Line 245:
* "Allkorr" (Svetlana Nikiforova). Many history and/or war themed songs, among the others. Throws in [[Rashomon Style]] "sequels"/"answers", if available. Also wrote fanfics to [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s books and ''[[Star Wars]]'' among the other things.
** Most known songs she perform are ''Raid'' that has at least 6 follow-ups.
** The Star Wars cycle most known for ''[[Schizo-Tech|Krupp]]'s [[Gatling Good|response]] to [[Knights of the Old Republic|Revan and Malak]]'' - another author's answer in the discussion of her song "I am Revan!". Then Storyteller (who occasionally had private concerts together with her) gone one step further with a song mocking "stupid descendants" who prefer to swing sticks at each other "like monkeys" from PoV of a savage advanced enough to use a bow from cover.
** "Technology" cycle ("...we won't leave the caves at all") starts with "military technologies" as a bit of [[Scylla and Charybdis]] thing. Which another author modified for "agrarian technologies" ("If the mammoths were fatter..."), that in turn led to
* Yevgeny Lukin. Though he has songs like e.g. a parody of [[White Sun of the Desert|Easterns]], most are around history/politics/philosophy (don't those end up tangled anyway?) both to famous tunes in parody/reference and his own. Well known in fan circles, but much more known as a SF&F author (over two dozens of various awards), and much less as a translator (at least two of [[Barbara Hambly]]'s books published on Russian).
* In the fandom there are, of course, minstrels with pseudonyms from [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s books and occasionally [[The Witcher]] Saga, and even a few groups with such names as "Voluntary Orchestra of [[The Moomins|the Hemulen]]", "[[The Dark Elf Trilogy|Bregan D'aerthe]]" or "[[Dragonlance|Kendermore]]".
