Another crazy challenge

Jun 26, 2011 01:13

My daughter has discovered another crazy writing challenge to suck me into.  This time, it's 50 songs in 90 days, starting July 4th.  So I, and many of the filkers in UFO, are taking the challenge.  The 50/90 challenge (by the same people who do FAWM) allows parodies, collaborations, and any kind of songwriting you'd like to do.  So I figure filk fits in quite nicely.  If I don't have an original song in me some day, I can do a parody.  And it's not a song a day, so if I need more time on one song, I can take it.

ladydawnya has said she'll help us with music (she wants us all to have completed songs, not just lyrics).  This should be a piece of cake for paiyatamu , who did a hundred filk songs in a hundred days.  Half as many songs in almost the same time!  The rest of us . . . .  Well, one of my daughters, rukia_neesan, will be writing anime filk, often to theme songs from the anime.  army_of_gnomes , like me, will be writing various filk (and already has a list of parodies she wants to do).  UFO's "token Jew," erin_ruston, will be doing Star Wars and gaming parodies to (mostly) LDS hymns and children songs.  So the next time one of our housefilks rolls around, we may have some fun stuff to share!
