Announcement

Hello everyone!
We have been getting a lot of questions (which is great! Keep em coming), but I wanted to clarify some things and tell you guys some stuff. You can pick ANY song, from ANY genre in music. As well as ANY pairing, and ANY category using the Twilight universe. Cool?
Also, the most important thing is to interpret the song to the best of your ability. If you want to use the lyrics in the one-shot, knock yourself out! But you have to make sure you stick to the LYRICS of your chosen song. For example, if I wanted to use California Gurls by Katy Perry, the entry should be about California, girls in bikini tops and shorts, and partying at the beach, NOT women dressed as candy canes, angry gingerbread men and a whipped cream bra. Do we understand each other? Good! :)
There is no right or wrong way to define the song you use to tell your story. All you must do is stay true to what the song speaks of.
I hope that clears up some more questions. Feel free to contact us at any time, specially Lotty or I since we know the most. Asking the rest of our "staff" is great to, but there might be some questions they won't be able to answer. Whether it's because we haven't discussed it or we didn't think about it.
I hope you all have a great day and thanks for considering our contest!
Sincerely,
DanceWithMeTonight

Rule Change


Hey everyone! 
Due to some comments and concerns shared after our "launch" yesterday Lotty and I have decided to change one of our rules. Rule number 4 which indicates that all entries must be M-rated, as in including lemons, has been re-written. We are allowing the possibility of the higher rating but it is no longer necessary to have to enter the contest. 
As this is our first contest, we take suggestions, comments and concerns seriously. It was literally just an idea I had that Lotty encouraged me to do and we want this to be a fun, drama-free experience. Anything else you think would be an asset or something to improve on our contest, please don't be afraid to contact us and let us know privately.
Thank you for considering entering our contest and we hope you enjoy it!
Sincerely,
DanceWithMeTonight

Lyrics to Life Contest

Music is the moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
Plato.

Music is everywhere. From deep and dark rock metal music, to sweet and fluffy pop songs, music and their respective lyrics are a part of our daily life. Here is your chance to bring music to life!
This contest challenges you to take a song, from any genre, and turn it into an amazing one-shot!
