The SongFic Challenge Thread! ~*~The Killer's are up 3/06/06~*~

Glory of Love is such an awesome song I've always enjoyed Peter's song even when he was in the band Chicago Hehehe I've done lip sync with it before when I was younger

I can't wait to see what comes out of this one!

 

bumping this to make sure everyone remembers what song we've got up...
i know a lot of us are busy, but let's not forget that these can be written at any time, there is no cut-off, m'kay?


I also want everyone to know that an evil plot bunny drew blood on me today with this song....and it's all Cody's fault! i don't know when i'm going to have the time to write it, but I'm sure you guys will love it! so i'll try working on it soon. *looks at pile of beta work & other unfinished projects & sighs* well, i'll try anyway....


Dana--wanna post what you have?

 

I am a perfect angel, nothing evil is ever my fault.

 

....yeah, right, Cody

 

Hello. Megan told me to come here, so here I am. I have to say, though I have never heard of the song, I got a Han/Leia (what else?) bunny reading the lyrics. I may have an entry for you alll soon.

 

Can't wait. I had a Ani/Padme bunny, but it ran away

 

um, Cody....if you submitted the song, shouldn't you have to write something?

oh, no....wait! let me take that back...the first song was mine & it was just my way of shoo'ing my evil bunny away...so, well, nevermind.


you can go about your business...

 

At long last there is another challenge! *holds up a sign for ridiculously loud cheering*

Have fun.





Artist: American Hi-Fi
Album: American Hi-Fo
Title: Another Perfect Day

I'm holdin on
waitin for your call
it's simple but I can't explain this

I'm sinking down
I feel like I could die
I'm falling off
I don't know why

I still believe it when you say,
It's another perfect day
another perfect day.
I still believe it when you say,
It's another perfect day
another perfect day.

So I might try
to leave it all behind
I know tomorrow's not so bright now

I'll say goodbye
cause nothing good can last
you wear and fade,
you're no where fast
but today
I don't know how
to keep it all inside
but I guess I'll let it slide.

I still believe it when you say,
It's another perfect day
another perfect day.
I still believe it when you say,
It's another perfect day
another perfect day.

Today, I don't know why
I thought that it was real
but I guess it's no big deal

I still believe it when you say,
It's another perfect day
another perfect day.
I still believe it when you say,
It's another perfect day
another perfect day.

I don't know how
to let it slide...

 

good song, which, ironically enough, just came up on my shuffle through my obscenly large itunes library today.

dunno if i can find a bunny for it though.

will work on that

 

i still haven't written my response to the last one! man, i've been busy!

well, it'll get written eventually b/c it keeps bugging me...just not as much as all those stories I need to read over

 

Damn, I have three to do now, oh well

When these $£%^$&?@ exams are over, I've promised myself a writing spree. Then.

EDIT: And I can't spell.

 

This is my challenge entry for the song Glory of Love:

The Death of Anakin Skywalker

As you can probably tell from the title, it is not lighthearted. *runs and hides*

 

Can't seem to figure out a bunny for the current challenge, but Cody, I am playing with some Eminem lyrics

 

Glory of Love is up. It's J/TK, natch.

It's also pretty angsty.

 

Jon/Striker's response to that song was awesome indeed! keep up the good work guys!

We need more song suggestions sent to the sock via PM to choose for our next song!! If you have ever thought "ooh, that would make a great songfic on TFN" but never had the time or enough of a plot bunny to do it yourself, please donate to us!!

thanks guys!

 

OK, next song challenge is up!!

Thank you to Drabbo_Fett for this submission!!

This song was performed by Bonnie Tyler for the Footloose soundtrack, and it's been in other films as well. More recently, Jennifer Saunders sang it in Shrek 2.


Holding Out for a Hero


Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
Where's the great white Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what i need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

I the mountains neath the heavens above
Out where the lightning strikes the sea
I can swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
and the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
and gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

 

*dances with glee* yay!! we finally posted another song!!

please keep VadersMistress (and her whole vader-loving family) in your prayers this week. They have had a family death & will be out of pocket for a bit.

 

I am sorry to hear about that.

I'll try to have a response ready soon.

 

I love that song. It always makes me think I should write a fanfic for it. I think because it was either in a Due South episode or I mangled them together in a dream or something. This may have to be my first songfic. *pops it into the queue* If I'm remembering right one posts these in their own thread but are we supposed to say songfic challenge in the title or just post a link here or what? smacks forhead for once more not checking before replying

I can't wait to see what people come up with for this.

KD

 

... Has this thread died?

... How sad.

 

eh, i think DRL has just been on us a lot, i know it has been on me in a hard way. i do have a song to post tho, so maybe I can post it and bring a little life back into the thread?

 

props to karebear for suggesting the song that has been dancing in my head for sometime as a potential for this challenge!

may the angst begin (or mush, or whatever you guys come up with, i just see the potential for much agnst in this one!).

Artist: Green Day
Album: American Idiot
Song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's ****** up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

 

This thread was a good idea. There are all sorts of out-of-the-box challenge threads out there, so why not start one for the good ol' conventional songfic? The first and last one sparked a Kyp bunny, but I don't know when I'll get around to writing it.

 

Oooh, I love the last song!!! I've got plot bunnies for about four of these, so I'm going to get cracking.

 

When All Around Has Fallen

and

Glory of Love
