Every Song Has A Story

OK, In my opinion every song has a story behind it. It could be random, but it could be completely serious. What I want you to do is write a story that is based off of a song.

Here's the Catch.

It has to be a song that is on my playlist.

My playlist is located near the bottom of my page.

I tried to add the playlist to the contest... but for some reason it didn't work, so yeah. Just visit my page!

If you do decide to enter this contest...

Use the song title as the title of your story,

tell y you picked the song in your AN.


There is a 7000 word limit.



If a song is from a movie (like the Circle of life or Under the Sea) Do whatever you want with it. Be a creature in that scene and tell of your surroundings from that point of view and tell what it is like to live in the Circle of life or Under the Sea.

Sound Simple Enough?

If you have any questions just message me!


Seriously, HAVE FUN!

OH, btw if you have any suggestions for a song, and the song doesn't swear or talk about sex and drugs then message me the title and the artist. I'll be sure to check it out

    Colors of the Wind

    I want to use the song "Colors of the Wind" as my prompt. Do I have to reserve that prior to submitting the actual story?

    Lame I found your contest like yesterday night and I was way to tired to actually write up my idea and enter it and now you are judging... Sad Panda

    I wanted to enter. Oh well I guess that will give me more time to make my story really good.
