Here are the answers for the music meme. Thanks to [personal profile] likeadeuce [personal profile] adastreia [personal profile] scintilla10 and [personal profile] svgurl for the questions!

4. Is there a song you love but don't like its music video?

There's nothing inherently wrong with the Waffle House music video, but it disappointed me. I love the song, and when I first heard it I thought it had such a great message about being humble/remembering where you came from. But the music video is this huge musical production that feels a bit sterile and very distant from the lyrics.

7. Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into?

No, because I wouldn't want to answer awkward questions about the shirt :P

8. Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like?

I like Andy Black's solo work, but I don't really listen to emo or Black Veil Brides (maybe I should?).



10. Favorite solo artist?

Halsey or Demi Lovato.

The rest of the questions:
14. A song or album from the 50s or earlier:



21. A song or album from this year or last year:

Music for People Who Believe in Love by Joe Jonas ♥ There's only one song I'm not crazy about on the entire album.

22. What’s your favorite song or album from the year you where born?



28. Have you ever made/got a mixtape as gift to/from a friend?

Of course! This was so common, I remember burning CDs for my friends for their birthdays or special events in high school. I think the last time I got a burned CD was from a boyfriend in college, but it wasn't a mixtape - just a copy of a CD.

35. A song you like in a language you don’t speak:



No idea what's being said, but it's so lovely!

38. Which was the first concert you went to?

I'm not entirely sure but probably a band that was playing for free at the Fair. Maybe Tower of Power?

40. Which was the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Fall Out Boy was super fun - that also had a lot to do with the crowd but they sounded so good. Brooks and Dunn had such an impressive stage production - even from the cheap seats it looked fantastic and every song had a cohesive theme, plus I loved their banter. And then I have to mention the very first Jonas Brothers show I ever went to, when they weren't famous and Joe jumped into the small crowd and serenaded everyone with "Mandy" and it was totally incredible.

42. Your favorite(s) “no skips” album(s):

Badlands by Halsey (2019). Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer (2018).

49. Is there a cover you like more than the original version?

Of course the original (1975) is great, but The Chicks cover of Landslide is SO epic imo (2002).

56. A song/album/artist you wish you could forget so you could have the experience of hearing it for the first time again:

A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers in 2008. This was the album that launched their career into superstar territory and I really remember every single song on that album. It came at just the right time in my life and it made me feel so understood. That album was so important to me, it's hard to capture how amazing it felt to listen to it for the first time but I'd gladly feel all that again :)

I just started using the writing website/google docs replacement Ellipsus after [personal profile] argentum_ls' recommendation and I really like it. It's very aesthetically pleasing to me, plus it has the word count right at the top. I like the way the outline part works too where I can jump to different parts of the fic with headers. However, it's going to take time to completely transition out of Google docs because I have so many fics saved in various docs and I'm nervous about deleting everything. Maybe I'll just keep a couple back-ups, since I won't be deleting my Google account anyway. I do want to find an alternate email service though.

I'm still taking numbers for the ultimate music meme.

Here is a writer's meme from [personal profile] scifirenegade!

1. The last sentence you wrote.
The responsibility to save Max still pressed down on her, but it didn’t feel like she was carrying that weight alone.

2. A character whose POV you’re currently exploring.
I've been trying to nail down Liz Ortecho's POV when writing RNM fic, since I seem to write mostly Max's POV.

3. How you feel about your current WIP.

Challengers Cuckhold Fic: Why is editing so hard :/
Masters of the Air Crosie Fic: I need to STOP writing Croz like a pathetic sopping wet child.
Shyan Fic: Ugggh, so much left to write.
Standrew Fic: Maybe it's too cutesy but oh well, I need to let it out into the wild to be free so it stops plaguing me.

4. A story idea you haven’t written yet.
Max Evans (RNM) running into a bunch of clones of himself in New Mexico and being properly freaked out.

I meant to make way more posts for [community profile] 3weeks4dreamwidth but I suppose today is as good a day as any to start.

It is so hard to find fanvids these days! And they are my number one source of fic inspiration! The Youtube search function is literally useless, and Vimeo never really took off? Or if it did, I don't know how to search the tags. It seems like a lot of fan edits/fanvids are posted on TikTok. I don't have tiktok but I can still watch vids on desktop (mobile doesn't seem to work). I can't search tags either way but at least people seem to be reposting their edits/links to their edits on Tumblr? If you know of any tips for searching for fanvids/fan edits, I'd love to hear them.

I did send out a request for Harry Crosby/Rosie Rosenthal (Masters of the Air) vid recs on Tumblr, and someone responded! They have some really fun fan edits on Tik Tok and these two are my favorites:

Still - I love the way this builds. The ending packs a punch! The longing on Harry's face!

Close to You - I love when a vid has opening dialogue to set the tone. They're fun! They're flirty! They both like music! It might be a little fast for my usual taste but it's still a delight.
