Soundtrack

For those familiar with my earlier fanfic writing phase (not too many of those around now o.o) I have ALWAYS used music as inspiration for what I write. Always. And I always have a secret stash of songs that fit perfectly for what I'm writing, to haul out for re-kindling muse when I need it most. I have a ton of those for this work too, and they seem to be piling up on me. While creating a playlist for myself, I decided I might as well share these songs :) Some of them are so perfect for the story it's scary, and they are all about different characters, parts or aspects of the story. And so here is a (partial) list. More will most definitely be added as the story evolves.

This vid for 'Two Points For Honesty (Guster)' is absolutely perfect...the pictures are great muse enhancers and a lot of them go with the theme of the story :D

That's it for now, but there'll more later, I'm sure. This is what's in my iPod at the moment though, and what I listen to to refill my muse-o-meter ^_^
