Random thought that was bugging me at four this morning - a ficathon type thing I'd like to do this summer would be a bit different from the others I've seen in that people who signed up would be assigned an episode of Angel (or two, which is more likely so every episode gets covered) and then have to produce something specific to that episode. This would preferably be fic, but could also be icons, essay, review, quotes, anything else people can think of, and it all gets put on a site as a tribute to the show.

This sounds more coherent in my head, but would anybody be interested? (I'd probably need 55 people to make this doable)

(ETA: thinking I'd let people request one of their episodes on a first come first served basis since I'd like, say, a Doyle fan to do Hero, a Harmony fan to do Harm's Way and so forth. Or people could just give their preference for a particular season or character. But that's just me thinking aloud and depends on enough people being interested in playing in the first place)

That sounds really cool. (And again, I keep thinking I'm done with the Whedonverse, and then I see interesting ideas like this). I can't guarantee I would do it, since I don't know what life will be like this summer, but I'd at least think about it.

::waves hand:: Me, me! I would :-)

that sounds like it would be cool.
I would be interested

That sounds seriously cool. Although I would feel bad for whoever got, like, "She" or anything equally bad...

[eloise-bright.livejournal.com]

This sounds like a wonderful idea, and I wouldn't even mind if I got one of the slightly duff eps. Count me in!

*waves hand madly* Ooh, ooh, me, me! Granted, you'd be most likely to get icons out of me, but stick to what you're good at, right? ~_^

[swmbo.livejournal.com]

Ohh yes, that'd be fantastic. You should do it, yes you should, it would be a fantastic tribute.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

In that case I would strongly suggest the person pick up on the backstory of Angelus's history with Baudelaire that gets mentioned in the ep, or some nice animated icons of wacky dancing, because I can't imagine what else they'd do... but I think that'd be part of the fun of it, to see what people come up with when they're focusing just on one (well, two) episode.

[katemonkey.livejournal.com]

True, but I am just amused by some of the bad episodes that I am strangely fond of.

Dude, if I got "Eternity", I could focus entirely on Cordelia performing in The Doll's House. Rawr!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I'm seriously thinking about giving it a go this summer... the only problem's going to be cajoling 55 people (or 54, plus me) into signing on, since I think 2 episodes each is about as many as we should do.

[astridv.livejournal.com]

A tribute, what a wonderful idea! With the show ending and all, fandom has been pretty morose of late. We need something positive.

If there's, um, any chance there's a writer interested in collaborating on a short! comic (one or two pages)... I'd like to join in, but drawing is all I can do.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Hee. And it would rock. (I think if I got Eternity it would be alllll about Wesley chaining Angel to a bed)

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Wow, great idea! I'm sure there's someone who'd love to do a comic.

[lasultrix.livejournal.com]

She had that wacky hippie dude! Writing a fic about him could be fun.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

And that would be one of the fun things to come out of this, fic about incredibly obscure one-off characters! (Mmm, Files and Records. Denver. Penn. Hamburger Loa. Lawson!)

[swmbo.livejournal.com]

But the fact that it's thrown open to icon makers and essayists as well as fanfic writers makes it really doable I think.

And I would definitely, definitely sign up so that really just means you need 53! :p

Now I'm all excited, wee!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly sure I could, especially if summer really means mid-summer (after June at least).

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely. And the due date probably wouldn't be until September, or whenever season 6 would have started.

[alizarene.livejournal.com]

I would definitely participate in something like this! sounds great. :)

[arundhathi.livejournal.com]

I think it's a fantastic idea, and I'm definitely up for it.

[greensilver.livejournal.com]

This sounds like a great idea. Of course, I myself would be more likely to tackle it from a grahical angle - icons, wallpaper, an ep-based vid, that sort of thing - but then there could be fic, essays, sound clips, just about anything. I like the openness of it.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Graphics would be great! I'd love to get different kinds of creativity involved.

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

I'd do it. (as long as I can do season five Spike)

[gloss]

Gorgeous idea; please count me in.
Especially if, um. Maybe one ep I did could be "In the Dark"? Heh.
