One thing I enjoy doing with my sister is a music shuffle challenge for one of our favorite fandoms. Basically, we make a list of characters and pairings, set our music libraries to shuffle, and assign each song in order to each item on the list. Sometimes the song fits; usually it doesn’t. The latter is way more fun.
I’ve been wanting to do a music shuffle challenge for Choices, but there are way too many books and characters to do all at once. So instead, I’ll be doing a series of a shuffle challenges, one post per book.
Anyone is welcome to join in. I’ll be using the tag #choices shuffle challenge. Here are the basic rules:
Choose a book/series. Make a list of any characters or pairings or whatever else you want. Include side characters or non-MC pairings. Exclude characters you can’t stand. Anything goes.
Go to where most of your music is kept (iTunes, Spotify, your phone, etc.) Put the full selection on shuffle and start playing songs. You can skip things like audio book chapters or duplicate songs.
As the songs play, assign them to the next item on your list. Do not try to match specific songs to specific characters - the randomness is the whole point.
Share your list/songs with us, if you want to. Or just have fun by yourself. Leave commentary or include links to the songs, or don’t. Whatever you want.
As an example, I’ll do a shuffle challenge for Passport to Romance, under the cut.
Thoughts: “Back to Hogwarts” would work better for the crew from The Elementalists, but whatever. I actually love both of the songs related to Marisa, though “Toy” works better for her and the douche boyfriend than for her and MC. Also, I’m in love with “Can’t Take It In” for Ahmed/MC. That soft boy deserved better.
