throughaphaseHello, all! I passed a very loud back to school section in Target yesterday which means summer is winding down. To make sure we're all getting the most of it, from Tuesday, August 6 until Tuesday, August 12, Fandom is taking everybody on a road trip! Welcome to a very chill BDE!
That's right, the island is moving again, this time across the famed Route 66 (with a stop in West Virginia because you have to get to Route 66). Every day the island will move to a different state, with the scenery changing, and some of the location's affectations/traditions/places/popular things becoming part of Fandom for the day. You'll even be able to venture into the surrounding towns. At the end of the week we'll end in sunny California, where….
…Well, okay, a multiversal nexus moving across the country in this case awakens some things, and so giant road stop attractions will follow the island across the country the whole time. Think Paul Bunyan, Giant Santa Clauses, the world's largest fork, etc. They'll catch up in California, where the denizens of Fandom get to just have the most ridiculous fights. Once they're defeated, Fandom will zap itself back home safely.
I'll put up a post every night CST listing the next day's changes to the island, but I need your help! You all might know some of these places, so this is going to be a brainstorming post in case there's anything you want to add, or if there's a roadside attraction you think we need. (Of course the giant ball of twine is covered, who do you think I am?)
