AU Weekend! (With a Bonus!)
It's so much easier to copypasta when you're stealing from yourself!
Hey folks, it's time once again for Fandom Island to go Alternative! On November 8th and 9th, your character may be transformed into a different version of themselves as a result of Fandom weirdness!
To borrow lovingly from multi_madrox, your choices for AU characters are:
If you're struggling to find a character to turn into, ping us and we'll try to help you out! You also always have the option of keeping your character normal so they can WTF at all of the crazy people.
Answers to previous FAQ:
Sign-ups will be going in another post and will be due by 11:59 PM Pacific on November 6th!
Important note for this time around: Fandom is also going to be hit with Once More With Feeling Fandom on November 9th and 10th. That means AU funtimes and singing funtimes on Sunday, November 9th. And then everyone will go back to normal on Monday... except there will still be singing. THANKS, ISLAND.

To borrow lovingly from multi_madrox, your choices for AU characters are:
- An alternate universe version of your character that occurred within the character's own canon: Xander -> Evil Vampire Xander
- A version of your character that was played by a different actor: Daniel Craig Bond -> Sean Connery Bond
- The counterpart of your character from a re-imagined version of the canon: Momoko (a Japanese teenager whose codename is Blossom) from Powerpuff Girls Z -> Blossom (an American kindergartener whose real name is Blossom) from the original Powerpuff Girls
- The counterpart of your character from a canon that's loosely based on yours, or vice versa: Romeo -> Tony from West Side Story
- The fh_wishverse version of your character (only for characters who had an AU version in the original plot): these should be played out of your character's regular journal, not their wishverse journal
- A different role that the actor (including voice actors for animated characters) who portrays your character/PB has taken: Jack Sparrow -> Edward Scissorhands
- A character (or inanimate object if you'd like a way to sideline your kid for the weekend) who shares part or all of your character's name:
Bo Jones -> Bo Duke
Annie Edison -> Edison Carter
Dahlia Mancini -> an actual dahlia flower - A ridiculous stereotype of your character frequently found in fanfic: Hermione -> Hermione Sue

Answers to previous FAQ:
- Yes! Your character will physically transform into the Alternate Universe Persona that you choose.
- Yes! Your character will remember what happened afterward. (Though you're welcome to make those memories as clear or fuzzy as you'd like.)
- Yes! This is open to alumni and expatriates!
- Yes! Those characters may come back to the island for the weekend, without it counting against their regular 5 days per month.
- No! They don't have to come back to the island to be affected; through Fandom's clingy, clingy love, they can go AU no matter where they're physically located.
