Song Tag Game

I was tagged by @randomfinny. thank you. 💗

rules: put your “on repeat” playlist on shuffle and post the first ten songs that come up.   

my guess is that most of these are going to be from story soundtracks or eventual story soundtracks.

1. Third Uncle by Brian Eno - a song that sounds like violent thought.

2. What They Call Us by Fever Ray - because I got a notification for a new Fever Ray song and listened to it a hundred times.

3. Love Me More by Mitski - for the sad dancing girl inside of me.

4. Feeling Myself - Lullaby version by Wolf Alice - a drowsy sort of sexiness.

5. Be My Husband by Nina Simone - one from the red squirrel. that story is about the songs in it. this one in particular. I hope it winds up as intense as I picture it.

6. Moonage Daydream by David Bowie - this is the version played in the recent film that's more of a tone poem than a documentary. recommended.

7. Photograph by Perfume Genius - I daydream stories before I write them down. daydreaming that goes beyond idle ideas right into drafting. this is the one that put on when I'm thinking hard about Rest Easy and the next story in their series.

8. Strangers by Portishead - raising your hand and pointing in time at 1:12.

9. Price of Blue by Flock of Dimes - I've never looked at the lyrics for this song. I prefer to get swept up in its ebb and flow, blissfully ignorant.

10. Blue Morning by Daisy Rickman - I have never heard this song in my life, I don't know how it wound up here--Spotify payola?--but I'm kinda feeling it. [adds to Untitled No. 6 playlist]

yup. this is about right.

Will you guys be doing any pinch hitter sign up stuff? Just curious. Thanks!

Since the Big Bang isn’t a gift challenge and we have until April 13th to recruit more artists, there’s no plan for an artist pinch hitter list at this time. Check back with us in May, anonymous! 

If you are interesting in joining the 2021 SKAM BIG BANG and creating fanwork for a story, whether it’s an illustration, graphic art, photography, a gif set, a playlist or other type of fanwork, WE WANT YOU!

It is @ghostcat3000‘s birthday, which means it is time to celebrate with fanworks! I was undecided on what to do for a while since our fandoms have virtually no overlap at the moment but then, Ghostcat, you made the mistake of mentioning that one of your WIPs involves Sleeping Beauty references. It is a proven scientific fact that I never shut up where fairy tales are concerned, so here is a Sleeping Beauty playlist. I hope it proves an interesting soundtrack to write with. Best wishes for a wonderful birthday!

#happy birthday ghostcat!

ASK THE FANDOM--RESPONSES

Here’s this week’s Ask the Fandom question: 

I want to put together a LoVe playlist for when I’m writing. Marshmallows, what are your favorite songs that remind you of them?

And here’s what you had to say:

@amillioninprizes--A couple of years back I made a fan mix for Ghostcat's b-day that is partially LoVe-related: http://amillioninprizes.tumblr.com/post/129892915489/i-so-i-kind-of-told-ghostcat3000-that-i-would-do

@minipsychologist--There are so many aspects to their relationship, and thus so many songs that fit with them. From best friends to enemies to frenemies to lovers to exes to lovers again (rinse and repeat the last two a few times). Guh, so many songs to consider.

Pretty much every Taylor Swift song reminds me of LoVe, but specifically:

I Knew You Were Trouble

Bad Blood

Delicate

The Other Side of the Door

The Way I Loved You

Tell Me Why

I Don’t Wanna Live Forever

Treacherous

The Last Time

Last Kiss

Style

Some other songs that remind me of LoVe:

STFU & Hold Me by Liz Huett

Beating Me Up by Rachel Platten

Bad Bad Drug by Kate Voegele

New Obsession by Frankie

Hothouse by 78Violet

Can’t Shake You by Gloriana

SKAM Fic Masterpost - Ghostcat

It took me a few years, but I finally have enough stories to put together a SKAM fics master post for myself. Here they are:

Burn Bright

Rated T, 10/10 chapters, 92K, Red Curtains AU written for SKAM Big Bang 2020 featuring art by vanderheijen

Isak Valtersen thinks nothing could be worse than getting accidentally cast in Nissen's production of Romeo and Juliet. Until he gets to know the play's student director, Even Bech Næsheim, who smiles way too much and is a constant, unnerving reminder of everything Isak wishes he could have.

The Boyfriend Experience - co-written with MinilocIsland

Rated E, 21/21 chapters, 177K

Even doesn’t really need a bot.

What he needs is an actor. One who won’t bitch about the concept or the lighting or quit suddenly to follow a hook-up to Barcelona.

He won’t be cruel or irresponsible. Even just has to make some films again soon before he forgets how or gets too scared to.

Later on, when the Bot is sitting on the living room couch, one hand, soft and unexpectedly gentle, at his thigh, Even will think, shit.

It’s more than that.

He’d been lonely.

(An Evak Botfic AU A love story)

The Dull Flame of Desire - co-written with MinilocIsland

Rated E, one-shot, 11K

In general, Even wouldn't consider himself a lucky guy. But, having landed a cat-sitting job in an Alsatian country house for the summer, having to do nothing but lounging in the garden and editing his script, he really feels like one.

If only it wasn't for this tanned, underdressed, hot mess of a problem that is the gardener.

Rest Easy

Rated E, 18/18 chapters, 167K, Nordic Noir AU written for SKAM Big Bang 2021 featuring art by sergiospastries

The body of a teenage girl is found in a Tromsø garbage dump, and it’s up to Kripos police detective Isak Valtersen to solve her murder. He’s tested―by the midsummer sun which never dips below the horizon, the suspect he can’t get out of his head, and the sleep that’s always just out of reach.

A Lord's Sauce

Rated T, 6/6 chapters, 19K

“Hi,” his nemesis says with a twitching sort of wink. “I was hoping we’d meet someday, Isak. But I’d never thought it would be on the job.”

[A rival food critics AU. Told in six courses.]

Adult Film

Rated E, one-shot, 281 words*

Even’s always found porn slightly disappointing. The angles are boring, the lighting is terrible, there is no mise-en-scène and he finds himself zoning out on some unseemly aspect―an ugly bedspread, bad music, or an insistent cell phone going off―mid-jerk. Someone overdoes the moaning or says something ridiculous, and it’s just not believable enough. It's not Isak.

1 Thing

Rated M, 6/6 Chapters, 30K, Friends with Benefits AU

Isak's not uptight. He's…chill. He could totally have a friends-with-benefits thing if he wanted to.

His friend Even agrees.

the red squirrel

Rated E, 6/12 chapters (work-in-progress), 47K and counting

A troubled musician hiding out from his label meets a beautiful amnesiac in San Sebastián. Bad decisions, suspiciously kind campground managers, some sneaky squirrels, and a 21-song playlist about a boy.

*on hiatus until September*

Honey

Rated E, 14/14 chapters, 11.7K

Los Losers Even and the very beardy bachelorette party entertainment.

---

in addition to the currently posting stories above. I've got ten other works-in-progress in various states of construction. I'm a slow writer, but I hope to complete at least half of these. 🤞

*Yes, 200 words. So if you're freaked out about the word count of my stories, that one is doable at least.

I can't sleep until I feel your touch
