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...

Dibs on The African Queen!

(I - I promise I'm still working on the Red Shoes AU. I'm just so in love with the idea of a scruffy Sheppard as Bogart and McKay as Katherine Hepburn. Who wouldn't be?)

It's totally on the list. *wonders if I can sooper-sekritly reserve it for you*

Also, I purposely left The Red Shoes off the list, 'cause I knew you had it covered. *g*

Oh, I am the happy smiling mistress of volunteering too much! I love it! I hate me! I love it!

Oh, God. Don't mind me, I'll be over here drinking green potion and taking notes on The African Queen (which is so going to be The Athosian Queen when I'm done with it).

Eee, that's brilliant. I can't wait!
