Hey folks! Just here with your final spread of advent events.

Sunday, December 22nd: Red-nosed teal deer scatter around the island. They smell oddly of cookies and milk.
Monday, December 23rd: Gelt rains down from the sky. Bring an umbrella.

Hello, everyone! This is just to let you know that next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be a little holiday event for us, in lieu of a BDE this year!

The polar bears will set up a large tent that spans the entire park, inviting Christmas elves in to set up little booths and activities on Tuesday, December 24th and Wednesday, December 25th. There'll be cozy places to hole up with mulled wine and eggnog, but also arts and crafts classes - such as making your own snowflake decorations and building gingerbread houses.

On Thursday, December 26th, some of the booths and activities will magically disappear in order to make space for some Hanukkah-events - gelt and brisket, but also dreidel-carving and menorah crafts.

Have a cool idea for a holiday booth for any of these days? Let us know in the comments - and if you want your character to man that booth or for the admins to host it.

Happy holidays!

Time for your next set of events!

Sunday, December 15th: Buildings (non-living; Midnight can decide what it wants to be) are now gingerbread. Omnom. Eaten buildings will be fine in the morning, don't worry.
Monday, December 16th: Pushy mistletoe roams the island, attempting to bully people into kissing.
Tuesday, December 17th: All the rickshaws and Fandom wildlife are covered in (animal-friendly) fairy lights.
Wednesday, December 18th: Every screen on the island only shows the Yule Log.
Thursday, December 19th: Dreidel-betting, Fandom-style! Spinning dreidels show up across the island. Offer up some small token (or let it take a small token) and when it falls, you get a treat. What kind of treat? A random one. Could be great, could be disappointing, could be the last person's token.
Friday, December 20th: The island gets covered in ball pits. They are made of plastic Christmas ornaments.
Saturday, December 21st: The Coca Colar bears are back! And this time they're going carolling along with shoving soda at you. They will be sticking around the island from then on, though they'll be distracted by too many other activities to continue their soda-yodelling after that.

joan_of_bark

And here's the rest of your events for the week!

Wednesday, December 11th: Sentient balls of sugar roll around the island, making cute noises at everyone.
Thursday, December 12th: Every blade with an edge turns into a candy cane. Every blade. Good luck buttering that toast.
Friday, December 13th: Everyone wakes up to find their own personal snuggie, tailored to their particular tastes and preferences. Yes, you can keep it.
Saturday, December 14th: Fruitcakes stalk the island, harrassing everyone they can find.

Hey folks, sorry about the lateness and the shortness of this advent list - a personal emergency came up. For now, I will tide you over with:

Sunday, December 8th: All the birds around fandom sing Carol of the Bells. Constantly.
Monday, December 9th: The weather report shows a 100% likelihood of tinsel showers.
Tuesday, December 10th: Every tap dispenses either mulled wine or hot chocolate. Er, hope you kept some spare water ready for your shower?

joan_of_bark

'Tis the season, everyone! We will be hosting a number of advent events over the next month, and doubling down on the warm and fuzzy.

Kicking us off on Sunday, December 1st, powdered sugar snow will come down from the sky and leave a fine dusting of holiday cheer everywhere. All NPC homes and businesses will magically manifest Christmas decorations, which will stick around for the whole season.

Monday, December 2nd: Shetland ponies in sweaters migrate onto the island for a day, wandering around, attempting to eat things they shouldn't, and generally making adorable, cuddle-able nuisances of themselves.
Tuesday, December 3rd: Everyone* gets a fireplace in their house, which seems to burn all by itself without being able to light anything on fire. Each home also gets a stack of blankets, for optimal cuddling by the fire.
Wednesday, December 4th: Delicious latkes appear whenever you open a cabinet. Or a drawer, sometimes.
Thursday, December 5th: Marzipan rains from the sky!
Friday, December 6th: Tiny little white horses (we're talking fairy-sized, here) roam around the island. Maybe they're looking for sweaters?
Saturday, December 7th: All shirts turn into hideous Christmas sweaters.

* all events that apply to individuals or individual houses can be waived as not applying to your character for whatever reason you'd like.

Am I losing count? I don't know!

Monday: Every building in Fandom is now made of gingerbread! Come Tuesday morning whatever is eaten will be restored to normal along with the rest of the buildings.
Tuesday: Everybody wakes up wearing a Snuggie with a reindeer on it. Christmas hat rules apply: take it off, you get another one.
Wednesday: It's snowing gently. Whatever the snow hits, it paints a bright, festive color. Yes, even people.
Thursday: Rickshaws all around Fandom are suddenly covered in Christmas lights. As are all the birds.
Friday: Tiny flying reindeer float around town.
Saturday: Careful when you take the stairs: there are fried dough balls (oliebollen) rolling down like boulders!
Sunday: There's a giant yule goat made of straw in the park. By the end of the day, it's burning (but strangely enough does not set anything around it on fire)
CHRISTMAS: Nothing funny's going on, it's just snowing and there's edible candy canes sticking out of the ground everywhere!

suitably_heroic

Yes, this is what the island will be hitting you with next week!

Monday: Plates of latkes just... appear at random, wherever you're looking.
Tuesday: Gelt turns up in your shoes when you put them on.
Wednesday: Fandom is suddenly covered in pretty, festive candles.
Thursday: One large couch-sized jelly donut appears in every home.
Friday: Mulled wine and hot chocolate flows readily from the taps. Hope you remembered to keep some water handy for bathing!
Saturday: Weetiny snow angels wander around the island, dancing and playing.
Sunday: The various bodies of water on Fandom, including the pond, freeze over and turn into impromptu skating rinks complete with stands selling pea soup; even if you don't feel like skating, at least swing by and watch the gremlins do it all day!

suitably_heroic

Here's your slate of events for the week!

Monday: A gentle drift of powdered sugar comes down from the skies, all day long.
Tuesday: ... followed by marzipan fruit raining from the skies.
Wednesday: Whatever is left of all that rained from the sky will be eaten by roaming groups of ten-inch-tall white horses. They also like to clown around and climb on things. Enjoy.
Thursday: Everyone wakes up with a Santa hat stuck to their head. If you remove it, another one simply manifests into being.
Friday: It's everyone's favorite, pushy mistletoe! This mistletoe will follow you and whoever you're with around until you kiss. Or you burn it.
Saturday: Garlands crawl around the island like snakes, hissing and wrapping around things.
Sunday: It doesn't matter what you set your screen to. It's the yule log now.

my_own_advocate

Yes! It is the best time of the year! From today until Christmas, the island delivers a random event to your door every day. Enjoy. Or at least try to survive it.

On Friday, December 1st, we kick it off with a rousing round of Carol of the Bells! Yes, every device that can remotely make noise will play the song incessantly. Think of it as the musical version of those guys who put Doom on every device they can possibly put Doom on.

Saturday, December 2nd, the island remains in a musical mood, but now you're the one who's singing. Yes, people will burst out into Christmas carols Once More With Feeling-style - yes, that means you better don't break up with anyone or you might accidentally ruin someone's Whamageddon early.

Sunday, December 3rd, all the music has awoken the Coca Cola bears! Yes, enjoy a refreshing coke as delivered to you by friendly polar bears, who roam the island all day.

New events will be announced on Sunday.

WE ARE CRUSHING ADVENT! I mean. Here's more advent!

Monday, December 19th: Fandom's realized you all had a weird time, so everyone wakes up with a weighted blanket, a nice cup of warm cocoa, and string lights hanging off of every available rooftop.
Tuesday, December 20th: Tiny snowangels invade! These terrible small beasts leave a dusting of powdered sugar behind everywhere they go. And nothing else.
Wednesday, December 21st: The flamingoes put on an impromptu icedancing show on the pond in the Park, which lasts all afternoon.
Thursday, December 22nd: Did you know you had a ball pit? Well, now you have a ball pit, filled with plastic round Christmas ornaments. Whatever you take out of the ball pit, you can keep.
Friday, December 23rd: Continuing the trend of the island trying to make amends, small elves arrive, repairing broken things all day.
Saturday, December 24th: Around the island, ornaments appear on the trees. Each is made of clear glass, and if you look inside, you see a single image of a happy time in your life, still to come.
Sunday, December 25th: Cake for every person, a fireplace for every home, a small but useful gift on every mantle, the air smells of cinnamon, and it snows gently outside.

FANDOM ADVENT STOPS FOR NO MAN! Or timelord. Ahem. Here's what's on the schedule for this coming week!

Monday, December 12th - Every building is now made of gingerbread. Enjoy. (They will return to their normal, non-eaten bricky selves come the next day.)
Tuesday, December 13th - Everyone's favorite (except for the people on the island's): pushy mistletoe is back! Mistletoe will creep towards any two (or more, we don't discriminate here) characters to harass them until they kiss.
Wednesday, December 14th - Beanie Babies were the gift of 1995. So have fun being stalked by Beanie Babies from the Class of 1995. They don't move. But they do teleport, the second you look away from them, and like to reappear somewhere they can freak you out most.
Thursday, December 15th - It's snowing special snowflakes! If one of these touches you, you think you're the most amazingest, specialest person who deserves the bestest treatment ever in the world for half an hour. We're sure this won't cause any problems.
Friday, December 16th - Fandom is offering you mood lighting: lit candles will pop up all around the island, mysteriously not setting fire to anything at all.
Saturday, December 17th - WHAM! ... plays across everywhere the island, including in places with no noticable stereo at all. The island is considerate, though: rather than That Song, it's 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go'. Enjoy.
Sunday, December 18th - The island continues to be a little confused, as it leaves gelt in drawers, puts latkes in every kitchen, and leaves doughnuts in everyone's shoes. Whoops.

my_own_advocate

Hello, folks! Hope you're having a good Saint Nicholas Day today or tomorrow. (Do we have any Belgians left? It's tomorrow. Anyway.) Here's your list of Advent Events for the next few days...

Monday, December 5th: It rains bits of marzipan, shaped like fruit. Yes, that's a thing in some places.
Tuesday, December 6th: Gremlins go door to door, singing carols! Aw, how adorable. (Don't let one bite you.)
Wednesday, December 7th: It doesn't matter what you set your TV to, all you can watch today is the Yule Log.
Thursday, December 8th: As is their habit, the Coca Cola Polar Bears (tm) visit our fine island to hang out bottles of Coke. Away with ye, Pepsi!
Friday, December 9th: Behind every door you open sits a whole pile of cookies. Nom.
Saturday, December 10th: Okay, it's been a week since the Christmas Rager. Surely some of you have been drinking again. So adorable small Hangover Elves will be visiting your homes, leaving hangover cures, painkillers and glasses of water behind. Aw. Thank you, guys!
Sunday, December 11th: Aw, you all lover this one. It's Santa Hat Day! Everyone wakes up wearing a Santa Hat, and if you remove it, another one just appears in its place. Can I keep them? Sure! Shine on, you crazy diamonds!

my_own_advocate

Hey-o, folks! December fast approaches (oh god) and thus, advent is in the air! As always, the island will be celebrating the run-up to Christmas by absolutely smothering you all in whimsy. Sorry. Or you're welcome. Pick one.

This week, we have--

Thursday, December 1st - The island announces the beginning of advent with its lovable tradition: egg nog coming from the taps! For those who are not of the alcoholic persuasion and/or minors, it will thoughtfully provide caramel hot chocolate instead. For the real gluttons, it will alternate.
Friday, December 2nd - Tangly tinsel from above! Yes, all Fandom's ceilings will be covered in tinsel, which somehow always manages to get caught in your hair. D'oh.
Saturday, December 3rd - A large sentient snowman - think about two stories tall - will come to life in the center of the park, offering good tidings and covering the park in a thick layer of snow. For making snow angels, snowballs, and snow men, obviously! The snowman won't melt as it departs at midnight, but fly off into the sky. Reverse-snowing, so to speak.
Sunday, December 4th - Tiny white horses flood the town, walking on top of things, like silly equine cats.

my_own_advocate

Because we still have one or two left to go...

Wednesday, December 22nd: Tiny elves wander around the island, fixing broken things.
Thursday, December 23rd: Somewhere, SOMETHING is playing 'Feliz Navidad' VERY LOUDLY.
Friday, December 24th and December 25th: A gentle powdered sugar snow drifts over the island. Bright, atmosphering star lights hang everywhere, fire-safe fireplaces pop up in every home, and a strange feeling of warmth and goodness permeates the air.

my_own_advocate

Yes, we still do these in BDE week.

Tuesday, December 14th: Candles in your window. In holders. Single candles decked in ivy, or fully-lit menorahs, your choice. The menorahs re-light if someone (or the wind) tries to blow them out.
Wednesday, December 15th: Gremlins dress up as reindeer and go from door to door, hurling fake red noses at whoever answers.
Thursday, December 16th: Every audio player on the island keeps playing Carol of the Bells. Yes, including your AirPods.
And we open BDE day Friday, December 17th with a nice thick coating of marshmallow snow coming down in the first few hours. Which will, of course, repeat until Monday.

my_own_advocate

It's still time for the holidays in Fandom, and that means some communal weirdness for the rest of the week! Here's your Fandom advent events for the coming days:

Tuesday, December 7th - Everyone wakes up with a Santa hat on. Take it off? There's another Santa hat.
Wednesday, December 8th - Eggnog - or cocoa, if you're in the dorms - flows from the taps. Hope you didn't need that shower this morning!
Thursday, December 9th - Every screen will only display the Yule Log.
Friday, December 10th - Pushy mistletoe floats around the ceilings of Fandom. Are you speaking to another sentient being? Be prepared for the mistletoe to try and bully you into kissing them.
Saturday, December 11th - The pond freezes over and penguins perform nice dancing and singing routines all day.
Sunday, December 12th - All the NPC rickshaws are decorated with lights and garlands in a very over-the-top way.
Monday, December 13th - The island is invaded by adorable chickens in capes.

my_own_advocate

Hello, Fandom! December is back upon us, and you know what that means:

Fandom's going to start counting down for Christmas! Yep, one event, every day, until we're all passed out on a post-Christmas food buzz!

... or working because you're a freelancer and this is prime fill-in-for-easy-money season. ANYHOW. Here's your list of advent events for the first week of December!

Wednesday, December 1st: In every house, a cute doll appears. Maybe it's a fluffy cat, or an adorable reindeer. And they sing such adorable songs! ... Until you run them through Google Translate. Oof. That is, um. Quite some not-so-child-friendly material in Polish/Greek/Aramaic/insert-language-your-character-doesn't-know here...
Thursday, December 2nd: As always, the Coca Cola polar bears are coming to the island to bring all of you refreshing glass bottles of soda! Just don't try to feed any of them Pepsi, or they'll get rowdy.
Friday, December 3rd: Puffballs made of powdered sugar roll around the island, humming happy tunes and babbling happily in their weird, powdered sugar puffball language. They leave a fine spread of powdered sugar behind.
Saturday, December 4th: Everything seems fine? Except there's cookies and milk in every living- and common room across the island. Enjoy!
Sunday, December 5th: Fruit-shaped marzipan drizzles down on the island all day. Bring an umbrella.
Monday, December 6th: Tiny white horses invade the island, climbing on things and demanding a tribute of carrots and turnips.

See you next week for another advent update!

weirderthanthou

Hello, Fandom!

We're here to announce your Winter BDE 2020! It'll run from December 14th to December 19th. And we're not telling you what it is. Yet. Let's just say the island will be a moderately chaotic place losing its mind to holiday bliss in a slightly different way than usual. ... and last year.

What we are telling you is that we'll need a team of crack scientists and magicians to go camp out at Town Hall, or poke around their own workspaces to unveil, study and destroy a device causing havoc on the island. And we're also going to need a bunch of volunteers who are willing to fight something really big and fuzzy while they work on Saturday the 19th.

Everything else? Well, you'll find out next Saturday.

Now, here's your Fandom Advent for the week...

Monday, December 7th - One single rickshaw is covered in Christmas lights and chugs slowly through the streets.
Tuesday, December 8th - You wake up and there's a cookie on your pillow.
Wednesday, December 9th - Someone has left discarded Santa hats in your closet. They disappear when you try to put them on.
Thursday, December 10th - A reindeer is squatting on your roof. It won't leave. (Until the next day, of course.)
Friday, December 11th - Nothing seems to be happening? Except when you listen very carefully, something in your kitchen seems to be gently humming 'Carol of the Bells'.
Saturday, December 12th - Today's weather report predicts a small sprinkling of chocolate in the early afternoon.
Sunday, December 13th - Is that mulled wine coming out of your tap, or just bad grape soda? It tastes like bad grape soda.

weirderthanthou

TIS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN!

... yes, welcome to the advent, starting tomorrow, December 1st.

Here's what's on schedule for the week:

Tuesday, December 1st: Coca Cola polar bears turn up on the island to ring in December with refreshing sodas to hand out to all.
Wednesday, December 2nd: Tinsel falls down from the heavens. Some of it will disappear. Some of it won't.
Thursday, December 3rd: Pushy mistletoe is early this year, roaming around stalking people until they make out.
Friday, December 4th: Hope you like eggnog, because it's coming out of the pipes!
Saturday, December 5th: Tiny horses clop around the island, delivering gifts of marzipan.
Sunday, December 6th: Bands of gremlin carolers go from door to door, singing their mangled Christmas tunes. They won't bite. Probably.

rebelseekspizza

... are here because I'm an idiot.

cypher_can_fly

Monday, December 16th: Gremlin caroling! Yes, bands of gremlins will be going door to door singing their own, ah, creative renditions of Christmas carols.
Tuesday, December 17th: The taps are dangerous once again, as they run with eggnog! Or non-alcoholic eggnog, depending on how the island feels about you drinking.
Wednesday, December 18th: Every television show on TV has its cast mysteriously replaced with Santa Claus, his wife and their many reindeer and elves.
Thursday, December 19th: Pointing at something? Oops, your finger's now got a chocolate wreath on it.
Friday, December 20th: PUSHY MISTLETOE! It will follow around anyone in a room with someone else and harass them until they make out or leave.
Saturday, December 21st: Was there a candle there before? Well, there is now. Everywhere. Except for where it's a fire hazard.
Sunday, December 22nd: Watch out: the weather report says there's a risk of marshmallow hail and chocolate sauce rain today.

Besides some later-to-be-annoucned events, on Christmas day and Boxing Day, a cologne-related mishap will lead to the island temporarily moving... to Cologne. A small time-warp incident will leave the island sitting in the Rhine in the days leading up to Christmas day, so everyone can enjoy the famous Cologne Christmas markets. Enjoy!

cypher_can_fly

Hello, guys! Here we are again with a range of Fandom Advent events!

Monday, December 9th: Everyone wakes up with a Santa hat! If you take it off, you've got another Santa hat. Yes, you can keep them.
Tuesday, December 10th: Open up the taps for warm water, gluhwein (German mulled wine) pours out instead. Oops? If you're a minor or you don't drink, it's non-alcoholic. Otherwise, uh, better time your tap-drinking wisely.
Wednesday, December 11th: Special snowflakes descend upon the island. If they touch you, you will, for a brief period of time, suddenly believe you are the center of the universe/the movie of your life and everything you do is totes awesome forever.
Thursday, December 12th: All bread is now flat.
Friday, December 13th: You can't turn a corner without hearing 'Carol of the Bells'. Hide!
Saturday, December 14th: All rickshaws are now pulled by reindeer, and full of Christmas lights.
Sunday, December 15th: Everyone's window suddenly has a candle in it. Or multiple candles. Go wild. Just don't set anything on fire!

- Friday, December 6th: Every shoe gets filled up with candy the second you leave it anywhere. Better watch out where you put your feet.
- Saturday, December 7th: It doesn't matter what TV show you try to put on. It doesn't even matter if it's Netflix. Whatever it is, it's now the Yule Log. Sorry.
- Sunday, December 8th: A large snowman appears in the park, singing Christmas carols to everyone who passes by.

Also, at Christmas, the island is taking a holiday for two days! ... We'll fill you in on the details closer to the date.

Saturday, 23 Every house and dorm room gets a ball pit. Full of round, plastic Christmas ornaments.

rebelseekspizza

To celebrate the end of the BDE, we return to your previously scheduled advent: today, it will be snowing chocolate sprinkles, gremlins will be going door to door singing carols, and everyone finds one (1) complimentary Christmas drink of their preference sitting, improbably, right under their pillow this morning.

rebelseekspizza

Incoming BDE or not, the island's still busy amusing itself. Here's what's coming up:

Friday, December 8 - Santa hats stuck to everyone's head. Take it off, there's another one there.
Saturday, December 9 - It's our old friends, the Coca Cola bears! These polar bears will wander around the island, offering you a nice, refreshing beverage.

rebelseekspizza

Hello, island! December is almost upon us, and with it comes the FANDOM ADVENT CALENDAR! Yes, the island will be torturing you with holiday events up until Christmas. Enjoy.

Friday, December 1st The advent will announce itself gently this time, with a pretty drift of powdered sugar blowing through the island all day.
Saturday, December 2nd, the island will be invaded by sentient stuffed toy reindeers. Adorable.
Sunday, December 3rd Thanks to a slight postal mishap, Christmas cards will drop early above town. They're pretty cards, and offer messages from loved ones you might not have seen in a while.
Monday, December 4th What's a better way to start off the working week than a flow of mulled wine from the taps? (It's warm grape juice in the dorms.)
Tuesday, December 5th Marzipan fruit will rain down from the sky.
Wednesday, December 6th Every shoe will have candy in it. Every one.
Thursday, December 7th Everything that makes noise plays Carol of the Bells.

Alas, our time with advent is coming to an end. But we still have a few things for you...

Friday, December 23rd: An overwhelming scent of cookies will drift over the island, just for the day.
Saturday, December 24th: Every time you open a tap... ...it starts playing 'Jingle Bells'.
Sunday, December 25th: Merry Christmas! Everyone gets a cake, fireplaces in their room, and a small gift on the mantle. The gift can't have a high monetary value, but it could have a high emotional one: lost a trinket from your dead mom back home? It's there. Your favorite food that you haven't eaten in ten years? There.

suitably_heroic

And thus we continue with our next list of events!

Sunday, December 18th - All shirts turn into ugly Christmas sweaters. Sorry, guys.
Monday, December 19th - All buildings are now made out of gingerbread. All bites taken out of buildings will be restored to normal the next day, but try not to create a draft?
Tuesday, December 20th - The migratory Pushy Mistletoe is back in town! It will randomly appear when two people are in the same area, and hound them until they kiss. Or they destroy the mistletoe.
Wednesday, December 21st - Gremlins are picking up their books of carols again to go door to door to sing for people!
Thursday, December 22nd - Tiny reindeer will take to the sky, flying about.

With the island recovering, Fandom Advent's kicking back in! Which means...

Wednesday, December 14th: Marshmallow snow blizzard! Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Thursday, December 15th: Christmas music will start playing everywhere from a mysterious source. Except it's not regular Christmas music. It's surf rock covers. Awww yeah, dude.
Friday, December 16th: The chickens in capes are back! And festive. They'll be running all over the island.
Saturday, December 17th: Opening a tap will now produce either hot or cold Gluhwein. You're welcome, Fandom.

Friday, December 2nd: Strands of Christmas lights will be slithering across the island like snakes, lighting your way. (They don't bite.)

Sunday, December 4th: Every common room will come equipped with cookies and milk for the hungry.
Monday, December 5th: It will rain fruit-shaped marzipan all over the island. Mmmm.
Tuesday, December 6th: You will find tiny presents at random. Every package is the size of a Funko Pop or smaller. What they contain? That's up to you, but don't go too big - these gifts aren't.

Hey folks! Just a few advent events this week, as the eeeeeevil ghosts will usurp Christmas by Friday. (Get in your sign-ups before the end of Tuesday!)

Tuesday, December 15th, the Twelve Days of Christmas become the Twenty-Four Hours Of December 15th! Every two hours, something new happens: starting with the appearance of a partridge in a tree in the park at midnight on the 14th. It'll be joined there two hours later by two turtle doves. Three French Hens will appear at the foot of the tree two hours later. And so forth. At midnight on the 15th, a drumming section will join the rest in the park and the whole mob will play a few (loud!) Christmas carols before disappearing into the night.
Wednesday, December 16th, adorable small chickens in capes will be running around on island, brightening everyone's day and maybe leaving a few deviled eggs behind wherever they go.
Thursday, December 17th, it's the return of aggressive mistletoe! This mistletoe will be everywhere, loudly chasing couples (or threesomes - we're not judging - or friends with UST, or...) around until they make out.

Yep, we're already approaching the second week of December, god help us, so here's your advent, folks!

Tuesday, December 8th - Ugly holiday sweaters for all. No, you can't take them off.
Wednesday, December 9th - All radios and anything else with speakers play Olde Familiar Carols, but they're all in Pig Latin.
Thursday, December 10th - All hot water taps dispense peppermint mocha; all cold water taps dispense eggnog. Sorry, anybody who wanted to shower today.
Friday, December 11th - Plates full of latkes appear randomly sometimes when you perform any kind of action!
Saturday, December 12th - It's Snuggie Day again! Everyone gets a snuggie! Except they're all either reindeer or penguins. Hope you like that Christmas animal cheer!
Sunday, December 13th - Candles on your heeeeead. In wreathes. They will neither light anything else on fire, nor fall off.
Monday, December 14th - Candles in your window. In holders. Single candles decked in ivy, or fully-lit menorahs, your choice. The menorahs re-light if someone (or the wind) tries to blow them out.

Indeed, December is upon us, and with it, the island's peculiar sense of holiday cheer! Here's the random events you can expect for the first week of December. Classics galore!

Tuesday, December 1st - Behind every door you open, you'll find a pile of cookies! Any flavor, any style.
Wednesday, December 2nd - Everyone will wake up with a Santa hat on. Taking off the Santa hat will just cause another to materialize.
Thursday, December 3rd - Friendly polar bears will roam the island, handing out free Coca Cola. Mmm, product placement.
Friday, December 4th - Every light on the island will turn into a string of colored Christmas lights.
Saturday, December 5th - Marzipan will rain from the sky, fashioned like vegetables, sausage and, occasionally, Angry Birds. (They're not alive, we promise.)
Sunday, December 6th - Tiny white horses will appear all over the island, about the size of a cat. They prefer walking on high places, especially rooftops, and they're friendly.
Monday, December 7th - TINSEL SHOWERS! Yep, tinsel will rain on the sky. Festive!

We'll be back next week with the next set of advent events!

Hello, folks! This is your third and final Fandom Advent post of the season! Here's what we have in store for you this week:

Sunday, December 21st, we'll be invaded by bondage garland! Yep, these strands of tinsel love nothing more than wrapping around you like you're a tree. Whoops?
Monday, December 22nd, the island will be treated to a blast of creepy carols from Ingvar.
Tuesday, December 23rd, is the coming of Christmas Past! All round metal christmas ornaments will show you reflections of Fandom Christmases Past. (Either personal memories, things which another player has given you permission to witness, or stuff that happened publically and was reported on radio)
Wednesday, December 24st, the ornaments turn to Christmas Future. They will show you reflections of scenes from a possible future Christmas for your character.
Thursday, December 25th, we finish up with Christmas Present! Or, well. A Christmas present. From Fandom. Wrapped and on your bed. Some object (small enugh to fit on your bed) that you've either always wanted or didn't realize you needed, but it's perfect. Even those off-island.

Merry nearly Christmas, everyone!

Hello, all! Welcome back for another ADVENT SPECIAL! (okay, okay, tone it down a bit, self.)

Here's what we've got for you this week:

Sunday, December 14th all the rickshaws will be Christmassed up with lights and bells, zooming across the island!
Monday, December 15th, the island will be invaded by a small army of chickens in capes. They're nice! ...Ish. They will try to steal food from your mouth and climb onto your shoulders.
Tuesday, December 16th, we revisit Snow Paints You! Yep, snow will come falling from the heavens, and if it hits you, it dyes that spot on you a funky color for the day.
Wednesday, December 17th, opening any door will reveal a chocolate. Sometimes lots of chocolates. Be careful.
Thursday, December 18th, the caroling gremlins are back! ... but a group of caroling squirrels also wants in on the action! Expect not just door-to-door caroling duels, but maybe the odd bit of Jets vs. Sharks posturing.
Friday, December 19th, sees everyone wake up with a Christmas hat. Removing it just makes a new one appear.
Saturday, December 20th, weetiny elves will show up and fix everything. Everything. Maybe even things you don't want fixed.

Stay tuned for next week as we hit our rollicking Christmas conclusion!

We interrupt your previously scheduled BDE for a quick update: Fandom Advent is returning to town as soon as the ghosties have gone!

That means that on Sunday, December 7th Fandom Island is going to mom the hell out of everyone in the wake of the BDE with powdered sugar snow, little mulled wine fountains popping up everywhere, and everyone finding themselves waking up in a nice, warm, ugly sweater!

After that...

Monday, December 8th will see the return of special snowflakes, snowflakes that fall down from the sky and fill anyone they touch with the brief, overpowering feeling that they are the specialest snowflake that ever lived.
Tuesday, December 9th every television will broadcast nothing but the Yule Log.
Wednesday, December 10th polar bears will be roaming the island, offering everyone a taste of a nice bottle of Coca Cola.
Thursday, December 11th is Snuggie Day! Yep, you get a snuggie. And YOU get a snuggie. And YOU get a snuggie. Everyone gets a snuggie!
Friday, December 12th will see candles popping up everywhere on island for no reason at all.
Saturday, December 13th everyone's pillows turn to cotton candy. So... form an orderly line in front of the showers, guys.

And that's it! Stay tuned for the next update next weekend!

Advent is winding down to a close with Christmas approaching, so here's your last couple of events!

Today, December 23rd it's going to rain chocolate coins as a belated Hanukkah gift. Thought you'd seen the last of it for the year, huh... (<3

dollpocalypse)
Tomorrow, December 24th every rickshaw turns into a reindeer-pulled sled. With tons of lights. Even if you're not going anywhere, you're going to be able to enjoy the sight of them running through the streets!

And then on Christmas, it's going to snow. Why? Because we said so.

endsthegame

Hello, all! With our BDE concluded, it's time to get back to the Fandom Advent!

Today, December 16th everyone will wake up with reindeer hooves and antlers. Oops. Awkward.
Tomorrow, December 17th it will rain hot chocolate and marshmallows! Well, warm-ish chocolate. The island doesn't want anyone to get burned.
Wednesday, December 18th Special Snowflakes will rain down. Anyone touched by such a snowflake will, for a brief period of time, suddenly believe they are the center of the universe/the movie of their life and everything they do is totes awesome forever. Feel free to play with it as you wish. (Idea by Ang, as re-brought to our attention by

amthenight)
Thursday, December 19th the Coca Cola polar bears will return! Yep, friendly polar bears will flood the island, offering everyone a refreshing drink of Coca Cola.
Friday, December 20th all the bread will go flat. Flat bread. Everywhere.
Saturday, December 21st the pushy mistletoe returns! This time in a slightly different format, as it will violently attach itself to a person and refuse to let go until they kiss someone - or midnight strikes. (Again, thanks to

amthenight!)
Sunday, December 22nd plates of mushy pea soup will appear everywhere. You better eat it.

endsthegame

With the BDE on the horizon, the island's going to have more important things to deal with than raining oddities onto your heads - but before Hyperion lets everything get out of hand, there's a couple of other things going on!

Tomorrow, December 8th adorable sentient furry puffballs made of powdered sugar and twigs are going to wander around spreading the love! And the sugar.
Monday, December 9th tinsel is going to rain down from above, no doubt to the delight of Hyperion.

Hello, everyone! It's December oncemore, and that means Fandom is lapsing back into its yearly tradition of counting down to Christmas!

Here's what you can expect from the island over the next seven days:

Today, December 1st everyone wakes up wearing mittens. Removing them just pops 'em back on. Whoops.
Tomorrow, December 2nd people both PC and NPC will randomly burst out into Christmas carols when they least expect it. That'll make the laundry interesting...
Tuesday, December 3rd a flock of tiny white horses will show up, climbing all over the rooftops and invading your living rooms! Be sure to feed 'em some carrots.
Wednesday, December 4th everyone turns the colors of Santa hats. Red and white and ho ho ho!
Thursday, December 5th marzipan will rain from the sky. Enjoy!
Friday, December 6th the floor beneath your feet could randomly turn into a piece of ice rink. Walk carefully. Or bring skates.
Saturday, December 7th the taps will flow with mulled wine. Non-alcoholic option available in the dorms!
