Album Challenge
Yeah, yeah, I'm supposed to be working on Set 4... I am, but this is something I've wanted to do but never had the inspiration for before.
The idea is that you write a set of pieces inspired by all of the songs on an album. They should all be in one fandom, and there should be a separate piece per song. The stories don't have to be connected to one another, but for an extra challenge, you could shoot for a cohesive piece with one chapter or part per song.
For example, I plan to write a set of One Piece one shots, which will be unconnected by the way, to the track list from Skillet's "Awake." I've got ideas for most of them already; some have more than one idea, and I'll have to narrow it down... I'm not sure whether I'll include lyrics or not. I'll post them here as I finish them, tagged with "album challenge," and I might crosspost to op_songfics.
I've thought this sounded like a fun challenge since I first heard about it on a mailing list for the Voltron fandom years ago, and I encourage some of the rest of you I know who write to try it, too. If my "Awake" venture turns out okay, I may even do this again with more One Piece to Abney Park's "Aether Shanties."
What do you guys think? Anybody with me?
