I just wanna thank Thunderdome for existing, lmao. I had the genre beaten out of me in high school/college creative writing ("does this HAVE to be set in space? Does this NEED to have magic? Romances are stupid and boring, you should write something serious!" etc) until all I turned in was homogenized, "well written", incredibly boring contemporary adult fiction slop that my profs loved but everyone else seemed to hate, so I'm kicking my inner voice that says poo poo like "journal style?? why are you writing like a teenager trying to sound cool?" because it's serving nobody. Thanks.

you can include weird stuff in literary fiction but only provided you stash it in between a bunch of unbearable stuff about tennis statistics and heroin addicts who for some reason all act like alcoholics otherwise if you wanna be really literary you just have to write about university professors having affairs with much younger students, and how emotionally difficult it is for the professor

Thanks. Very same. It's probably very obvious from the subject of my story this week.

Just wanted to post this here so as not to clutter up the main thread. I listened to every song as they came in and wrote down what my own vibe from it was. Waited until now to post because I didn't want my own opinion to color anyone's work. Some of this is probably weird and/or oddly specific. 1: Celebrants - Nickel Creek Celebratory (of course), convivial, remembering a struggle/battle, possibly bracing for one ahead 2: Cult of Dionysus - The Orion Experience 1970s televangelists, a montage of said televangelists spending their stolen money on expensive stuff 3: Remusat - Barbara Nostalgic, black and white, a bar 4: Sourdoire Valley Song - The Mountain Goats Calm, simple, wistful. The main theme to the protagonist's peaceful little village at the beginning of an RPG (one that gets destroyed twenty minutes in). 5: Take on Me - A-Ha (live version) Remembrance, funeral, rain, tender 6: You Might Think - The Cars Silly, heartfelt, pleading 7: Hollywood Swinging - Kool & The Gang Shoes with goldfish in them, bright lights, big cars, sunshine, relaxed, stylish, big drat deal 8: King of Carrot Flowers Pt 1 - Neutral Milk Hotel Unusual, reminiscent, blase', 9: Red Rock Riviera - Sea Power A harm long past, echoes, cold, the end (but not the end wished for), things seen as if through fog 10: Knights of Cydonia - Muse The cavalry is coming, western, showdown, 11: Feel the Lightning - Dan Deacon trance, depressed computer, futuristic, young, gritty 12: My Name is Mudd - Primus Dirty, aggrieved, undead
