saltandammo.livejournal.comSo this coming weekend, July 11-12th, the island is going to be hit by what I like to call the Velveteen Rabbit effect.
The Velveteen Rabbit is a story told from the pov of stuffed animals and is all about how, if a child really really loves you, you become real. This is pretty much what's going to happen on the island this coming weekend -- any inanimate object that is loved and valued by the people of Fandom will become human.
ie. Dean loves his 1967 impala; this weekend, the impala will be a hot woman. (Since she's a hot car.) A jedi values their lightsaber, it could turn into a guy with electric blue hair. It could be anything really, as long as it is loved by someone -- a piece of clothing (ie Chuck's scarf),a piece of jewelry, a weapon, a technological device (I mean we all love our computers, right?), a book, a stuffed animal like in the original story. Anything that is not actually alive but that your character loves can be affected.
If you don't want your objects to turn human for a weekend, that's fine. The island is often capricious to what gets affected and what doesn't. Or maybe your character just doesn't love any object enough for it to change. It's all good.
Standard OOC communication expectation regarding any aggressive or ah, overly frisky actions will apply with the temporarily human objects just as they do with normal characters.
The change will happen sometime in the wee hours of Saturday morning and everything will change back late Sunday night.
Questions? Ideas for potential objects coming alive you want to see? Pie?
