BIG SIBLINGS! We're looking for some!

Big Sibling Program

New students need old volunteers to help them get settled in, right? Right. We need IC student volunteers to pair up with incoming students and help them adjust to Fandom's little quirks. (And by 'little quirks' we clearly mean 'their fellow students turning into monsters' 'sometimes the entire universe disappears' and so forth.) The idea behind this pairing is for the new student to have at least one person they can go to if they're not settling in too well and to ask questions and generally get answers that don't suck. OOCly-speaking, the big sibling's player should be available to help out the little sibling's player. Sometimes minimal help is needed as the little sibling will be a current player (or super duper fast at getting into the flow of FH) but if the player is new, you will act as their liaison and mentor while they get settled into the game. You need to be available OOCly to answer their questions, guide them in the right direction while they get used to the game, and hold their hand so they're not overwhelmed. Not literally, unless you expect to, like, stick your hand straight through the screen or something.

Buddy System

This is the teacher version of the big sibling program. The idea is that you currently play a teacher or administrator, and your character is willing to show a new teacher/faculty member the ropes of living and teaching in Fandom. ICly your character will be there to answer any questions and take the poor teacher drinking after their first week (knowing these classes, the students might need it more). OOCly, if the player is new (or new to teaching) then you'll be on hand to provide answers to their questions, help them out and generally guide them while they get used to the game and/or RP teaching.

What we need from you

Please volunteer if you fit the following:


  • Your character won't be antagonistic about helping out someone (ICly, your character can be signed up against their will, but, please don't sign up if they're not going to be helpful to a new student or teacher)

  • You have the time to field questions from a newbie, and your character will be around consistently for the first few weeks of the winter semester (for the record, newbies arrive Saturday, May 5th)

  • You're genuinely willing to help. This game is big. It can be intimidating at first. Having someone who's a friendly face in the crowd helps new players out a heck of a lot, but being assigned to someone who disappears or isn't willing to help takes a lot of the fun out of starting up.


So, after reading all that, if you think you're up to the job and you think your character will be helpful to a new student character, use the OCD threads below to sign up for the appropriate job! Please sign up in the appropriate thread of this post by 11:59 p.m. Pacific time Wednesday, April 25th if you're interested!

As always, if you have any questions you don't want to ask in the post, please contact the admins via administration@fandomhigh.net and we'll get back to you as speedily as possible!

I would love to sign Britta up to warp mold the hearts and mind of a fresh newbie!

Butters would also be up for the task if you need more people, but if the position could go to someone else, that works, too.

Petra can be a big sib if you're still short!

But if you don't need both of them, I would prefer Anna get it.

If you're still looking for big siblings, Lucrezia can be one.

You can throw Richie in the mix if you are still in need of a sibling for someone.

And Jaye does not want to be a teaching buddy so much as she wants to see if she can corrupt some poor newbie, which is basically the same thing when you really think about it.

Pinkie absolutely would love to break some newbie brains help out a new teacher!

No, really, she would love to be helpful. The brain breaking is just an unfortunate side effect of her being a pink pony.
