Jukebox 2020 Letter
Apr. 7th, 2020 12:48 amDear Jukebox Creator,
Hello! Welcome to my music library (or, well, a tiny portion of it). 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:![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)

General Likes:
In general I’m a huge fan of any kind of sci-fi or fantasy setting, especially if there’s adventure and romance. A (non-exhaustive) list of character tropes I enjoy:
* knights * princesses * ladies with swords * librarians * sailors * mermaids * cyborgs * artificial intelligence * bards/musicians * space pirates/crews * witches * magical creatures hiding in human form * dragons * fair folk * mothman
I also enjoy stories set on ships (sailing ships, airships, spaceships - take your pick!), post-apocalyptic settings*, fairy tales (especially with a twist) and quest-type adventures. Or quiet moments in between the action when characters can decompress together, regardless of the wider setting. I also have a weakness for domestic fluff and modern settings like coffee shops/universities (with or without a supernatural twist!)
*although I like post-apocalyptic stuff, I’d prefer to avoid anything that touches too closely on our current situation. Far-future post-apocalypse is preferred, or people coping with some disaster other than a pandemic.
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. Found family and loyalty are always welcome.
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. Mutual pining is great, though I prefer it to end happily. 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). Most of my ships in other fandoms can be summarized as “idiots to lovers” so feel free to make use of that dynamic.
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). I’d prefer to steer away from homophobia or transphobia too. If possible, I’d prefer nothing with a completely hopeless ending.
Anyway, on to the songs!
( A Bar in Amsterdam - Katzenjammer (Song) )
( Fighter - Joseph (Song) )
( Flares - The Script (Song) )
( The Moss - Cosmo Sheldrake (Song) )
( Power Over Me - Dermot Kennedy (Song) )
( Saucy Sailor - The Wailin’ Jennys (Song) )
( You - Pearl and the Beard (Song) )
A note about the youtube links: They should all work in the U.S., but in the event that you’re located elsewhere and something is region-locked for you, feel free to leave me an anonymous comment and I’ll try to find a better version.
