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...

1. Feel free to add happy endings to anything. I suspect I shall also be tempted to do that.

2. "Ronon Holiday" wins. At EVERYTHING.

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.
