Jukebox is an exchange for writing stories based on or inspired by songs, so it's halfway between fanfic and original fiction.
Here's the archive.
Here's a table with links to all the songs.
Light the Sky (Art). Sunny Came Home - Shawn Colvin
Five Things Me and Julio Did Down by the Schoolyard - Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Paul Simon. Really sweet, fun story.
I maintain that we did nothing wrong. We were perfectly normal kids doing normal kid shit down by the schoolyard.
And a set of lovely, folkloric post-apocalypse stories. They're all the mythic/archetypal type of post-apocalypse, not the miserable cannibal type. The first two are very hopeful, the second two aren't unhopeful, but the tone is more haunting.
A Beginning Song. Sons & Daughters - The Decemberists
For the tide always turns, and the day always dawns. That is how the world works.
a thousand miles just to slip this skin. Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen
Jude believes that there is nothing in the wasteland, but a chance encounter with a stranger might just prove him wrong.
The Chance. Easy Way Out - Low Roar
We could have saved the world, but I stepped away.
If You Can Hear. Drowning in the Sound - Amanda Palmer
In the beginning was the Sound.
