Fanfic Playlists
Seeing Phate_Phoenix's creeper Playlist for her Big Bang fic made me curious as to what everyone else listens to when they're writing...
So: are any of you actually working on a fic right now? Does it have a specific playlist, or do you just have a general playlist that you use when writing something?
...Do you even use music when you write? I know some people who just find it distracting (I have to be careful myself, because if I'm not I start typing the lyrics, rather than what I'm supposed to be typing XD)
I generally create a different playlist for every fic. Usually a mix of ones that just fit the pairing/show I'm writing for in general, ones that don't fit at all, but are just ones that for some reason help me write (or they're just bouncy and they keep me in a good mood), and of course ones that fit the fic specifically.
I've had my Big Bang fic playlist on repeat for several days now
Actually relevant to the fic
Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus
This song is the entire reason the fic exists. For one little line: Reach out and touch faith
Muse - Resistance
This one is for both John/Mary and Dean/Cas. More John/Mary
Muse - Undisclosed Desires
I know you've suffered, but I don't want you to hide, it's cold and loveless, I won't let you be denied. Soothing, I'll make you feel pure. Trust me, you can be sure.
Muse - Uprising
This one's mostly here for the chorus: They will not force us, they will stop degrading us, they will not control us, we will be victorious
Murray Gold - Doomsday
Instrumental. The music just gets my brain going.
Poets of the Fall - All the Way 4 U
That the place where I am is never far, you know you're not alone, don't be alarmed, I'll find you no matter where you are. So please remember that I'm gonna follow through all the way. Oh my love if it's all I can do, I'll take the fall for you. 'Cause I will soar when I lay down with, give my all for you
She Wants Revenge - First, Love
Instrumental piece. The music is just awesome, and never fails to inspire me for this fic.
TATU - All About Us
John/Mary all the way: If they hurt you, they hurt me too, so we'll rise up, won't stop, and it's all about, all about, it's all about us, all about us, all about us, and that's a thing that they can't touch cause you know it's all about us, all about, all about us, we'll run away if we must, 'cause you know it's all about us, all about us, it's all about love, it's all about us, in you I can trust
Three Days Grace - Riot
If you feel so filthy, so dirty, so fucked up, if you feel so walked on, so painful, so pissed off, you're not the only one refusing to go down, so get up
In my brain, they fit in general
Adema - Giving In
Adema - Trust
Ana Johnsson - We Are
Daughtry - Crashed
Halestorm - Innocence
Hoobastank - Inside of You
Incubus Sukkubus - Struwwelpeter
(not on YT, unfortunately...)Close your heavy eyes, my precious one. Close them oh so tight, my darling one. The demons on the wall dance for you now. Their fingers stretch and claw to reach you. Run from demons, nightmare creatures, laughing men of longest limb. Hide your feelings, ask forgiveness, pray that they won't take you in
Metro Station - Where's My Angel?
She Wants Revenge - Sugar
Three Days Grace - Lost In You
Sofi Bonde - See Through
They don't fit at all, but they keep me going
3oh!3 - Follow Me Down
Alex Roots - Don't Stop Looking (remix) (well, I suppose in the context of that video, it fits =P...The vid is good inspiration too)
Bond - Explosive
Cage the Elepant - Ain't No Rest for the Wicked
Dandy Warhols - Scientist
Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (remix)
Ellie Goulding - Under the Sheets
Evans Blue - Eclipsed
Eve 6 - Inside Out
Filter - The Best Things
Godsmack - Moon Baby
Josie and the Pussycats - 3 Small Words
Josie and the Pussycats - Pretend to be Nice
Ke$ha - Tik Tok
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
Pink - Boring
Pink - Bad Influence
She Wants Revenge - Black Liner Run
White Town - Your Woman
Within Temptation - Our Solemn Hour
