Heh, I've finally started the Dystopia songfic I mentioned. It's interesting, I think, how it came together. After listening to the song umpteen times to get the 'feel' of it I was left with a very strong impression of a (new) character and their state of mind. I wondered how they'd got to that point in their lives. There were clues in the lyrics and after listening, and pondering, gradually the story wove itself into being...
Shouldn't be a terribly long piece though I'll be curious to see if I can effectively convey the way the song made me feel.
