Show us your samples!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

It's been a while since we've done this one and just recently someone showed me her sample for an app that reminded me of this meme.

So because it's Wednesday. Because it's raining. And because I've got a boring day ahead of me:

SHOW US THE WRITING SAMPLES YOU WROTE FOR YOUR CHARACTER APPLICATIONS!

Yes. That totally deserved capslock

Birthday List - July + Master List

[tyler_gone]

Hi.

Most of you know what this is, but for the newbies: a long time ago, when the game was young, I started keeping up a list of IC birthdays for the purposes of great OCD. It gets posted on the first of every month, give or take, and the master list is reposted at the start of each semester. They're based on canon, actor birthdates, astrology, throwing darts at the calendar, and anything else that works OOC and IC. This isn't written in stone -- if you have a live canon and get Jossed on a birthday, it can be changed on the list.

The list is of character birthdays, but it's for OOC knowledge; birthdays aren't announced within the game without player permission.

Got it? Good. Comment with your character's birthday to be added.

(Also: Happy birthday Sookie!)

Newbie Shuttle!

[likethegun]

Newbie time is almost upon us (eeeee!) and that means it's almost time for the newbie shuttle! To steal borrow the explanation from the lovely wantstodirect:

Our local airport (BWI) has a Portalocity (interdimensional travel service) port and lounge. Students can arrive by either plane or portal and gather in the lounge until a bus from Fandom shows up to take them to the island. This is completely optional; your new characters are still welcome to arrive on the island in any manner you choose.

What we need: One new student character to put up the post and OCD, and at least one teacher or adult to drive the bus and greet the students. Traumatizing them before they reach the island is optional. The post should be made Thursday night sometime between 4pm-6pm Eastern, but be set for Friday morning (before the picnic).

Newly arriving students are welcome to join the post and get to know a few of their fellow newbies before actually getting to the island. New teachers are welcome to grab a lift as well. Check out the links above if you want to read previous newbie shuttle posts.

Questions? Volunteers?

brand new pretty things!

As we announced earlier, the sixth floor of the dorms was renovated and completely redone. Now that the job's complete you are free to use any of the new attractions described in that post. As a reminder, the sixth floor now contains: full dining room with attached kitchen, a full dance floor with a pole and a disco ball, a ballpit, an art studio, and a padded room.  Tags have been created and you're free to use these establishments as you would a common room in the fandomhighdorms comm (save for the padded room).

So, go forth and enjoy your new sixth floor!
