Olivia Sutton's Fanfic Journal

Music Meme / Writing Prompts -- July 2009

Hey, I know this is quite late, but it's been a busy month.  This is how it works, as always.  Set iTunes, your Ipod, or other music device to "shuffle" or "random", then write down the first line of every song played for 10 - 20 songs.  I'm going to list 15 here.  Then, guess or try to figure out what the song title is and who the artist is who sings it.  Answers will be posted in one week.  Lines can be used as inspiration for fanfic.  If you write a fic using these prompts let me know and please provide a link to your fic.  Thanks and have fun!
