so much Evet, that's one of the nicest things I've ever had written about me (well, on the EVE-O forums, certainly).
Unless that's actually comedy that I missed and the joke's on me. In which case, good job. ;)
I'm in total agreement that there's room for more humour in EVE, "internet spaceships is serious business" be damned. Shakespeare himself accepted that a dash of comedy is needed in even the most serious of tragedies - if nothing else but to provide contrast.
But since you kindly brought it up, I may as well take the opportunity to shamelessly link my stuff. I've done a fair bit of satire and some comedy podcast skits (mainly lampooning The Mittani), but aside from the script for the Tech Focus segments of the Tech4 broadcasts, I don't think I've ever written any out-and-out EVE comedy fiction. Well, not deliberately anyway.
If you were interested, here are links to the main 3 episodes of the Tech4 News Podcast (you'd have to scrub through for the comedy segments - they're in the 2nd half of each episode).
Episode 1: Investigating Sleepers
Episode 2: The Capsuleer Threat
Episode 3: Shades of Sansha
The majority of my comedy audio skits (originally made for the now defunct EVE Commune podcast) can be found here.
My old corpmate Greenbeard (sadly no longer playing EVE) does written comedy better than me. He wrote a three part series called Pay Peanuts, Get Monkeys, which he's using as inspiration for a novel he's writing. That's the closest thing I've got to written EVE comedy.
In other news, if anyone is interested, I'm hoping to return to podcasting in some form in the near future.
Edit: Just realised I forgot to mention Incarna: The Text Adventure (see link below). I guess that counts as written EVE fiction after all. :/
