Dime in the Jukebox Fest 2023



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.

Song or music video:
Bo Burnham - Microwave Popcorn

Listen/watch link:
https://youtu.be/cKtmf5Zj9V4

Lyrics:
I put the packet on the glass (What glass?)
The little glass dish in the microwave (Got it)
I close the door (Which door?)
The door to the microwave! What is wrong with you?!

https://genius.com/Bo-burnham-microwave-popcorn-lyrics

Additional prompt: So I know this is one guy talking to himself while failing to make microwave popcorn but I love how silly this song is and how much it sounds like two people bickering while failing to make microwave popcorn. Something where it's in fact two people (two frat bros, a couple, one human and an alien, all three or whatever else you can come up with) bickering with each other about microwave popcorn, failed cooking attempts and their life in general would be absolutely delightful.

Song: No One Dies From Love - Tove Lo

Listen/watch link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMWLX0KXwF4

Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/tovelo/noonediesfromlove.html

Additional prompt: Androids, AIs, and other synthetic beings falling in love! With all the difficulties and complications that entails. It doesn't need to be exactly like the music video, but continuing where it leaves off is welcome, too. Modern setting is fine, and so is space opera fantasy, straight-up sci-fi, etc.

Song: Let Them In - PVRIS

Listen/watch link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1TNqdp4WoA

Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/pvris/letthemin.html

Additional prompt: I get the vibes that these are two people at odds, possibly even enemies, and one of them doesn't want to let the other into their heart. Whatever plotline that makes you think of!

Mr. Zebra - Tori Amos

Song or music video: "Mercy" - Bad Omens

Listen/watch link: YouTube link

Lyrics:
When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke
We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show

If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no

Genius link

Additional prompt: No specific prompt, but I'd be interested no matter who the 'god' named in the song is! Any real life or made up religion! Or cult?

Warnings: Some swear words

(embraidery on ao3)

Song or music video: W.I.T.C.H. - Devon Cole

Lyrics:
Rumor on the street is that her apples are delicious
The jury says she's charming but her exes say she's wicked
I swear to God I saw her howlin' at the sky
She ain't out to get you but she's better on your side

And she don't wanna be anybody else
She's a woman in total control of herself
It's such a wonder to be under her spell
What a woman in total control of herself

Additional prompt: I just love hearing about this woman! Is she an actual witch, or is that just rumour? Are her exes right, or are they exaggerating her wickedness? She says "Am I bad to the bonе, 'cause I get what I want?" What does she want? How does she get it?

The narrator says "Villainous, kitty queen, she's got tricks up her sleeve / and I got a few up mine." What's the narrator's deal? Dating/in love with/broken up with the "witch?" If you go with romance (gen is also great!) I'd love a F/F or F/NB or NB/NB romance, but any kind of romance is welcome.

Song or music video: Past the Mission by Tori Amos

Listen/watch link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdIgXD1-93U

Lyrics: https://genius.com/Tori-amos-past-the-mission-lyrics

Additional prompt: freedom, regret, accepting and liberating yourself -- those are some themes the song and/or video touches on. The lyrics gives me a light fairytale vibe but the video itself is interesting -- what town is Tori walking through? Who are the children she's bringing out of their homes? Is it a town at the edge of the world or some other metaphorical universe?

I like the song for its quiet heartfelt-ness too, particularly Tori's piano and the siren guitar part -- it's chills-inducing imo. Feel free to lean into the emotional vibes!

Warnings: online discussions of this song may allude to sexual violence.

Song or music video: Djohariah by Sufjan Stevens

Listen/watch link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVksS9UHV3Q

Lyrics: https://genius.com/Sufjan-stevens-djohariah-lyrics

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.

Song or music video: Simulation Swarm by Big Thief

Listen/watch link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnatkV_92Bw

Lyrics: https://genius.com/Big-thief-simulation-swarm-lyrics

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

Song: Badtimes by Laika

Listen/watch link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqZZ72UbOgA

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?

(Maybe a little less contentious than you had in mind but I have regency brainrot at the moment)

Leanna looked down at her hands, elegantly gloved, folded in her lap as the footman closed the door.
Émile was a viscount. Foreign nobility. He had family, an estate across the channel. He was tied to the French king’s court.

Her father had done well to advance their family’s standing. Janet, her older sister, had married well. If she wasn’t welcome in society, they never would have met. But she was not an aristocrat.

They had danced. He’d kissed her in the garden under the blooming jasmine and the golden moon, but even then she had felt the weight of his life bearing down on her. It was more suffocating than the perfumed air.

And yet. His lips were soft, his touch gentle. The spark in his eyes ignited something inside her. Sense told her such feeling feelings would be worth nothing in ten or twenty years, but what might her life look like then? Would she recognize herself? She couldn’t imagine it.

Still, as the carriage pulled away, she looked back and caught him standing on the steps, watching. She knew from the look on his face and the way her fingers curled in despair that sense had lost his hold on both of them.

Oh this has such delicious tension - wanting someone but not all the trappings that come with them, but not being able to simply stop the feelings. A lot of emotion in such a short span!

Song or music video: "7" - Catfish and the Bottlemen

Listen/watch link: YouTube link

Lyrics:
And I'd beg you, but you know I'm never home
And I'd love you, but I need another year alone


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?

Would she recognize herself? She couldn’t imagine it.

Love this!

I love the family concept and the personalities you gave them all!

Personally I would not be keen to listen to an all-corvid band. I don't know if my ears could handle it - but probably that guy deserved it ;)
