Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone! It's time to sign up for your Summer 2016 Session 2 Workshops! These sign-ups are for ALL students (but not graduating seniors. Believe me, I've made that mistake many, many years in a row...)!

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.

3) PC classes are those taught by a teacher character, the things you're signing up for here, as opposed to the NPC classes, which are discussed in their own thread towards the end of this post.

The Important Stuff About Signing Up For Classes

1) Each student character MUST sign up for at least 2 PC classes. Each player may only sign up for a MAXIMUM of 8 PC classes, spread among your student characters in any way you choose, as long as each has the minimum of 2. (Yes, this means that if you only have one student, you could sign them up for 8 classes. Just think carefully about whether you have the availability to handle that.)

2) For any classes that exceed their maximum numbers:

a. If you have two characters signed up for one class, one will be ousted (so make a note of who you'd prefer to get the spot).
b. Student characters played by the teacher of the class will also get ousted.
c. Students who have already taken the same class from the same teacher will also be eliminated, so please note in your ping if you're attempting to repeat the course.
d. If the class still has too many, the Random Number Generator (RNG) will be used to determine the roster from the remaining sign-ups. If you have been RNG'd out, we will let you know as soon as possible so you can choose a second alternative.

3) If you're a TA for a class, you need to sign up for that class. It will count towards your minimum 2 / maximum 8 courses. Please note TA-ship in the sign-up, so the character won't be counted towards the class-maximum of 20 students. 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!

4) 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.

5) If you sign up, you need to show up. Class attendance is how we keep track of your character's activity. If you repeatedly fail to at least sign in to your classes, we'll have to contact you about it, and you could be asked to leave the game.

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

7) To be fair to people in all time-zones, sign-ups are not first-come, first-serve. Excess numbers in classes will be whittled down with the handy-dandy Random Number Generator (RNG).

And now we get to what you really want to see: Summer Classes!!!!

FH class sign-ups will close at 11:59pm Eastern on Thursday, June 30th. No late sign-ups will be allowed without extenuating circumstances or prior arrangements, so sign up early in case something comes up! If you don't sign up on time, you'll have to wait until the fall to play, woe.

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.

WAIT FOR THE OCD OR I'LL MAKE YOU SIT THROUGH THE FROZEN SINGALONG AT DISNEYWORLD. NO ONE DESERVES THAT. GO AHEAD.

Bubblehut Assignments!

Hey folks!

I come bearing your bubblehut assignments and Fandom Island map for the next two weeks! (Which means this post doubles as a 'btw, we're going to be on a planetoid all by ourselves instead of parking on any particular planet next week' announcement.)

Please let us know if we've made any kind of mistake with the assignments so we can go in and fix it! Further information on how bubblehut camping works can be found here; if you have any questions, please ask them below so we can answer 'em, too.

Bubblehut basics

Each bubblehut is comfortable and temperature-controlled due to the planetoid's just-the-right-side-of-summer warm rock. Each bubblehut has a small set of stairs neatly hewn into the rock leading up to it; everyone will be placed in groups of three bubblehuts with their own covelike mini-clearing to share. It houses two (2) students a piece. Each student will be given a mattress and a privacy curtain they can use to shield themselves from their roommate, though probably not the world. The planetoid has no day-night cycle to speak of, so while you are in your bubblehut, you will have 24/7, 360 degree views of THE UNIVERSE AT LARGE!

The underwater huts are accessible via a small tunnel leading into the rock from the edge of the old camping grounds, and exist in larger bubbles to block out the water. The tunnels were built by aliens now long-gone, so they, too, are comfy and temperature-conditioned. There are flashy lights. It's fun.

Electricity is available. The aliens built a robust system in the rock, and the island has been so kind as to provide each outlet with a region-appropriate plug.

Restroom facilities are in a large cave in the center of the rock and provide space for all genders to indulge their sanitary needs in peace and privacy.

Campers will move in on the 25th of June and move back out on the 10th of July. They will find a small, cheery note that says 'WELCOME CAMPERS' in alien scribble on the front of their bubblehut entrances. No one knows why, though here and there, the remains of an alien lanyard can be found.

New Townie!

Hey-o, folks! Time to give a raring applause for our newest townie (and Community Center teacher), Sterling Archer ([livejournal.com profile] sarcasm_duh)!

I'm sure he has many things to teach us.
