7.09: Song Lyrics


For this activity, your task is to give a Final Fantasy song of your choice lyrics! They can be serious lyrics or you can go the Brentalfloss parody direction. If you have a song and lyric style in mind, go for it! Otherwise, there will be a suggestion/requests thread to give you some ideas of songs that might work well with lyrics.

You get 20 points per stanza for up to two stanzas -- you can write two stanzas for a single song or write a single stanza for two songs. What counts as a stanza is usually about four lines of lyrics. Taking Blinded by Light as an example:



Section A lasts from about 0:11 to 0:33 and repeats again until about 0:55 (two stanzas)
Section B then picks up from 0:58 to 1:30 (could be one or two stanzas)

Basically, if the same melody line repeats exactly, each time it repeats will count as a separate stanza. Lyric writing is kind of hard, so I'm going to be lenient about what counts.


DEADLINE: Sunday June 8 @ 11:59P EDT (3:59AM GMT)
POINTS: 20 points for writing for writing a stanza of lyrics, up to 40 points; 5 points for requesting songs, up to 10 points

7.07: [Contest] Horror/Ghost Stories


For this contest, the challenge is to write an FF-themed horror/ghost story. Imagine the kind of story you'd tell if you were sitting around the campfire and wanted to unsettle the other people in the circle, and cause them to look over their shoulders uneasily. That kind of story!

You could have a party of FF characters sharing ghost stories, or have one of the characters experience a creepy incident, or just write a fic focusing on the horror elements present in FF games. Have fun playing around with building up suspense and that feeling of terror.


DEADLINE: Friday June 13 @ 11:59P EDT (3:59AM GMT)
POINTS: 25 points for submitting up to one fic (no word limit) - your fic can be crossposted to [community profile] moogle_workshop afterwards to get any difference in points

For this contest, write an in-game scene from the point of view of a Non-Playable Character (NPC). I use the term NPC loosely, but ideally the main target I had in mine is for characters in game who appear like, once. Someone you don't know the name of, even. It's up to your discretion, however, any "important" non-player character works as well (Regent Cid in FFIX, for example).

Your fic must be between 500 to 1000 words.

DEADLINE: Friday May 17 @ 11:59P EST (4:59AM GMT)
POINTS: You may submit one fic worth 50 points (
- First place: +175 points
- Second place: +125 points
- Third place: +75 points
- Voting: 10 points

Be sure to leave your class in your comment.

EDIT: Please make sure to state which game your fic is from and maybe a brief description of the particular scene in question which I will include at the end of your fic UNLESS you particularly do not want it to be stated ... This is just to help the people who have never played the game before to better understand your fic.
