The counter-propaganda magical girl show (tag: [pink bishoujo ghettoization]) is moving along and it's high time it had its own discussion post. We've discussed it over AIM but we, the mods, recognize that not everyone uses AIM or fits with our own schedules. Also some of us might want their suggestions noted permanently up here and us mods can forget things sometimes, so it helps us too.

For those who are new, the basis of the plot is that the Fay'lia have struck another blow in the propaganda war with the station by broadcasting a magical girl show that paints thinly disguised expies of the crew as the villains. The crew has decided to produce a counter-show with the opposite theme.

There is a <a href=http://community.livejournal.com/entanglement_rp/25298.html?style=mine>casting post</a> up. Pretty much anyone who tries out will get in the production in one way or another. In addition to actors, the show will also need technicians, artists, voice actors, and CGI people.

The show will be set in a cyberpunk future/present with nanites in the place of applied phlebotinum.

Our only for sure role casted is Duck as the female lead.

Tentative casting:

-Yuri as the male lead/Kamina style hero

-Victoria as the EGL villain

-Ba'al as the Goldfish Poop Gang leader

-Mary Weather as the female lead's best friend

-Cain as the brooding anti-villain

And Tess, Nitori, Sheeana, Motoko, Sajit and Lain on the technical and artistic side of things.

There are a number of other potential roles free, especially those of the lead's abusive parents, the heroine's animal companion and various rebels and villains.
