Song-fic

Song-fic are stories within which a song is either the basis of the story (i.e. the song dictates the plot), the story is a song with lyrics altered to match the fandom, the story features a song at beginning or end that is chosen to match the mood/theme of the story, or where the lyrics of a song are spread throughout the story at intervals.

==Notes==
*Song-fic is not a well looked upon genre due to the perception that using lyrics to substitute for the writer's own words is the mark of a poor writer.
*Many archives ban Song-fics due to concerns over copyright. For example, Fanfiction.net banned such works in 2005. at - Retrieved 16-Oct-2024
*Bans such as noted above, along with better streaming internet and video editing tools which allowed for the creation of actual music videos, lead to a decline in the popularity of Song-fics.
