Lol! But she's got the kind of cute and rounded Murph features.

Author Craft / Re: Handicapping your characters.
« on: October 17, 2010, 05:34:51 PM »
I tend to prefer emotional/psychological handicaps - and then there's also the simple fact that my characters are human. Yes, they have some psuedo-magical assistance but the fact still remains that they are humans facing off against really tough enemies and having to overcome really bad odds. As if that's not bad enough of a physical handicap, my characters then get injured thanks to said handicap. Although my characters usually recover from these injuries eventually they still serve as an extra handicap in the mean time. So I guess I'm basically just really cruel to my characters.

A great Buffy/Spike fanfic that tiny[but]fierce recommended called "West of the Moon, East of the Sun." http://dark-solace.org/elysian/viewuser.php?uid=5799 if you're interested. (You have to make an account to read it because they make you verify your age but the account opening is free and very painless.) Its very well written and not just about writting about Spike and Buffy hooking up. The character voices are a perfect fit with how they are in the show and it has great pacing and a very well-constructed story. And most imporantly the author actually writes them in character. Anyway, I would highly recommend it if you like fanfics.

Lol!
(Update: I'm on ch. 52 and loving it! The characters are written so well, the story is so well crafted, and she really captures the voices of her two narrators. And I imagine Spike would be really hard to do but she writes him brilliantly.)

Okay, it would be Lindsey 2.0, then. (I've really got to get back to watching Angel...but as it is I can't seem to drag myself away from homework and fanfics.)

Not sure. I've never actually seen him in anything so I look up pics and clips and I don't know. The long hair he had in a bunch of those pics, though, is very true to my image of Kincaid.

*throws rotten fruit (tomato)*

Harry for Mayor?
"Democrat? Republican?" *sneers* "I'm the one with the blasting rod."
He'd get my vote
Hehe...Harry may hate politics but the way Harry would do it, it just wouldn't be politics anymore. And that could only be a good thing.
Christian Kane for Kincaid
Has the right look except I'm not sure he looks sharp enough to play Kincaid. The hair is great, though.
Thanks for the welcome
My vote went for Jared Padawhatsis, from Supernatural. Mainly because I thought he looked like the closest fit, visually. And in theory we'd have to start with a younger actor.
Good pick! Although I've since converted to James Marsters, he was my initial pick. He is indeed great in Supernatural. His brother Dean (played by Jensen Ackles) actually has more of the Harry attitude in the show but I believe in Jared's acting enough to think he could pull it off. Plus, he has some pretty cool badass moments in Supernatural anyway. And the youth is certainly a plus since I definately think they should start the movies were JB started the books.

Anybody toss Zach "Chuck" Levi into the mix for Harry yet? Seems like a natural for the role. Tall, rangy, doofus, somewhat on the dorky side but dark and charming enough to make it loveable, somewhat socially awkward, but with the ability to snark his way through any situation, broods well, AND he's able to pull off serious and action to boot.
I guess we did go through a little phase of veggie obsession there, didn't we?
I really like Zach (and the show "Chuck" is just beyond awesome!!!) but I'm not sure he matches for the sharp features of Harry. Speaking of casting choice for Harry, if you're interested in seeing who else we think should be in the running feel free to check out the "who should play Harry" poll (the updated version) at http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,21170.0.html. I'm afraid Zach didn't make the list when I compiled it about a month ago but feel free to vote if you wanna.
Welcome to the board, btw!!!

I've been through worse.
Younger Harry - Lucas Bryant
Thomas - Matt Bomer (that's the image that convinced me to watch White Collar. This is the image that solidified it for me: B&W Matt Picture)
Billy Borden - Matt Lanter (or Robbie Amell, who plays Fred Jones in the Scooby Doo reboots on Cartoon Network)
Malin Åkerman for either Amazon Gard, Lasciel, or Lily the Summer Lady
Shaun Toub for the Gatekeeper
CCH Pounder for Martha Liberty (by the way, do you know how hard it was finding a picture of this woman where she is NOT smiling? ... as I don't imagine that Martha Liberty smiles often.)
Wes Studii for Injun Joe
Christopher Lee for the Merlin (just imagine a silver circlet around his head and a white staff instead of the evil black one.)
Jim Beaver as Ebenezer (need I say more?)
Mark Sheppard for Nicodemus
Jason Statham as Lloyd Slate :X
AWESOME CASTING!!! Only ones I don't approve are the casting of Loyd Slate (who doesn't look young and rough but kind of sexy like I always imagine,) Martha Liberty (I always picture her a little younger and good looking in an elegant 40-50 year old wise woman way,) and casting for Harry (since, although I would be far from bitter about your casting, I prefer James Marsters.) Casting for Billy (either one) is spot on and I love, love, love Mark Sheppard as Nic!!! I have had the hardest time finding the right guy for him and that actor is one of those I just love to hate with a passion. The Gatekeeper's casting is especially nice, too. I don't know I've ever really though about who should play him but this guy is totally it.

I'll concede you that point. Believe it or not, it all started with a tomato.
And back to the official topic of this thread...JAMES MARSTERS AS HARRY!!!!
