okay. so.

So I want to write something for halfamoon, but I'm not sure what yet? I was kind of thinking of a crossover with awesome ladies, like Buffy and Veronica meeting in a post-apocolyptic world or something? I don't know.

But since I seem to have ZERO creative powers lately, throw some ideas at me. Crossovers would be awesome (I still miss choco_cherries), or a fandom you know I’m in but I haven’t written for, or a movie you’d like to see fic for or something. I want to see if something sticks, basically. And obviously it has to be lady-centric.

I’d really rather not get prompts for things I write a lot of (for instance, if you want me to write some Buffy, please make sure that the premise is startlingly original?), just because I’m trying to stretch myself. And I think it goes without saying that I won’t be writing all of them or maybe any of them at all, but hopefully some discussion will inspire me?

Anyways…thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

Gender!Swap Cast: The Great Escape

Apparently my mind has gotten so entrenched in gender!swap that I have actually started dreaming about it.

As some of you have heard, the other night I dreamed that I was gender!swap casting The Great Escape--I even dreamed who I'd cast as Hilts. When I woke up, I realized that I had to actually do this (and yes, the lady I cast as Hilts is the same one from my dream--who's to argue with the brilliance of my subconscious?).

The Great Escape is one of my favorite films of all time. I grew up on it, and it's instant happy-making. It's got fun characters, ridiculously enjoyable actors, funny dialogue, adventure, and one of the greatest soundtracks ever written for film. The only thing it doesn't have is women. There's not a single woman with a speaking role in this film (the only ladies who show up are extras). And honestly, this is one of the rare occasions when this makes sense: the film takes place in a German POW camp during WWII, a location that wouldn't be exactly crawling with women, besides Red Cross nurses who might visit from time to time. But what could be more fun than imagining a group of women playing these roles?

A quick summary for those of you haven't seen the movie, provided by imdb: Based on a true story, a group of allied escape artist type prisoners of war are all put in an 'escape proof' camp. Their leader decides to try to take out several hundred all at once. The first half of the film is played for comedy as the prisoners mostly outwit their jailers to dig the escape tunnel. The second half is high adventure as they use boats and trains and planes to get out of occupied Europe.
