The FanFiction Writers' National Anthem

Most, if not all countries have a national anthem. I know that FanFic Writers don't make up an entire country, but surely we still need an anthem.

I was introduced to the song "Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking" by Snow Patrol. A livejournal user called obfreak used the song for a Stargate Atlantis music video (John-centric). Here's a link to the LJ post where she's put the video: http://obfreak.livejournal.com/18013.html.

If FanFic Writers were to choose an anthem, I would pick this song. First, here are the lyrics:

I've got this feeling that there's something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you...)
Don't you breathe
Don't you breathe
(I could do most anything to you...)

Something happened, that I never understood
(I could do most anything to you...)
You can't leave
You can't leave
(I could do most anything to you...)

Every second, dripping off my fingertips
(I could do most anything to you...)
Wage your war
Wage your war
(I could do most anything to you...)

Another soldier, says he's not afraid to die
(I could do most anything to you...)
Well I am scared
I'm so scared
(I could do most anything to you...)

In slow motion, the blast is beautiful
(I could do most anything to you...)
Doors slam shut
Doors slam shut
(I could do most anything to you...)

A clock is ticking, but it's hidden far away
(I could do most anything to you...)
Safe and sound
Safe and sound

(I could do most anything to you...)
(I could do most anything to you...)
(I could do most anything to you...)
(I could do most anything to you...)
(I could do most anything to you...)
(I could do most anything to you...)

^*^*^*^*^

I think that the repeat line in the song ("I could do most anything to you") is pretty self-explanitory, and relates easily to fanfic writers. Isn't that what fanfic writers do? Steal characters and do whatever we want to them? That's what I do.

This song is going on a very short playlist for when I'm writing (or editing) the Stargate Atlantis fic I've started.
