Classic Movie Ficathon?

[trinityofone]

forcryinoutloud and I are thinking of running an SGA Classic Movie Ficathon, in which participants would get to pick a film from the '30s-'60s and write an SGA story based on the movie itself, or extrapolated from the summary and taken in the crazy direction of your choice. (The ones I'm really hoping get written? The Shop Around the Corner, His Girl Friday, North by Northwest, The Searchers...well, and loads more, really.) So, what we want to know is: would you all be interested in something like that?

[Poll #704713]

Any other thoughts? Questions? Suggestions? I've never run a ficathon before, so I'd really appreciate any advice/words of caution/hysterical pointing-and-laughing...

Yay! There's nothing better than screwball noir. *g*

You know, the more I think about it, the more I see Ronon as Gregory Peck.

Problem is, McKay isn't exactly Audrey Hepburn. But then I wouldn't feel so bad about the unhappy ending, since McKay would end up marrying Prince Sheppard anyway.

<adds tick mark to the list> Not since April 4th, no. Feel free to continue showering the love!

Ronon is so Gregory Peck.

Can't you just see Ronon leading McKay to the Mouth of Truth and then pretending to have his hand bitten off?

Or better yet? THREESOME.

Bringing Up Baby is an obvious one too. I just can't work out if Rodney is the Cary Grant character (stodgy academic) or the Katherine Hepburn one (steamroller).

I got an image of Cadman as Susan that won't get out of my brain. LOL Talk about steamroller!

OMG, if someone writes a McKay/Cadman version of Bringing Up Baby, I will DIE of JOY.
