Jukebox Roundup!

[measured_words]

I was really very pleased with this exchange overall, and am very much looking forward to doing it again when it runs (I think this spring?)! My main assignement ran long on me - i realized that this tends ot happen when I use OCs, but I think I kept it pretty well in check! I wound up getting assigned Scarborough Fair for Kaesa, who I know pretty well through Yulechat! I tried to think of a fun magial-realism place to take it, but it wound up in a modern setting, using a (completely made up) Materials Technology conference in Northern England, with a female materials scientist and a genderqueer artist as the lovers in question. There is banter and science (dodgy) and art (probably also dodgy) and four meal-based dates, one for each herb mentioned. I'm pretty pleased with it, overall, and she seemed to liek it a lot as well, so - score!

I also wrote.... a lot... of drabbles. One for Kaesa, for The Decemberists's The Infanta, as sort of a back-up mini fic, one for Nary, for Delta Rae's Bottom of the River because a: <3 and b: I love the song, and one for our mod Morbane (weho I also know pretty well from chat), for Covenant's Bullet because a: she did such a lovely job putting together this awesome exchange and b: Covenant! Someone requested something Industrial? Hells yes I will write that :D

I also write some for people I didn't know, mostly after listening to the playlist I putogether of songs with requests but no offers: for Corder's Close your House Down, and the Rumjack's Bar the Door Casey.

So without further ado...
