Recently on the Fushigi Yuugi Fanfiction ML, conversation turned to ways to encourage a greater quantity of Fushigi Yuugi fanfiction. To this end, it was decided to create a monthly challenge for fanfic writers. For more information on current challenges, please visit the Challenge Page.
I issued the first challenge to the ML, namely, the CD Songfic Challenge. Challengers were to pick any musical CD (other than a FY CD) and write Fushigi Yuugi songfics for every track, within a one-month timeframe. I offered to host all completed CDfics here in this archive, and successful challengers receive a customized Honor Badge for their efforts! Emphasis is on quality as much as quantity-- there's nothing worse than a poorly written songfic, much less a whole CD's worth!
To me, the music of Fushigi Yuugi is an integral part of the experience. It's easy to find a single song to write into a songfic for FY. But a whole CD? I'm happy to say that it is indeed possible, as the authors below can attest. Moreover, I'm very pleased that the songfics archived here are some of the best you will ever come across.
Ideally, the songfics would be read in order while listening to the CD. Enjoy!
Weiß Kreuz Dramatic Image Album II: The Eternal Angel ~ Gerald Tarrant ~ Challenge Badge
 |
The CD is from the anime series Weiß Kreuz, created by Koyasu Takehito (Hotohori's seiyuu). The Eternal Angel is actually a drama CD with spoken tracks interspersed, so Gerald added two other Weiss Kreuz songs, Piece of Heaven and Beautiful Alone, to bring it up to seven tracks.
Piece of Heaven Unrelated to the challenge is Honeyrider, another Weiß Kreuz based songfic. |
The Corrs: Breathless ~ Night Skies ~ Challenge Badge
 |
Nights originally choose The Corr's CD Single, Breathless, and then supplemented other songs from the group to meet the challenge. If the songfic title varies from the song title, the song title is noted in parantheses.

Andrew Lloyd Webber: Premiere Collection Encore ~ Ashura ~

Ashura choose a compilation cd with tracks from Andrew Lloyd Weber's most famous works, such as Cats, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Phantom of the Opera.

Megumii choose a Sailor Moon compilation album, with tracks from Sailor Moon, R, S, SuperS, and Another Story. Pretty Cast refers to the singers, Leona and Elena, known for singing in the SuperS Movie. These are not the original versions of the songs, but rather remix versions with lots of jazz overtones.
Laurelgand choose an early import album by Celine Dion. The CD has eight tracks, all in French. Before writing the songfics, Laurel had to translate the lyrics to English!
