For a lot of fanfic writers, music plays a big part of the process. This March, we're going to celebrate the role of music in fandom. Post links to your favorite fan music videos, to the songs that remind you of your favorite characters, and to music that just gets your muse going. The main event of this event, however, will be fanfics that are influenced in some way by music. It can be a story with a detailed play list, a story based on a song, or even a songfic. Whatever comes to mind and has something to do with music. My own planned contribution will be titled after my favorite band, with each chapter being the name of one of their songs. And within each chapter, I'll have a lyric from that song, paraphrased as necessary. Posting begins on March 1st with the event lasting through the entire month. Long fics do NOT have to be finished by the end of month. They only need to have one chapter done within March. When posting your story, create a thread with the naming pattern of Musical March Fanfic: [Title] in the appropriate fanworks area with a link to your fanfic. The official Hidden Gems chatroom will also be part of this. We have a music channel in the chat and will be hosting a Musical March writing party around the middle of March and one near the end of the month to help get those one shots and first chapters written.

Busy, Busy Fandom. We have our Musical March story event starting today. EF has a challenge-fulfilling event wherein posting begins April 1. Seasonal Spuffy is going to be open March 20. It sounds like a lot for those who want to participate in more than one of those events. But combining them into one story is do-able... if HG loosens its first chapter posting dates.
So that's what we're going to do. You have until April 10 to post the first chapter of your Musical March story, to make it easy for you to participate in as many of these events as you like, even if EF is your primary archive. We've all got to support each other and the wider Spuffy community, right? For this situation, the best way HG could provide that support was to extend our event to overlap with the posting dates of both of the others, allowing writers the opportunity to create 1 story for 2 or 3 of the current community events.

I like that idea. I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to participate in either event, but it's nice to have the option.

I have posted with this theme! Late, but it is up spuffygems.boards.net/thread/141I’m thinking of building a Spotify playlist and linking it as the chapters grow..
