what a crazy dream, huh?

our first au event has officially come to an end, and regular dash activity may now resume! thank you to everyone who participated, interacted, and gave something new a try.

as a reminder, it’s totally fine to reference the au as a dream, weird vision, déjà vu, or something similar but nothing that occurred during the event should alter canon rp, existing plots, or established relationships. now back to reality.

[highspotsevents]

welcome to campus! try not to get expelled.

our first au event has officially begun! from now until approximately 7pm cst on friday, everything on the dash is taking place in our college au.

skip class. pull an all-nighter. join a frat. start drama. fall in love. fail an exam. become a campus legend. whatever you decide, have fun with it and don't be afraid to get a little messy. none of it is canon, so now is the time to experiment and get creative. have fun!

[highspotsevents]

reminder!!

our first au event begins tomorrow and runs through friday! we have posts queued so everyone knows exactly when the au will start and stop (beginning around 8am cst on thursday). during the event, there should be a pause on regular interactions and non-au dash activity. feel free to also use an au-specific tag on your blogs if it helps keep things organized.

most importantly: have fun with this! go wild, get creative, and explore your muses in a new way. remember, you’re not required to participate with every muse you have, but we’d love to see everyone give it a try with at least one role.

AU EVENT 01: College AU — June 18–19

after a lot of interest in the survey, we’re officially kicking things off with a college au for two days! since this is our first au event, here are some loose guidelines and what to expect:

this is completely non-canon. nothing that happens during the au event will impact regular rp, canon relationships, or ongoing plots. portray your muse however you’d like.

canon rp connections are not required. keep them if you want, change them if you want, ignore them entirely if you want. this is your chance to experiment and get creative.

feel free to post a quick blurb about your muse’s au version (major, dorm situation, job, vibes, etc.) if you’d like, but we’d love to learn about characters mostly through interactions on the dash. feel free to surprise us!

we know many of you have multiple characters, so please don’t feel pressured to do them all. we’d just love to see everyone give the au a try with at least one muse.

push it for two days. seriously. because this isn’t canon, we really encourage everyone to lean into the fun and take chances you normally wouldn’t.

once the event wraps up, the au stays in the au! we will have posts queued so everyone knows exactly when it starts and ends. if you’d like, your muse can joke about having a “weird dream” or something similar, but nothing should carry over in a way that alters regular rp reality.

now… who’s skipping class first?

we’re planning our first au event! we have to shoutout @thcangel for bringing this idea to the table and also chatting with us. we’re very excited for what we have planned!

before the first au event takes place, we’ll post some simple guidelines and expectations so everyone is on the same page going into it. for now, just know that au events will only take place for ~2 days so they don’t completely throw off regular rp happenings. this is an alternate universe, completely not canon, so the things that happen do not affect regular rp or connections at all. it’s a chance to go wild with creativity. it should be fun!

here is a poll with our favorite ideas so far to get us started. if there isn’t a clear winner, we may do a second poll to narrow it down and if you have another au idea, drop it below!
