2013 VALENTINE'S DAY PLAYLIST CHALLENGE!

Postby Aquarius » Mon Dec 31, 2012 11:30 pm

Okay, I know here in the Eastern time zone there are still a couple of hours of 2013 left. What can I say? Love is in the air! :hearteyes Some of our best, most fun fics have come from this super-duper 'shippy challenge, and Valentine's day is a mere six weeks away!

This will work the same as it has the previous couple of years. Use this thread to sign up. The sign-up period will last until January 14, 2013. You have the option of doing a single song or going for the entire list. Sometimes people are scared of doing the whole list, but I've found that sometimes it gives you more to work with so it's easier. Declare whole song or single song when you sign up.

When I close this thread, I will go down the list of people who picked single song and randomly draw a number to assign them. After the numbers have been sent out, I will reveal the song list.

There will actually be two lists -- a "RU" list and a "MU" list. Find your corresponding number on either list, and that's your assigned song. You may pick your number from either list. The "RU" (or "real universe") list is more your normal type of song about love and consists of various genres. The "MU" or Mirror Universe list contains songs about the not-so-nice side of love (or, let's be honest, sex) and are often suited to the Mirror Universe versions of our characters. This way, you have two songs to pick from even if you have selected a single song, There will be links to each song's video and lyrics (so we don't end up with an "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" or "There's a bathroom on the right" situation). If no official video is available, a fan-made video or an audio-only version may be substituted, so you can hear what the song sounds like if you don't know it. Each list contains ten songs, but I have several backups in order to make it longer in case more people sign up. In that event, the people who choose to do the "whole list" need only to pick any ten songs they want from their chosen list.

Write whatever your song(s) inspire. Any 'ship. Het, slash, threesome/moresome. Any style. We don't discriminate here. It just has to be 'shippy.

Since these aren't gifts for anyone and therefore not super-time sensitive, there are no restrictions as to who can participate. Keeping that in mind, we'd like you to do your best to get them in by February 28, but we understand if life happens.

Questions? Post here. Otherwise, sign up! :mrgreen:

Almost left out of here without signing up! I'm going to do a single song. If I do the whole list, I'll be too tempted to do a multi-chaptered thing, and with me entering my final semester before graduating, I'm afraid it would take me forever to complete!

Enough with the eyeballs already! (Yes, I saw this on Twitter first.)

I'm in, but for single song this year please. Last year, trying the whole list pretty much knocked me in the head and drug me to the ground. This year? I want to see if I can hit the deadline. :)
