I wrote a story loosely based on “I Will Follow You Into the Dark” by Death Cab for Cutie. It’s different from what I usually write and I really wasn’t sure if it worked, but I got some positive feedback!

I received a beautiful story based on “Jolene” by Dolly Parton, that included a cryptid I’ve not heard of before!

60 works have been posted.

I wished I'd had time to write more treats. There are some requested songs that are definitely great story fodder.

I wrote a story based on a song by Peter Bellamy, based on a Kipling poem of the same name: “Gentlemen-Rankers”.

This is a harsh story. The first two tags are: Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, but there’s a bit of hope in it

I received a beautiful story about one of my favorite songs, "Fish and Bird" by Tom Waits.

The author told me about a restaurant called Fish and Bird, which is themed around Tom Waits songs (https://fishbirdizakaya.com). Turns out the restaurant is pretty near where I live, so I'll have to check it out one of these days.
