Spring BDE: Attack of the Fans, Redux
Wayyyyy back in the dawn of time, aka Summer 2013, we had an invasion of Fandom High fans. For the last sixteen years, the radio station's signals have reached another dimension through handwavy handwavy magic stuff, and people have been watching our adventures, thinking it's just a television show that's been broadcast for their viewing pleasure. And some of the more die-hard fans have come to see Fandom in person on vacation--some are repeat offenders, even--and they will be OH. MY. GOD. SO! HAPPY! to meet all their favorite characters! (They think everyone in Fandom is a TV character. These fans are a little fuzzy on what's real and what's not sometimes.)
This will take place from Wednesday, April 27th to Sunday, May 1st.
For the first day, these fans will be available for interaction to get their squee all over your characters, annoy them by begging for pictures and spoilers and by showing them this fanfic they wrote about you, hope you don't mind it's a 200K WIP self-insert RPF! They also have to see if Summer's Jello shots are as amazing as advertised. On the second day, the fans will be gaining the ability to rewrite the "show" the way they want... which means that they'll be changing your characters' lives and situations all willy-nilly. They have Some Plans for ways to spice up graduation, too.
Things will go back to normal as of the finale on Sunday. Well. More or less.
Who's going to be playing these fans?
Well, you can! This is one of the few times you can play a non-AU kid original character at Fandom High. There will be a sign up post where you can get more info and submit a short app. Everyone is encouraged to become a fan (here's a link to the ones who caused problems last time, if you're unsure what we're looking for)! Chaos, after all, is the point.
It's happening at graduation? I wanted to bring in my senior's family!
Oh, they are absolutely still invited to show up the Friday before and will also be subject to the whims of the fans. There will be a slot for signing up your guests in the larger sign-up post.
What kinds of things are the fans allowed to do to our characters?
Pretty much anything you set your imaginations to. Remember, these people are coming in with a fan's perspective. So they can try to set up characters they want to be together (regardless of current pairing), send characters off on a bus out of town if they don't like them, set them up in an AU (so many coffee shops), turn them into a Mary Sue, whatever you feel comfortable with.
Keep in mind, these fans won't be doing anything to your characters without OOC permission.
What if I want to bring a character back?
Yay, you can! All former/dropped/retired characters are encouraged to be brought back, though you'll have to sign them up so we know who's coming.
What if I want my character killed off/sent away/put in an emocoma for four days?
That can also be done. Again, we'll ask you to sign them up for that so we know it's happening.
I have alumni and/or expats. How are they affected by this?
If your alumni are off island and you want them to stay there for the whole plot, they're not affected at all unless they talk to someone who's been changed, or who tells them about it. If you want the fans to bring them back into town randomly, you can do that too!
Will my character know their lives are being changed?
That's entirely up to you! The level of effect will be up to every individual player, and we can blame Fandom for why some people are affected and some aren't. So if, for example, the fans paired up two random characters:
--Both characters could be totally into it without realizing anything's wrong.
--Both characters could be together without having any idea how it happened.
--One could be totally into it while the other doesn't know how this happened.
How your characters react to the changes around the island is totally your decision. If you'd also like the fans to try and change your character and not have them affected by all, that's fine! Just work it out OOCly with someone playing a fan, and there's no need to sign up for that.
How will the fans know what I want from my character?
There will be a sign up post about a week from now. If you're planning to do something big (new pairings, deaths, bringing back old characters) we ask that you drop a comment in there to say what you're planning to do. This is also where you'll list graduation guests, seniors. This is so the fans can see what it is you want done and so things can be looked over by the admins in case any plots toe the line. If you want a specific fan to work their mojo, you can also work things out OOCly and preplay things, too.
Will my character remember this afterwards?
Yep! Everyone will have full memory of the events.
What if I want to keep something the fans changed?
That depends on what it is. If the fans pair up two characters and you decide you'd like to keep them together, or gave your character a job as part of a stripper AU or something, go for it! But anything that is given/taken away during the plot will go away as of Sunday. So if you made your character a millionaire, that money will be gone when the plot's done, etc.
If you have questions on whether something would be allowed, feel free to ask one of us!
I have no ideas!
That's not a question!
There'll be a place to brainstorm in this post. You can even ask for suggestions for your character in case anyone has any suggestions on what people would like to see from them.
