<< Songfics are fanfiction written around the original lyrics of a song.  If
 it's rewriting the lyrics to suit anime, then it's a filk.
 
 Songfics can range from music videos put to paper all the way to more
complex
 plots, but they all revolve around the jyrics.

O_O ooook,.... that's what they call them. I wrote a songfic about a
riverboat called Proud Mary. I rewrote it 5 times, and get this: I WROTE IT
OUT BY HAND!!!!! O_o o_O  Now I wouldn't dream of doing that, but Proud Mary
was the basis for a ship in my story. Then I discovered Star Wars and Yamato,
and the rest is future history ^_^*
