(no subject)
The song lyric meme, as started by judyhazeleyes!
ever heard a song, or a quote from a song, that seemed perfect to build a fic around - but the bunnies wouldn't come? the tone of the lyrics, a particular few words, the actual subject matter: doesn't matter what inspired you about it, it made you think of fic, and you've been wanting to make that happen in some way?
well, here's the idea: you post five or ten quotes that you think would be prime fic material, either as an actual part of the fic or just as a springboard. your friends come along, get inspired, and write you drabbles or ficlets. then they post their quotes, and it's a big, beautiful circle of fanfiction. got it?
There’s so much
I've felt I should say, but
Even if your heart would listen
I doubt I could explain
- If You Don't, Don't by Jimmy Eat World
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
that's the story of my life
- Half a Person by the Smiths
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won’t read that book again
Because the ending’s just too hard to take
- If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot
Baby you're great, you've been more than patient
saying it's not a catastrophe
but I'm not the girl you once put your faith in
just someone who looks like me
- Humpty Dumpty by Aimee Mann
I feel like a ghost who's trying to move your hands
over some ouija board in the hopes I can spell out my name
- Invisible Ink by Aimee Mann
Tore up all your photos, didn't feel too clever
spent the whole of Sunday sticking you together
- What Do I Do Now? by Sleeper
we're a friendship
my longing must resist
but up the stairs
up into my heart
we're the lovers
who never get the chance
- When The World Knows Your Name by Dubstar
If I'm scared let me lose it
If I'm hungry let me have it
If I'm cold let my skin rise
If I'm wrong let me learn it
If I'm grubby let the dirt stay
If I'm tired let me shut my eyes
- Jump by Kylie Minogue
All of the rumours
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said that they were
Completely unfounded
And all those lies
Written lies, twisted lies
Well, they weren't lies
They weren't lies
They weren't lies
- Speedway by Morrissey
