AU Weekend! Yes! Again!
Yep. I'm posting this early and I'm pretty much copying and pasting from the last time this was done.
Why? Because on February 7-8th IT'S TIME TO GET ALTERNATIVE!
And no I don't mean that all the characters in FH will all start listening to indie rock and make snarky comments about any artist that becomes mainstream. You've obviously confused this post with Questionable Content.
Anywho: For that weekend only, your character will be transformed into a different version of him or herself as a result of Fandom Weirdness.
Alt-U characters can be any of the following:
An alternate universe version of your own character that occured in the character's fandom
(Ex. Buffy-> Wishverse!Buffy)
A different role that the actor who portrays your character/PB has taken
(Ex. Aravis -> Vesper Lynd)
An alternate character that is based on your character or your character is based on.
(Ex. Hamlet -> Simba from the lion king)
An actor who has portrayed the character before or after your current actor
(Ex. Hamlet -> Mel Gibson!Hamlet)
The other suggestion I have for those characters who do not have an alternate universe to draw from is to do a play on their names.
Example:
John Sheppard -> Shepherd Book.
Chuck Bass -> Chuck Bartowski
If none of the above does not work for you, you also have the option to think your characters are either from the wrong universe or the godawful Mary Sue steroptypes of themselves that show up in fanfic.
Need an example: Hermione Sue
'Nuff Said, OMG.
If you are really struggling to find a character to turn into? Ping me and I'll try to help you out.
Yes. Your character will physically transform into the Alternate Universe Persona that you chose.
Yes. Your character will remember what happened afterwards.
Yes. Worf is a sexy beast. (Just seeing if you're reading closely.)
No. You don't have to change your character if you don't want to do so. You might have more fun going "WTF?" over the changes in everyone.
And yes, this plot will be available for alumni and expatriates.
Sign-ups will be going in another post and will be due February 2nd.

Hooray for her getting out, and hooray for Chuck's writers for (eventually) giving her more to do than look hot and deliver exposition.
