I don't really do the book-casting thing because it messes with my writing brain...but apparently my dad's first thought when Ellen Page came out was that she'd be perfect for the MC if my lesbian boarding school book became a movie.
Haha, pretty sure Ellen Page will be out of the playing-16-year-olds game in the kerjillion years it would take for this to become a real question, and also the idea of somebody I'm super attracted to playing the mousey teenager from my brain (who I feel very oldersisterly towards) is kinda squicky, but as far as parental approval and interest in my work goes, I thought that was pretty adorable. (And he is kind of accurate that she'd be perfect, in a Dawson casting way. There's very little physical description of the MC in the book, but at one point her girlfriend gets all romantical about her eyes, and Page's would for sure justify that.)
