Welcome to the Dime in the Jukebox Fest, a prompt fest for fanworks based on songs and music videos! Have fun, and feel free to promote it on your journal/community/tumblr/discord server/whatever if you want. You can copy the code in this box wherever HTML applies:
Rules
1) Leave a song or a music video as a prompt. Please include a listening/watching link. Links to the lyrics (if any) and translations of the lyrics (if they are not in English) are appreciated but not required. You may also include a short phrase, such as a quote from the lyrics or something that particularly interests you about the song/video, as an additional prompt; this is optional but not required. One prompt per comment. Leave as many prompts as you like.
Here's a possible template for prompting:
2) Reply to other people’s prompts with fanworks. All mediums of fanworks are welcome! But please create the fanwork about the prompted song/video only; no other fandom knowledge should be necessary in order to appreciate the work. Exception: if you are making fanvids, a vid to the prompted song for any fandom is considered an acceptable fill.
Update: There's now an index of prompts and fills and a playlist for easier browsing! We will try to keep these updated, but things might not always make it up immediately.
FAQ
Q: When you say all mediums of fanwork are welcome, what do you mean?
A: Really, all mediums of fanwork. Fic, art, meta, playlists, vids, songs, memes, crochet patterns, whatever you want to make, go ahead and post it or link to it here.
Q: Can I create fills without leaving any prompts, or leave prompts without creating any fills?
A: Go ahead!
Q: I want to fill a prompt, but someone else has already filled it.
A: That’s okay, prompts can be filled multiple times.
Q: I want to create explicit erotica, or fanwork with potentially disturbing themes, or prompt a song/video that contains such materials. Is that okay, and what sort of content do I need to warn for?
A: Sure, that's fine. Warnings are considerate and appreciated, but they're also up to the discretion of the individual poster. Consider this a warnings-optional space and read at your own risk accordingly.
Q: Are the fills I create considered to be gifts to the prompter?
A: Only if you and the prompter want them to be! Otherwise feel free to treat the prompt simply as inspiration.
Q: I want to participate, but I don't have a dreamwidth account/I'm shy.
A: That's okay--anonymous posting is on.
Q: How long is the fest going to be running for?
A: Currently, there’s no set end date, but we may close this post to comments once nominations for the Jukebox Exchange open, just so we don’t have two events running at once. However, we don’t yet have solid dates for this year’s exchange, and honestly I’ll be impressed if people are still actively posting here by that point.
Q: Is there a collection on AO3 where I can post my fills?
A: Right here.
Q: I want to participate, but I can’t think of any songs or videos to prompt.
A: Lucky for you, there’s a playlist tag right here in this community where you can find playlists of songs and videos that people have requested and created for during Jukeboxes past! There’s a lot of good stuff there; hopefully you can find some inspiration.
Q: I want to create fills, but I don’t know any of these songs.
A: Maybe you’ll find something you like if you give them a listen; discovering new music is part of what we’re all here for.

Additional prompt:
And the time you held to the light
When the water ran water ran with the strange attic
And when the walls were wet with your life
Go on! Little sister! Go on! Go on! Little sister!
For your world is yours, world is yours
All the wilderness of the world is yours
Warnings: The song references domestic violence.

Additional prompt: this is such a pretty and gentle yet evocative song. <3 have fun with the imagery or inventing your own universes/AUs! I'm intrigued by lines like 'Gathering in silken height / Like the last human teachers' and 'Crystal blood ... a ripple in the wound and wake'. Is it a post-apocalyptic scenario? But others are welcome!
You believe, I believe too
That you are the river of light
Who I love, that I cling to
In the belly of the empty night
I'd fly to you tomorrow, I'm not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you to the shore

Lyrics: https://genius.com/Laika-badtimes-lyrics (note: song does contain a slur against little people)
Badtimes will give you dutch elm disease. it will leave the toilet seat up.
It will make a batch of methamphetamine in your bathtub and then leave bacon
Cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase high school kids with your
New snowblower. these are just a few of the signs. be very, very careful!
This feels like a good opportunity some for some truly surreal nonsense, or else picking apart conspiracy theory stuff or people's fear of new computer technology

Lyrics: https://genius.com/Future-bible-heroes-death-opened-a-boutique-lyrics
Open seven days a week
It was de rigueur and chic
For the wicked and the weak
Death opened a boutique
Who is shopping here and why?

Lyrics:
Genius link
Additional prompt: A relationship that could've been, if not for one of them pulling away. An on-again, off-again thing? I think it's a straight-forward song, but I think it'd be interesting to see this taking place in any kind of universe - fantasy, futuristic?

Additional prompt: I love all the sci-fi and/or fantasy story possibilities in this song! Also: who are "the man with the ladder", "the woman with the key", and "the man with the stick"?

Lyrics:
I wanna be a Warhol hanging on your wall
You down there looking up at me
I wanna be a Warhol displayed on your wall
Hung up there staring back at you
Additional prompt: The concept of the video is fascinating. Milla Jovovich's character seems to be aware of the man in the walls and seems to kink on his attention. He seems to be worried about getting caught. I'm wondering about the implications. How long has he been there? How long has she known? Does the other woman know? What is going through their heads while everything unfolds?
Warnings: The spiciest imagery is the woman in lingerie and the man opening his belt, so if you're not squicked out by voyeurism, it should be fine.

Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/crowdedhouse/whenyoucome.html
And when you come, your majesty to entrap me
Prince of light receding
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses hard like armour
The sooner the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions
Additional prompt: I love how this song has both romantic and spiritual OTT vibes. Is it about soulmates, or worship, or both?
