I have decided to make a fanmix for Little Dorrit. Quit laughing. I always thought it might be kind of fun to do, and the other day I started to try to think of songs, and I got more and more into it, and now, well, I guess I'm committed!
Question for those of you who've done this before (if any of you have): Do all the songs have to match up exactly with the situations and characters? I mean, if there's a song that describes Amy pretty well except for a couple of lines that don't quite fit, is it okay to use?
Another question: Anyone interested in helping me with the graphics? As you know, that's my weak point.
One more question: Anyone else want to do a Dickensian fanmix of any kind? If you do, I'd be happy to let you put it in a guest post. You know, so I won't be the only 14-year-old girl in the room.
Oh, I've always been a 14-year-old girl, ever since I was about 9. Forget about staying 29 forever. I've never moved past 14.
But I don't know the slightest thing about fanmixes, though it sounds an interesting idea. Basically scoring your fandom, hmm?

Yep, that's pretty much it!
One of my LiveJournal friends has a Susan Pevensie fanmix here, as an example. (By the way, I think you'll like the title of her LJ. :-) )

This post title was very intriguing, lol...
I can't wait to hear what you come up with! I've been wanting to do a DC fanmix for awhile now so maybe I can join you! Even though I've never made one, I don't think you have to make the songs match perfectly, just so long as the bulk goes along with the character or situation. Here are some examples from a member of an LJ community I'm in:

And you know I'd offer to help you with graphics but I have way too much on my plate as it is!

No worries, I think the LJ buddy I mentioned above may be able to help with graphics. I know you're crazy busy!
I would love to see your DC fanmix!

This is a beautiful idea! I can't wait to see your fanmix!
I'll try to put together a Great Expectations one.
