Hello, everyone, and welcome to our annual Lilith Faire challenge!

Every day, I will post links to three songs by female or nonbinary artists. Write a story based on one of those songs. You may write three stories every day, if all three songs catch your fancy or spark something. One to 500 words will get you one novelty bead, and so on for each additional 500 words. There may also be special bonus novelty beads for completing all three stories each day and for completing all stories.

Stories are due one week after the songs are posted, from whatever the timestamp on the post is. I'll try to get them up as close to midnight EST as possible.

Any questions? Ask them here!


Today's songs:

Main Stage: Last Dance, Donna Summer
Second Stage: You Build a Wall, Grace Petrie
Village Stage: Heartstrings, Leighton Meester
