Okay, since I'm still incapacitated (though back to actual limping now!) I'm going to present you with this meme, which I'm pretty sure I made up. I will be very happy if anyone else decides to do it too, but you're not "tagged" or anything; go ahead and make me make a fool of myself without fear of reprisal.
I am going to call this the "But I never write songfic" meme, but titles are flexible.
1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Note down the titles of the songs that come up, in order. You'll want 15 in the end. You may skip songs on the basis of inanity, incomprehensibility, purely instrumental nature, repetitiveness of artist and/or sentiment, utter fricking terror, or reasons you'd never share with another soul, but try not to be too selective. Put the list in a safe place.
3. Ask your friends to assign you a song number along with some other information of their choosing: a fandom, a pairing, character(s), situations/genres etc.
4. Somehow, blend the elements and create something for each suggestion: a fic, a few lines out of a fic, a drabble, a wild scenario, a filk, anything you choose. You do not need to reference the entire song; a line or a stanza or thematic material will serve, and there is no need to quote directly. Post the song list and the resulting creations. You may want to include links to lyrics or videos, especially if the song's not likely to be familiar to the recipient.
I have my fifteen songs ready. They are certainly not the songs I'd choose if I went looking for appropriate ones, which is all to the good I'm sure. So go to it.
Fandoms can be anything you know I'm familiar with, including Vorkosigan, Lewis, Person of Interest, Sherlock, White Collar, Patrick O'Brian, Dalziel & Pascoe, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Castle etc. etc. go wild really. Crossovers fine too. (Those who know my original universe and want to use that, feel free.)
I don't promise to finish these anytime soon, but I will get to them.
