I've started a new WIP ~TCR (Dystopian :D) about a group of people with special powers, created to help humans escape Earth, as it was very polluted by the end of the 21st century. The Daytons are amongst the last of this group of people. Though unlike their kind, they're not marginalised.

Hi Rebecca ,
Must be the genre because I often imagine these same actors as characters in my writing. Gives me a good picture in my head to work with.

Okay, I come to this thread seeking the assistance of you brilliant YA casters! (This thread is great, by the way, and I've gotten some great ideas from it).

So, anyone who can help me with an actress for my MC gets rep points! :D (You know you want them!)

Her basic description:
This is a contemporary YA novel. Julia, the MC, is a seventeen-year-old with shoulder-length, medium brown hair. Eye color is not an issue. She most often wear glasses. Think Tina Fey...as a teenager. Glasses are a must.

So...anyone have an suggestions/pictures for me? :)

Ellen Page? I don't know if I've ever seen her wear glasses, though.

or

No glasses of course. I don't think there are many pictures of teen actresses with glasses, even if they wear them.

I looove doing this for my characters. :x

For the MCs in Half Light and its sequel...

Stacy Dupree of Eisley as Noel (a bit awkward and silly, 'cute' but not gorgeous or someone who'd really stand out in a crowd).
29169



Thomas Dekker as Ridley (Only in this particular role, though, 'From Within.' Boy-next-door kind of look.)
29174



Tom Sturridge is the closest I've found to Avery (smirky, definite 'I'm an asshole and I know it' vibe).
29665



Molly Quinn as Candice (friendly, easy-going, red-headed with plenty of freckles).
28252



Aaand Greyston Holt would potentially make a good Quinn (very tall, kind of quiet but sweet).
30613



I have more for other storylines, but I'll leave it at this. ;)

My book has been hard to cast for the main reason that I have all them at different ages for a good majority of the book. But I'll give it a try.

Summary: My main character Ithaca Porter is writing her autobiography for her English class. She bounces back and forth from her present day life to the past. Takes place in New York City with excursions to Orlando, Florida and Philidelphia.

Kitty- The one you say is perfect for your character Bridget, that is Rachel LeFleur (I know I completely messed up her last name, sorry) from the first two Twilight movies..she was Victoria the evil vampire.
