AU Weekend! - Revenge of the AUs

Hear ye, hear ye, another special weekend is upon us! For anyone who's been following the calendar, you've known this is coming up, but here we go...

On March 10th and 11th, Fandom Island goes Alternative!

For that weekend only, your character may be transformed into a different version of him or herself as a result of Fandom Weirdness.

To steal and mutilate from [livejournal.com profile] exactlyaverage with love but no apology, your choices for AU characters are:


  • An alternate universe version of your character that occurred within the character's own canon: Xander -> Evil Vampire Xander

  • A version of your character that was played by a different actor: Daniel Craig Bond -> Sean Connery Bond

  • The counterpart of your character from a re-imagined version of the canon: Momoko (a Japanese teenager whose codename is Blossom) from Powerpuff Girls Z -> Blossom (an American kindergartener whose real name is Blossom) from the original Powerpuff Girls

  • The counterpart of your character from a canon that's loosely based on yours, or vice versa: Romeo -> Tony from West Side Story

  • The [livejournal.com profile] fh_wishverse version of your character (only for characters who had an AU version in the original plot): these should be played out of your character's regular journal, not their wishverse journal

  • A different role that the actor (including voice actors for animated characters) who portrays your character/PB has taken: Jack Sparrow -> Edward Scissorhands

  • A character (or inanimate object if you'd like a way to sideline your kid for the weekend) who shares part or all of your character's name:
    Bo Jones -> Bo Duke
    Annie Edison -> Edison Carter
    Dahlia Mancini -> an actual dahlia flower

  • A ridiculous stereotype of your character frequently found in fanfic: Hermione -> Hermione Sue


If you are struggling to find a character to turn into, ping us and we'll try to help you out! You also always have the option of keeping your character normal so they can WTF at all of the crazy people.

Some answers to questions you didn't ask:

  • Yes! Your character will physically transform into the Alternate Universe Persona that you chose.


  • Yes! Your character will remember what happened afterward. (Though you're welcome to make those memories as clear or fuzzy as you'd like.)


  • Yes! This is open to alumni, expatriates, and characters who are temporarily off the island.


  • Yes! Those characters may come back to the island for the weekend, without it counting against their regular 5 days per month. There'll be a community event on Friday, the 9th to which everyone is invited.


  • No! They don't have to come back to the island to be affected; through Fandom's clingy, clingy love, they can go AU no matter where they're physically located.



Sign-ups will be going in another post and will be due by 11:59 p.m. PST on March 8th!

Questions you didn't ask that we didn't answer? Comments? Concerns? Storming of Barns? To be found in the attached OCD.

So, in theory, I could turn Cassidy into Butch Cassidy (a la Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?)

In theory, you most certainly could!

Hee. Because Cassidy trying to plan bank robberies and other mischief just strikes me as incredibly funny. :D

Should be Friday the 9th, yes?

I have no idea if this counts, but: could I turn Rinoa into a Sorceress / Black Mage / whatever (i.e. heavy magic user) from one of the other Final Fantasy games?

If it's a Sorceress / Mage who shares a voice- or motion-actress with her, then yes. Otherwise, sadly, that's a bit too far off our criteria.

Unfortunately, Rinoa didn't even have a voice-actress, and most of the series didn't use motion-capture except for the rare FMV. In this case I'm going to be moving down to the other thread. Thanks.

Strike that. I just hit up the one obsessive Rinoa fansite that has crazy details no one else knows, and found she did actually have a motion-capture actress, since she had to have that big waltz FMV scene and all. And it's the same motion capture person they used for another sorceress-type in another FF, which means this is back on. Merci1

I am going to end up somehow getting these DVDs.

To watch after I finish iCarly.

I think the DVD just came out, even! "Friendship Express". In the way of children's shows, they're not even remotely in order or an entire season, but, hey, ponies!
