Fun with fiction

This weekend I get to make up some song lyrics. Fun. Not. Have no idea where to start either :|

"Riverman" seems to involve someone drowning or falling into a river.

"That's not 'Riverman', is it?" Matt asked.
Ash laughed. "A bit too prophetic?"
"I thought it might have been a suggestion on your part."
"That'd be more obvious."

"My Lady is a Laddy" is apparently for singing when you are drunk.

Ash did a repeat of the his chorus.
"Maybe we can offer you up as bait," Matt told him. "It's a ridiculous song anyway."

Mythical Creatures

I'm making a list of mythical/supernatural creatures that have or can take human form, from Europe particularly British Isles.

This isn't as easy as I thought. There's the obvious ones of werewolves & vampires. Various little folk & big folk who wouldn't pass as human due to their size. Some individuals.

Angels & their ilk
Demons
Various water spirits (each uisge, selkies, nixes, undine etc - there are a lot of these)
Dryads
Elves
Banshee
Aos si/daoine sidhe
Leansidhe
Golem

Now my brain is full up, but I'm sure there's more.

Naming names

I hate naming planets most of all.



Streets are fairly easy. Towns and cities are manageable, and there is also Gamebot to fall back on. Countries are getting harder, but again Gamebot is useful. Continents are tricky, but I can avoid usually avoid them. But planets? *shudder*

Sometimes, stopping and thinking it through helps. Other times it becomes harder.

So if I decide that for the purposes of this version of reality, the name will be given the first group to be associated with the planet. That is, the first settlers, or whoever sends them, or the company that buys up mining rights. So the task is reduced from "any combination of syllables" to limited groups e.g.

company names
mining products
surnames
existing cities or countries (New ------)

And that can actually be fun to play with.
