Category:Original Story

These are filk songs which tell stories presumed to be original to the song.

They do not re-tell a story found in a published source, and are not clearly set in the fictional universe of a published source.

They often draw on common themes from science fiction and fantasy or mythic traditions.

Contributors should look over these songs to check for songs that have been misclassified because previous contributors did not recognize references to outside sources in the song.

On the other hand, no few songs really are original stories, and contributors should not attempt false/strained classification just for the sake of classification.

If a song may be original, but a contributor doesn't feel qualified to make that preliminary judgment, the song may instead be classified under Category:Unknown Story Source.
