Cast your net to win a copy of ONE SALT SEA!

It's time for ARC giveaway #3...the casting call! Here's how this is going to work:

1. Leave a comment on this post with YOUR DREAM CAST for ANY of my projects. Want to cast the Toby books? How about Feed? Or Sparrow Hill Road? Have the perfect actress in mind for Velveteen? The sky's the limit!

1b. Be sure your comment starts its own thread. Only casting choices left on the original post (not as a comment on someone else's comment) will count as entries. You can suggest cast members for someone else's dream team, but they won't be entries.

2. One entry per project per person (so you can cast the Toby books and the InCryptid books in different comments, but not enter twice with different Toby casts).

3. Explain your cast in the comment. Why are they perfect? Why should we agree with you?

And then...GAME ON! I will choose a winner via random number generator on Friday, at 5PM PST. I reserve the right to supply a bonus prize or prizes for the person whose cast amuses me most, or strikes me as the best supported. (Yes, you can use my casting choices, but you do need to explain why you agree with them.)

Go Hollywood or go home!

I was instantly drawn to the prospect of casting the Velveteen series...until I started trying to think of Hollywood actresses of the right sort, and DQing most of them. Which made me think in a totally different direction, at which point I realized that the dead-perfect Velveteen is...


...wait for it...



Vixy (aka vixyish).

I'm totally serious here. Consider: aura of pure adorability, check. Relates well to plush toys, My Little Ponies, etc., check. Can appear totally bewildered and lost at times, check. Promptly rises above bewilderment, etc. and kicks villainous butt, check. Could totally carry off wearing the outfit in public, check....

Which, of course, leads us to:

Action Dude: Tony, aka tfabris. Another shoo-in. Chiseled good looks, mild-mannered (but rock-steady) charm, and most importantly the ability to look convincingly sheepish on cue.

Sparkle Bright: Brooke, aka hsifyppah. The perfect anti-heroine; instantly respected, possessed of dangerously rapier-like wit, suffers fools not at all...and will ultimately do the right thing, even if she'll kill you for so much as suggesting it was her idea.

The Halloween Princess: seanan_mcguire, of course.

Which pretty much covers the major roles. I'm tempted to suggest filkertom for The Claw, though....
