AU WEEKEND! 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 March 6-7th 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 occurred 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
Chuck Bartowski -> Chuck Bass

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 afterward.

Yes. Gunn 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 28th.

Questions? Comments? Concerns?

ETA: The illustrious admins have informed me that anyone who wishes to bring over their FH-Wishverse selves can do so, provided the follow the same rules for any evil characters as everybody else (Ask first before hurting people, don't burn down the town, floss after every meal etc.

Yeah, I'd say I totally didn't drop thirty bucks on DVDs in anticipation of this, except nobody would believe me. :D :D :D

Twenty-seven, actually. >.>

Your point, however, still stands.

Yes. Gunn is a sexy beast.

Do I get points for agreeing?


Hmmm...who should Karla be? I'd say even more Mary-Sueish, but then she'd just be Jaenelle.

Oh, burn!

Kaya Scodelario has TWO movies coming out March/April time... and she's been in very little else.

Hi, I spent five hours watching Baywatch: Hawaii on grainy YouTube videos.

(Totally worth it for the lulls, btw)

I'll be over here, silently thanking god that Wuthering Heights hasn't been filmed yet.

No, Heathcliff. Noooooo.

[identity profile] decoder-rings.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Even though I know it wouldn't be allowed, I so want you to do ED WESTWICK THE ~ROCKSTAR~ for your AU. With his hipster clothes and his tats and his unbrushed hair and his loafers!

[identity profile] rocksthescarf.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL. Dirty British hipster Ed would be worse than Heathcliff. Even though it'd give me an excuse to watch that TMZ vid of him yelling at Leighton drunkenly 800 more times.

I hope to turn Tully into Wolverine, will that work?

Well, I'm considering turning Raven into Raven Darkholme, but it won't be as much fun without other X-Things about. ;)

While there's no shortage of people for Leda to turn into, thanks to her PB, I had a question. There is a younger version of Leda in her canon that due to wonderfully twisty crack is pretty much a separate character. Would that work?

(hopes to have phrased this without spoiling too much.)
