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.

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.
Past the Mission (Tori Amos).
Date: 2023-03-04 06:26 pm (UTC)But her hands are still trembling, and the world still hurts.
(This is something only she knows.)
Her name is not hers anymore. She eats and drinks and breathes like a shadow. Who is she now, with (and without) all this rage? She has nothing but her books and her pain and her empty hands--red and sad, strong and stubborn, like her heartbeat. Like the roses.
Has she gone too far? The edge of the world is sharp, and she still has no answers. But somewhere, deep down, I know she knows. She walks away, past the mission, behind the prison tower. The shadows walk her home.
