There are too many genres to canvas. Electronic alone would take over the entire blog. I hadn’t heard of this folk variant but apparently it’s played at sci fi and fantasy conventions and combines traditional folk instruments with an electronic keyboard. Sometimes it overlays themed lyrics using existing tunes but not always.

I don’t propose to write with any melody in mind as that is counter to how I work but I can certainly work with a large bank of comic book material stored away.

Let’s bypass The Flash and Wolverine and anyone else who has seeped into the mainstream as that no longer specifies the song as filk.

Heck with it, filk isn’t always science fiction or fantasy themed, let’s just roll

Terse

Creators were grateful  
when their creatures came good
Finely limned or lit up on screen
behaving the way they should

Artists have parted
the red, see, the green brown and blue
Colourists clarify 

Producers do so directors reflect
a stand-in's understanding
a pop culture prop assault

Vanity projects itself
with inspiration straight off the shelf
veterans can do nothing but watch
