Anonymous asked: i don't know if you've already posted this, but what are your thoughts on Ian Somerhalder maybe playing Christian in 50 Shades? And Mark Salling as Jose? I know you're a Twilight ff.n writer, so obviously you know about 50 Shades and I know you love Ian. (;

Ian (or Rob, of course, though I know it most likely won’t happen) would be the only two actors that would make me watch the movie.  They’re the only two that I could ever see as Christian.  I haven’t read the published edition of the trilogy (or the ending of the story at all), but I would if they were cast.

As for Mark… IDK.  Maybe.  IJDK.  Never really “pictured” any other roles other than Rob or Ian as Christian/Edward, and Kristen for Bella/Ana.  To be honest, I can’t even recall who Jose was in the story.

The thing about 50 Shades, in my opinion, is that the characters were so obviously written after Edward/Rob & Bella/Kristen.  Even though the subject of the story was far-reached, several of the characteristics, expressions, mannerisms, etc were obviously theirs… there wasn’t any “extra” descriptions to the characters that made them stand out on their own, unlike quite a few other amazing fanfics out there, that could separate the Twi-world view in the story, so I think it’ll be really hard to cast the roles with a lot of the fanbase knowing the truth of the origin.
