[livejournal.com profile] 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...

Amazing idea for a ficathon/challenge. I'm currently thinking of all the ways Double Idemnity could be spun.

And, god, Vertigo. Really, a lot of Hitchcock would count, but Vertigo! I think my brain might need a moment.

Vertigo? OMG YES PLEASE.

Double Indemnity...would just be horribly, horribly depressing. But speaking of noir: I just wish I could think of a way for someone to do Night of the Hunter!

VERTIGO!!! I just spent an hour writing about that movie in my House post! *is slightly weirded out*

(Speaking of Hitchcock, the egg-collecting scenes in "Conversion" felt very much like a nod to Birds.)

This is a terrific challenge a.k.a. ficathon idea!

You shouldn't be. I can do the same thing and without any sort of context either. Oh, Hitchcock.

(I saw that too.)
