The One-Line Lyric Challenge has been updated -- please read below! Welcome to the One-Line Lyric Challenge! Every month, I will post two songs: One with a lyric prompt (start of the month) and one as a song prompt (middle of the month). Entries will be due at the end of the month for either prompt. Lyric Prompt: Write a poem or story and include the prompted lyric line somewhere in your work, word for word. Use it for the opening line, dialogue, character description, whatever you want. Please bold the line to make it easier for me to find. It's OK if your work is loosely inspired by the song, but try not to make it too similar or copy the song. If you don't like the provided lyric prompt, you can pick a different line from the lyrics to incorporate (only one line). Song Prompt: Write a poem or story inspired by the song. You do not need to include any lyrics directly, and in some cases there may not be any lyrics. Just write whatever the music or lyrics inspires. Please link back to the challenge somewhere in your entry using {item:lyric} and post your entry as a link in the comments here. The Prizes: 5K GPs, a merit badge of my choosing, plus a guaranteed review of your entry. If you enter both prompts that month, you will get double the prizes! Feel free to listen and comment on the music even if you don't plan to enter the challenge! There may be gift points in store for people who are active in the comments or share / promote the challenge.

| For April, we have a classic from Fleetwood Mac. Based on the story of a legendary old Welsh witch, Rhiannon. Live, of course, because there's nothing quite like watching Stevie Nicks perform. I think there's been a bit of confusion around here about how the challenge works, so I'll try and clarify for those who are new (or old) and confused: Every month, I'll post a song with a line from the lyrics as a writing prompt. Lately I've been posting two prompts so that you have the option to pick either one (but not both). The challenge is to include the line, word for word, in a story or poem of your own. It's up to you how you want to incorporate the line. It's fine if your entry is inspired by the song, but try not to make it too similar or copy the song. The idea is to get creative and use the given prompt in a different way or context. Just ask if you still have any questions about how it works! It's not meant to be strict, so as long as you include the prompt in your work you'll probably get the prizes. As it stands, you can still go back and do any of the previous prompts if you want to! And if you haven't already, please fill out this quick little survey: "The One-Line Lyric Challenge Pop Quiz!"  This is your chance to have a say in how things are run! (plus, you'll get GPs for filling it out) "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac Lyrics: ▼ Prompt: "Taken by the wind" Challenge Prompt: "When the sky is starless" Note that there are TWO prompts now to choose from. The challenge prompt is meant to be a bit harder, so it's worth a bit more in prizes. |
