eliyesMan, making a fanmix is harder than I thought. I figured that the hardest bit would be getting enough songs together for the subject, so I didn't even try until I realised I was associating more than enough songs for mix with the characters in question and their relationship and story.
I have too many songs.
"Just make a big fanmix" isn't the answer, either. I have songs that could be image songs for each of them individually. I have songs which work for both of them and thus demonstrate common ground. I have songs with which I can show the arc of their most recent storyline together. I have songs that work really well as duets about their relationship in general, and at particular points. I have songs which are canonically associated with them.I have songs I associate with their friends/enemies/orther ralationships/other stories trying to sneak in.
Trying to put all these together is problematic. Figuring out which ones to drop if I decide to pare it down is also difficult.
I was gonna make this and then present it to a fancomm for the other fans of the characters to share in, but now I'm wondering if I should make a post there asking for some opinions. Maybe a poll. I'm not sure if that's even appropriate to the comm, and I kinda don't want to ruin the surprise.
Maybe I should just give them a jumble of songs arranged by loose category. :/
