whats #saveUBC about?

#SaveUBC is a small attempt to get members back online and participating so that User Based Casting (userbasedcasting.com) can stay on the interwebs. Over the past six months, member participation has steadily declined to the point where our Voting Cycles—in regards to both the lacking number of candidates and voters—are routinely compromised. A member suggested using the #SaveUBC hashtag to spread awareness of the severity of this situation. If there isn’t enough member participation to support Voting Cycles, my most realistic course of action will be to take the site offline.

BUT!—If activity levels DO pick up again, I’d like to take your renewed interest in the site to do some cool things, including:

Add some combination of the following book-to-film-adaptations: The Infernal Devices (Clockwork Angel), Panic, Elusion, Daughter of Smoke & Bone, and These Broken Stars (among others).

Introduce a new voting schedule that decreases the number of Voting Cycles held per adaptation by over 50%, as this will give Finalist titles (and the Voting Cycles themselves) more significance.

In my mind, there’s no point in trying to keep a dead site alive if its members have moved on. (PLEASE prove me wrong on that last part!)

Providing undiscovered actors for upcoming YA book-to-film adaptations since 2009. Join for feedback, contests, and more!

Hey, guys! Have you ever heard of User Based Casting? Well, in short, it's a website made up of fans of book series who are also actors. On this website, you can "audition" for certain roles in book to movie adaptations such as "The Uglies" and "Maximum Ride." The mission of the website is to get casting director's attention for when these stories are adapted to either the silver screen or the TV screen. There are some great actors, and you can audition yourself! You can also vote in each voting style for your favorite actors and favorite videos for each character! It's a great way to see these stories come to life and to help young fandom actors! Go ahead and join up to join in the fun! And, seeing as how I'm writing fan fiction scripts for a TON of upcoming fandom films (The rest of the TMI movies, the rest of the VA movies, the Chemical Gardens trilogy, etc.) and I might be actually casting for the roles to do short videos and fan fiction films, this is most likely where I'll be going to do my casting! BUT, without enough user activity, this site won't be able to continue much longer! Please help keep this awesome project going and SPREAD THE WORD! Use #SaveUBC on all social media that you can to spread the word, encourage new users, and get this site back up and running!!!
