I'd kick this off proclaiming it a most wonderful time of the year, but there can only be so many mosts, and I would hate to get boring and leave you all without a proper tag in. So. SALUTATIONS, FANDOM.

Looking for a change of locale? Tired of wanting to stuff your roommate down a garbage chute with a sock for a gag? Or are you looking for new and exciting people to torture with your poor hygiene habits? We're sorting out roommates again, so if you're looking for a new one, toss your name into the RNG here!

We'll take new roommates both from the new pile of characters coming up next term, or throw you in with an oldbie also looking for a change. If you want to request a specific room change, [info]fh_office is still the place for this: this one's for anyone who just wants to be random-picked.

Please note that we can't guarantee you'll get someone, but we'll certainly try the best we can!

Comments are screened. Deadline is December 20th.

In case you missed it, applications for the spring semester are officially open, and on a specific note, the librarian position is open again. If you'd like to apply for a character for this position, they should be classified as a "teacher" on the application form, but instead of a course description, tell us how your character is specifically suited for the position, and any ideas you have for better serving the school and town. Current adult characters may also apply for this position -- if that's the case, this is the only section of the application you need to fill out, besides name, rank, and serial number.

Thanks, and get cracking on those apps!

What It's All About

Chuck is a spy dramedy created by Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz, the latter whom some of you may know as the creator of The OC and Gossip Girl. It's about a seemingly normal, yet socially awkward nerd who one day downloads a super computer full of government secrets into his brain. The premise sounds super lame, we know, but it's really quite delightful and well written.

Chuck must deal with his new life as a spy, maintain his day job at the Buy More, and deal with his family and friends as well as his complicated love life. You can expect lots of spy intrigue, ridiculous, yet awesome adventures, cool special effects, lots of laughs, and plenty of pretty. Basically, it fits right into Fandom.

This is a notice that Angela, Jono, Momoko, and Morgana will all be serving detention (or maybe jail time, considering how they're getting there) tomorrow with Max and Sam. Hurray for being mean to characters! :D

Since it is application time again (THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR) it's also time to give those character journals that you have hidden away a trial run.

"But how can we do that? There's no place to do a trial run of a character!"

Oh but there is! It's called [info]fh_launchpad and it is open for your use!

Just review the rules and post an application here!

Don't even try to join the community directly or [info]living_endless and I will mock you from afar. Afar I say!

And now I shall return to my cold meds which are especially tasty today.

Hiya! I'm interrupting your gaming experience again, this time to let you that Spring 2010 applications open November 22nd, which is this Sunday and will be running until December 20th.

So get those ideas going! If you're having trouble picking between potentials, ask friends, RNG, pray to Zefron for guidance, whatever.

Now someone make the UPS dude get here. I want to kill zombie clowns, goddammit.

There's going to be a detention held next weekend with Sam and Max, so that means it's time for a lottery! Leave a comment here if you would like your student to "randomly" get picked to serve detention next Saturday.

I'm being selfish today and throwing this one up because I missed it the first time around and a rainy, Nor'easter filled day (and a holiday for some Americans) seemed like a good day to have a geek out meme.

Reverse Questions Meme

Tag in with your characters and then people will comment asking the MUNS anything about the GAME or THEIR CHARACTERS, because we all know the muns will answer when the characters won't. They can be specific questions ("How does he feel about her?") or general questions ("Why did you choose this pup?", "How do you channel them?", etc).


Please remember to check back throughout the day for new characters so you can ask MOAR questions!

Hello hello!

So, after a couple weeks of sporadic posting (partially on my end, here -- note how this is on a Monday, omg), I consulted with the mighty admins, and there's goin to be a couple changes to the spotlight on fandoms MO.

First and foremost, there will be three fandoms chosen every two weeks, rather than two once a week. As a fandom drawn for spotlighting, you'll be able to post anytime during those two weeks -- which affords both myself and you guys a little leeway.

Secondly, I'll email you if I don't hear whether you can do it or not within a day or so, just to make sure, since I know not everyone is crazy and tacks the OOC comm like I do. :D

Thirdly, I've already RNG'd for the fandoms we'll hear from on Sunday, November 22 -- Chuck, Powerpuff Girls Z, and Wicked/Son of a Witch. Let me know ASAP if you can go during this time!

Any questions, otherwise?
 
 


Yes, that includes tomatoes even though they're really a fruit. On Tuesday the 10th, vegetables throughout Fandom -- except in the dorms -- will be infected by oleracea carnivora, the 24-Hour Man-Eating Vegetable Flu. Symptoms include growing teeth, growing an attitude, growing as big as your average footstool, and moddable HUNGER FOR YOUR FLESH.

They can be dispatched with whatever weapons you might have handy, be it sword, club, crossbow or Mixmaster 2000, but prepare to be covered in sticky, seedy mess when they explode on you after squishing or puncturing, and watch out for the regular-sized ones too - they can gang up on you!

The Kwik-Stop isn't safe. The cafeteria isn't safe. Even the streets of Fandom aren't safe, because what was that noise behind you? Is that an eggplant rolling after you down the sidewalk, gibbering as it goes?

(Questions, comments, anachronistic fruit?)

It's about that time again: time to catch up with who has job openings, where our new grown-ups have settled in or our old ones have shifted, and any changes to your business info you'd like to make!

Please take a look through the OCD threads within, and if it applies to you, let us know! If it doesn't.... here. Have boobs!

[OCD up! Boobs for all!.]

*uses new kid's account with the dirty orgy icon*

Since it's been a crap month for most people [info]momslilassassin suggested we do the love meme today, since we could all use virtual hugs. I agree! Not just because I love it when people tell me how I awesome I am. I like to give back too.

Anyway, I'm sure you know how this goes but for funsies let's go over the rules again:

I'm sure you all know how this works but I shall give you a reminder:

1. Make a comment to this post with the name of your character. (If you play more than one character, you can make a comment for each of them.)

2. Go through and leave anonymous comments in other characters' threads saying nice things about them. (About the character or how they're played, or even something you like about the player; any of this is acceptable as long as they're nice things.)

3. Read the comments your characters get and feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Please don't say anything negative to anyone in this post. Meanface comments will be deleted. This is about making people feel good. Don't forget to keep checking in on the post throughout the day to give love to the to the new people that pinged in!

Anonymous commenting is on (I think omg) but if you have any questions feel free to ping me on AIM at HeyJude2187

The last time we did it is here, so y'all know what it looks like.

So, who's ready for another pretty, pretty townie to join the island? Well, you're about to get your wish because Damon Salvatore ([info]eternalstud) from The Vampire Diaries is set to arrive on the island!

Yes, yes, ladies and gentleman, we're about to get another pretty vampire. Are all vampires this pretty? At least this one's not arriving with a Bella in tow! Of course, Damon would probably just laugh at her and push her in the mud.

Welcome welcome!

It's Halloween again and what better to celebrate that than candy. Lots and lots of candy. Of course, sometimes, there is candy that no one wants to eat. Candy that is left in the bottom of the bag until December in hopes it will be less disgusting.

Sometimes, candy just doesn't want to be ignored.

Tomorrow, there will be moddable oversized candies lurking about in the hopes they can trick, beg, or cajole people into eating them. What the odds of that happening are... best left up to you.

Have fuuuun!

Hello everyone! (Wow, doesn't that sound cheery.) Just a friendly reminder that anyone who wants to sign up for the trick-or-treating route has until tonight to do so! Woo!

Back to your regularily scheduled spookiness.

It's tiiiiiime once again for our sort of regularly schedule state of the characters post! I think most of you know what this means but, in case you don't: basically, what this post is for is to give the game at large an update or a summary of what's going on with each of your characters.

Come on, we all love to talk about our characters so here's your chance! Talk them up, talk about their development, things that are going on, things that you're hoping for in the future, plots that are upcoming, difficulties they're having, anything and everything!

For example: Umbridge: Sometimes, it's hard for me to play her because she's so intensive and tiring. But, she's having fun hexing students and pissing off teachers. I'm enjoying her games of give and take with Anakin and Wade, particularly. I'd love to see her thread more with Roy. She'll be leaving soon but not before a big explosive ending.


It doesn't have to be exactly like that but that's basically the gist. Feel free to reply to each other if you have thread ideas or even plot ideas. So, go forth and share!

Hide in your pantries, put away your candy corn, it's nearing Halloween again! And that means trick-or-treating. For those of you who weren't around for it last year: the morning of Saturday 31st, I'll put up a post in [info]fandomtownies with a route of businesses and town-dwellers to go trick-or-treat at. (For reference, you can find previous trick-or-treating here) Which townies?

Well, that's where you come in. Businesses and town-dwellers (of both the teacher and townie variety), drop us a comment on this post if you'd like to be on the trick-or-treating list this year! Sign-ups are a-okay until Thursday night, 12 PST, and the event will last all day Saturday.
