Parents Weekend: September 29-October 1
How is it already Parents Weekend copypasta time?
It's that time of the year! Parents' Weekend is approaching: the one weekend every year where parents, guardians, siblings, friends, and other guest stars from the lives of Fandom's students, teachers and townies can come to the island to frolic around with their nearest and dearest's nearest and dearest! This year, we'll be running September 29th through October 1st.
How It Works:
On Friday, September 29th, we'll put up an OOC post announcing that all guest stars are cleared for entry - barring those we've contacted up front about any issues. Starting then, guests can start arriving in town, checking in at the hotel, and mingling. The school will be open all weekend, allowing teachers to be around for parent-teacher conferences, and events will be held to get everyone socialized. Come Sunday, guests can once again flee the island, leaving Fandomites everywhere to sigh in relief.
Who Can Show Up:
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 shortly be a post going up 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 DW that you be sure to list the character's name when Dreamwidth 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.
If you end up needing to choose a face-model/PB for your guest-NPCS, and you pick one that's already used for the regular day-to-day PB of an on-island character, please check in with that player and let them know. It's both a courtesy and an opportunity to plan shenanigans!
If there's a conflict, though, go with ye olde Don't Be A Jerk/Do Be A Grown-Up rule, and try to work it out like adults. Nobody owns that face except the actors we're illicitly borrowing them from, and at the end of the day, it's a time-limited event in a game. Sharing the same appearance for a few days isn't going to change your life or that of your character unless you want it to.
Parents' Weekend apps are due Wednesday, September 27th.
Questions, comments, red velvet cake? Comments will be screened to keep guest stars secret if you want (and will be unscreened for questions and such). Classifieds are here!
