Fandom High Student and Teacher Applications - Term 2, Summer Semester 2007
Applications are now open! Spread the word!
Things you all need to know:
* You have to be at least 18 years of age to apply.
* All players can have a maximum of four characters total (excluding alumni).
* We will only accept one student and one teacher per player in this application round (you can send in as many applications as you like, but only one out of the lot will be picked)
* Students are required to sign up for 2 summer workshops and at least sign into those workshops every week
* Teachers are required to teach at least 1 workshop a week (for the entire term - that's 7-8 weeks), keep an eye on your students and give the players a prompt to play off in class every week.
* All accepted characters go on probation for the term. After that time, if there's anyone who's disappeared or is being a major problem, we'll talk to them about it and possibly remove them. But it's hard to get to the removal stage.
* Fandom High is a balance between planning and improvisation. Some people plan plots, but a lot of the day-to-day stuff is purely improvisation where you throw a bunch of characters together and see what happens.
What's needed to apply:
* Make sure that the character you want to apply with isn't already here
* Fill out the respective application form (linked below!).
* Be prepared to create a journal for your character that does not and will not contain entries from other games.
* Read the Fandom High handbook. It contains all the rules/guidelines you'll need.
* Time commitment. This game is a LOT of fun, but things do happen quickly and it does require checking in a couple of times a week and throwing your character into threads wherever you find one you want.
* Language skills. Seriously, if you cannot write in complete sentences and use basic spelling and grammar people are going to want to throttle you. That being said, we don't expect perfection. This game is based on interaction and you're going to want people to be able to understand you or they won't want to interact with you.
What happens once you've applied:
Once your application has been received, we will send you an email to confirm that we got it. Applications will then be held until the application period is closed. We will sort through them and let you know whether your character has been accepted or not. Please note: if we get two or more applications for the one character, we will ask every person who applied for that character to send in a back-up in case they don't get their first pick, so have a second choice on hand!
Accepted players will be asked to create the journal for their character and to accept invitations to the game communities. New characters are allowed to start playing on a specified date during the mid-semester break. There will be a big welcome post for you all.
Notes for current players:
* If you are planning on dropping a character, please let the admins know ASAP.
* Although the prospect of apping a new character is shiny and delightful, please take into consideration whether you will be able to keep up with all of your characters. If characters are neglected, it could hamper your chances of getting new characters in the future.
