Hi folks!
Two weekends from now (July 9th and 10th) all your stress and worries will be forgotten... along with everything else! Fandom's been so bored out in space lately, it's bringing back
Tabula Rasa! (And yes, this time it's still just the island screwing with you, because Fandom remembers how much "fun" it was to watch when somebody did it by accident.)
Anyone who wants to participate will wake up on Saturday morning with all of their memories erased, and will have no background history to go from other than what they pick up when they wake up. Your character's abilities and personality won't change - but discovering you have those abilities could be fun! Or traumatizing. We have half a bet riding on 'traumatizing'. On Monday morning, everyone's memories will return to normal, along with all the new memories from the weekend.
Like all events, this is voluntary, so feel free to keep your memories and warm up some popcorn!
ETA: I almost forgot to mention this, but before Tabula Rasa weekend, on Monday, July 4th - hi, Independence Day! - the island is celebrating the holiday by giving everyone One Day, One Wish! This event, ganked from the brainstorming of the now-departed
new_to_liirness, means everyone on Fandom gets what they think they want for one day. Play it for laughs ("OMG the bikini babes won't even let me PEE alone!"). Play it for drama ("...I know you're going to disappear tomorrow, but it was nice having a family for a day."). Play it for simplicity ("Wow. Thank you. That was just an awesome cheesecake.") But everyone gets one wish.
And at midnight, it ends. Alas.
