Hey guys!
For my feature story, we have to post some possible leads. My feature story is about chiptunes. Chiptunes are songs that are made that are primarily composed through video game console soundboards.
Compare and Contrast:
Just over 50 years ago, a computer was first used in the production of music. Since then, computers have become better and better at creating sounds that cannot be replicated by traditional instruments. Now, artists are busting out their Gameboys and creating rave songs with the same chips that have created the famous Mario and Zelda themes.
Descriptive:
An amazing party has begun. Bodies are pressing up against each other on the dance floor as hordes of people jump to the techno beats of the DJ. That DJ doesn't have any fancy equipment though. Alex Luna stands there with nothing but two Gameboys, and the crowd loves it.
Twist:
Music creation has always been expensive. Instruments cost upwards of several hundred dollars and it takes time and dedication to master one. However, people like Alex Luna are making catchy techno music - for as little as $25 - with nothing but a single Gameboy.

I like the second one. The creation of a scene makes the beginning more interesting and the pat where you say he is only holding two Gameboys is surprising enough to keep a reader's attention.

I like the second one, and then I like the third one. The first one kinda lost me, it was a bit confuzzling d:

I think that #2 is the best lead. It's a party, WITH GAMEBOYS! So I think that's pretty cool.
#3 is in second place.
#1 could be a bit more interesting.
-Fly on the Wall
The second lead seems the catchiest out of all of them. The third one doesn't sound as interesting, and even though I like the first one, the second one seems to work the best.
-Juumbie
Dude, the second one, definitely. There's so much /energy/ in it. Puts you in the scene, ya'know?
...A couple more "man"s and a head bob and I could sound like a stoner.
Anyway.
All of these are good, but the second is the best.
And third is the one in the polka dot dress.
Brain. Fried.
Like an egg.

I found my mind wandering while reading the first one. Maybe it isn't the best idea to use numbers so early in the story, unless they are shocking enough to draw your readers in.

The second one is the best. It creates a really nice image.
- EJE
The second one sets the scene and ends with a sort of twist.
-Yahir
I agree with everyone else the 2nd is the best
I think the second one is the best, it leaves the reader wondering how they can make music with gameboys, which draws the reader in.

Yup, compare and contrast.
