Basically, it's a fandom thing. People take a well-known tune and then put new words to it, about their favorite fandom, either a movie series, TV show, or book series.
I need YOU to put on your creative cap and do some filking for me.
You see these books to the left? The covers of the first two AFV DEFENDER books.
Book 3 is coming out in December (at least, that's the plan, I keep getting sidetracked from revisions and editing ...)
What's the TITLE for AFV Defender Book 3?
ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOATHED BEFORE
We kind of go backward in time and show you a few important episodes from M'kar's childhood and years at the Academy on Le'anka.
If you've read HERE THERE WERE DRAGONS, there's an episode that sort of gets glossed over, during which M'kar has an odd adventure on Nisandros, her homeworld, which she doesn't want to talk about. She promises to report to her captain later on the details, and refers to it as the "All The Boys I've Loathed Before incident."
Well, NOW's the time.
So what does this have to do with FILKING?
Write me the lyrics for this adventure -- M'kar dealing with some really arrogant, misguided, unreliable, disappointing, power-hungry, socially climbing jerks, who have tried to take advantage of either her telepathic Talent or her Nisandrian blood, her royal status, her diplomatic connections, for their own profit.
What's your PRIZE?
Your choice of either all three books in ebook or audio (when I get them recorded, of course -- which I hope to have done in time for the release of ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOATHED BEFORE), or the new, third book in paper.
Check back here, and on the Ye Olde Dragon Books website blog for snippets of M'kar's story as I get them refined and polished, for help in writing the song -- and check the Ye Olde Dragon Books blog for the rules and deadline.
Ready?
Set.
Let the silliness begin!
