A movie challenge!

[storyfan.livejournal.com]

triedunture's wonderful take on "Casablanca" got me to thinking. Dangerous, I know. But I wondered if fic writers would enjoy taking a scene from a movie (any movie, any time period) and substituting Bertie and Jeeves for two of the characters. I can see them in "It Happened One Night," "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," "The Maltese Falcon" and even "Thelma and Louise." I'm sure there are many others that would be perfect for two aspiring Edwardian thespians.

And, as I'm doing for the Halloween fics, I'd put together a doc with all the completed stories for everyone to enjoy.

When they're due: Well, what about March 7? That's when the Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled. I'll post a reminder mid-February if people would like that.

Triedunture has kindly allowed me to link her marvelous fic just in case you need an example or if you just want to chortle again, Sam. Play it Again, Jeeves

I could totally see Bertie and Jeeves as Thelma and Louise.

Right. You just know me...

I love this!! And I admit I have been planning to do a crossover with a certain movie and J&W. But to get it ready in 2 months... Tell me, should I try it?

... Did I hear anyone say Grease? XD LOL!

What a brilliant idea! I haven't written any slash in almost 2 years, but this challenge might just encourage me to have another go at it... Hmm...

HAH.

[toodlepipsigner.livejournal.com]

Oh my ... this is a dangerous thing for me to think about. =X
Still, brilliant idea as always. Should be very interesting indeed. =]

'If I may be permitted to say, you are the one I want. Oooh oh oh, sir.'

Genius idea, and surely someone can do better than my own halfarsed attempt? ;)

[bulldogscram.livejournal.com]

Awesome idea! Can't wait to read all the resulting fic. :D

[toodlepipsigner.livejournal.com]

I think whoever does should play the 'grease' off as a double-entendre for lube. But that's just me and I'm an idiot. ;-)

I WILL DO EET!!!! But I can't promise I'll stay very true to the story line...

[toodlepipsigner.livejournal.com]

Oh, VERY good! I have read some of your pieces- they are very interesting! ;-) I look forward to reading! Plot-line or no! ;D
