I haven't written one of these in a long time; I'll do my best, but I might be rusty. (I'll have the videos/lyrics edited into this letter by the 18th, for easy reference.)
Dear
jukebox_fest creator:
Please don't stress about this; I'm not picky. This challenge just looked like a lot of fun, and I wanted to give it a shot.
(Also, since I forgot to mention it before, this is for user
Wallwalker.)
General likes:
Creative worldbuilding. Spiritual journeys. Altered states of mind. Psychological horror as opposed to viscera. Portrayals of luxury/decadence. Deeply trusting friendships/relationships. Unhealthy relationships that are portrayed as unhealthy. Polyamory. Surrealism. Speculative fiction. Unreliable narrators.
General do-not-wants:
Love triangles. Abusive/unhealthy relationships treated as sweet and romantic. Rape/noncon. Gore. Typical brooding-guy-comes-of-age narratives.
All of my prompts are just suggestions. If you have another idea, run with it.
Requests (all fic or art):
Daze - Poets of the Fall (Music Video)
Video | Lyrics
Yes, this is one of those videos that doesn't match the song that well. Would love to see something that runs with the video's imagery.
I Can't Decide - Scissor Sisters
Video | Lyrics
No gore, please, even though the song talks about murder - I much prefer psychological manipulation in my horror.
Cathedral Wall - Marillion
Video | Lyrics
Someone who's seen too much, finding peace in some sort of sacred place? (The imagery in the song is Catholic/Christian; you don't necessary have to go with that idea of sacredness.)
Addicted to You - Aviici (Music Video)
Video | Lyrics
Something more upbeat about these ladies - maybe how they first met and teamed up, maybe a happier time or a better job.
Helena Beat - Foster the People (Music Video)
Video | Lyrics
...I can't be terribly specific here, because mostly I just want to know, what happened to the world? Where did this messed-up society of children come from? How? Why?
Apple Candy - Ben Lee
Video | Lyrics
I'd love to see polyfic for this song - maybe they're part of a triad where the third preson is absent, or maybe the third person is trying to charm their way into the relationship.
House of Stone and Light - Dartmouth Decibelles (Song)
Video | Lyrics
Are these ladies on a literal spiritual journey? Or is there something else going on? (Please be respectful and careful about lifting imagery from other cultures, though.)
Mysterious Ways - U2 (song)
Video | Lyrics
I'd love to see this as a reference to some literal urban goddess, some sort of modern fantasy adventure.
