Hello everyone! Are you a little cold? Or a lot cold? The weather has been a little too icy and dreary for Fandom's hemisphere, so it's time for a spring break trip somewhere warm: Barbados!

From Sunday, February 23 to Saturday, March 1, Fandom's guests will be heading to the Waves Hotel & Spa, an all-inclusive resort in the beautiful Caribbean islands.

Oooh, aaah!

Experience one of the first all-inclusive wellness boutique hotels in Barbados. Wellness is at the core of Waves Resort & Spa, which features tranquil surroundings and exceptional service, all inspired by the style of South Beach.

(And yes, there's a fitness center, you weirdos. *~*Wellness!*~*)

If you are taking or teaching a class, you are eligible to go! Guests are also invited (but if you're playing a high school student, please don't make it weird and invite an adult townie as a guest, please and thank you.) Please sign up for the fake trip by Friday, February 21st (sorry for the quick turnaround!) so I can put you into our fake rooms.

It has been a hot minute since we've gone on a fictional break! (Okay, they're all fictional breaks, but a break to a fictional location. Dang, words are hard.)

From Sunday, February 25 to Saturday, March 2, the school is going to a lovely little resort planet, Fhloston, a paradise ocean world located in the Angel Constellation. It is a popular vacation world frequented by celebrities and the wealthy, and Fandom's destination is the small, island-wide Springtime Winds Hotel and Resort.

Need a visual? We've got you covered:

Ooooh.

It's restful, it's beautiful, it's rated 5 stars on Interstellar Yelp. It's the perfect vacation spot with something for everyone, and it sure would be great if you were actually going to be able to experience it. But you know, our characters' lives. Late Sunday night, everyone is going to be woken up by a horrific crashing noise as the building trembles and the ground shakes. Is it an earthquake? A tsunami? A typhoon?

Well. No.

Their island had just been crashed into by none other than Myra the Magnificent's Intergalactic Astrotorium of Fun, a space amusement park that travels the galaxy. This isn't the first time the park has crashed into a planet, and, honestly, everyone is lucky that this time is was just an island and a mostly-uninhabited one at that-- just ask any Blorbian survivor from the ex-planet Blorb-12, obliterated when Captain Rex Nebula accidentally backed the Astrotorium over it while trying to park. And with their experience in this area, Myra knows exactly how to offer restitution for the Fandom folks: free passes to the park, three daily meal vouchers per person, and, once their current hotel finishes collapsing in on itself, free lodging in one of the Astrotorium's many hotels!

It's basically the same trip they were getting with the original resort, only now with the benefit* of amusement park rides! In summary, while the school thinks they'll be attending a beautiful tropical resort vacation on the paradise planet, Fhloston, these plans are going to fall through when a discount interstellar Disney crashes into their island instead. No fatalities! Unless you count your hope for a peaceful and relaxing vacation, in which case, RIP.

If you are taking or teaching a class, you are eligible to go! Guests are also invited (but if you're playing a high school student, please don't make it weird and invite an adult townie as a guest, please and thank you.) Please sign up for the fake trip by Friday, February 23 so I can put you into our fake rooms. Many thanks to

deathsmajesty for the suggestion and allllll of the heavy lifting/research for the upcoming trip!

(*Some exclusions may apply.)

Don't forget to sign up by Friday if your students or teachers are going!

And now we announce the reason you still keep having student and teacher characters, the semi-annual fake vacation!

This year, from Sunday, February 19 to Saturday, February 25, we're going to Nihi Sumba, Indonesia:

Oh, yeah. We're suffering.

Eco-conscious and extraordinarily beautiful, the former surfing retreat of Nihi Sumba is one of the world's best beach resorts. It's perched on a pristine, palm-fringed slice of coast on the remote island of Sumba in Indonesia. The resort nestles within a nature reserve and more than 2.5 kilometers of white-sand beach beckons beneath the cliffs below with fantastic surfing, fishing, and snorkeling. You won't find TVs here, just cool ocean breezes, island adventures, warm and friendly staff, and glorious sea views. And wifi. Because we know you'd die without wifi.

The 33 air-conditioned villas perfectly capture the essence of this tropical hideaway, with soaring thatched ceilings that peek out among the palms and sweeping ocean views. Configurations range from one to five bedrooms, and they come with features like large living rooms, private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and impeccable butler service. One luck RNGed group will also stay in a three-story treehouse. If you can tear yourself away from the villa and beach, you can go horseback riding on the beach (the resort has an equestrian center), sign up for visits to nearby villages, explore hidden waterfalls, mountain bike, take a Land Rover safari, tour a chocolate factory, or relax at the beach club and pool.

For the ultimate in pampering, embark on a day-long Spa Safari with multiple treatments and healthy meals. Free daily yoga in a sea-view pavilion will be mandatory because Anakin doesn't like to see you all enjoying yourself too much.

Please sign up for great fake-room assigning justice by Friday, February 17!

It is time, once again, to be jealous of fake people going on amazing vacations! This year from Sunday, February 20 to Saturday, February 26, we're heading back to Africa, first to the Loisaba Conservancy in Northern Kenya to sleep under the stars ~~and not get eaten~~, like so:

After a few days of elephants, rhinos, and giraffes, we'll head to Zanibar, the Manta Resort, and sleeping under the ocean ~~because we're modding enough rooms for everyone~~:

Sidon, your time has come!

Was our theme "places to take amazing naps?"

Yes, yes, it was.

Please sign up your students, teachers, and townies who've sufficiently sucked up enough to a teacher to get invited in the handy OCD by this Friday, February 18!

Helloooooooooooo Fandom! I know it's still a few weeks away, but I'm in the mood for a vacation, and I know I'm not the only one, so have your Spring Break 2021 sign-ups!

This year, we're taking a long train trip through Japan, from Osaka in the south past Tokyo and to Sapporo, Hokkaido! We take off for Osaka on Sunday, February 21st, and go home from Sapporo on Saturday, February 27th.

At some point in the middle, we'll be staying in a hotel with views like this:

So, you know. It'll be nice. As per usual, every pair of two students will be sharing one bedroom, and so will every pair of two teachers.

Except for you guys. Yeah, you know who you are.

Please sign up your teachers & students & townie guests for our trip to Boracay Island by tonight so I can put the room assignments together!

heroic_jawline

It's that time of year again! Time to be jealous of fictional characters as we send them on fabulous vacations!

This year we're heading to the White Beach on Boracay Island in the Philippines:

Poor, poor fictional characters. How they suffer.

They'll be staying at Discovery Shores Boracay (the students in one-bedroom suites, the chaperones in one-bedroom premier suites with their own private Jacuzzis) and will spend the week of March 1 - March 7 lying on the beach, eating wonderful food, partying at a club that is honest-to-God called the Area 51 Secret Party Facility, and learning to scuba, snorkel, and cliff dive.

Please sign up by Thursday, February 27 with your character's full name for ease of Excel spreadsheeting the room assignments, as well as if they have a roommate already picked out or if they are chooses the whims of the RNG!

Everyone recovered from the polar vortex? Good! It's time to pack up your imaginary parkas and fuzzy hats because this year, Fandom is going on a week-long tour of Iceland to see the Northern Lights, hike glaciers, whale watch, waterfall gawk, and reindeer meet ~~AND NOT STEAL. AHEM.~~

It'll go something like this:

"6 Day Around Iceland Tour Highlights - Iceland Ring Road Tour" (Watch on YouTube)

We'll stay at a variety of fake hotels as we drive around on our fake mini-buses and see (well, "see", and GOD I WANT TO GO TO ICELAND) the sights of Iceland in the winter.

You know you wanna go. Sign up your students, your teachers and your townies-who-bribe-a-teacher-into-coming-as-a-plus-one. Spring Break this year goes from Sunday, February 17 to Saturday, February 23. Sign ups need to be in by Friday, February 15!

Hello everyone!

This is your reminder that if your student or teacher want to go to China, they need to sign up by tomorrow over yonder!

And once we return to lovely Fandom, we'll have a couple of random events! On Wednesday, March 14, we are having a Looney Tunes Physics Day! Everyone must abide by the laws of physics according to Looney Tunes: gravity has no meaning as long as you don't look down; you can stop a gun from firing if you stick a finger in the gun barrel; if you run away from someone and not look where you are going you leave a character shaped hole in the wall; you have an Amazing Disguise if you dress in drag in order to hide, and so on! The gremlins quckly learned to deal with the new reality and will be springing completely moddable ACME-brand schemes (so. many. anvils) to try to trap people and bite them throughout the day. Thanks to Shannon for the idea! You can have a really, hilariously big mallet in thanks.

And on St. Patrick's Day, Saturday, March 17, every door you open will launch an avalanche of Lucky Charms cereal onto your head, as well as gremlins dressed super-convincingly (not really) as leprachauns (and probably still bitter than the above ACME-brand schemes didn't work...).

Ni hao, Fandom! Spring Break this year (taking place March 4-10) will take us to China!

all glory and credit to Getty Images

We'll start out at a lovely little boutique hotel very close to the Great Wall of China but still near enough to Beijing to explore the Forbidden City and the other cultural heritage sites there, too. We'll take a bullet-train riding field trip to Xi'an and the Terracotta Warriors, as well. The lovely boutique hotel doesn't believe in television (but it does believe in wifi, we aren't dealing with that level of whining), so we'll move down to Guilin (and the Shangri-La Hotel there) for a different taste of China, as well as relaxing massages, for the last couple days of the trip!

You all know the drill by now: students, teachers, and teachers' guests are cordially invited to join us! Sign up in yonder OCD and let us know if you have a roommate in mind or leave it up the the RNG! Please sign up by Friday, March 2, so we have time to sort you into your fake hotel rooms.

Hey folks!

So as you may have noticed, though the calendar says Spring Break is supposed to start this weekend, no signups have gone up. Our apologies, life came at us all fast and hard these past few weeks and we simply didn't finish planning everything out in time. That being said, everyone still gets their fictional vacation! We're just pushing it back a couple weeks to March 4-10. So classes will still need to be posted next week and look out for that signup post with the details of our destination!

Not next week, but the week after, it's SPRING BREAK! Yep, from February 19th through to the 25th, Fandom's students and teachers going on vacation again! Since we've had QUITE ENOUGH excitement this past year, we'll be going somewhere nice, tropical, and escapist. Yes, it's true: we're going to Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, for reasons that have nothing to do with clinging to the legs of people in backwards baseball caps.

Are you a student or a teacher? Want to go on a tropical vacation? Sign up down here! Sign-ups are due next Friday, February 17th. Townies and expats/alumni are allowed to come along if they're invited as a +1 by a teacher. You know the drill.

[[ sign up below! ]]

Hello, Fandom! We interrupt your regularly scheduled programme to announce our SPRING BREAK TRIP 2016! From February 21st through to February 27th, Fandom will go to a land of Might and Magic - the city of Cyseal.

What's Cyseal?
A Sizable City of Swords and Sorcery! Or, y'know, Divinity. Cyseal is ideally situated, with beautiful deep woods to the north, a gorgeous azure blue sea to the south, a mumblehauntedlighthousemumble to the west and the scenic smoking lava fields to the east. Cyseal has recently seen an uptick in undead and Orc attacks, though that problem will largely be under control while Fandom's there.

However, should any do-gooders tire of shopping at the lively market, attending plays, going on boating trips or just lounging on the beach, there will be ample opportunity to help local citizens restore their destroyed homes, help out in an attempt to exorcise that pesky lighthouse, or help the guards out on their routine patrols in the totally-not-undead-and-orc-infested woods.

Incidentally, the weather's also great, so pack for summer!

Sign-ups close next Friday, February 19th.

[[ ~~wait for the~~ ocd up! ]]

A reminder that if you would like to send your characters on our Spring Break trip to Mexico in 1978, sign up over here by Friday, February 20th!

Also, we're having an Open Forum on Saturday, February 21st, so get your amusing gifs ready!

There's no third thing so here's Chad Michael Murray getting punched in the face:

Hello, everyone! This is Your Captain speaking with news of Spring Break 2015!

Since we had such fun on a Princess Cruise six years ago, the administration has coordinated with Portalocity for another all-expenses paid trip on the Pacific Princess, cruising to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Porto Vallarta, Mexico from Sunday, February 22 until Saturday, February 28!

...with one tiny, eensy weensy oversight from the Portalocity gnomes.

Looooooooooooooove Boat

We're on the original Love Boat. In 1978. All of the delights of polyester, aggressive tanning and no cell or wifi availability (at all. All week. Commence your twitching, 21st Century students!) is here for you! Oops?

Sign up here for your stateroom, two to a berth! As always, Spring Break is open to teachers, students, and any townie/alum who can finagle an invite from a teacher. Sign up with a partner if you already have a love connection, want to force a love connection, or think it's hilarious, or trust to ~~Your Cruise Director~~ Your RNG for randomly assigned shenanigans! Please sign up by Friday, February 20th for great planning justice!

You have until Friday to sign your students and teachers up for Spring Break in beautiful Bali!

Don't miss out!

~~Metal bikinis optional.~~

Are you tired of being cold? Being wet? Living in real life winter? Well, we've got the solution for you: Fandom Spring Break! This year we're going to...drumroll, please....

BALI, INDONESIA and KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA!

Starting Sunday, February 23rd and returning Saturday, March 1, you can spend your real time (through posts we'll put up on

fh_trips) getting a fake tan on the beautiful beach of Nusa Dua:

and fake swimming at one of the FIVE POOLS at the Bali Grand Hyatt for four days before heading to Kuala Lumpur and slumming it ~~no, not really~~ at the Mandarin Oriental. Mmm, I feel better already.

As always, Spring Break vacations are open to teachers (and a guest, if they choose: townies, start sucking up now!) and students. So get your roommates in order, or sign up for Ye Olde RNG in the OCD below! Sign ups close Friday, February 21.

You have until midnight PST this Friday to sign up for our Spring Break excursion to Turkey next week. Sign up either with a partner or for the RNG over yonder.

We will be having an Open Forum this Saturday, February 23. As usual, a friends-locked post will go up in this community in the morning (Eastern time) and will be open to all current players who want to make suggestions and raise issues they think should be discussed by the player base. The open forums are a place for people to bounce ideas around and get some discussion going. All we ask is that you be polite and considerate to each other. After that we'll round up all the issues that have been raised and get to work addressing them!

There is no third, which is bothering me because I was taught that a list needs three things.

Hello, Fandom! Are you tired of bleak, cold winter? Longing for sun, sand, the wind in your hair?

Well, we can't do anything the actual weather, but we do have a fun Spring Break to send your characters on. Starting on Sunday, February 24 and returning Saturday, March 2, students, faculty and their guests are invited to come to southwestern Turkey (where it will be nice, warm, and summer, thank you, Portalocity, for your consideration) for a Blue Cruise along the Turkish Riviera via posts in

fh_trips.

Instead of one large boat, we will be traveling in groups of 10 (or 8, depending how the numbers turn out) in Turkish yachts called gulets, which is why we're doing sign-ups so far in advance (it's going to take a little more time to coordinate everyone's sleeping arrangements). Each ship will have two chaperones and 6 or 8 students to make sure ~~Ace~~ ~~Cade~~ no one drops people overboard or sets things on fire, and the daily and evening on-land excursions will take place for the entire tour group so that everyone can mingle.

It's possible to swap gulets during the daily dockings, if you've found someone to consent to switch places with you. Just let us know in advance!

Questions? Comments? Sunscreen? If not, sign up to be RNGed alone or with a partner for one of our gulets before next Friday, February 22!

It's that time again, folks. That time for spring break to take us somewhere tropical and warm where relaxation and fun can be had by all!

This stay in beautiful Rio de Janeiro will be at the Copacabana Palace, just off of one of the most beautiful beaches around.

As always, this trip will take place in

fh_trips where the admin team will make two posts a day for people to play should they want to. Non-group trips, diiiirty room posts, secluded spots on the beach or city should all go in your personal journal like always!

The rooms will be beach view with all the amenities in place! Adults and students may sign up two (2) to a room. If you have a roommate preference, please mention it in the thread below, otherwise tag in for a RNGed roommate for you! Make certain this is done by 11:59 EST Saturday, February 18th so that we can get everyone settled in with a room/roommate! The trip goes from Sunday, February 19th - Saturday, February 25th.

Note: For those participating in the body-swap event, if you are swapped with someone who will not be coming on the trip there are portals to bring you back to the island to switch places once the event is over!

I'm ready for an RP vacation anywhere there's sunshine, heat, and water nowhere near freezing. Way better than the SNOMG of this weekend. Even if I don't have to go to work tomorrow \o/ *hides*
