An iconic bop, and we did consider someone would ask this. We're more looking for one continuous song though, think more "Skin" and less "Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary". To clarify, I don't think "A Sinner’s Prayer/Fuccubus" would necessarily be a poor fit for this challenge. However, it's all about marketing™️. A transitional interlude and/or use of A-sections and B-sections and a retitle to "A Sinner's Prayer (Fuccubus)" would realistically work fine.

Achilles. Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Love this challenge. Not hurricane already pumping out a submission in a 20 minute stream of conscious writing process just like All Too Well itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I… would strongly suggest not to, honestly. The point of the challenge is to write one song that runs for longer than average as to go against the trend of 2 minute songs curated for Spotify playlists, like ATW10MVTVFTV. Two separate songs, even if related, isn’t really embracing this. And if one song transitions into the other… why not just make it a singular thing?

Achilles. Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Oop my submission last round clocked in at 532 words. All it takes is an extra verse and a long chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes sense, considering I don't think Fuccubus is all that different from Happier Than Ever structurally. I'm looking forward to this challenge though- it's surprising no one's thought of this before.

Jackson Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 so apparently ATW10MVTVFTV is only 462 words and Happier Than Ever is only 339 words But Anaconda is 593 words. Should we rename it the Anaconda challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 @8thPrince I just read the short story you were inspired by for your submission for Round 2—what a lovely selection, and I'm glad I made the time to read it. While I still think your entry stands on its own well, the extra layer of context was fantastic, but I think the fact that it already reads so well without the story being required reading is testament to your writing ability. Typos aside, very lovely work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remmy Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 ATW10MVTVFTV is around 960 words, according to my calculations Between Jackson trying to gaslight and Legend E trying to cheat, I am disgusted with this cast right now!!!
