Daisy’s comments from the My Sibling The Mythical Being! group.

OK, so I've been thinking about actors who could theoretically play characters from MSTV in an adaptation. As always for the characters who are like 13-14 the actors should be a lot younger than they are, so we'll just have to use our imagination! If you don't know who these people are just Google them because, as you can see clearly from above, I'm hopeless at this putting photos into comments business!

Sophia - Michelle Trachtenberg (with darker hair I can really imagine her as one of the vamps. She does look really similar to the actress I suggested for Ivy, but I'm wondering whether she'd be better as Ivy and Elizabeth Gillies would be better as Sophia...?)

Holly (from Stake Out {MSTV #12}) - Amanda Seyfried (I remember Holly being described as having strawberry blond hair and for some reason I always think of Amanda Seyfried whenever anyone says that, so she might be a good fit)

Countess Lazar (Ivy and Olivia's grandmother) - Julie Andrews (She doesn't look that similar to how I imagine the Countess but she played the grandmother in the Princess Diaries movies and did a great job of that - I think she'd be good for the Countess because she can act quite regal and strict but is also kind like the Countess is)

So yeah, that's just a couple of ideas I had - what d'you guys think? I still don't have a clue who could play Brendan. Any ideas?

Wow, this is pretty confusing! But OMG I am SO excited!

I don't know what's up with the double title. At least the edition I own is called Double Disaster so I won't mix them up! Coincidentally, we were actually just talking about Fangs for the Memories as a title for the 13th book in the Double Disaster spoiler thread, and we were thinking it might be a play on 'Thanks for the Memories'. That does not sound good for Jackson finding out about vampires!! It sounds like Olivia and Jackson might break up!! Guys I'm kinda freaking out about this!!!

The new synopsis sounds great though - I feel like it's now strongly implying Jackson will find out and will have to take the Blood Tests, so that's good to hear. I wouldn't really say they are bloodcurlingly difficult though... more like pretty easy, lol. Still, I'm really really excited to see more Blood Tests and how they're portrayed differently this time.

And can we please talk about this new power thing Ivy's got going on?! We've never heard anything about this before and it sounds incredible! Ivy definitely needed a big storyline to compare with this huge one Olivia's obviously got going on - and this sounds like exactly that! I'm always intrigued to see more of the vamp world and how they're different to humans so I literally CANNOT WAIT.

Also, let's talk cover! What do you guys think of it? I think Ivy looks amazing - her whole outfit and everything is just so cool! Slightly grumpy haha but that's typical of her. Olivia I don't love so much... especially her pout just makes her look kinda stuck-up in my opinion. Still, really liking this cover - first time for a good few books I've liked Ivy's look more than Olivia's.

OK, I think that's all my thoughts on all this craziness. Kinda went a bit exclamation mark crazy... but I am so freaking excited for this book!!! Would love to hear what you guys are thinking about all this - let's chat!

If I didn't say my score it means I got them all right - just didn't want to seem too arrogant lol.

Ohh, I bet Question 3 was the one I got wrong on the last one. Yeah, I agree it's not very clear. :/

Jessica Phelps?

Oh, yeah. Let's see... Ah, I know! Is it Vega and Daniels? Nice trick question. :D

Which character learned Japanese within the MSTV series?

So let's do our character profile for Ivy (we previously started one on Olivia here)! Feel free to suggest things you think would fit for her.

I also came up with some new things to put on the profile:

Most likely to be found wearing:
Most likely to be carrying:
Catchphrase:

What d'ya think? ;)

I've been looking for Charles-focussed MSTV fanfics with no luck. :( However, I did find this one which I thought was pretty intriguing: My Sister the Vampire Fanfiction Part 1 by DrachenGarnet.

It's not even got that much MSTV stuff in it but I really want to know (view spoiler)[what creature Abigail is (hide spoiler)]! Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a part 2 anywhere.

N. Nails (it mentioned that Nathan's nails were painted khaki coloured in MBTW)

"Packer. You are one radical dude. But you're also a dumb dude."

"I wish you well with your little . . . book."

Hey what d'you mean classic me?! :D

Is it Jackson?

Vega and... Barton?

1. Already put some actors above but that was ages ago - will try and think of some more!

2. I think a TV show would work well. They've already got plenty of storylines in the books to use. Like 3 or 4 episodes per book might be cool, with some bigger storylines spanning an entire series and extra short ones in each episode, you know. Trying to stuff it all into a movie or cutting tons out would cause it to be too different to the books, I think.

3. This is a cop-out answer, but I can think of so many scenes I love! Seeing the twins switch I guess would be my answer - I think that'd be a really cute scene.

4. I'd say humorous and fun, with some more serious 'ohmygosh how are they gonna get out of this' kinda moments... does that make sense? :P

5. Ooh, cool upbeat guitar songs, like you usually hear in teen TV shows, for the more casual scenes, with some rock and classic spooky vamp-style organ tunes for the more dark and tense scenes.

6. YES of course. They should try to keep the script and story as close to the books as possible.

These are great questions, Sage! I'm actually really getting into this idea now! Excited to hear what you guys answer to the questions. Here's another one that might be interesting to talk about:

7. What settings from the books would you be excited to see on screen?

Hey, I totally forgot about this thread! I actually just discovered there's a ton of MSTV quizzes on this site called Allthetests.com. Here's my favs of the ones I've taken so far:

MY SISTER THE VAMPIRE! by Olivia (can I just say I love the idea of one of the Blood Tests being trying to hide without a vampire finding you, and Mr. Abbott being a toothpaste designer!)

My sister the vampire (EXTREME) by Amy - I got 14 of 15 on this one.

My sister the vampire quiz by Kezia - I got 9/10 on this one, not sure which one I got wrong and I don't know if there's a way to tell on this website...?

Still can't find any Bro the Werewolf quizzes, even off Goodreads. What is wrong with the world?! :D

It wasn't really a trick question... I was just going to accept werewolves... but yes, you're right. Well done!

Oh, of course, I haven't said Olivia.

I reckon this was Debi talking to Justin.

Lol, Sage! I was thinking it might make things a little too... how do I put this... perfect, I guess? But now you say about the vamp community I'm sure there'd be a lot of controversy going on with that. It would be sad not to have any Lillian though. Wait - if Susannah survived, would they even have put Olivia up for adoption? Then Ivy and Olivia wouldn't even have been separated and they wouldn't find eachother! OK, on second thought this might change the series quite a lot!
