So, first, a pimp, because
igrab made a community that pretty much sounds like the most awesome thing ever. So:
mythologeez: a relaxed mythology fan community!
Second, a plea. I'm working on making a mix CD jointly about fairytales and werewolves. I want to push myself to both draw the cover art and design the cover and back cover, kind of as a prequel to my senior project. I have a few songs thus far, but I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions? I'm looking for music that's more subtle/thematic than "I'm a werewolf rawr" or "la la la I'm living a fairytale". Preferably songs that aren't really metal or poppy, with female vocalists preferred. Yes. I am picky. Anyway, what I've come up with thus far:
FAIRYTALES
Rangers - A Fine Frenzy
Blinding - Florence + The Machine
Glass Slipper - The Dresden Dolls
Winter - Tori Amos
Fairytale - Sara Bareilles*
WEREWOLVES
A Wolf At The Door - Radiohead
Wolf Like Me - TV On The Radio
Dirty Knife - Neko Case
Wolves - The Accidental
Howl - Florence + The Machine
*I'm not at all sure if I want to keep this one; it's wrong with the tone I'm going for and it's more a commentary on fairytales and less a song about a fairytale. Still, my list is pathetically short enough and I'm not quite ready to abandon it.
There've been things I've been wanting to post about (specifically Merlin and Supernatural) but I'm at the point where I'm like "oh my god I don't want to say a bunch of stupid stuff about fandoms no one wants to hear about and some people on my flist aren't even in fandom what if I'm boring them oh my gosh I need to impress my flist they're all so cool what am I going to do!?" I need to get over this and just fucking write, but hey! Problems!
At any rate, working on getting a layout community up and running. I'm redoing my old layout over at my text journal (
catchirps). It's still a WIP but I think it looks significantly less hideous than it used to. If you want to check back periodically that will be where the new stuff's going to be made. I'm not too great desperately slow at this stuff, and after I finish that layout, I want to code another one for the community I'm making, but IDK when I'll have the drive to finish it all.
