Songfic?

[popkin16]

How exactly do you write a songfic?

I have an idea for one I've tried writing a couple times, but I just have no idea what I'm doing. Does the actual fanfic part have to match the lyrics, or can the overall...er...plot of the fic match the song? I can't seem to explain it better than that. Oh well, I'll just write it and then hide it away. *shrug*

I never seem to be happy with my writing, so I'm too afraid to post anything. I'm a wuss, I guess. -.-

Hey, I think I just wrote one, if by 'songfic' you mean fic inspired by a song. What a coincidence O-O. Plus, it's a little cookie for your kind self.
PS. Don't hide it - post it! I wanna read it, you know...

What a coincidence! At this very moment I'm reading your songfic. XD It absolutely rocks, of course, and I'm pretty sure it's going to leave me wanting more of your writing.

So it's a songfic, then. Everytime I hear the song, I think of this pairing, so I thought I'd write about it. The fic isn't for PSoH, though I have written a one-shot for that (and am in the middle of two multi-chaptered fics). The problem is, I don't have a beta and I'm too insecure to post on LJ (especially when people who write very, very well - like you - want to read it. EEP).

Sorry for the whining, and for going on and on about it. -.-
