Are there any songs that remind you of ChalkZone or one of the characters?
"Mind Over Matter" by E.G. Daily always makes me think of Rudy. Not only because she's Rudy's voice actress, but the lyrics fit him very well- it could really be his "image song". Plus, the music itself reminds me of the BGM in the ChalkZone scenes.
"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 reminds me of Snap...for obvious reasons  (and other blue characters- especially Bloo from Foster's Home)
The No Secrets cover of "Kids in America" always makes me think of ChalkZone NOT for any fitting lyrics, but because the music video of the song that used clips from various Nick shows with kid characters as the leads (ChalkZone included) was always aired in-between ChalkZone throughout 2002 so it just automatically makes me think of ChalkZone. |

Well I can't think of any song that reminds me of ChalkZone specifically, but there are a number of songs that remind me of my fanfics. I'll post a couple. I may continue it later.
Confrontation by Jekyll And Hyde: This fits well with the overall thoughts that Rudy and Dark Rudy would have on one another. Dark Rudy is what Rudy nearly became, a fact that is quite haunting for him.
New Disease by Spineshank: Perfect 'image' song for Light Rudy. Unlike Dark Rudy, Light Rudy was not corrupted per say; he went down this path after some unfortunate incidents. He created his own set of moralities and rules and took over ChalkZone. He believes he is doing the right thing and ignores the reality before him, purposely deluding himself.
Pet by A Perfect Circle: This describes Mr. Cosmo, one of my villains, very well. It matches his thoughts on Rudy, and how he wants to recruit the boy. The song is sung partially in a calm voice, but alternates to a more energetic, forceful voice, which is quite fitting of the twisted villain.
The Eyes Of Tomorrow by Broken Iris: This fits the overall arching theme of Rudy's corruption present in Sinful Behaviors and a major plot point of Catch A Brief Reflection. As if nearly being corrupted wasn't bad enough, Rudy later gets to experience just how much of a difference him becoming the enemy would make.
That's it for now. I may try to post more later.

Haha, this'll probably sound funny, but all the songs from the first Shrek movie remind me of ChalkZone. The reason is that Shrek came out on DVD around the time ChalkZone came out (or was at least still fairly new), and we had the soundtrack to Shrek and would always play it in the car. Like I always would, I would associate the songs I heard (no matter how unrelated; usually it was more about the sound/mood of the song than the lyrics) with the stories in my head. I imagined my own music videos and everything. And at the time I was in the middle of my first ChalkZone obsession, so I had music videos in my head of ChalkZone stories to Shrek songs.
So yeah, when I hear songs like "All Star" my first thought is "Aw, yeah! ChalkZone!" Being reminded of Shrek comes second to that. xD

Being reminded of Shrek comes second to that. xD You must be my twin or something- I got the Shrek soundtrack in March 2002 when ChalkZone came out, and it was the CD I listened to the most during my obsession! Everytime I was in the car on my way to and back from swim lessons or something, I would just imagine Rudy, Penny, and Snap performing each of the songs in their music videos. So now every time I hear a song from the soundtrack now, I never think of Shrek first...I think of ChalkZone! Haha! |

XD What's even funnier about that is that we would always go to the pool and we'd be listening to those songs then too. I heard them so much that I have all those music videos memorized. XD |

A Demon's Fate by Within Temptation: I see this as an overarching theme for Sinful Behaviors. It fits the mood quite well. The second verse of it, with "What have you done? Is this what you wanted? What have you become?" makes me think of when Rudy is in the crazed state, attacking everyone in sight.
Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria: The song that inspired much of Light Rudy's traits, including his obsessiveness and iron-fisted rule over ChalkZone.
Doctor Online by Zeromancer: While the song itself as little to do with Play The Game, it was a major inspiration for it, as it was while listening to this that I started to imagine the 'games' that Snap would be forced to play. The song helped a bit in characterizing Bardot as the sociopathic monster he is in that story.
Beautiful by 10 Years: Unlike my other examples, this isn't related to any of my stories, but instead Racingwolf's. I feel this song fits in quite well with her character, Newland. An arrogant, stubborn artist who believes he is the best artist in the world. This song plays on the haughtiness of an egotistical individual, thus making it quite a good song, in my opinion, for Newland.

That's so cool that songs make you think of my story!
As for others...Land of Light by Freedom Call was a huge inspiration for my story Cryptic Investigation and kind of kickstarted the ideas for the main plot of that, so yeah I really associate it with ChalkZone.
Light Up the Sky by Yellowcard is another one I relate to that story. Not for any specific scene, just the mood of the song I guess.

Thinking back to Welcome Home, it does also remind me of Nihilanth in Catch A Brief Reflection for some reason. It seems to fit his personality a bit, how he wants to destroy ChalkZone but he is doing it partly because he thinks it's the best thing to do and that all he wants to do is end pain and suffering. He wound up being a Well-Intentioned Extremist, which was unexpected as he started off as just an Omnicidal Maniac.
