five things fic

You know what never got big in the music fandom, that I think I've only ever seen one fic of using that premise? The Five Things That Never Happened fic.

It's hard to even find a proper definition out there of what that kind of fic is, though it does sound self-explanatory. Some say the five things ahve to be related, but that's more restricting than five very different things, perhaps all set in different universes. I think the trick is to not going too OTT though.

And even this definition makes me mmmm-and-ahh a bit.

The premise is thus: write five things, five events, five moments that never happened to a character but could have changed their life forever.

Because some things would just make a good one-shot tiny glimpse into a life unknown, I don't think you should have to write every moment that "could've changed someone's life". Wouldn't they all sound sort of the same if you just put the same scenario into each?

Eh anyway the reason I'm rambling is because I was thinking about this kind of fic this morning, and I think I'd like to write one.

So when I get home from work (at about hmmm quarter past two probably) I shall try and work out what five things, and WHO.

Is there anything anyone thinks might be interesting to try?

I'd really like to write some Lostprophets coz it feels like forever since I wrote anything that WASN'T that damned epic. And by "Lostpropehts" I mean Ian/Lee. Of course.

And I just thought. CSI fic migth be kind of cool for this idea actually. But I WANT IAN/LEE!

five songs meme, as ember all the time

speckledstars tagged me, and her mood picture had topless Ian Lee and Mike in it. Therefore I couldn't resist the meme:

List five songs that you are currently 'digging'.
It doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good.
But they must be songs you're really enjoying right now.
Post these instructions in your 'blog' along with your five songs.
Then tag five other 'people' to see what they're listening to.

1. Echoes - As Ember
2. On Broken Wings - As Ember
3. In The Stillness - As Ember
4. Remnant - As Ember
5. Once Beautiful - As Ember

(And those are all the full songs available by them at the moment so that's all I listen to)

Seriously, I heart this band very very much at the moment. I've resisted squealing about them and reccing them and posting mp3's because I thought it'd only bother everyone, or they wouldn't be interested. Industrial, gothic, rock and electronic, whatever you want to call it. The singer has a high and haunting voice, and the electronic effects in the songs contrast so well with the dark side of the music, the underlying beats and instruments.
