December Prompt: [Banned] Songfic

(POSTING DATES 15TH-19TH)

@treefrogie84 won October’s challenge, which means they get to pick December’s theme, and they chose Banned Songfic!

The fandom olds will groan at this, and the younger fanfic writers will wonder wtf is wrong with us, but just stay with me on this one because it can be fun :D

SONGFIC (via Fanlore.com): Any fic which include song lyrics. They can be interposed between sections of the story, given to a character who sings them, or they can be heard on the radio by one or more of the characters in the fic who react to said song.

Songfic has been deemed pro/blem/atic over the years, and it’s actually banned by FF.net and a lot of LiveJournal communities. AO3 allows it with a caveat: DO NOT POST THE SONG IN ITS ENTIRETY or your fic will be taken down by AO3 for legal reasons. It’s probably a good idea to tag it as songfic too so we don’t worry the mods at AO3.

If you’d like more info, check out Fanlore’s Songfic page, the AO3 Tag, or this article on How to Write a Well-Written Songfic.

Songfic doesn’t mean you have to write crack. It’s been disparaged over the years, but there are plenty of people who have written serious, very thoughtful songfic. It’s open to interpretation, so you can do whatever you want with it. We just ask that you have fun :)

@treefrogie84‘s requested +Points and -Points:

  • +100 points if the song you use is from a musical
  • -100 points if the song has been in a Supernatural episode

All times are PDT/PST/GMT-7. Click Here for the current time.
Posting Dates December 15th at 12am through December 19th at 11:59pm
Promo Date December 15th at 12am through December 23rd at 11:59pm
Challenge Ends December 23rd at 11:59pm

HOW TO PLAY: Post a fic to AO3 (include it in the spncoldesthits collection on AO3) and reblog this post with an AO3 link to your fic

FIC POINTS: hits +1 point  |  kudos = +10 points | comments = +20 points

PROMO POINTS: Fic reviews, liveblogging, banners/artwork, podfic/vlogging all equal -10 each (please tag your posts with #spncoldesthitspromo)

Have fun!
