Filk Song Parodies

An established part of filking is parodying famous filk songs, often turning a serious song into burlesque or other humor. When a filk song becomes dominant or is called for in every bardic circle, parodying it is a way to still enjoy the tune while deflating those who constantly call for it to be sung. 
 
For a list, see List of Filk Parodies.
== Examples==
==="Banned from Argo"===
Like any good fanwork, once it escaped into the wild, fans made it their own. Banned from Argo, a song even its creator was tired of, is one example.
"Banned from Hiltons" is a filk by Roberta Rogow. It was printed in the program book for Augustrek. 
 
Fans, often with Fish's knowledge and blessing, created their own versions and adaptations. Many of these parodies were collected in the filk book Bastard Children of Argo.
Some 1988 examples of inspired works are "Peggy Sue is Occupied" ("lyrics for the eighties in the tradition of capitalist realism") and "Bound for Argo," both of these filks by Susan Kray are in the Professionals zine, Pig Tails & Other Swill. 
Banned From Google is a 2011 tablesaw. Banned From Google, 25 July 2011. (Accessed 25 July 2011), a filk parody based on Banned From Argo.

===Like "Like Comyn to the Slaughter"===
A parody called "Like Comyn to the Slaughter," by Harold Feld, was included in Xenofilkia #16. Cumulative Xenofilkia Index by Title through Xeno #217 Accessed September 30, 2008 It put the events of Horse Tamer's Daughter to the tune of Frank Hayes' "Like a Lamb to the Slaughter," a condensed talking-blues version of Mattie Groves, a tradition Scottish ballad. "Like Comyn..." mocks the length of the original by ending with the lines:

Filksing

A filksing is an event where fans gather to sing filk music. They are frequently held at science fiction conventions, usually in the evenings after most of the regular programming has ended. 
There are various filksing organizational rules, which are followed with varying degrees of formality, including:
*Bardic circle- Filkers sit in a circle and take turns to perform, choose someone else to perform, or pass on their turn. This is summarized as "Pick, pass, or play."
*Chaos circle-No set order or turns.
*Domino Chaos circle- No set turns or order, but songs must have some connection to the previous song, such as having a similar topic or using the same tune.

Fill

Fill is the term often used for the fanfiction (or other type of fanwork, such as fanart or sometimes a vid) created in response to a prompt. 
The term is commonly used on kink memes and other types of fanwork-creation memes, such as comment fic fests, and the fanfiction created for Reverse Bangs may sometimes be referred to as filling the artist's prompt. 'Fill' is a less common usage for other types of prompt-based challenges; 'response' is more commonly used in these contexts.
==Example Fills==
*Merlin - Pairing: Pendragon/Merlin, written for the kinkme_merlin kink meme
*Sherlock - The Theory of Narrative Causality (link), written in response to a prompt at the SherlockBBC_fic community
*Stargate Atlantis - Tannhauser Gate (story by trinityofone, art by newkidfan), created in response to the Artword prompt "Wooden Horse"
For other examples of fic fills, see any fannish kink meme.

Filler Arc

In anime/manga fandoms, a Filler Arc is an extra plot inserted into an anime by new writers while the studio waits for the manga on which the anime is based to gain enough lead material for another season. Some examples of series that contain filler arcs are Naruto and Bleach. Filler arcs usually have little to no contribution to the main storyline. Like the Bount arc in bleach which is not canon to the main series. However, filler arcs are sometimes quite entertaining to fans.
==Background==
As recently as the 1980s, it was not uncommon for a series to be produced in one media only. Lately, however, it has become more common practice to make anime based on popular manga while the manga is running. Because action generally takes longer to communicate on the page than on the screen, and because the anime may start production after as few as two or three dozen issues of the manga have been released, such anime often threaten to overrun the manga on which they are based.
When this happens, the writers for the studio which is producing the anime version create a series of episodes, sometimes a whole season, with action that only takes place in the anime. The manga author may sometimes consult on these sections, but it seems more common for them not to.
==Fan Reception==
Fans who focus primarily on the manga often disparage and dislike filler arcs for a variety of reasons. By its nature, filler must not advance the main plot or character development, or else must reverse what has been done in order to take up the main storyline as presented by the manga once again. Some fans consider this shallow or annoying. For some fans of the manga, the fact that the manga author was not involved renders the filler arc automatically unacceptable.
Fans who have entered the fandom primarily through the anime version may share these feelings, but are generally somewhat more forgiving. Anime-oriented fans seem more willing to consider filler episodes or seasons as a romp, after which the main action can resume with no loss.
Similar reactions can be seen in some cases where the anime version does not wait on the manga version but simply ends at some opportune point. Such anime may pick up the manga storyline later, in the form of OVAs. Some examples of series that have done this are Hunter X Hunter, Fushigi Yuugi and Prince of Tennis. Both FY and PoT created endings that differed significantly from the manga and had to Retcon characters back into the right places to continue. This drew more long-term ire from fans than HxH, which simply stopped broadcast production in the middle of an arc and continued with OVA production on an irregular schedule whenever enough manga material accumulated.
== Examples of Filler Arcs ==
* The Makai/Doom Tree arc from Sailor Moon's R series, created to fill time until the manga of R was ready to be published.
* The Orange Islands saga in the Pokémon anime, created to fill time before Gold and Silver were officially released.
* The Bount arc in Bleach.
* The first OVA of Fushigi Yuugi.

Filthy Pierre's Microfilk

Microfilk is a collection of over 550 filksongs, printed on legal-sized paper in small text, and distributed with a magnifying glass. It was assembled by Erwin "Filthy Pierre" Strauss, and was very popular as the "everything filk" collection in some fannish communities. (Not that anyone thought it was literally everything, but it was the "here, you need this; there's enough to get you started and keep you going for a good long time" intro-to-filk thing. Many/most were folded into the later NESFA Hymnal. 
It is 63 pages long, 14 of which are indexes, which are sorted by tune, title, subject, and author. It includes chords for some songs, with detailed instructions on how to read them. (How to encode music in plaintext formats has been an ongoing struggle for online filk communities.)
A PDF and partial XML of the index were released online in late 2009.Filthy Pierre's Microfilk - Now online, posted 12-25-2009, ref'd Mar 6 2011.

Final Act of Love

Final Act of Love is a 1981 Star Wars story by Kay Crist. 
It was originally published in Carbonite Maneuver in 1981, and reprinted with permission in Bright Center of the Universe #5 in 1995.
"Bright Center of the Universe" #5 also contained a story by Wanda Lybarger called Second Chance. That story was an alternative ending to "Final Act of Love." 
This story was also discussed in the 1982 article Han and Leia in Fanfiction.
==A Summary==
From Carbonite Maneuver: "A dark tale involving the capture of Leia, Han and Chewie. This time Darth will have his information from Leia -- by torturing Hand to death before her eyes. There is only one escape, a chillingly logical conclusion." 
==Regarding the Reprint of "Final Act of Love" and the Original Publication of "Second Chance"==
Ming Wathne, editor of Bright Center of the Universe, wrote about these two stories in her zine: 
==Regarding the Illos for Both Stories: 1995==

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is the theatrical Final Fantasy movie. It is a stand-alone sci-fi flick, as many fans of Final Fantasy will lament, but it carries many of the same themes and several callbacks to the hit RPG franchise.
==Synopsis==
In the year 2065, the world has been invaded by hostile aliens known as Phantoms. Humanity has withdrawn into sheltered domed cities to survive. One prominent scientist, Aki Ross, believes she holds the key to defeating the aliens, but is at odds with General Douglas Hein, who sees her as an alien spy, and confronted by an old flame, Grey Edwards, on whom she walked out to protect. Also thrown into the mix are Grey's squadron, the Deep Eyes (Ryan, Jane, and Neil), Aki's mentor Sid, Hein's sideman Major Elliot(t), and the Phantoms themselves.

Final Fantasy Exchange

Final Fantasy Exchange (FFEX) is a gift exchange for the Final Fantasy metafandom. It allows both fanfiction and fanart, and all Final Fantasy canons are eligible. Two rounds of the exchange have now run: one from February through April 2007, and a second from June through September 2009. FFEX was the joint creation of Justira, Renay, and Seventhe, and the three of them served as moderators in both rounds.
==How It Works==
The exchanges starts when sign-ups open. The timing has varied in the past; future rounds are planned to run in the spring. Participants are allowed to submit up to three prompts, including fandom, canon, characters/pairings, and themes they would like to see in a story or artwork, along with any squicks or triggers they would prefer to avoid. At the same time, participants list the fandoms, canons, etc. that they are and are not willing to create fanworks for. Once the exchange closes, the mods match requests and preferences. In the past, this was done manuallyFFEX Round 2: Behind the Scenes, which is a big task given the number of canons involved (seventeen in the 2009 round, not counting crossovers).FFEX Round 2: Round Up Master list of all fanworks posted in FFEX Round 2, by canon. The exchange has fairly strict quality guidelines -- stories need to be at least 1000 words long, and artwork is to be polished.FFEX FAQ: Creating Your Gift. The use of a beta is recommended, and FFEX provides sponsored betas for both fiction and art.
After a period of about six weeks for writing, the community opens for posting. Participants post under their own name; gifts are not anonymous. Posting is typically open for one week. After that time, the exchange moves into its next phase: Moogle Fluff. The prompts of any participant without a gift are posted anonymously, and anyone, including non-participants is welcome to post stories or art based on these prompts. Moogle Fluff gifts do not need to meet the standard quality guidelines -- they are meant to tide over someone who is waiting for an official gift. Meanwhile, late posting continues for another week or so, and the mods also assign backup gifters to anyone who defaulted.
Once the late and backup gifts are all posted, the round closes. At that point, all unwritten prompts are made public anonymously, and the Chocobo Down phase begins. Anyone is welcome to post fanworks for any of the prompts, but the moderators also assign penalties to participants who missed the posting deadline and/or defaulted. Participants who defaulted and wish to participate in future rounds must create the assigned number of fanworks, and these must meet FFEX quality guidelines.

Final Fantasy IX

Final Fantasy IX is part of the Final Fantasy franchise by Squaresoft (now Square Enix). It is a RPG and was released on the Play Station console (PSX). As with most Final Fantasy titles, the game was set in a newly created universe and with fresh characters. Unlike the two games before, FFIX featured a medieval setting and distinctly different character design.
Set in Gaia, the player follows the journey of Zidane, a human with a monkey tail and part of a group of bandits. The group kidnaps Princess Garnet, only to find out that she had been planning to flee from home anyway to see her uncle, a regent from another city. During their escape the group's airship is damaged and crashes, at which point the main story begins.
==Characters==
* Garnet Til Alexandros XVII
* Baku
* Beatrix
* Blank
* Eiko Carol
* Cid Fabool IX
* Cinna
* Amarant Coral
* Freya Crescent
* Kuja
* Marcus
* Mikoto
* Vivi Ornitier
* Quina Quen
* Steiner
* Zidane Tribal
==Fandom==
Despite receiving critical acclaim, Final Fantasy IX did not achieve the same level of commercial success as its predecessors on the PlayStation 1. This could be attributed to the impending release of the PlayStation 2 in Japan during that time. Some individuals expressed their dissatisfaction with the game, citing reasons such as the majority of the main characters being either monsters or children, and the absence of charismatic characters like Cloud, Sephiroth, or Squall from previous titles. Eiko faced significant backlash from the fandom, being perceived as an annoying little girl. Although physically resembling Sephiroth, Kuja did not garner the same level of popularity being often mocked for his androgynous appearance. However, over time, people began to appreciate the game for its story and thematic elements. Vivi, in particular, gained a strong following among fans due to his compelling backstory.
===Pairings===
Ships aren't as varied in Final Fantasy IX as other games in the series, due to the physicality of some characters (Freya, Vivi and Quina not being human, Eiko being extremely underage, etc.), however a few popular pairings exist:
*Zidane/Garnet
*Steiner/Beatrix
*Freya/Amarant
*Zidane/Kuja
==Example Fanworks==
*You Are Not Alone -- twitter, fanzine created in 2024 -- example illustration from the zine by actionkazimer
