Dr Archeville Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Life's a show and we all play our parts And when the music starts We open up our hearts FC:PbP is offering the community another "vignette" opportunity. If you'd like to read about our New Years Vignette exercise look here and here; info on our July 4th vignette can be found here, and on the Bloody Valentine/Friday the 13th one here. If you weren't around in those days (or even if you were), keep reading to find out more! The Maestro has enacted his most diabolical scheme ever! Acting in concert with Medea, the Conductor of Crime has found a way to force people... to sing! And not just sing, but to sing about themselves and their secrets! The duo plans to use their newfound knowledge to blackmail certain wealthy and influential members of the city. Daedalus, Johnny Rocket, Seven and Sonic will stop them... but not before a large pulse of the mind-manipulating melody goes off, hitting several PCs throughout the city. Who: Any player who is interested, for one or both of their characters. Plus any back up singers or chorus. What: Write a song for your character. The song must in some way define the character, and reveal some hidden secret. You're free to base it off some existing tune, but if you do, please let us know what that tune is. When: The deadline for submissions will be Tuesday, June 30th by 11:59 PM EST (GMT -5). Where: Your "performance" can take place anywhere in Freedom City; if you do not want your PC's secret being revealed, have the musical interlude happen in a secluded place, such as your own HQ. When you submit your vignette, please make a note clearly indicating in which forum it should be posted, as well as when it would be happening. Why: To enhance our community, to flex your writing muscles, to think more deeply about your character, and to earn a bonus PP for your character for the month of June. How: Once your story is finished and proofed, PM it to one of the Refs (Ecalsneerg, MarkK, MBCE, Sandman XI, or myself). When all the stories are in, one of our staff members will post them to the appropriate forums (which is why we need you to be sure to tell us where it should go!), and provide links to them in this thread. DO NOT post them in a forum yourself, otherwise it will not be counted for this exercise. Post here with questions.

Avalon Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 There are parts of verses that stop abruptly (i.e. there are some parts that don't mesh up properly). Otherwise, awesome song!

Geez3r Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Doc, do you mind throwing some of that creativity my way? Trying to do one for Malice based on Shiver My Timbers from Muppet Treasure Island, progress is quite slow.
Dr Archeville Posted June 21, 2009 Author Posted June 21, 2009 I hate all Mutants I hate them so Yo, ho, hate-ho ?
