Title: and I forgot to tell you I love you
Fandom: X-Men First Class
Subject: Charles/Erik
Notes: Made for singustosleep's June challenge: movies and black and white. I'm not usually big on movie fandoms, but Tumblr was telling me wonderful things about Charles and Erik so I miiight just have started working on this fanmix before actually watching the movie. In my defence I'm a longtime fan of the comics. So, this is huge. It's actually two mixes in one: there's Charles's side and Erik's side, each chronicling the stages of their relationship from their first meeting to the beach divorce, hinting to a possible future reconciliation. Plus an intro and an outro, bringing the total to a neat 20. Okay, so the outro is actually the song that plays on the credits, but it's a good song and I wanted to include it. They have a song called Love Love playing after a movie where the focus is on the relationship between two guys. That's so heterosexual. So yeah, I have made a mix with a song by Take That. There's also a song in French, which seems fit given all the foreign languages spoken in the movies. None of which were French, but hush. There's Mumford & Sons, Muse, Keane, A Fine Frenzy, Sarah McLachlan lending me the title and a lot of other favourites of mine. Anyway, you can listen to Charles's mix or Erik's mix or to Charles-and-Erik's mix alternating them or you can just loop Love Love all day long. You can even pick the cover you prefer, I made alternates since I don't like black and white covers much. And I'm getting rambly here, I'm sorry about that. And afternoon of listening to Fassavoy interviews can do that to a person. Ohmygod I still can't get over the fact that he said Fassavoy.

Title: When the sun goes down
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Subject: Caroline Forbes
Notes: Made for singustosleep's April challenge: minor character and repetition. Caroline is one of my favourite characters. I couldn't stand her in S1, but she's grown so much and turned into this awesome badass woman. Please don't die, Caroline, I want you to be happy.

Title: His Girl Friday
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Subject: Garcia/Morgan
Notes: Extra mix made for singustosleep's February challenge: OTP and stars. More of half a mix, but I couldn't just pick one of my OTPs. Also, I named this after a song that's not in the mix. Because.

Title: There's gonna be an accident
Fandom: Doctor Who
Subject: the Master
Notes: Made for singustosleep's January challenge: villain and monochromatic. The cover is technically just very desaturated, but I've included an alternate b/w version in the zip. Ten songs plus a bonus one because I was going for the seriously disturbed part of the Master's personality, but in the end I couldn't help myself. As for why I picked the Master, it was a no-brainer. I've had a couple of unfinished Doctor Who mixes on my computer since forever, this was just a convenient excuse to get to them. Next up is either the Doctor or Amy Pond.

Title: My Life Would Suck Without You
Fandom: Castle
Subject: Beckett/Castle
Notes: Made for caseland's fanmix challenge. The zip file also has an alternative backcover design, proof of how much I fiddled with the graphics this time. I'm happy with the choice of songs though so I suppose it evens out.

Title: Fight Your Feelings
Fandom: Merlin
Subject: Arthur/Merlin
Notes: This fanmix goes with the Arthur/Merlin fic I wrote, How To Woo Your Manservant, but I don't think you need to have read it to get the theme. It's about realizing you're in love with someone and finding the courage to act on your feelings.
Bad Romance at the end doesn't mean that the relationship is doomed to fail. It's just that, 1) I like Lady Gaga, 2) I was listening to this song a lot while I wrote, and 3) there's no song for "Bad Romancing".

Title: Harmony
Fandom: Robot Unicorn Attack
Subject: Aim for the stars!
Notes: I think everyone and their dog has played Robot Unicorn Attack already. And if you haven't you really should give it a try, it's very cracktastic and addictive and HARMONY HARMONY OH LOVE~ And I don't know if I should be delighted or scared that fanmix already has a tag for Robot Unicorn Attack.
Twelve songs to celebrate purple landscapes, sparkles, unicorns that shoot rainbows out of their butts, the power of love, sparkles and crashing into stars. And sparkles. Plus bonus Always because it's the soul of the game.
I put a lot of cracktastic tracks in this one (obviously): some questionable songs from the 80s-90s whose music videos always crack me up, ehpeek love songs from movies and all songs that came to my mind with the word "rainbow" in the title. But not "Over the Rainbow" because I can't stand it.
Special thanks to the kind souls on my f-list who encouraged this madness by suggesting more songs.
