The author of Receiver of Many/Destroyer of Light (a Hades/Persephone duology) is asking tumblr for fancasts of who people would like to see as the different characters and to reblog them to her executive producer. I wanted to ask you guys to signal boost amongst your readers because I thought this would be a good opportunity to prevent an all-white cast from happening. Also, the Greek gods in this series are syncretized with gods from other belief systems (ex. Hades is also worshiped as Yama, Nergal, Osiris, etc), which I don’t exactly care for but if it means there’s a valid reason for a multicultural cast, I’ll take it. Not that that will stop some people. Website is therkalexander.com/tagged/fancasts/ for the entries. Hopefully this goes through this time.

@fandomshatepeopleofcolor I want to add, as the author of Receiver of Many, that I am PUSHING HARD for a multiracial cast.
One of the dominant things I’ve said to my fans is that I don’t want to see the typical butter cookie cutter casting call that happens for most films and TV series.
I want cast members of every conceivable background and color. I did an interview a few months back on “Behind the Scenes” where I say exactly that (my interview begins around 0:40:00).
