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!

Hm... It's very hard to pick. :( BUT! I think I will do Sparrow Hill Road, because... because!

Rose Marshall: Amanda Seyfried. I've only just discovered the adorableness that is this girl, because I've only just recently discovered the awesomeness of Veronica Mars, BUT. I think she's versatile enough to pull off spunky-but-innocent 1940's Rose, and full-of-attitude present-day Rose (both in acting and looks). If Sparrow Hill Road were a television show (which I would kill for, honestly), she'd be the person I would most want tapped as Rose.
Bobby Cross: Harry Hamlin. Okay, yes, another Mars cast member, but he's really got the mix between good looks, charm, and underlying creepiness that Bobby Cross really should have, in my opinion. I'd want him from around his LA Law days, but I think he's really perfect. As Aaron Echolls, I never was quite comfortable with him, though he SEEMED charming enough initially, so I know he can play that sort of role, and I think it would be fab.
Gary Daniels (High Schooler): Marc Blucas. Around the time he was playing Riley on Buffy, maybe a bit earlier. He really does have that Good Ol' Boy thing going on, clean cut, polite, well-spoken. I think with the right haircut, he would pass as a 1940's teen just fine. Also, I think he and Amanda would look completely perfect together as Rose and Gary.
Gary Daniels (Present): John Noble. He's not quite built like Marc, but I deeply admire John and think he is a fabulous actor. While older!Gary would not be in the cast for long before dying, I know John can pull of the deep and intense emotion he'd need for the role. Plus, I just ADORE him.
Emma: Gina Bellman. She can be fierce, she can be hilarious, she's got great range as an actress and a great quirky look that I love. Plus, she really kind of catches the way Emma looks in my head. Hey, it's America, who says a Bean Sidhe's gotta be white? ;)
Bethany Marshall: Jodelle Ferland. Okay, okay, she's a little young. But we know that she's capable of playing "Nice Girl" and "Really Frakkin' Crazy", and I just think she's really awesome and I think she would do well in the part.

That is my dream casting! :) Can't wait to see what the winning cast is, even if it IS random.
