For those of you who expressed in interest in the lyric fanfic wheel, here's how it will work.
Once everyone is signed up, you pick a set of lyrics. Have the lyrics ready to email, or at least a definite URL for them. You can't just throw the title and artist at that person and expect them to "go fetch"…Homie don't play that.
What we'll do is establish a list, and you will send your lyrics to the person below you on the list. The bottom person sends to the top, you know how this goes, kids.
Write a story based on what you feel about the lyrics. You all know how song stories go: read lyrics… get feeling…write story…
The stories cannot exceed 4 pages in length, unless you're really inspired…this has been happening, and it is really not a sin. I'm not pulling out my hair because of longer stories…
There will be no straight sex. PWP is okay, but this cannot be one big sex-o-rama. We do take slash, just mark it as such for those het/gen folks…
There will be a time limit. Think of a week, maybe two if I get a public outcry of "Nooooo! I HAVE WRITER'S BLOCK!!!" Always check with me or the MacBeta forum if you are unsure as to when to post. I like to pick a day and time…..
At the appointed time the stories will be unveiled (on the MacBeta Forum, because it ain't busy) and then you can peruse what people have done…
CONTENT RULES: You can use any old HL characters you want. You must have at least one character from the show!!!! The rest, ofc, omc, xover, I don't care.
And a word of warning. I know I am tempted to really screw with whoever gets my lyrics, but nothing REALLY odd….no Schoolhouse Rock or "Space Ghost Sings"….you know? It has to go with the song, and it's hard to do that when the chorus of your song is "Conjunction Junction, what's your function?" Then again, if you want it to be silly….ooooh! I know the song I'm picking! Beware! Whoever gets me better have a good sense of humor!!
In regards to these rules, I must quote Dana Woods:
If you break the rules, then the Wheel travels to you and runs you over, squashing you like a bug and leaving a puddle of goo in its wake....(intro to The Wizard of Vanattle)
Heeehehehe, yeah, don't press you luck kiddies. It's in the basement now, and it looks like that big boulder from Raiders of the Lost Ark...
But I digress...if you are still interested, or have any ideas, and want to sign on, Tell me here, email me, or post a message on the MacBeta Forum. Where the hell is the MacBeta Forum? It's On the Mac Beta site!!!
All right kiddies, the wheel must start spinning!!!
