Please, someone, tell me this is a joke. http://www.livejournal.com/community/bsg2003fics/62417.html

Galactica Evanescence Songfic.

Comments

It's like a rule of fandom.

There must *always* be an Evanescence songfic in *every* fandom.

ALWAYS.

[ilanala]

I saw that it was a songfic and decided to ignore it. But Evanescence? *cries* What's going on with that community? There's been some terribly horrible stuff lately.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Galactica Evanescence Songfic.

*backs away slowly*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That was my reaction. Even worse, it's scriptfic. Isn't there a law against there being Galactica Scriptfic?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

And I contributed to it, FABulously. ;)

Hrm. (now I want to write more songfic. DOWN, rabbits. No cookies for you)

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

Lyssie, darling, songfic is never a joke. Especially Evanescence songfic.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

See, and I was told that Evanescence has gone out of Vogue with the Emo kids, and thus, E. songfic would be outdated... *shoots more plotbunnies*

(oh, but, dear gods. The things I could do with Bring Me To Life)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

There's a good thought. I wonder if we can ask for it to be added to the rules?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*shoots more plotbunnies*

This is probably true.

[jacksrubberduck.livejournal.com]

THEY LIE!

And hey if there's gonna be song fic I'd rather you wrote it. ;)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's under Article 14 of the Laws of Kobol.

[nakedtoes.livejournal.com]

Don't let the fact that other people write badly put you off from writing what you want to write. *shrugs* Though I do see how it would be a deterrent.

[fallenbelle.livejournal.com]

(oh, but, dear gods. The things I could do with Bring Me To Life)

*images of S/J fic done to Bring Me To Life run through head*

*reaches for the vodka bottle for a refill*

Are these actions pure coincidence? I think not.

[redstarrobot.livejournal.com]

I confess, I don't know how to write songfic. How is it done?

[redstarrobot.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. That's why I'm so tempted. I enjoy a challenge... I just don't understand the genre. :)

[mirageofmae.livejournal.com]

I have never understood songfic... It is really the bane of all fandoms... Oy...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Pick a song. Any song. Stick excerpts of the lyrics between moments in your story.

::lyrics::

Paragraph.

::lyrics::

etc.

I've done it, on occasion. Hell, you used to be able to tell which Round Robin posts were mine by the gratuitous song lyrics. ;)

[driftingatdusk.livejournal.com]

*amused*

*reads up to @ss*

*is even more amused*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*nodnodnodndods* EXACTLY. *cries*

Hrm.

[amykay73.livejournal.com]

I saw that earlier. I just started venturing into the world of BSG fic, and that one was almost enough to make me flee screaming.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*snicker* I'm sure someone's done a Sam/Jack vid to Bring Me To Life already. Shippers tend to like that kind of stupid thing....

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Well, there's good fic out there. It's just... you have to be kinda picky. (and right now, my brain isn't working)

[ilanala]

I'm suddenly getting a very amusing mental image of a patient on House having seizures:
"Differential diagnosis?"
"Epilepsy."
"Brain tumor."
"Hideously awful BSG songfic."

...just ignore the crazy girl. *goes back to the corner*

[lytarules.livejournal.com]

Ah. I know. What you need to write is BSG Barney Theme Song songfic. This will help you feel better. *nods sagely*

[morwen_peredhil]

It was only a matter of time before someone wrote Galactica Evanescence songfic. There's some kind of rule that no fandom can escape it. (I even like Evanescence, but songfic? Not so much.)

[sideofzen.livejournal.com]

i adore your icon, have i mentioned that? every time i see it, i just have to stop and stare.

such a great episode.

[sideofzen.livejournal.com]

God. ScriptFic. DIE A THOUSAND FIREY DEATHS!

Evanescence is the quintessential songfic and vid music. Every fandom has it. There is no escaping. Ever.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

HEEE! That scene about KILLED ME WITH GLEE. I love it :) Thanks!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

hrm. lemme get back to you on that.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

This is very true.

I think there's a shippy vid for every pairing in every fandom to 'Bring Me To Life'...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

yeah... *kicks at songfic plotbunnies*

*g* And I like Evanescence...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

It's, um... almost like a video! Yeah. But, with prose instead, y'know?

*stops channeling idiocy*

*smallvoice* It can sometimes be done right?

[livilla.livejournal.com]

Pfft, Evanescence song fic is so last year. When will these people learn? They should be using the angst ridden theme songs of WWE wrestlers. Duh.

[mirageofmae.livejournal.com]

Hmm... songfic done right... I'll believe it when I see it. (:::coughchallengecough:::) I admit, I wouldn't mind seeing it done tastefully... Maybe if there was a greater effort to embed lyrics and a more in-depth analysis of characters and actual connection between song lyrics and story... Hmm...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*smirks*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

This is true. I've been told the emo kids are all about, uh... damn. Oh! Velvet Revolver.

Sadly, Velvet Revolver sound like crap.

At least Evanescence were singable...

[livilla.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Velvet Revolver are omg so hardcore, so of course...

I liked their first song and my uncle said they kicked ass live, but... I'm not that big on them.

True. And Amy Lee is hot.
