Hello and welcome to the info page for The Thespian Book Club's first mod-led writing challenge, entitled the Cross-Musical Songfic Challenge
What is the Cross-Musical Songfic Challenge?
Well, first and foremost, this is an attempt at engagement in the community. But, what does one write for the challenge? A oneshot in which you take a song from one musical and write a songfic with it based around characters from a different musical. For example, a songfic following Noel Gruber from Ride the Cyclone but set to All That Jazz from Chicago
What is a songfic?
For anyone unclear on the terminology, a songfic is a piece of fanfiction that incorporates lyrics from a pre-existing song. This can be the characters singing it or the lyrics showing up in text to go alongside whatever is happening in the fic.
Rules for this challenge
1. THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT ON THIS CHALLENGE! The challenge is set to run indefinitely and submissions are always welcome
2. Crossposting to sites like AO3, Wattpad, Fanfiction.net, Tumblr, etc. is welcome and encouraged! Bonus points (there's no points, I'll just love you forever) if you link back to this site in your crosspost
3. Because this is the first challenge and has no time limit, there are no specific rewards (so it's not a contest, just a challenge), however the first five members or guests to submit a oneshot will get a mod shoutout in a general forum announcement
4. This is a general rule on this forum but I'll restate it here- Cooperating with ProBoards guidelines, sexual content is strictly prohibited
5. There is no minimum or maximum word limit for submissions
If you choose to write something for this challenge, please put it over on the Submissions sub-board
