Don't You Mean "Folk"?

Nope.  I meant what I wrote.

Filk.

No one's really sure where the word came from, but it appears to have origins with the word "folk".

Filksongs are songs that generally come from what could loosely be called "fandom".  Fandom generally includes science fiction and fantasy buffs, members of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Tolkien fans, Pagans and more.  Thus, a "Filksing" is a gathering of people who desire to sing Filk together.  There are Filking groups across the country, if you're lucky enough to happen across one.  (For the record, the Earthdaughter website would be more than happy to host a listing of Filking groups across the world.  Please contact us with your listing information.)

These pages are here to keep those hard to find songs alive on the Internet, such as Banned From Argo, The Murderous Little Toy, You Bash The Balrog, and others.  If you know of a song that should be archived here, please contact us with that information and in most cases, we'll be happy to add it to our pages.  Please be sure to include all author contact information, if possible, so we don't step on any toes by hosting the Filk here.

Thanks!
