You Want It Darker
The Merry Month of Cohen Awaits and You Want It Darker
Usual parameters as before but this year’s twist: No Happy Endings.
1. Pick a Leonard Cohen song. Any Cohen song/lyrics you like as long as they sing the Siren’s Call of Pain and Angst. This year there are no happy endings.
2. Pick a date between 1 May and 15 May to sign up. If we get more than 15 sign ups, that’s great! We will double/triple up. I will turn no one away. Message this blog and you’ll be added to the timetable. Message any time with questions, etc…
3. Produce a fan work (art, fic, vid, gifset, poem, podfic, filk, etc…) that is based on some aspect of Star Trek (characters, plotlines, settings, pairings, ratings etc) and is somehow related to your chosen Cohen song. You can use the lyrics, the title, or the overall feel.
4. Mashing up Star Trek fandoms is cool but keep any crossovers contained in the Star Trek universe.
5. Post it to your chosen platform on your chosen date.
6. Either message this blog with the details of where it’s posted so we can publicize it, or if you’ve posted it on tumblr, tag your post with #merrymonthofcohen and tag this blog.
7. If you’re posting on AO3 you can also add your fan work to the you_want_it_darker collection.
