How do you find face claims/played bys/ whatever they are called now?

Good morning, gang! Starting now, Kaleidoscope World is open—one time only!—for face-claim/played-by reservations. Please submit your reservations through the “Ask Me Anything” function on our Tumblr page or click here; list your desired reservations along with your online handle, then click “Ask”. Each writer can reserve up to three celebrities until May 6, a week after opening. 

Here’s a quick refresher regarding our brief requirements for face claims and played-bys:

If using a PB, you may choose any celebrity or professional, forward-facing public figure—such as an actor, model, musician, or comedian, et cetera—who is 18 years of age or older.

Reserved public figures, or those already in use on the site, are as follows: 

Abigail Cowen (reserved by Ellejay) Amber Ruffin (reserved by lo-fi) Brett Goldstein (reserved by Joss) Callum Turner (reserved by Spud) Chase Sui Wonders (reserved by Grace) Chris Evans (reserved by Ginger) James Earl Jones (reserved by lo-fi) Janice Sommers (reserved by Val) Jenna Ortega (reserved by Adina) Jon Bernthal (reserved by Vera) Julia Horillo (reserved by Val) Karen Fukuhara (reserved by Nicole) Laura Jane Grace (reserved by lo-fi) Madelyn Cline (reserved by Sea) Manny Montana (reserved by Ellejay) Monica Barbaro (reserved by Sea) Natasha Liu Bordizzo (reserved by Sea) Nico Hiraga (reserved by Adina) Oliver Jackson-Cohen (reserved by Kaylyn) Redro Pascal (reserved by Grace) Poppy Liu (reserved by Stu) Sabrina Carpenter (reserved by Lyssa) Sab Zada (reserved by Jude) Sebastian Stan (reserved by Ellejay) Sigourney Weaver (reserved by Nik) Steven Yeun (reserved by Vive) Suriya (reserved by Jude) Taika Waititi (reserved by Vive) Thiago Perri (reserved by Pax)

Hello! Yes! Thank you so much for these kind words. I absolutely can give you the gist of the face claim guidelines—the short version, then the long version! Here's the short version regarding rules, restrictions, and requirements for face claims:

... There aren't a lot of rules, restrictions, or requirements for face claims.

Let me tell you a little bit about the long version, though: First, face claims will be optional. You may or may not have noticed I wasn't using one for my character Frances, for example. I wholeheartedly support the use of aesthetic imagery, description, vibe, and faceless photos if that's the way you wanna go for your character. But maybe it's not! If you're interested in using a face claim, then you may choose any celebrity or professional, forward-facing public entertainment figure—such as an actor, model, musician, or comedian, et cetera—who is 18 years of age or older. (I have no other restrictions regarding casting your characters: I'm not going to do an age-adjacent rule. I won't police what time period you pull your stars and celebrities from. And I'm not going to require anything super specific about their images other than their size.) Personally, I think writers tend to be pretty good at sticking to their own comfort zones and preferences regarding face claims—so I'm going to let you all do that. (:

So by all means: let a few characters begin to form in your mind...

And also more reasons.

Mostly sass.
