Upcoming plottiness

Hey all.

The weekend of Aug. 5-6, there will be weirdness afoot in Fandom (And what else is new?) as people wake up believing themselves to be others in the Fandom community.

People participating in the plot will wake up Saturday morning believing they are another FH character. (This is open to students, teachers and townies.)

Cue mindswap wackiness. It's up to you whether your character believes they have the wrong mind in their body, or whether they see someone else when they look at themselves.

But the twist is, it's a delusion, not actual possession. Everyone can keep writing from their usual account and OOC behavior will be understood -- e.g., if Tyler thinks he's Willow, he'll act not as Willow actually acts, but as his *perception* of Willow acts.

I hope this will allow for all kinds of crazy interactions.

Participants get two choices. You can arrange who you will believe yourselves to be OOCly, or go for a semi-random assignment, picked by me.

If you pick the second choice, I won't be able to swap people around once they're matched up. However, you will get the assignments a week before the plot starts, so you'll have time to familiarize yourself with the character you'll think you are.

The random magic of Fandom causing this will last overnight Sunday, and everyone will be back to themselves (with memories of the weekend intact) by the time workshops start Monday.

OCD threads to sign up are below. You may sign up as many characters as you wish; Signups are open through Saturday, July 29.

Question:

I will be out of town that weekend and obviously cannot participate, as Pip and Alfred will also be out of town.

Can I put Pip and Alfred up for personalities to be taken, or is this a straight-up swap only thing?

It will probably work better as a straightforward swap, but I might talk to you about this again if we have odd numbers signed up and I need an exra personality.

*nods* It's always a good idea to have an extra personality on hand. Just in case of emergencies.

So it'll start on Saturday? (In other words, Willow will still be herself that Friday night?)

...what if you're not certain how much gametime you'll have, as it may be a computer free weekend?

*totally wants John to be randomized*

I figured as much. Every time I try to sign up, I'm busy that weekend. Every time I don't, i have magical free time in spades and buckets.


SO I guess I'll just mess with people if I can get access. *does not maniacally laugh*
