Song Short Stories!

SushiSashimi333 · 2013-10-16T21:21:07Z

Okay, so I was listening to some songs and thinking how nice a story would be if it were made with the song in mind. Then since I can't write all that, I thought, what if I held a contest! How to enter: Just post here telling me if you want to or not ^_^ How it works: I will give you a song to write a short story too. It will be a lyric video from youtube so I want you to give your short story meaning that kind of follows the gist of what the songs saying. You can also say what the song means to you through your story, if you feel sad or melancholy or whatnot. You can request a genre of music or an artist if you like, because I really don't want you writing to a song you absolutely hate O_O That would be cruel and unusual punishment. Rules: You cannot work with anyone else unless you enter the contest together or receive aid from another member. Do your best at grammar and originality of your story or else points will be deducted Just post the work in your portfolio and PM me the link. I will then review it and tell you your points earned. What's in it for you: Gold medal - you may chose anything you want from the list at the bottom. silver medal - 2 reviews of your choice or however many points you want under 500 (I don't want to give you a life time supply or more than I have) bronze medal - a gift, 300 points, or 1 review This is where you try to beat yourself. So no matter what everyone wins and you get an automatic review from me ^_^ Also this way people can have enough time. This will last until I mark it as locked which will be a while O_O XD Take as long as you like. List of prizes: 1. write a collaborative short story with me 2. 2-4 choice reviews 3. 500 points 4. anything you can think of that doesn't break the rules and that I'm willing to participate in.

Whee, something to bolster my failing will to write! Count me interested, 'cause I am.

EDIT: If this is still open this late into November, haha.

Call me crazy; I prefer 'enjoys life while one can'.

@catbug - Your song is House of Gold by Twenty One Pilots. If you don't find it to your liking feel free to ask for a different song!

Yeah, I think I'd like to request a different song. House of Gold is lovely, it's just not doping anything for me as far as inspiration.

@manisha - it sure is ^^ Your song shall be This is War by Thirty Seconds to Mars. I'm a little lazy, but the video might help you out a tiny bit.
@catbug - no problem, I totally understand XD Your new song is I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace. I'm a little too lazy to get the url
:/ sorry >.< (Watch the official video, that might help.)
