geeky1. 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!

Vel: Kitty Pride. She doesn't have the angst quite down, but she could probably pull it off, and she's got the right overall physical conformation.
Sparkle Bright: You know, I was -going- to say Dazzler. But really, I couldn't think of anyone better to play Sparkle, barring age issues, than Katie Power.
Action Dude: Cyclops. He's got the air of utter seriousness, and the experience with dumb romantic issues.
Princess: Dazzler. She's not even close to Princess, of course, but she's good enough to pull her off, and she's good at the air of almost-innocence.
Hailey: I'm running a blank here. Maybe Illyana? But it would be a stretch for her; I don't think I remember ever seeing Magick smile, and that was before she died and was brought back to life (twice?). OTOH, blonde bad-ass ruler of a dark other dimension describes both of them. If one wanted to push style, maybe Dagger?
Scaredey Cat: well, if Hailey is Dagger, Scardey Cat is Cloak. Or one could drop into Astro City and cast him as Jack-in-the-Box, but that breaks one of my constraints.
Jackie: Emma Frost. Obviously!
Tag: Hmm. Bad boy. Clean cut, young-ish. Actually, I could see Peter Parker playing him; they've got totally different styles, but they both have the "youngish rogue" bit down.
