Last year I went nuts with the offering, and ended up having to write a thousand-word story for the song "Tweeter and the Monkeyman."
*giggles*
I saw that on the Big Huge List of All Fandoms Ever and immediately went, "But - wait! If you can request songs as fandoms, I have other things to nominate!" It was too late, of course.
But next year, I am so nominating "Jesse's Girl" (An '80s song that I am convinced is actually totally about transference - I mean, Jesse is the narrator's friend, and he just - well. I think narrator needs to ask himself whether he wants the girl, who doesn't even get a name, or Jesse. Threesome fic!) and "Appetite for Lightin' Dynamite" (It's by Citizen Cope, and it is, well. Very evocative. Darren/Ava would be awesome beyond all things.).
So, hey, next year, the story-about-a-song that you aren't writing could be for me!
But I hear you on the challenges of getting 1,000 words out of a three-minute song. And you can't even pad your word count with guitar solos.
And before that, when it was still rare pairings AND rare fandoms, I wrote a Frannie/Welsh Due South story that is still a favorite of mine.
One of my favorites, too. It's fabulous.
And, damn. Now I want to re-read it, and the archive's closed.
