Holy Moley! Somebody actually recorded a performance of SLASH FRIDAY NIGHT!? This is easily the most flattering thing anyone has ever done involving my writing. Thank you so much for making this happen, Blaineisatimelord!

Sidenote: Hearing someone else sing this out loud makes me realize something about the lyrics that I probably should have notated. In the Merlin marathon section, I always pronounced “fiction,” in my head, so that the tion part sounded like the name “Sean.” Doing so helped it rhyme better with ‘thon and ‘thong.

This is no criticism against the recorded song. It’s perfectly lovely as it is (I’ve listened to it around seven times now). This nuance in pronunciation is something that I did in my head and failed to spell out when I posted the parody in the first place. I just wanted to throw it out there, for the sake of clarification, in case people were wondering how to make “fiction” fit in better while singing along.

Reiteration: I AM BLISS-ED OUT RIGHT NOW! This is incredible!

You have my heart, Megan!

Slash Friday Night (Original song by Katy Perry, Parody lyrics by questionableliterarymerit)

Kirk and Spock are in my bed.

Slashy thoughts are in my head.

Cosplay friends are sleeping in.

But my head’s in such a spin!

Angry neighbors pound my door.

Wincest art is on the floor.

Roll my sleeve up, there’s a clue…

My new Jewnicorn tattoo?

Posted photoshops without watermarks…

Oy Vey! Oh well.

My McFassy gifs will still bring the hits today. 

Damn!

Slash Friday Night!

Sang our favorite songs from Glee.

Shipping wars lasted ‘till three:

Brittana or Faberry?

Slash Friday Night!

Watched a Merlin marathon,

Then we wrote some fan fiction

about Arthur in a thong.

Slash Friday Night!

Speculated on subtext:

Magneto / Professor X

Was that just a game of “chess?”

Slash Friday Night!

Who would “pull rank” in the dark-

Steve Rogers or Tony Sta-ah-Ah-ark?

This friday night

Do it ALL again…

This friday night

Do it ALL again…

The original song (Last Friday Night) belongs to Katy Perry and whoever wrote it. The Parody lyrics belong to questionableliterarymerit here on tumblr. The Karaoke version of Last Friday Night was ripped from Youtube here. I’m getting sick, so sorry for breaking your ears… the song totally isn’t in my range. I am also not a trained professional, and I sing in the key of Megan. Although, if you would like to download it (God knows why) you can download it here.

Holy CRAP, you guys! My “SLASH FRIDAY NIGHT” parody has over 2,000 NOTES!

I mean, when I originally posted that parody a few months ago it only had around 23 notes! In my dizziest daydream, I would have never thought that it would resonate this much with so many people. The highest number of notes that I’ve ever had on an original content post has been about 120. 

This is INSANE. 

I feel ecstatic. I mean, I sometimes spend hours writing original material for this blog (parodies, reviews, essays, observations, etc) and I’m thrilled when JUST ONE person out there comments or feels affected by what I’ve written. The idea that 2,000+ people feel a connection to something I’ve written and think it’s entertaining? Well, that’s a little overwhelming…

But only in the best possible way :)

I mean, I know it’s just a Tumblr post, but someday, I hope to be a writer. A writer who composes material that means something to someone outside myself. I want to make people cry, and think, and, most importantly, LAUGH. Even though this post is just a little ol’ song parody, I still perceive the success of this endeavor to be another little push…

Another little nod of encouragement….

Another little sign that maybe, someday, I’ll reach my goal.

I’m working on a second verse. If anyone has any ships they would like to see included or if they have advice / suggestions, I’m all ears. I don’t speak much Dr. Who or Sherlock, but I know those are two large fanbases seeking representation.

Also, if anyone sings SLASH FRIDAY NIGHT and posts audio or video, could you please let me know? A couple people mentioned that they had a desire to do so and I would LOVE to see it performed :)
