APPLICATIONS FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS FOR FALL 2008

[bigdamnprincipal]

To apply, read the following info, click the link to the application form, fill it out for the character you want to play, and send it off!

NEW POLICIES AS OF FALL 2008
(AKA, the really important part everyone needs to read.)

As mentioned, we are trying something new with applications this round. If a player's application falls into one of the following categories:

a) Student applications where the player does not have a current student, or where the player's only student is leaving/graduating at the end of the current semester/term
b) Teacher applications where the player has not previously had a teacher
c) Applications from new players to the game

and the application is submitted ten days before the end of the application period (August 11th), we will consider it and, if there are any issues with it, will go back to the player to give them a chance to make changes. Players in this situation will have at least five days to make any changes.

In addition, as also mentioned previously, the rules for alumni have been expanded. If you want to bring your alumni character back for a semester to be a teacher, you can do that with the standard application.

Finally, we've decided to make some changes to the character cap for fandoms:

1) The cap of ten characters per fandom now only encompasses characters who are actually on the island (teachers, townies, students) and any characters who are on an approved temporary hiatus.
2) The personal player cap of two characters per fandom now also only encompasses characters actually on the island (as listed above).
3) Due to the differences within the canon, Marvel fandom has been broken up into three separate fandoms: Marvel 616, Marvel AUs (which includes Ultimate and the plethora of AUs), and Marvel Movies/TV/Cartoons (Non-Comics)

( The basics you need to know. )

Most Wanted!
In addition to teachers and students, we're currently looking for someone to take over running the Fandom Town Emergency Clinic and also the School Library.

These two roles involve specific responsibilities. The Clinic boss is responsible for monitoring clinic staff and ensuring that every shift during the week is covered. This role is for a doctor/medical character. The librarian is responsible for supervising the library aides and will need to decide on new library aides to complement the current roster when Fall starts. The librarian is also ICly responsible for (keeping people out of/keeping bad things in) Special Collections and facilitates library/SC plots approved by the admins.

Application Form
You only need to fill out the parts that are relevant to the type of character you are applying for (ie: if you're a student applicant, don't fill in the stuff marked 'Townies Only').

If you don't get a confirmation email from us within 24 hours, please email us.

As mentioned above, here at Fandom High we have a soft character cap of 10 characters per fandom. There are currently no fandoms at full capacity, so feel free to apply for characters from whatever fandom you choose. You can check on your prospective fandom's character count by checking out the character roster on fandomhigh.net (linked above).

Applications close Friday, August 22, 2008. E-mail administration@fandomhigh.net with any questions and we'll try to respond promptly.

The next application session for students and teachers after this will be in December for a January start. Townie applications are always open.

Got a question? We're here to answer it!

Living On Your Own, Friday, Period 1

[tyler_gone]

Tyler was not wearing his pink, frilly apron today. He took class much more seriously.

Instead, it was one with a tuxedo print.

He seemed in high spirits as he waited for the students to gather, and if his movements were a little stiff, you'd have to know him well to notice. The bruise on his cheek, though -- that was a little harder to miss.

"Happy Friday," he greeted. "We are cooking today. Cooking's important, both because it's cheaper than going out all the time, and because it's safer -- if you cook for yourself, you know what's in the food." This was perhaps more important to Tyler than it was to most people. "And don't say you can't cook, ninety percent of it is just following directions and I know you can all read."

"Today we're going to make chili and then Meg will show you how to bake brownies. Chili's a great specialty to have because the ingredients are cheap, most people like it, it's easy, and it stores well, so you can make a huge batch and eat it all week." He demonstrated the steps to preparing a simple chili, and handed out recipes for that and for vegetarian chili. Once the pot of chili was bubbling away, he added, "and now, after my TA demonstrates, it's your turn to cook. Ingredients are at the workstations back there. Work alone or in pairs. And if you get into a food fight, you get to clean it up." He did have his limits.

Thurviving Mad Thcientithtth [1.08]

[canlendyouahand.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop looked about as far from something as technologically advanced as a danger shop as it was possible to get. As the students walked through the doors they were plunged into night, the only illumination coming from a full and rather red moon, high in the sky. It was more than enough for them to see by.

Which they might later come to regret.

"One of the hallmarkth of the traditional mad thcientitht ith a burning, one might thay obthethive, need for partth. Unlike Igorth, who collect body partth in order to heal people, they are only interethted in building the nathtietht creature they can. The other thing about mad thcientithtth is that they rarely have a lot of money." Igor waved a cheerful hand at the seemingly endless graveyard, and the mausoleums scattered liberally through the grounds, and then pointed at a pile of shovels, picks, and burlap sacks, useful for anyone who'd forgotten their satchel.

"That'th where you come in. What can't be bought mutht be acquired. Head on out and try and find a few bitth and pieceth." There was a long pause, and then he took pity on them; he knew people tended to be squeamish. "None of the partth are human. There'th only bitth of animalth and mythological creatureth out there. Dig them up, break into the mautholeumth, thteal them from each other - the goal ith to get in, get a piece of thomething, cover your trackth and get out again." He grinned toothily. "You'll be uthing thome of thethe pieceth next week."

Roving the Galaxy - Friday, Period 4 (Week 4)

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was set up like a giant walk-in wardrobe with alcoves for changing. The Doctor was trying on new coats. "Go on," he said with a jerk of his head towards the other racks. "Sometimes you have to fit in and dress the part. Now keep in mind you can't always drag around a wardrobe unless you're me, so have a think about something that you can travel in that will work in different settings and that looks good. A good coat can go a long way."

Library [01.08]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Once the library was opened, Karal and Altra settled in to read about the island's current location. Karal was looking for something fun for him and Evey to do; what they found was absolute horror.

"These creatures cannot be real," he murmured, while Altra's ears flattened. Just in case, he pulled his feet up onto the chair.

Summer Fitness [Period 2, Friday]

[doubleohblonde]

The class had handwavily been told to meet at the beach, where a rather nice head of surf was crashing against the sand. Bond was waiting on the shore with a pile of wetsuits and a number of boards.

After everyone had finished changing into their suits, Bond began. "In light of our current location, instead of my originally planned class for today, you will all be learning to surf instead."

This lead to a short lecture on the history of surfing, and the science behind it, as well as a demonstration of proper surfing technique, before Bond led his students into the water.
