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!

Okay here goes! For the recurring cast of the Toby universe:

Toby - Cobie Smulders, better known as Robin Scherbatsky from How I Met Your Mother. I know if the only thing you've seen her in is HIMYM, she doesn't seem like the right fit, but she looks the perfect part in my head, and I know she could be Toby. And also May. :)

Tybalt - Ewan McGregor, the idea of which was originally proposed, I think, by Katie Tinney, but she was just so so right.

The Luidaeg - Dame Judi Dench, because she is all kinds of awesome, including being super tough and scary.

Connor - James Marsden. Because he's always always the one who starts off with the girl, but ends up getting left for the cooler guy at the end. Sorry if I've offended anyone, especially the authoress herself, but that's just the way I see Connor, because I'm a hardcore Tobalt shipper.

Lily - Gong Li, who was in Memoirs of a Geisha.

Sylvester - Alan Tudyk, perhaps a bit older? But I still love him, and he can totally be a redhead.

Luna - Kate Winslet, who we all know from Titanic also makes a gorgeous redhead. Plus she's so regal and elegant and I just adore her.

Rayseline - Amy Adams. Not the most obvious choice here, but I think she could really pull off the crazy evil bitch part in a way that would surprise everyone. :)

Quentin - Chris Colfer, obviously from Glee. As the youngling, I think his porcelain features make him perfect and adorable, as Quentin is.

And lastly, Toby's cats, Lacey and Cagney should be played by none other than your cats, Seanan, because really any combination of your three cats sounds just like them. Maybe whichever one doesn't get the part of an actual cat can be Spike.
PS- sorry for the extended italics. I forgot an end tag and don't have a paid account to be able to go in and fix it. Alas.
