''Destructive Harmonics'' is a currently mostly unpublished writing project by Tropers/{{Floria}}. It takes place in DarthWiki/TheHarmonicsverse, a sort of MundaneFantastic-meets-PlanetEris version of early twenty-first century Earth, and can be described as "''{{Metalocalypse}}'' [[XMeetsY meets]] one of those [[{{Moe}} cutesy]] SliceOfLife anime series about [[ImprobablyFemaleCast a bunch of quirky high school girls]]," [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlei5gydjrz]][[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LuckyStar]][[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AzumangaDaioh]] although in this case the "girls" are five rock stars in their twenties and thirties. The project is mostly concerned with Maenad, a popular all-female heavy metal band that's difficult to precisely classify by subgenre, and whose members are, to a woman, WeirdnessMagnet {{Bunny Ears Lawyer}}s, the band members' daily lives, their odder adventures, and the many ways they drive their [[OnlySaneEmployee long-suffering]] [[TeamMom manager]] to distraction.
