Upcoming: Parents Weekend
Once a year, we have a weekend where parents, guardians, siblings, friends, and other assorted guest stars can come to Fandom for the weekend to get to know where the students/townies/teachers are living, working, and going to school. Like last year, Parents Weekend is open to townies and teachers as well as to students. For those adult characters taking advantage of this, feel free to assume an invitation was mistakenly mailed to your characters' guests.
How This Works:
On Friday (October 24), an OOC post will go up saying that guest stars are cleared for entry. They can then start arriving in town, checking in, and mingling. On Saturday and Sunday, the school will be open, teachers will be available for parent-teacher conferences, and there will be several events in which everyone can socialize. The guest stars will then leave on Sunday night and things in Fandom will go back to normal. Or at least as normal as usual.
Who Can Come and Who Can Play Them:
Parents, guardians, siblings, friends, enemies, evil twins, etc. If your character has someone to come and visit them, they may very well be eligible! The way this works is that you decide which character(s) you want to come (keep it to a maximum of 3, but if you have a pressing need for more for some reason, please contact us), find someone to play them, and then submit the character and player details below. This is the only time we allow non-players to participate in a game event. It's the perfect opportunity to get your non-FH friends sucked in by getting them to participate in a one weekend event with no on-going commitment. You're also welcome to get fellow players to play guest stars for you if they have the time. If you can't find someone, there will be a post going up shortly where you can request a volunteer to help you out. Please use the upcoming post for your recruiting instead of doing it in your own journal to save your friends list from being spammed.
Signing Up:
Pick your guest star character(s), find a player for them, create a journal, and fill out the form below with the handy coding already done for you! We do ask that when you're creating your PW guest star's LJ that you be sure to list the character's name when LiveJournal asks you for a name. This tiny step is endlessly helpful to other players reading through PW posts, especially if they don't know your canon. Additionally, we recommend you put contact information such as an AIM screen name or email address of the player in your PW guest star's profile.
A notice will go up closer to Parents Weekend (PW) with more information on when you can bring the guest stars in and when their journal will be given commenting access. If there are any problems with a guest star, we'll let you know.
Questions, comments, candy corn? Comments will be screened to keep guest stars secret if you want (and will be unscreened for questions and such).
ETA: PW Apps are due in by midnight PST, Wednesday, October 22.
