I have also updated the fest FAQ and Rules at the 2015 AO3 collection profile. Please take a look and let me know of any inconsistencies - or unanswered questions - that remain. You can comment here or email me at jukebox.mod@gmail.com. I am always happy to hear from people, even if you don't end up signing up.


Finally, what are you planning to nominate? Let's toss some ideas around either here or at the equivalent post on LiveJournal.

Good question! Let me think about it. Do you happen to have a link?

[tentaclesock]

Yes, I do. Here it is. Warning: contains the word "transvestite."

[morbane]

Thanks.

After some thought: yes, sure, I will approve that if it's nominated, and similar spoken-word pieces.

I don't think I'd approve any poem that was read out loud and recorded - especially if its first/primary mode of dissemination was publication. I think it's reasonable to argue for the musicality of pieces designed to be received as spoken, and so performed.

I may have to refine my definition if the question comes up further, but for now, yeah, that one's fine.

OOH I had a Waits one I wasn't sure about nominating because it's spoken, but maybe? Circus (and lyrics because he's not always the easiest fella to understand)

[morbane]

Sounds good to me! (Well. As a nomination anyway. Waits' voice isn't really for me.)

[resistate]

What about the spoken-word The Ouija Board by Laurie Anderson?

[morbane]

Sure!

That video isn't available in my country. But take that, Youtube, I have The Ugly One with the Jewels and Talk Normal at home, and meanwhile the All Music Guide will give me a sample. :P

Exchange 1, YouTube 0.

And thanks!
