References to violence/torture and canonical character death
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Don’t you hear the drums, Jack?

Hi! I'm done with my current prompts. Can I have new ones ?

I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room Can anybody help me with these exit wounds I don't know how much more love, this heart can lose And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds

A million pieces of me On the floor I'm damaged goods For all to see Now who would ever want to be with me

Edit of Owen and the sads , made the Torchwood Music Fest 2023
As those who participated in our 2021 edition may remember, this fest requires signing up.
Anyone who signs up will receive a set of music prompts to use as inspiration. This time, each set of prompts will consist of 5 songs.
You can use as many of them as you want to create as many fanworks as you feel like! This means if you really vibe with one of the song prompts, you can create several fanworks based on it, or you can make something for each of the songs, or weave all of them together into one story, etc.
You can submit your fanworks at any point during this timeframe. If you are done with a set of prompts (whether you’ve created fanworks for all or just one of the songs), you can ask for another set. If you dislike the prompts you got and would like to request new ones let us know! We will send you a new set and put the unused songs back on the list to send to other participants.
Like last time, the pool of songs we’ll use as prompts will come from the fandom itself. Anyone (participant or not) can submit as many songs as they want for us to assign as prompts randomly. The forms will be in the notes of this post and in the blog description. (Please remember to include both the name of the song and the artist, and to send each song as a separate form submission.)
All types of fanworks are accepted for this fest, with (mostly) the usual requirements: the minimum word count for writing is 500 words (applicable to fic, meta, not!fic, and headcanons; poetry is exempt from this requirement), and 30 seconds is the minimum length for videos. As the prompts are songs this time, we’re upping the songlist limit to 6 songs (plus an explanation for how each song fits the characters/ship/situation and how they tie together to tell a story).
If you have an idea for a fanwork that seems unconventional or less common, send us an ask! We welcome all types of content for this fest and we will be happy to hear from you!
As usual, we’ll have an ao3 collection for this fest (link in the notes). If you have any questions that weren’t answered here, you can check out our FAQ or send us an ask :)
