Music. Just Music.

All righty. I've been looking through some contests, and I've noticed a few things:

*pants* *pants*

If there's not something for you in THAT, I can't help ya.

Rules: *cueue cliche groan*

1. No sticky caps unless you have enough money to pay for new glasses.
2. Must have to do with the song.
3. Must have the song title in the title or in your AN
4. No word limits.
5. Poems, stories, anything will do.
6. Uh...I can't think-wait, Got it.
7. NO VAMPIRE STUFF. I WOULD USE ANOTHER WORD, BUT I DO NOT FEEL LIKE BACKSPACING. I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN IF I SEE THIS.
9. Fanfics are fine.
10. No erotica.
11. If needed, you can ask to extend the deadline.

* = Brownie points

Another idea: Take one of the songs above and write down what you want the music video to look like. I will be tougher on this, but if you can come up with something good, you will most likely be in the finalists.

Other than that, have fun. Remember #7 and did you notice there's no 8?

  • Final notes:
    Well, it's been real fun, guys. All the entries were awesome (wow that took me five tries to spell that ) and...I wish I would've put some honorable mentions. But, because I'm stupid and forgetful, I didn't. So, after a few hours of thinking it over, I came up with the three finalists. Congrats to you three, and for the other six of you, just know that now I wanted to make 6 honorable mentioners. (Is that even a word??? ) Anyway, as I tried to remember to say on all of your entries, Keep writin and keep smilin'.

    Wow. I can see why it took so long. Sadly. I can't enter this contest. There's no Panic At The Disco and I'm major obsessing over them right now. But the music video thing is a cool idea so I will see...

  • Wicked is so out of place on that list it's epic.

  • *mega huge eyes* Cage the Elephant!! *is a fangirl* expect my entry tomorrow or the day after.

  • Was just dance by Lady Gaga in the list? I scrolled down quite fast and might have missed it.

      Ahhh...no. Um...yes...'too bad'... Well, I was raised on Metallica and I only know Iron Maiden through Guitar Hero. It's really sad. Sorry. No Malmsteen. I shall check them out, though.
