Poll: is there interest in a ficathon?
Had a thought... once the SGA/SG1 & the rarepairing ficathons are done, would anyone be interested in another ficathon?
warning: my LJ account doesn't allow for proper polls; sorry.
My first instinct is to try to organize a multi-fandom ficathon with the central theme of culture/anthropology...but that's open to change and suggestions.
The initial fandoms would be (and can be added to)
* Stargate: Atlantis
* Stargate: SG-1
* Land of the Lost
* Firefly
* Battlestar Galactica
One restriction would be that it would be a 'verse where the focus is on humans, and there are few if any other intelligences (no Buffy, no Babylon Five)...not sure if Primeval would fit into this ficathon - what do you think?)
Some options are...
* Technology (what sort of society would Cylons make if they didn't have to worry about humans? what missing scenes didn't the Bionic Woman show us? is Merrin still alive?)
* Society (what sort of laws do the kids from 'Childhood's End' have? what did the Ori do before they had worshippers? are the Hands Of Blue a separate caste as the Companions seem to be? are there any cultural practices as extreme or more extreme (in these 'verses) as footbinding on Earth?)
Or I could just run a ficathon for Bionic Woman, Life, Journeyman, and Rome.
Thoughts?
