Monthly Theme: Music by Sting
Happy New Year, everyone! We hope you all had a relaxing and joyous holiday!
This month's theme is:
We mods believe that Sting would figure prominently in Giles' record collection going back to the 70s with The Police, so we thought it would be fun to draw inspiration from music again. Sting is a prolific songwriter who's songs tell stories and are rich with imagery. He's also explored many musical genres: new wave, rock, jazz, reggae, classical, folk, and worldbeat (a blend of western rock or pop with traditional ethic musical elements from other cultures, ie "Desert Rose"). Giles, being a music lover, would have enjoyed the diversity of Sting's music.
Every week there will be a different prompt from an album or collection of albums with song title suggestions, but you can choose any song in that album that inspires.
This week's prompt (with a few song title suggestions) comes from:
Just a reminder that any short fic inspired by the monthly theme is welcome and there is no time limit for when you need to post your prompt inspired works. If any prompt inspires longer fic or other fanworks (art or vids or playlists), you are welcome to pimp them here with a link to the work. We love Giles and want him to get all the love he deserves.
