Aka, How is A Busy and Easily Confusable Fan Supposed to Keep Up?
1) Where are my manners? I forgot to congratulate the winners of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
otherworldlyric icontest #164 ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kwritten and xclaire_delunex! The prompt lyrics for this challenge was the song "Downtown" - the 1960's classic recorded by Petulia Clark. I admit I was too busy to enter and frankly my memories of the song got too much in the way, so I wasn't inspired this time. But oh my goodness, what a lovely batch of entries - when it came time to vote, I completely forgot what the song was bcause these artists were able to divorce the song from it's original context and just create lovely things in keeping with the buffyverse. And such lovelies these were! Incredible work all 'round.
BTW - am I the only person who looked atkwritten's entry and for a moment was confused if it was Dawn or Tara? And I mean that as a compliment - there's sort of a "family resemblance" that bleeds into this delicate, dreamy image. (And y'all know my feelings about my One True Family. If not, I will gladly explain the matter in great detail.)
2) Speaking of OWL, VOTING IS UP for Challenge 165 http://otherworldlyric.livejournal.com/225456.html (yes, I'm away from home again.) This prompt was Sarah McLachlan's "World on Fire" and oh my was this song a natural fit for the buffverse. (yes I submitted three entries.) Coming up with ideas was not the problem this time being able to stop myself was. (I sent my wonderful beta Ryanwickedbish 41 choices to contemplate - after I'd pared down from 75 'twas well nigh ridiculous of me.)
And picking ones to vote for was no problem - except that I could hardly bear to limit myself to three.
So goest thou and vote!
