Those of you who are sick of seeing me pimp out fma_ladyfest: you are in luck! Because sign-ups end tomorrow (Wednesday) at midnight EST and therefore this is the last pimping post you will probably have to see. (Unless you belong to the FMA comms, in which case, uh, you'll be seeing like four more. Sorry

PRINCESS TUTU!

[bookelfe]

Oh man, for this I got Gutes Tun, which is No Good Deed from Wicked IN GERMAN, which if there is a more hilariously perfect song for Princess Tutu I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS.

So obviously this is the super-angsty backstory fic in which Backstory Lohengrin!Fakir accidentally writes Backstory!Mytho into immortal heartlessness during his fight with the raven, and is then like "man, trying to be a hero turned out terribly! So I swear that in my next life, I will be an ENORMOUS JERK" before dramatically expiring. Fast-forward several hundred years, and here we are!

*wince, laughing*

[lacewood]

AHAHAHA. I bet this is Drosselmeyer's favourite song after, say, the Wagner operas. It's certainly his favourite sentiment!

[schellibie]

I really wish I could sign up for the ladyfest but alas, I just started art school and I'm working on a webcomic in addition to that, so I know I won't have time. :( But I will be following it quite closely!

As for the meme... FMA. Haha.

[bookelfe]

Cheering from the sidelines is awesome! :D It is seriously extremely cool for us to know that we are not the only ones excited for the output of this.

And for this I get Life Less Ordinary, which . . . actually could be a pretty decent Ling/Lan Fan song, but as the point of this meme is ridiculousness we're not going there! Instead, this is clearly the songfic about Father's secret love for Hohenheim. Father just wants Hohenheim to come BE IMMORTALLY AWESOME with him! But for some strange reason Hohenheim is not appreciative, so Father has to move on to Plan B: steal the philosopher's stone power out of Hohenheim's soul, devour God, destroy the world. Why you gotta be that way, Hohenheim. :(

[schellibie]

I am always in approval of more fic about ladies!

HAHhahahahah poor Father and his unrequited love. WHY CAN'T HOHENHEIM SEE THE WAY HE FEELS ABOUT HIM!? WHYYY

[bookelfe]

He tried to subtly hint that Hohenheim was the most important person in his universe by killing everyone else in the aforementioned universe, but mysteriously Hohenheim took this the wrong way! ;___;

Joan Aiken's oeuvre. *serene*

[bookelfe]

I was going to complain about not being able to draw on the later books, but what am I saying, you know that inevitably all songfic is going to focus on the tragic love of THE CAPTAIN AND THE PINK WHALE. And indeed, Timbaland's One and Only suits this tale of star-crossed lovers SO WELL. He just wants to hit that one more time! And not in the harpoon way.

[genarti]

I am not doing this meme in my journal properly, but if you want to toss a prompt back, I will see what Pandora gives me!

Meanwhile, my soul is scarred by your hypothetical songfic, which sounds about par for the course.

[bookelfe]

Look, it's Joan Aiken's fault, not mine. *lofty and dignified*

Okay, College of Magic! Since you just read it and all. :D (And it's not like there's not plenty of angst to go around.)

[rymenhild]

Company.

[bookelfe]

Oh, Companyverse and your gold mine of angst. I got Boulevard of Broken Songs, which is so very an angsty Victor song that it's not even funny. However - because why touch on just one angst when you can have two or three or four! - the songfic is in fact a highly structured piece that parallels Victor, Nan, Lewis, and Joseph, wandering up and down various empty streets and ranting at length about how depressed and lonely they are. The overall effect of the fic ends up being a sort of unintentional "it sucks to be me" one-upsmanship! WHOSE LIFE SUCKS MORE, VICTOR'S OR MINE? (Victor's. It's always Victor's.)

[rymenhild]

Hahaha. Yes, a gold mine of angst.

[nevacaruso]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

[bookelfe]

Okay, I got Thea Gilmore's Inverigo for this, which would totally be the ghost!fic about all the dead Sunnydale students who bought it during the fight against the Mayor, eternally teenaged, floating around playing poltergeist with radio stations and gradually and depressingly losing their sense of self. Still, it's better than being being vampires! Probably.

[nevacaruso]

I would read that fic.
