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!

A proposal for the Toby books!

October Daye/May Daye: Audrey TautouTybalt: Michael FassbenderQuentin: Jeremy Sumpter
It's not easy to bring a fay demeanor and charm to a hard-as-nails role, but this actress has the range to play every version of Toby, plus her easy-going Fetch.Is this selection influenced by his performance as Magneto? Oh yes. He had the walk, the talk, and the pointy teeth to recommend him highly.His Peter Pan knocked my socks off and those of everyone I know. He'd be earnest, and noble, and perfect in every way. Just look at that grin!
The Luidaeg: Cate BlanchettSylvester Torquill: David WenhamLuna Torquill: Nicole Kidman
Katherine Hepburn would have topped the list for this role, no doubt, and those are hard shoes to fill. But perhaps the lady who brought us Galadriel can create a character who's striking, terrifying, and otherworldly enough to do.Hair can be dyed, but one's demeanor can't, and this role should be played by a redhead. And, if I may quote, "There’s nothing conventionally pretty about him, but when he smiles, he’s breathtaking."When presented with a lady who's quite literally a fox and a rose, one name jumps immediately to mind.
Lily: Kobayashi RyokoThe Queen of the Mists: Talulah RileyRaj: Ben Barnes
Her winning performance in the Japanese drama Maou testifies to her hand with a strong but delicate otherworldliness.And speaking of otherworldly, here's a cold, timeless, inhumanly perfect beauty, ready to eat your heart out.Caspian is just what a princeling cat should be, especially when he snarls.


On the non-human side, I must recommend one of the cats who keeps myself and my housemates for kitty-form Tybalt.

 

See how he was able to recreate Mr. Fassbender's expression? And he absolutely adores Toby.

There are some pics of him smiling with his pointy teeth and it's just the PERFECT image to me of the King of Cats.

The pointy teeth were the dealmaker!
