Pinch hit #7 - CLAIMED
Request 1 by Joanne_c
No Man's Land - Tanya Tucker (Song)
Fanfic
No deathfic. Characters who are canonically dead (eg, Barney Dawson - I might be very interested in mentions of his death) may be mentioned as so, but no death or terminal diseases or death-causing injuries for any alive at the end of the song characters, please.
No mention of rape that didn't occur in the canon, unless it's that Molly wasn't the only girl Barney Dawson raped - that may be why he's in prison.
I heard this song again after a while of not having heard it. I thought it would be very interesting to read something based on it.
I'm interested in how Molly dealt with life after Barney's assault. How she recovered and maybe why she chose nursing. How she related to people after.
I'm not interested in her ever getting involved with a man. She could live a good and happy celibate life if she decides that sex isn't worth it after how Barney treated her.
However, I do think it's possible she could become involved with a woman. An OFC, as there weren't really any other characters in the song. A fellow nurse. A lifelong friend. A new person who moved to Brush Creek, Georgia.
I do not want her becoming a lesbian/involved with a woman (however she identifies in the story) due to the rape - it may be why she can't bear a man to touch her, but a woman is different, but I do not want the rape to be the only reason she chose women.
But honestly, this is a song where anything would be interesting to read. I'd love to see your take on it!
The only ship/s I am interested in are Molly/f - there can be more than one if that fits the story - I do not want to receive any unrequested ships for this song.

Don't You Want Me - Human League (Song)
Fanfic
No deathfic. No death or terminal diseases or death-causing injuries for any (presumably) alive at the end of the song characters, please.
This song has so many possibilities! It could be something simple - a rich man bringing a poor waitress out of a cocktail bar, they fell in love, now she's in love but knows she can't live with him any more for whatever reason.
Or maybe they are still in love and can work it out?
Given the lyrics, he is possibly a little obsessed, but it could be more in his head than as dangerous as it might seem.
This could be in almost any setting but I prefer modern or eighties setting (the time of the song's release).

Silver Threads and Golden Needles - Wanda Jackson (Song)
Fanfic
No deathfic. No death or terminal diseases or death-causing injuries for any (presumably) alive at the end of the song characters, please.
I love this song, have always thought it could make an interesting story. Rags to riches has so many variations.
I chose this particular version of the song, as I'd love to see the verse that is usually omitted in later versions included as part of the storyline.
Please feel free to interpret the song as you like - I can see so very many potential ideas within the rags-to-riches format.

I Remember LA - Celine Dion (Song)
Fanfic
No deathfic. No death or terminal diseases or death-causing injuries for any (presumably) alive at the end of the song characters, please. Though for this song, that can really only be assumed of the narrator.
This is a sweet and melancholic song, bittersweet and sad.
It would be interesting if it was set in the film world, with the vagaries of love in such an intense environment not working.
Or perhaps not, perhaps it was a couple in love who visited LA and did touristy things and maybe the other half (this one isn't necessarily het only in my mind) is gone, through death or relationship end or something else.
I'm very into the possibilities for this song.

The Carnival Is Over - The Seekers (Song)
Fanfic
No deathfic. No death or terminal diseases or death-causing injuries for any (presumably) alive at the end of the song characters, please.
This song has always struck me as an ending of one thing and maybe the beginning of another, but taking time to regret the loss of the first thing.
It was written about the end of Carnival in Rio, and I would be happy with this interpretation, but any ending - the end of a vacation, the end of a summer, the end of a job - the possibilities are endless.
It might even be the end of a relationship?
Anything would be wonderful.

Request 6 by Joanne_c
Lying Eyes - The Eagles (Song)
Fanfic
No deathfic. No death or terminal diseases or death-causing injuries for any (presumably) alive at the end of the song characters, please. Exception for this song is to kill off the "rich old man", leaving the young woman a wealthy widow.
This song has quite the narrative structure on its own. The lyrics make one ask questions - why did she choose to marry the older man? How did she meet the younger man? Is it his youth she is into, or if things were different might she be able to be with him? What if her new life falls apart around her, but in a positive for her way, like if her old and rich husband dies?
I'd even be happy with expansion of the story of the song as told, that would be interesting too. This is one that just lends itself to a lot.
I think I'd be interested in her finding something real, most of all. Even if it is perhaps love for a child of her own, and not a man.

I Honestly Love You - Peter Allen (Song)
Fanfic
No deathfic. No death or terminal diseases or death-causing injuries for any (presumably) alive at the end of the song characters, please.
Besides, for this one? Death as ending is a little too easy, in my opinion.
I see this as from one lover to another, who can't be with the other for any reason. I chose this particular version because I have always seen it as a song from a gay man to his lover, perhaps a lover who is married to a woman and closeted. Or there may be other reasons they can't be together.
I don't see the song as strictly gay, just very preferentially. It could even be f/f and I would love it.
But it's the longing, the wish that they could have this, but all they can have are the words. That's what I'd like to see in a story from this song.

Pinch hit #9 - CLAIMED
Request 1 by Beatrice_Otter
Strip Polka - The Andrews Sisters (Song)
Fanart, Fanfic
What I love about this song is how cheery and sex-positive it is. Queenie's a wonderful girl with ambitions that need money, and so she strips to earn the money, and the song doesn't shame her for it. Please keep that same cheerful, playful feel. You could do something about Queenie's time stripping, or about her buying her farm with the money.
If crossovers are your thing, I would not mind a crossover with people who might pop up in the 1940s, e.g. Captain America and/or Agent Carter, Star Trek (time travel), Wonder Woman, White Christmas, etc. If you want to do a crossover, please check with the tags on my AO3 account and/or DW for fandoms I know.

Many Moons - Janelle Monáe (Music Video)
Fanart, Fanfic
I love all of Janelle Monae's stuff, and this video just has so much stuff in it I wonder about. You can bring in stuff from other parts of the Archandroid suite if you like, but it's not necessary. There's a lot of evocative stuff in it, but it doesn't all make a coherent whole when you put it together.
Questions that may lead to plot bunnies: in this runway show, are the bidders buying the androids, or the clothes they're wearing? One would assume the androids would be identical except for the clothing, so why would you be bidding on a specific copy? If they're buying the androids, what is the purpose of those androids going to be? Also, there's obviously some connection between Cindi and the rest of the droids. They're all singing in perfect unison, so they have to be connected somehow. Cindi is singing about freedom, but is that what the (presumably human and not-android) audience listening to her and screaming is hearing? I have a hard time believing that humans who enslave droids would be so ecstatic hearing an android sing about freedom. Or are we hearing what the androids are getting, while the humans hear some innocuous song and miss all the meaning to it? WTF happens to Cindi at the end of the video?

I have so many questions about the Palace of the Dogs, both as a place and as it relates to the lyrics of the song. Please feel free to go as cyberpunk or as magical realistic as you want. Who are the figures with the mirror faces? When Cindi walks into the wall and her clothes are left behind at the end, is that an escape?
