Dear Juke-Box Fest Writer!

Thank you very much for writing something for me. I want to say first of all that if you have a strong idea about what you want to go, please feel free to run with it! I have tried to give some general ideas of things that I think might be cool for the stories, but for the most part I'm pretty open to interpretations. I'm okay with any rating, I don't have any real squicks or triggers. I like things that are scary and creepy, but I also like things that a cute or funny or fluffy (though okay I'm not sure if any of the songs I picked really lean that way). I don't need happy endings, but I do enjoy them. If you have different ideas though, lemme have 'em! I like character introspection, I like world building, I like plot. I like porn, but I prefer plot to go with it. Really, go wild! I'm pretty easy to please!

I am really excited for this fest, possibly more than is rational. I have a longstanding love of folk music and other forms of ballads and song-stories, and I like thinking about what we don't know as much as what we do. The canons we have to work with here are mostly pretty loose, and I'm excited to see where people go with them. I recognize that this is a lot closer to original fic than most fandom-fests, and I appreciate that it can be harder to make things up whole cloth, so really, thank you! Write what you want, what inspires you, and hopefully what is below has some good ideas if you;re feeling lost!

Song requests:
Invisible Light (Scissor Sisters) )

Sister Awake (The Tea Party) )

Mama Loi, Papa Loi (Exuma) )

Witch of the Westmorland (Stan Rogers) )

Rippin Kitten (Golden Boy with Miss Kitten) )

Girl with One Eye (Florence + The Machine) )


I did think of something I thought would be neat, but this is entirely optional. But! If you have inspiration to cross over into multiple songs, I think some of them pair up pretty well - Sister Awake I think has a lot of potential to dip its toes into the stories of other songs (Witch of the Westmorland, maybe? Or Invisivble Light? Or even Mama Loi, Papa Loi?) Or Rippin Kitten and Girl with One Eye? Or whatever *you* think might be cool, if anything, dear author. I promise I am easy to please!
