Curious to know on how people formed their Lyrics.
I created mine first then wrote the story around it!

I kept playing that 'heterosexual' tune then wrote whatever came to mind down. Only took about three long hours.

Quoted from rendevous I didn't spend that long on mine. Once I started it almost wrote itself. The lyrics were the hardest bit. I didn't even write down lyrics when I was in a band. Mind you, we were rubbish.

I spent a lot of time on mine. I enjoyed working it.

I just listened to the song.

It sounded like a song about lost love, so I went with that.

I'm thinking Tony G did Our Time Deserves, and pegged Cindy for Never Let A Good Thing for three reasons; First being, of course, it was very good (and one of my favoriites), secondly it has a chick flick style and feel that I think worked very well for this challenge (which would come from someone who watched a lot of chick flick movies, hence, someone of the female persuasion) and thirdly, Andrea mentions "That's why I'm here and not in Michigan" (where my big dog, the original Black Wolf, is living on a farm up there)....

As far as some of the others, not so sure and to be honest, really didn't stand out from the pack. Overall, though I thought most were very well done with a very high standard, which is nice to see.

Liked Cliff Notes, Damn It Izzy, Chris White, Betty Broadway, Your Song, and Terms of Endowment...Course, Mem is in a class and genre unto itself (of which I would not want any other way)

On the song, I listened to the backing track alot, then tried to fit the song and lyrics to work within the framework of the story.

The lyrics came during the process of writing the script.

My character suddenly had been hit inside her head with a complete dizzy spell
as Nephadeum spoke to her and gave her the first word of the song.

Sometime in the middle of writing and rewriting, I felt the lyrics with the melody supplied which I listened to over and again many times.

Mem is very esoteric like the filthy gibbering lunatic priest and the quasi ichtean angel and worship of fish. It really is much more than that though; it's not fish in the way one might think.

The elder Gods wait just beyond the great gate...

I wish I could play this guessing game but I don't know anyone or their writing well enough yet.  Whaaa.  

For me the lyrics were way harder than I thought they would be.  I had the story mapped out for a week but didn't start writing it till a few hours before the deadline...then I had to write the lyrics.  Whoa.  I was in a total panic when I realized how difficult it was matching up to the tune.  It ended up completely different then what I had in my head all week.  It was great fun...can't wait for the next one!

The point is, that you did it!!! You took on the challenge and you did it!!!

Congratulations!!!

Quoted from Shelton Those suck.

seeing as Baltis is currently Daddying I hereby nominate This as Shelton's Quote of The Week. Good work fella!

I built the lyrics from the dialogs to have a certain connection.

I know a few of them, but for the most part it's hard guessing this time with so many new people.

Quoted from Grandma Bear I know a few of them, but for the most part it's hard guessing this time with so many new people.

I really thought Cindy wrote Autumn Walk, but I guess I'm wrong. I knew Michel's write away. And I thought the Monster Schlong- God love it, was his.

I did not work as much on a short as I should have. But lyrics... I wrote a short and then spend several hours on the lyrics only to completely rewrite them later. --Still don't like mine

I'll think twice next time I decide to belittle some song.

Yep, I gave up guessing.  I was pretty impressed though with the quality of the entries I read this OWC.  Good job all who entered.

And for those interested in such things, I wrote my lyrics first and then built my story around them.  I was really tight for time though and just finished a few hours before the deadline.

I think my script is lagging a bit in the reading department so my log line must be crap or people must be discouraged by the other comments left.  

I thought yours was good Michael!  

I think most scripts that got posted late seem to have received fewer reads and the most went to the first ones posted.
