Do you listen to music when writing your story? Do you have playlists to get into the "vibe" of your story? Do you associate certain songs with certain characters?
For Pokémon: Heroes and Villains, I have a playlist for writing/getting into the vibe that includes (but isn't limited to):
I prefer listening to music without singing (it helps me focus), but sometimes the lyrics fit too well for what specifically I'm writing.
I also have ship playlists that I sometimes listen to when writing shipfics
For Pokémon: Heroes and Villains, I have a playlist for writing/getting into the vibe that includes (but isn't limited to):
- The Beach Boys
- Kiyoshi Yoshida
- Uttara-Kuru
- Naoyuki Onda
- "On My Watch" (Kevin Yost and Peter Funk) (They played this in either Uniqlo or Club Cool at Epcot and I found it again while writing PHAV)
- "Veridis Quo", "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", "Something About Us" (Daft Punk)
- "California Dreamin'" (both the José Feliciano and The Mamas and The Papas covers)
- "Another Day in L.A." (Indigo Swing)
- "Hotel California" (Eagles)

- A lot of 80s movie soundtracks that use "spacey/atmospheric" synths (especially stuff by David Newman)

- "Summer Night City" (ABBA)
- The soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever
