Can-Lit Hunger Games?

[dewline]

I have to admit to not having followed the books that inspired this, and yet have found myself knowing more about the premise than is perhaps comfortable.

Anyway.

CBC decided to have some fun of their own with the concept as a way of encouraging us to go (re)read some homegrown stuff. At least one of the characters' creators used to blog here on LJ and I'd be interested in his reaction in particular to this!
