Hello everyone, and welcome to our next long challenge — Songfic! This challenge will run from October 16 to November 30. I'm stealing the challenge blurb and rules from a previous year's post!

The goal for this challenge is to write a fic or create graphics inspired by a song — the title, the lyrics, the overall song or the music video.

Some simple rules

1. Pick any song — its title, its lyrics, the feelings it evokes when you listen to it or even its music video — and get inspired.

2. Write fic totalling 1,000 words or more, or create your choice of graphics (10 icons, 5 banners or 1 wallpaper) based on your inspiration. This can be original or any fandom of your choice.

3. You can include some of the actual lyrics in your fics or graphics, or you can just use any part of the song or music video as an inspiration — but please make sure what you were inspired by is listed somewhere so we know!

4. You can post your creation to the comm or to anywhere else you'd like and just link it here (in this post or any of the other Songfic Challenge posts).

5. Complete the challenge by the end of November 30th, anywhere in the world.

Easy enough, right? And to help you, I will be posting songs — sometimes with lyrics and (hopefully) with the link to its music video — throughout the course of the challenge.

And now, I will leave you to it. Good luck, have fun and happy creating! And please let me know if you have questions!
