How 'bout including afew lines from the sond in the fic. or even the setting of a song but not revealing what the song is? maybe the readers would have to guess/identify it and that could be revealed at the end. characters singing the song or even purposely 'quoting' the song would NOT be allowed. -- Fic Recon

In reply to: Pixie 's message, "Here's another idea. We've done a number of quote based ficathons, what if we were to try a song-based one? I'm not thinking songfics, because to be perfectly honest, I'm not fond of those, but there's nothing wrong with a story that was inspired by a song ..." on 18:42:10 02/10/09 Tue

I don't know, KM. Including any lyrics in the story itself skates awfully close to the songfic category, which truly makes me shudder (we all have our hangups, and songfics are one of mine, I'm afraid). That said, does anybody else have any thoughts on doing a song based ficathon this time and returning to quotes (move or tv) for the next one? (NT) -- Pixie, 16:11:48 02/11/09 Wed
- What about something like giving everyone an album, and then they get to choose one of the song titles as a basis for a story? Or even exchanging short mix-lists that make us think of JAG, and using one of the songs to get inspired? (NT) -- lska, 19:29:30 02/11/09 Wed
