Newbie Shuttle!

[so_hawkward]

Hellooooo! Fandom is about to be descended upon by new folks, so that means it's time for the NEWBIE SHUTTLE.

Our local (for relative value of 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 Friday (May 11th) in the Eastern afternoon-ish time, but be set for Saturday 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 tag if you want to read previous newbie shuttle posts.

Volunteers, questions, comments?

Meme: What's in a Name?

[white_oleander]

Oooh, oooh! Invites just came through, so I can post this, and my day is starting out with being super sick but I still have to go to work, so I'm going to just jump right on this and post a meme I've been wanting to do for a while now that I had to go all the way back to March 2014 to find the last instance of, which is crazy, because it's kind of my favorite.

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

I wanted to post this specifically under Astrid because hers is incredibly dumb yet makes for an effective example. Her journal name is white_oleander because...wait for it....it's the title of her canon, White Oleander. I know, my creativity astounds me sometimes.

So let's hear yours! AU journals, AU kids, NPCs, all that stuff counts, too!
