"Congratulations to the four awesome writers who passed Round 1. Nahirapan na ba agad kayo? Sorry, not sorry. Just kidding.
All of you did great in The Battles kahit na alam kong medyo pressured kayo sa theme at songs, so to make up for it, here's something na medyo madali. I hope hindi kayo mag-back out lahat dahil sa mga songs na 'to. Good luck sa inyo, and keep your crazy on. \m/
Oh, and always remember that I'M - A - FREAKING - MAN.
That would be all."
THEME: Life In Metropolis
- Superheroes are misunderstood creatures. And in this particular city, there's this one hero in red and blue na makikita mo lagi sa langit, or nakikipaglaban sa "bad guys." Pero meron kayang nag-iisip kung anong nararamdaman niya inside, when people are not looking? Or pag off-duty siya, sino siya at anong ginagawa niya? In the busy town of Metropolis, Superman saves the city - or even the world - while trying to live a dual life. Let's see kung anong klaseng buhay meron siya, pati na rin ang mga tao sa paligid niya. Does the city affect the hero as much as he does it?
SONG #1: Superman - Taylor Swift
PICKED BY: SelfieDemiGod
- When you're in love with a superhero, you need to become a super boy-/girlfriend, too. Give us a story about what one would experience while in a relationship with a superhero, a football star, a high official, or someone na hindi lang ikaw ang nangangailangan. How much would you sacrifice for the one you love?
SONG #2: Superman (It's Not Easy) - Five for Fighting
PICKED BY: harlequincross
- The title says it all. It really isn't easy being some kind of Superman. Show how hard it is when people expect too much from you. Gaano ba kahirap maging perfect? Let the emotions flow. Let me feel the pain.
SONG #3: Waiting For Superman - Daughtry
PICKED BY: _thequieter
- Can one wait forever for her Superman? Paano pag di siya dumating? Make a story about waiting for something na wala kang assurance na pupunta/babalik pa. Make it personal and deep. Something heartfelt. Will the wait be worth it, or will it be in vain?
SONG #4: So Long, Superman - Firewater
PICKED BY: isaganireyes
- There will surely be a time when we will start facing our own villains. Superman won't be there, so we'll have to figure out how to defeat them. Write a song about leaving your "Metropolis" and forgetting the hero you once knew so you can face the bigger threats of the world on you own, whatever you may find in it.
SONG #5: Resignation Superman
SONG #6: Jimmy Olsen's Blues
NOTE: Please read the lyrics if you can't or don't want to listen to the song. Try to analyze the lyrics so you can write the story better, and you won't have a hard time thinking of a plot. Rape my inbox if you have to and ask as many questions as you want. :)
Your stories do not necessarily need to be about Superman, tulad sa Round 1 na hindi talaga fairy tale ang gagawin niyo. But Superman should be referenced in your story, like a metaphor or such. Be creative. Good luck #TeamFall!
