It's taken me two years, Thunderdome, but I'm finally back on the throne during the lead-up to the
Eurovision Song Contest. The original
Eurovision Week occurred after Erogenous Beef introduced me to this glorious celebration of ambiguously gay twins dancing in giant ruby pauldrons; now--at last!--it's time for Round Two.
Your task is to choose a Eurovision entry video from this year's crop. Your story must somehow relate to that video and/or song! Setting, theme, tone, characters, costume, whatever: you have to incorporate something, and the less we have to stretch to see a connection, the better off you'll be. Name your pick when you sign up. Only one writer may work with any song, so it's first come, first serve.
You have the option of letting the judges choose a song for you instead--but take heed: my Eurovision tastes run less toward ballads, more toward
falsetto dubstep Dracula and
Ukrainian crossdressers with stars on their heads. Judge selections may come from any point in Eurovision history, so this is your one and only way to have a shot at the likes of
"So Lucky." Such opportunities have a price, however.
We will not hand out song assignments any earlier than Thursday.
Lest you forget, some restrictions apply:
No fanfiction, no nonfiction, no erotica, no poetry, and no GoogleDocs.
Got it? Good! Go forth and sing!
