When I saw that picspammy's current challenge was a second chance for doing a casting picspam, I thought 'Hooray! I can do that!'.

I DID I DID! :D

Heee! Hopefully you'll like it if you go through all that effort to read it. It's a good book, but a little odd. It would definitely make an amazing movie if it was done right. The author specifically said that he didn't want to write something chronicling the heroic struggle of the survivors, because that's been done so many times, and is also very unrealistic. So this story is really rather bleak, but a lot more accurate to might actually happen. But it's also a fantasy and there are lots of elements of that, so... Yes, basically it would make a good movie, but will probably never happen. :P

Your suggestions were so good! Thank you so much. ♥

And you're welcome. I have a bunch of useless tv/actor knowledge that you can use at your disposal anytime! XD

Hooray! I don't think I'm going to do anymore casting picspams for a long time, but if I do, I know who to come to! :D

LOL. I understand a long break was needed. I took the easy way out with one character.
