The purpose of this FAQ is to provide answers to questions commonly asked within the filking community. I've been a member of the filking community for about 25 years now as both a listener and a performer, and hope that the info provided here will be of use to new filkers as well as those curious about this whole "filk" thing. Many thanks to those who have contributed. Please note that my opinions may not reflect those of other filkers. This FAQ should *not* be regarded as being definitive, but only as a rough guide; I will be updating info over time. Wherever possible, I have also included links to other sources of related information. Unfortunately I've had to turn off commenting because of spammers but plan to reinstate commenting once I've switched over to Wordpress on the new server.

A song that is "ose" is morose, very sad. Men dying in space, puppies being run over, lovers dying in each other's arms, world annihilations, that sort of thing. It's generally not a good idea to have too many "ose" songs in a row, or people will start falling asleep (if it's very late at night) or slitting their wrists. Whenever I hear the word "ose", I tend to think of two songs: Clif Flynt's Ian The Grim (quintessential "ose" song) and Paul Kwinn's Stop Singing Ose Or I'll Kill You (very funny song about ose songs). Comments? Suggestions? Please post below.
