Favorite Fic-writing songs · 7:19pm Apr 29th, 2015
Sometimes whenever I'm stuck between chapters in stories or in between stories, sometimes I listen to music to help kickstart the process. Songs by KingSpartaX37 and Foozogz are some of my favorites. I've also drawn inspiration from non-MLP songs to write some of my chapters.
Here is a list of just some songs that have helped jumpstart the creative process
- Make A Wish - Foozogz
- Rainbow Rocks Road - KingSpartaX37
- Dazzling Bolts - KingSpartaX37
- The Kraken - POTC: Dead Man's Chest - This song helped me write the 2nd chapter for Hunted.
So what songs do the rest of ya'll like? Do you listen to music if you're stuck thinking about where to go as far as what comes next in your stories?
I listen to KingSpartaX37's (A.K.A. Delta Brony) music, and I love it! In fact, I had a crazy story idea from the song Dazzling Bolts; a second person story with the protagonist as a Siren who is unaware of who he really is, until The Dazzlings bring it to his attention, asking him if he could find a way to give them their powers back, also, I had another idea in the process, female Sirens may feed off of negative energy, but male Sirens feed by stealing away a person or pony's negative emotions, leaving behind positive emotions instead. Anyway, I planned the song, Dazzling Bolts to be a final battle music, conducted by the protagonist to protect The Dazzlings and deafeat The Rainbooms, who had discovered that they were planning to regain their powers and tried to get rid of them once and for all, but they were saved by the protagonist
I listen to any song I enjoy but depending on the mood of te chapter I'll listen to songs like Hellfire from Disney's hunchback of notre dame to inspire a darker them. Songs like Eye of the tiger by Survivor and Rock the dragon from Dragonball z to inspire action sequences. Sad songs like Who wants to live forever by Queen(It's sad because of what was going through when they sang it) to inspire scenes involving emotional stress.
