Another first contact snippet for #WIPSnips today, from The Rothwell Incident. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This month's musical interludes are courtesy of the #emojisounds #MusicChallenge, and we'll start where I finished my 90s Top 30 a while ago, with the Queens of Britpop cool. 🚗 👩🏻‍🎤 Elastica 🎵 Car Song (1995) 💿 Elastica

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 28 🎬 Soul 👩‍🎤 Altered Images 🎵 Dead Pop Stars (1981) Everybody's dead, Dave.

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 27 🎬 Coco 👨🏼‍🎤 Fred Again and the Blessed Madonna 🎵 Marea (We've Lost Dancing) (2021) 💿 Actual Life (April 14 – December 17 2020) Not sure if this track was released in Mexico, but it made the top 30 in Lithuania. Which is nice.

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 26 🎬 Zootopia 👨🏼‍🎤 Athlete 🎵 Vehicles & Animals (2003) 💿 Vehicles & Animals Wob.

#WSPit #W #CS #SF #In #ND The Rothwell Incident: E.T. x A Kind of Spark Today I've been pitching my next book, The Rothwell Incident, which has over the years has gone through many iterations, and 2 main cover concepts. So my question to #BookSky & #WriteSky is: what do these say? Which is better?

The Rothwell Incident: The X-Files, but make it England in 1988. 👽 First contact 🛸 UFO crash 🕵‍♂️ Shady govt agency 💊 Second summer of love 🕺 Rave culture ♾️ Neurodivergent rep #WSPit #W #CS #SF #In #ND

#WSPit The Rothwell Incident: E.T. for adults - if the adults were a retired B-movie actor, a struggling soft drink delivery man, and an eternal optimist; and if Elliott was a 16-year-old autistic girl who caused E.T. to crash in the first place. Coming to your planet this year. #W #CS #SF #In #ND

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 25 🎬 Frozen 👨🏼‍🎤 Vanilla Ice 🎵 Ice Ice Baby (1990) 💿 To the Extreme I know it's cheesy but it's the best I could come up with... under pressure. 😉 (I'm not even sorry.) youtu.be/rog8ou-ZepE?...

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 24 🎬 Wreck-It Ralph 👨🏻‍🎤 Trans-X 🎵 Living on Video (1983) 💿 Living on Video Some of the tech in this video just makes me want to say 'wob'.

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 23 🎬 Tangled 👨🏻‍🎤 Wob 🎵 Rapunzel (2001) 💿 I Can’t Stay Long This is really just to give you all an excuse to say 'wob'. Try it, it's oddly satisfying.

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 22 🎬 The Princess and the Frog 👨🏻‍🎤 R.E.M. 🎵 New Orleans Instrumental No 1 (1992) 💿 Automatic for the People This tune originally had lyrics about a princess and a frog, but Michael Stipe thought they were a bit rubbish, so... here we are.

Listening to The Creative Penn on a walk on the beach... already added Surface Detail to my #tbr pile and signed e-books to my list of things yo look into. And that’s just the intro 😳 #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 21 🎬 Up 👨🏻‍🎤 The Kinks 🎵 Looney Balloon (1989) 💿 UK Jive I could have gone for Kinks tracks for a few of these, but I've limited myself to this one!

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 20 🎬 Ratatouille 👩‍🎤 The Sugarcubes 🎵 Eat the Menu (1989) 💿 Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week! I bet the Icelandic version of Ratatouille is awesome 👌. youtu.be/RE5nBOw6mhU?...

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 19 🎬 The Incredibles 👨‍🎤 Ian Dury & the Blockheads 🎵 Sueperman's Big Sister (1980) 💿 Laughter Apparently they decided to spell it 'Sue...' so DC Comics wouldn't.

Don't open this. I just looked and within seconds was adding to my tbr list. Thankfully it seemed more fantasy than science fiction, or I'd be in real trouble. #booksky

Today on #WIPSnips, a laser-powered action scene set deep in the heart of Romford. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity ##WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 18 🎬 Finding Nemo 👨‍🎤 Sultans of Ping F.C. 🎵 Turnip Fish (1992) To make up for yesterday's obvious choice, I've gone for a deep cut today.

Today on #WIPSnips, a short discussion on the value of tyres in an anarchist dystopia. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 17 🎬 Tarzan 👨‍🎤 Baltimora 🎵 Tarzan Boy (1985) 💿 Living in the Background I've managed to avoid obvious choices so far, but sooner or later something had to give. Turns out cheesy 80s Europop is too irresistable.

Today's #WIPSnips comes shortly after the first contact incident we snipped yesterday. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 16 🎬 Mulan 👨‍🎤 The Flaming Lips 🎵 Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt 1 (2002) 💿 Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Like Mulan, Yoshimi is criminally overlooked in my opinion.

Today in #WIPSnips, things that have never happened before: first contact with an alien, and how not to do it. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 15 🎬 Hercules 👨‍🎤 Warmduscher 🎵 Love Strong (2023) Not relevant, but Warmduscher's third album was called Tainted Lunch, which I think is pretty close to genius.

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 14 🎬 Toy Story 👩‍🎤 audiobooks 🎵 The Doll (2021) 💿 Astro Tough Literally the plot of Toy Story 6 in a (slightly dark) pop song.

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 13 🎬 The Lion King 👨‍🎤 King 🎵 Love and Pride (1984) 💿 Steps In Time Works on multiple levels: it's by King, and it's about a pride.

Today on #WIPSnips, Charlotte strikes a pose. That's all. That's the snip. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 12 🎬 Aladdin 👩‍🎤 Daisy Chainsaw 🎵 Hope Your Dreams Come True (1992) 💿 Eleventeen From the little known gender flipped version starring KatieJane Garside as a noise rock Aladdin, and Crispin Gray as the Djin who appears when she strums his guitar.

For today's #WIPSnips vibes, a quick one-liner from Bit#4 of The Ambivalence Chronicles, The Dragon Download. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 11 🎬 Beauty and the Beast 👨‍🎤 Daikaiju 🎵 The Daikaiju Who Loved Me (2005) 💿 Daikaiju Main theme from the surf rock monster movie reimagining, in which a bikini clad surf champion is held captive in the Pacific volcano lair of a massive dinosaur.

Spoilt for choice on today's #WIPSnips as one of the protagonists in The Rothwell Incident is a literal soft drinks salesman. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 10 🎬 The Little Mermaid 👨‍🎤 Morcheeba 🎵 The Sea (1998) 💿 Big Calm Because all Disney classics deserve a chilled downtempo electronic version.

WIPs eh? One of them is a sort of X-Files meets Midsomer Murders anthology, called The Village Green Preservation Society. I figure the VGPS is a secret society involved in the paranormal and aliens as they affect rural England. That one's a way down the list... #WIPLash #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 9 🎬 The Jungle Book 👨‍🎤 Subwoolfer 🎵 Give That Wolf a Banana (2022) Because all Disney classics deserve a Eurovision novelty song version.

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 8 🎬 The Sword in the Stone 👨‍🎤 Hey Champ 🎵 Steampunk Camelot (2010) 💿 Star From the steampunk remake, The Clockwork Chainsaw in the Stone.

At the moment Neurotypocalypse isn't so much a WIP as a collection of abandoned drafts. But as airports are a key feature in all of them, here's a snip. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 7 🎬 Sleeping Beauty 👨🏻‍🎤 The Velvet Underground 🎵 Venus in Furs (1967) 💿 The Velvet Underground & Nico I could sleep for a thousand years...

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 6 🎬 Peter Pan 👨‍🎤 Supergrass 🎵 Alright (1995) 💿 I Should Coco It's in everything else, it might as well be in Peter Pan. Heck, maybe it was.

Introduce yourself with: One book 📚 — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy One movie 🎥 — The Italian Job (1969) One album 💿 — The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society One TV show 📺 — Doctor Who

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 5 🎬 Alice in Wonderland 👩‍🎤 Caravan Palace 🎵 Wonderland (2015) 💿 <I°_°I> So many directions this prompt could have taken...

Alan Moore's BBC Maestro course on Storytelling is free on Spotify throughout February. (It was also free during January and December, make of that what you will.) Well worth a watch/listen at that price! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AuthorSky

Today on #WIPSnips, a potentially compromising position in The Rothwell Incident. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 4 🎬 Cinderella 👩🏾‍🎤 Salt n Pepa 🎵 Spinderella's Not a Fella (But a Girl DJ) (1988) 💿 A Salt With a Deadly Pepa In the hip-hop version of Cinderella, the wicked stepmom won't let Cindy become a girl DJ, favouring her less fly sisters and...

Today on #WIPSnips, an unusually confident Phil Grundy prepares to joust for his daughter's freedom. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 3 🎬 Dumbo 👨‍🎤 Toy Dolls 🎵 Nellie the Elephant (1982) 💿 Dig That Groove Baby Nellie was envisaged as a 'girl elephant from the wrong side of the tracks' and controversial love interest for the punk rock version of Dumbo. It never *ahem* took off.

#WrongDisneySong #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 2 🎬 Pinocchio 👩‍🎤 Belly 🎵 Gepetto (1992) 💿 Star The woodcarver's theme from the early 90s janglepop reimagining of Pinocchio.

So many 7s, it must be a sign! Probably a sign I should go to bed before this gets silly.

I think probably my favourite #EasterEgg is in this snip. Can you spoil an Easter egg? Or do you either get it or not? Have I spoiled it just by pointing it out? Well there's about 40 more in Bit#1, and an actual Easter egg for anyone who can find them!

So many 7s, it must be a sign! (Yes, I did wait a minute in the hope that nobody else liked my post, so thanks for cooperating!)
