VDBiF comic dub
Project Overview
Vampires Don't Belong in Fairytales is a YA comic fantasy book series. The webcomic runs alongside it. The webcomic largely centres around the events of Fairy Roots, an LGBT+ romance, but features characters from the other books and comic only events as well.
Will has been obsessed with Fairyland since he was a kid. His mother told him it was a dangerous place full of monsters that would gobble him up. It was no way to discourage a small boy. He takes a gap year and sneaks off to Fairyland, where he gets a job as court jester for Tyrian, king of the Dark Realm. There are shenanigans.
The webcomics are here, although I won't be dubbing all of them: https://www.deviantart.com/puddingvalkyrie/gallery/41553805/vampires-don-t-belong-in-fairytales
EDIT: You guys ain't being paid enough to look through all my comics so I posted links to the specific comics that go with the lines on each role so you can see the facial expressions/context if you wanna.
I intend to post the comic dubs on YouTube, and although I doubt I'll make any money, I intend to monetise them if possible. I won't be able to pay royalties, so the fee stated is the entire payment for permanent rights. This is really just a little vanity project I thought would be cool, but I just want any VAs to be aware of this as some might not be okay with it, and I totally understand but wouldn't want you to waste time auditioning only to have to refuse due to the above.
The deadline will be roughly 2 weeks after the casting is finalised.
EDIT: I realised I didn't give you guys enough direction, I've tried to improve that. I'm sorry, I'm new at this.
15.04. - The scripts are now available. The relevant webcomic is linked above each section. I will be touching up the webcomics and have started this process.

Hello lovely people! I thought it was a bit tedious to post an update every single week so here is all of Vampires Don't Belong in Fairytales arc 2 in one place: Will goes home to his parents to 'fess up to spending a year in Fairyland and also brings Tyrian, the fairy vampire who is his boss (and who has a crush on him). That will definitely go well, couldn't possibly be awkward or anything.

Lead role recast
I've to recast for the role of Will Winters as the VA I originally cast was unable to complete the work. Copied project posted here: https://www.castingcall.club/projects/vdbif-comic-dub-2 There's just the tiniest amount of work to be done on the credits besides this.
Will has been obsessed with fairies and Fairyland since he was a kid. His mother told him stories about how dangerous and full of monsters it is, because she’s bad at psychology. He’s snuck off to Fairyland for a gap year, and has landed himself the position of court jester to King Tyrian. He loves Shakespeare, travelling, languages, etc. and is quite confident in his manner.
He’s a demi, and gradually falls in love with Tyrian, becoming his main partner in a polyamorous relationship.
Will is half-Otherworlder, and he’s spent a lot of time around his mother and other Otherworlder kids, so although he’s British, he has an American twang to his accent.

Why Sirrah, I am gay as a field full of marigolds, tended by tiny, butterfly butlers, no less. (whimsical)
I put it to you milord, that it is you who misunderstood my answer. (playful)
Mom, come back! Mom, Put the frying pan down.
Tyrian is king of the Dark Realm of Fairyland and a vampire. I promise it’s not as dumb as it sounds. Tyrian’s parents are missing and he’s become king sooner than we expected, so he’s still mostly acting like a prince and is carefree and kinda irresponsible when it comes to his royal duties. He has a bit of a hero complex about his dad, who was an actual hero (it’s a job description in the Otherworlds) and who he feels he’ll never live up to.
None of this is relevant to the comic, in which he and his boyfriend Will mostly say dumb things to one another and are nerds. He likes reading and writes historical romance and dreadful fanfiction in his spare time, most of which he won’t let anyone read.
I’m trying to get as close to the voice in my head as possible for this guy. Best advice I can give you is that he sounds like a sassy butler. EDIT: Aurelia's description of 'just pretend you're really posh and you think you're sexy' is pretty accurate. Sound posh and fabulous.
Comics the lines are from:
You’re applying to be court jester, you say? (kinda curious)
Perhaps you misunderstood my question? (kinda playful)
Wait, so I need blood to live and that’s bad, but it’s perfectly acceptable for you humans to use tree blood as a seasoning? (mild annoyance)
Aurelia is a half-French, half-Japanese cat yokai. She got stuck in Fairyland as a small child, and was found stealing food from the royal kitchens, so King Connall took her in. Tyrian’s childhood friend, she was his fool until she quit to become his bodyguard/a royal guard instead. She’s his best friend and the one who kicks his butt when he needs it. Quite the troll. Likes to mess with Will, but will always side with him against Louis. Party girl. Cast iron confidence.
Has lost her ability to speak French and Japanese, sadly,

Stop lying to my face and give me a straight answer. (like you're telling off a child for not owning up to something they definitely did)
I grew up with Master Tyrian, so I’m not really sure. Just pretend you’re really posh and you think you’re sexy. (She’s being asked ‘How did you do such a good impression of Master Tyrian?)
Maybe I want to take a crack at you <3
Mrs Winters moved to Stratford-Upon-Avon, and Earth, to get away from monsters like fairies and pixies and griffins that used to raid her hometown in the bad old days. Unfortunately all her talk of monsters and fairies only served to ignite a passion for them in her son, who brings a fairy home, to her initial dismay. She gradually gets less unhappy about it, but still reminds Tyrian that if anything happens to her son because of him, she’ll make him regret it.

It’s a terrible place, full of harpies and dragons and other horrible monsters that will gobble you up!
There’s a fairy on my sofa, Will. A FAIRY.
If anything happens to my son in your care, I will personally come after you with an iron stake.
Cynthia is Will’s little sister and she’s just as enthusiastic about fairies as he is. She’s keen to show what she knows, and not afraid of Tyrian in the slightest, fairy, vampire or whatever. She blames the internet. She likes most of the same things Will does, and is just as much of a sneaky rule breaker, borrowing his games (that she was specifically told not to touch) while he was away in ‘Japan’. Will hasn’t seen much of her in nearly two years, so he kinda still thinks she’s nine and is surprised when she acts older.
British, but like Will, has an American twang.
Comics the lines are from:
Are you really a fairy? That’s awesome! I always wanted to meet a fairy!
Well, you weren’t using ‘em! You were in ‘Japan’. (irritated, with air quotes)
Is my brother your slave?? (quite cheerfully)
A painfully shy teenage vampire from a Victorianesque culture. He has gone to stay in Fairyland to learn independence. He’s staying with his uncle Tyrian, who is the king. He’s most terrified of humans in particular, but any social interaction is difficult for him, as he’s spent his life meeting only family members occasionally. He likes reading.
A protagonist in the books but support in the comics.
Soft-spoken. Sounds more like a child than an adult, as his growth is stunted. He has a stutter which gets worse when he’s especially nervous.
Comics the lines are from:
We got directions from a mermaid. She mistook me for a human, though.
Wha-? But how did-? Doesn’t Uncle Tyrian…? (flustered/confused)
You don’t need to do that! (slight panic)
Lucinda is an Earthling girl who works as a fairytale prince. She works for Rent-A-Legend, an agency that fixes stories. She’s friends with Will and Princess Erlina, so visits Fairyland sometimes for social/work reasons. Nerd. Likes anime and cosplay.
A protagonist in the books, but support in the comics.
She’s from Manchester, so has a Northern accent.
Comics the lines are from:
Every instinct I’ve got is telling me not to accept that thing.
Anyone got a tissue? I got snail blood on my sword. (snail = monster snail)
Thanks, but I’ll pass. I can’t watch vampire stuff any more.
The Crown Princess of the Light Realm of Fairyland. Best friends with Lucinda, she helps her on quests and also does Rent-A-Legend quests on her own. Though not biologically related, she and Tyrian are brother and sister. Very proper, she tries to follow princess tropes, as she feels she’s expected to.
Very posh British accent. Like, a typical, old school princess accent.
Comics the lines are from:
So I’ll just be staying here then.
Don’t be silly, Lucinda.
It’s normal in Fairyland … (slightly sulky)
Celia is a nixie. Very friendly, she loves humans and always tries to talk to them, which usually doesn’t go so well. It might be because you’re a siren and you ask people to make out after about five minutes, Celia. One of Tyrian’s best friends.
Cheerful and very friendly.
Comics the lines are from:
You seem nice. You wanna make out?
Oh, you must be related to the prince! If you’re looking for the palace, it’s straight up the road there.
Do you wanna make out, your highness?
Will's dad. An accountant from Stratford-Upon-Avon, but married to a woman who moved there from another planet. He’s super chill about the whole thing. He didn’t really take his wife’s stories about fairies being dreadful all that seriously, so when his son brings one home he just asks if he’d like a cup of tea. Notices right away that they’re dating, even before they officially are. Pretty unflappable, and just a really nice guy.
Comics the lines are from:
Will! I didn’t know you were coming home. (pleasantly surprised)
Would you like a cup of tea, Mr. Fairy? (jovial)
I thought you were dating that Rosa girl? (curious)
