I've been interested in hosting a Congrats that is literary-themed, but I'd like to know if there is any interest in such a thing. It'll be run and played like most other Congrats games, except the names in the namebank will be drawn from books and plays. Each round would have some sort of theme. I might choose a particular author, book or series (ex. Shakespeare names, Harry Potter names) or I might go with something more generic (ex. fantasy names, dystopian names). I haven't had a lot of time for free reading in the past few years and I've always liked learning about names used in novels, so I thought that this would be a fun idea that would put me in a "literary" mood.

I'm curious to know if anyone is interested in a literary-themed congrats. If you are, what would you like to see, or what do you think would make good themes? What do you like to read? Names are easy to look up using Wikipedia and other sources (if I'm not familiar with them), but if you don't offer suggestions you're going to pretty much get classics, epics, and fantasy. So give me ideas, and I'll probably ask for suggestions again in the sign-up round.

Game will start in one or two weeks, depending on how quickly I get my act together.
