heidiCheck out FictionAlley's Be Timely! holiday season challenge:
This holiday season, the challenge involves songs. Your objective is to work at least a line (anywhere between five and thirty words) of at least one song - and no more than five songs - somewhere into your challenge.
The trick is, the song had to have been released in the same calendar year in which the story takes place; for purposes of this Challenge, we are using the timeline from The Lexicon. We recommend using the links at the bottom of this post to see what songs were out in each year since the 50s.
More than one person can use any particular song title for their challenge entry and you can use the title any way you want, except as the title (or at least, as the story's title only). The bit from the song needs to be part of the story itself - just be sure to fill in the bit of the template where you name the song you're referring to and provide the artist's name! You don't need to name the lyricist, but you certainly can if you want to.
Minimum word count is 90 words; maximum is 600. There will be one prize for the most creative use of the lyrics, and one prize for the most humorous use of the lyrics. Three runners-up in each category will receive something from FA's grab bag of stuff we've been sent this year.
