It's time to weetiny again! Students, teachers, and townies alike will wake up as pint-sized versions of themselves next weekend, from Friday November 13th through Sunday November 15th.

A quick reminder about how this works:

- Participation is completely optional.
- If you choose to participate, your character needs to wake up as a kid (ages 4-10) on Friday morning and stay that way the whole weekend until waking up back to normal on Monday morning.
- The kids won't be terrified to wake up in Fandom, due to the wackiness. It's more like they've always been here.
- Clothing will be shrunk down as well, and all the weapons will turn into toys so no one can hurt themselves accidentally.
- This is open to alumni and expats as well!

Time to go hunting for stock photos of small children, pics of your PB as a child actor, or screencaps from a flashback episode! Questions, comments, witty stories?

It's time for our Fall Break! We're going to Banff, Alberta, Canada from Sunday, October 25 until the morning of Halloween:

Ooooooooh. We'll be fake staying at The Fairmont Banff Springs, and all teachers, students, and townies who can convince a teacher or a student to bring them along are welcome!

PW guest apps are due today, so get yours in if you haven't already!

Parents Weekend is approaching: the one weekend every year where parents, guardians, siblings, friends, and other guest stars from the lives of Fandom's students, teachers and townies can come to the island to frolic around with their nearest and dearest's nearest and dearest! This year, we'll be running October 9th - 11th.

( More juicy copypasta here! )

Parents' Weekend apps are due Thursday, October 8th.

Questions, comments, offers of pie? Comments will be screened to keep guest stars secret if you want (and will be unscreened for questions and such). Classifieds are here!

my_own_advocate

Yes, it's FALL! And on Thursday, October 1st, that means pumpkin spiced lattes are going to flow from every faucet on the island.

And don't think you're safe when you're outside, either, because it's going to be raining candy pumpkins all day.

Enjoy this assault on your teeth (and/or your head)!

You can find them over here!

Hello Fandom! We're happy to announce that Leda (

retired_queen) is returning to the game this fall semester!

okteiviakom

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone! It's time to sign up for your Fall 2026 Classes! These sign-ups are open to EVERYONE: students, teachers, and townies. Please read the following before you start signing up:

1) Teacher and Student Class Expectations! The all important guideline for what is expected of the players in Fandom High. Please give it a once-over even if you've seen it in some form or other before - consider it a good thing to click and read while I put up the OCD!

2) Japanese characters, please sign up in the Western style - given name, then family name - to make our alphabetical OCDing easier.

The Important Stuff About Signing Up For Classes

1) Since we've removed the cap on characters, we have also removed the cap on the number of classes your characters can sign up for, but please consider your RL ability to keep up before chucking a character at every class we're offering.

2) If you're a TA for a class, you need to sign up for that class. It will count towards your minimum 2. (Not you, recent grads.) Please note TA-ship in the sign-up for easy of making the class lists accurate. Teachers: please refrain from having your own character act as the TA as it defeats the purpose of having a back-up player to post for you!

3) If it's OOC for your character to take a class but you really want to take it anyway, just sign them up and we'll pretend it was an IG paperwork mishap.

4) If you sign up, please, please try to show up. It lets the mods judge if you're still in the game and it makes the work the teachers are putting into coming up with something fun to interact with so worth it.

5) Class descriptions are subject to change at the teacher's discretion.

6) To be fair to people in all time-zones, sign-ups are not first-come, first-serve.

And now we get to what you really want to see: FALL CLASSES!

FH class sign-ups will close at 11:59pm Eastern on Sunday, September 6th, 2026.

General FYI: Feel free to make changes to your class choices as long as you do it before the deadline. We use the final pings in each thread to make the class lists, not the email notifs. Questions or difficulties, please email us - fandomhighadmins (@) iambicnut.com - or drop a question in the Questions thread down below.

~~DO NOT PING IN BEFORE I'M DONE OR YOU'RE ALL GETTING SENT RIGHT BACK HOME~~ Okay I'm done, pls go ahead and sign up.

okteiviakom

Both fall 2026 apps for students/teachers and the matching class proposals are due TOMORROW (Sunday, August 30th), so get yours in if you haven't already!

At least until next summer! Sign up for Wednesday!

Hello, island! Remember these creepy little things? Well, this Friday, they are invading Fandom at daybreak and attacking everything they can find!

Some are the size of regular troll dolls. Some are much, much bigger. They don't have magical powers, just ferocity, tenacity, and chompy teeth - I sense a rivalry with the gremlins brewing. Also, they're made entirely of non-biodegradable plastic. Ivy would be appalled.

Remaining troll dolls will vacate the island at sunset.

heroic_jawline

Yep, it's that time!

Do YOU Need This Form?

If your character is a current teacher and would like to continue teaching, or a current townie who'd like to start or return to teaching, you DO need this form. Just scroll on down and fill it out below.
If your character is an alum/expat who would be returning to the island to teach, first YAY, and second, you DO need this form. Please drop us an e-mail at fandomhighadmins@iambicnut.com to let us know you plan to bring the character back, then mosey back here to fill out the class proposal below!
If your character was dropped from the game and you'd like to bring them back as a teacher, also YAY, but you'll need to do that by submitting a character application as described here and including your class plans in that. So congratulations, you DON'T need this form!
If you are a current teacher wanting to move to townie status, just drop us an e-mail to say so; you also DON'T need this form. If your teacher is running away for good, tell us over here in the dropped character post.

What If I Want To Teach Adults At The Community Center?

We are no longer offering classes at the Community Center! If you want to teach adults, fill out this form and write that your course is only open to adults. (Bear in mind that the "adults-only" classes will be happening near the high school-aged students, though, and don't plan anything so visibly unsavory that Zoe would chuck the class off the roster and your character off the top of Selkie Peak. Inappropriate shenanigans can happen with proper OOC warnings in the class - we're all adults here even if the characters aren't - but plausible IC deniability is the key.)

What's Needed for a Class?

The ability to come up with 17 weeks worth of classes (16 + 1 exam)
The ability to post each class by noon Pacific or 3pm Eastern the day it's scheduled (you can also post the night before).
The ability to interact with your students (slow play is fine, you don't need to be around all the time).

( CLICK ME )

Your adult character's form will need to be in these comments by Sunday, August 30th for great scheduling justice! The class ideas are screened for the fun of the surprise.

Get those proposals in by tonight!

my_own_advocate

Hey folks!

Due to unforseen RL circumstances, the logistics around coordinating classes haven't quite worked out the way they usually would. In order to allow us some more time to make sure the class schedule is ready and everyone has enough time to 1) submit class proposals (due Friday!) and 2) sign up for classes, we're extending break week by another week.

That means summer semester 2 begins Monday, July 20th.

We apologize for the last-minute reshuffle. Let us know if you have any questions!

okteiviakom

It is somehow already July, time to submit some workshop proposals!

Good morning, Fandom! It's been a year or two since the dead last came back to Fandom, and obviously that can't stand.

Lo and behold, it's that time again. Sprung from a plot developed by

idontlooktired and originally conceptualized by

robinthefrog, it's Field of Dreams time from June 9th through June 14th!

( Copypasta of info overload! )

Where do I sign up?
There is an application form right down here, stolen, like much-but-not-all of this post, from our beloved

idontlooktired. (And/or our beloved

nookiepowered.)

If you're looking for someone to play a character for you, you can do so in the comments of an upcoming post.

APPLICATIONS CLOSE MONDAY JUNE 8TH AT MIDNIGHT PST!

Name of visitor journal:

Visitor one's name:
Connection to your character:

If this is a different version of a character currently in game, have you checked in with the player?:
Are there any potential issues you see with the character showing up? (These will not necessarily prevent the character from getting in, it's just nice to know in advance. Deceased FH characters should definitely be mentioned here!):

Springtime, that is! Which means, in chronological order:

1) That pesky sex pollen, from the 19th to the 24th
2) The Spring Formal on the evening of the 24th
3) AU Kids, appearing the morning of the 25th and staying until the evening of the 27th!

You have the option of having children show up at any age from 3 through 17. Alumni can get in on the action too, as kids of theirs can also find themselves coming through the portal, landing in Fandom, and giving their very surprised parents a call. Or, if they are teenagers, roll their eyes, ignore being responsible members of society, and bop around the island having their own fun. The sign-up for AU kids is up in Plotterywheel, so get your thinking caps on for brainbreaky and adorable kids/teenagers and their oh-so-necessary icons, then trot on over there to sign up before Thursday, April 23rd!

Last chance to sign up! I'm putting the lists together this afternoon!

And since we no longer have high schoolers, let me update the policy I forgot about in the last posting: If you are taking or teaching a class, you are eligible to go! Guests are also invited.

This year, we're cruising through the Greek islands in the summer because we can change the time of year if we want to do, there's two feet of snow on the ground in Ottawa, and I am FREEZING.

We're going to be 10ish people to a yacht, exploring Athens and the Saronic Islands:

Heck yeah.

So sign up here (with or without a roomie) and we'll get you sorted out before our fake trip begins on Sunday!

Hello, folks! This is your reminder that tomorrow, February 17th is Once More With Fandom! That means characters can burst out into song unexpectedly - whether they're singing already-made songs or songs of your own devising is, of course, up to you.

bigdamnprincipal

This is your Friday the 13th reminder to get those flower orders in tonight! 💮💮💮

thatsmysword

Hello, everyone!

This coming week's random event comes to you courtesy of

throughaphase: chutes and ladders! Yes, tomorrow, Fandom's many stairs suddenly transform into slides, sending everyone tumbling downhill (or trudging doggedly back upstairs) whenever they try to traverse the island.

Then, the week after that, on Tuesday February 17th, Once More With Fandom returns after a long absence! Yep, all day, your characters - if you wish - will break out into song, original or otherwise, when emotions rise to the surface.

Enjoy!

bigdamnprincipal

Good afternoon! With Valentine's Day approaching, it's time to order some flowers!

For a trip down memory lane about what the flower sale ends up looking like, see the most recent entries here. Carnations and roses are available in all colors and in any quantity.

Flowers can be sent to anyone, and can be sent from any character, including alumni and ex-pats. ICly, the flower orders will go through the Student Council (either in person or by e-mail for those who aren't local), with a note that all sales are final.

To make an order, leave a comment here (all comments will be screened) with the following information by 11:59pm Eastern on Friday, February 13th:

Feel free to leave multiple orders in one comment! The flower deliveries will happen on Valentine's Day morning (Friday). Any questions will be unscreened!

joan_of_bark

Hello, Fandom!

Hope you've enjoyed all this relative normalcy lately, because on Wednesday, February 4th, characters on-island will be (as long as you want them to, of course) compelled to speak the truth! Yep, it's Truth Day again. Go on, cause havoc.

throughaphase

I'm having A Time and I think I'm in like four meetings today, so here, have a meme we last did in July.

Pose a question (or as many as you'd like, and they don't all have to be in one comment, so you can come back later and add more if you want) to your fellow students, teachers, townies, alumni and expatriates, and they will answer them. These are IC questions and IC answers and should be truthful! They can be personal or silly. You don't have to answer all of them! Nothing counts in game, of course.

So, for example, I'd ping in with a question like 'Are you in love? If so, with who? If not, why not?' And people ping in under me and answer that question. There's no latesies on this, because of the format, so people can ping in at their leisure. And ANYONE can ask questions!

Check throughout the day to see what new stuff may have been added!

knightinshinarmor

It's possible that I am the only one who likes this meme. But I am suddenly in a meme-ing mood, which like never happens, and this is the meme I wanted to do. And per

throughaphase's fabulous spreadsheet, we haven't done this one in nearly five years!

Friends, we are due.

Anyway:

Tell us about your character's journal name, what it means and how you decided on it?

Let's gooooooo!
