Jukebox Exchange 2018
Apr. 5th, 2018 01:47 pmDear Jukebox Creator,
Hello! Welcome to my music library (or, well, a tiny portion of it). This is my first time participating in this exchange, so it’ll be interesting to see how it goes. I’m excited to see what you come up with, and I’m pretty easy to please. The prompts in this letter are to help get you started, but if you have an idea already, feel free to run with it! I’m sure I’ll love whatever it is, as long as you steer clear of my DNWs.
If you want to know more about me, feel free to poke around here (it’s mostly exchange letters, haha). You can also find me on Tumblr:

General Likes:
In general I’m a huge fan of any kind of sci-fi or fantasy setting. A lot of the songs I’ve requested give me either post-apocalyptic or nautical vibes, but feel free to interpret that loosely. Maybe one of the characters is a sailor...or maybe their “ship” is a spaceship and they’re a space pirate! Maybe a character is a mermaid, or a robot space mermaid, or something else! In other words, don’t worry about deviating from the ideas I’ve suggested, I’d love to see creative takes on this. (And if you really aren’t into writing sci-fi/fantasy, I won’t be upset with a more mundane setting. Just write me a fun adventure!)
I really love character-driven stories with a lot of emotion. I’m all about the fluff, but I also enjoy angst with a happy ending - and a lot of these songs probably lend themselves to angst more than fluff. For gen fics, I love to see characters building friendships, working together, going on adventures, getting into (and out of) trouble. Anything with characters out in nature is pretty great too. For shippy fics, I have a huge weakness for cuddling, (mild) hurt/comfort, and, uh...characters getting soaked and having to snuggle to warm up, haha. Kisses are good (awkward or sweet or steamy). I’m also totally down for things like “characters have to share a bed for some reason” or other situations where the characters kind of get thrown together and then develop feelings for each other. And for a lot of these songs, I think a “characters meet, are separated by circumstances, and later reunite” scenario could be really great. (Or “lovers to enemies to lovers” maybe, if it’s romance you’re going for).
Oh, and I don’t really care if you keep the genders of the characters the same as listed in the song - I welcome characters of any genders and in any romantic combo (including trans and nonbinary characters). That said, I do have a particular love for femslash and for female protagonists in general, so I will be extra excited if you create something featuring the ladies. ^_^
I’ve requested art or fic for all of these, so do whichever you prefer! For art, I really enjoy a wide variety of styles, from sketches to watercolors to digital pieces. I love bright, saturated colors if you decide to work in color, but I also love greyscale and black and white. I think most of my fic prompts will work for art too, but if you don’t see anything you like, feel free to do your own thing. :)
Dislikes (Do Not Want):
Character death or maiming, including characters getting infected with some terminal disease. Some background violence is okay, but nothing too graphic (and no torture!) Abusive relationships. Incest. Sexual violence of any kind. Explicit sex (allusions to sex or situations that get kind of steamy are okay, just...keep it teen rated or lower, please).
Anyway, on to the songs!
( A Bar in Amsterdam - Katzenjammer (Song) )
( Black Vessel - Pearl and the Beard (Song) )
( From Finner - Of Monsters and Men (Song) )
( Patient Zero - Aimee Mann (Song) )
( Pistols at Dawn - Seinabo Sey (Song) )
( Sailor and Siren - Kuinka (Song) )
( Saucy Sailor - The Wailin’ Jennys )
( Ship to Wreck - Florence + the Machine (Song) )
( The Woodpile - Frightened Rabbit (Song) )
Oh, and just a note - I tested all the videos to make sure they work outside of my country (so they definitely work in the U.S. and Germany, at least) but in the event that something is region-locked for you, feel free to leave me an anonymous comment and I’ll try to find a better version.
