Hey.. since the Thornville High Rp community seems to have dissolved, would it be possible for a Thornville blog to join/migrate to this AU?

Certainly! All that we ask is that you make it somehow apparent that your character has moved to Seaspear, so that it would make sense for yours and other characters to meet and interact! That is, of course, if you’re going to be using the same blog.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding this or anything else, please feel free to send another ask or message us using the chat system. ^^

[seaspearcity]

Apologies to everyone for the huge delay with Saturday chats! We have been experiencing some unforeseen difficulties with internet connections and other inconveniences. We hope not many of you are disappointed!

We’re also taking this time to give a sort of heads up:

With Weehawken starting up for this year’s round of camping fun, activity on this blog and AU may slow down temporarily, as many Seaspear mods will be taking part in the Weehawken AU.

Activity on this blog will resume as usual once it has ended, however!

Thank you for being patient and please continue to be as we try and get things settled and ready.

Hello again, Seaspear mods!

This is an update regarding the chat sessions. A good update!

After tonight, the Seaspear chat will be freely accessible during any day of the week! By default, the setting will be at the beach.

Any day that isn’t Saturday. Saturday is still going to be the one day we have password protected chats, where we have specific settings every week. Just to keep it special!

It should also be noted that certain holidays and events will have password protected chat sessions. We’ll make a post about that in advance, though!

If you would like to have the chat made private with a password for an event you have in mind (character birthday, etc), let us know! We’ll work something out.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please speak up! We won’t bite! We want everyone to be comfortable and happy. 

If you see anyone in any chat session that shouldn’t be there (randoms), or behavior that makes you or others uncomfortable, let us know here and we’ll take care of it!

The usual chat rules still apply: no NSFW, stop doing what you’re doing if others seem uncomfortable, etc.!

what about onceler blogs? can they join the au?

Currently, almost everyone in the AU are associated with the fandom, so Once-lers will fit in great! But, one may have to be de-oncelerized or de-seussified to fit into the atmosphere of a highschool. Just keep an open mind about it! 

[seaspearcity]

Soooo....Exactly what are the requirements to join this lil AU? How exactly do you join? How do you "play" What if no one likes you? How do you get started? I've never done this before, can you tell? lol

Hello there! Good to see you’re taking interest in our AU!

Let’s tackle your questions one at a time, shall we?

What are the requirements to join the AU?Have an OC (preferably of the variety that are/appear human!)Give that OC a Seaspear blogBe respectful of othersRemember that this AU is for fun! 

How do you join the AU?Make your chosen OC a Seaspear blog. That’s it, really! You should also message this blog with the URL, so that we may add your OC to the Resident List and follow their blog!

How do you “play”?Send other Seaspear blogs Asks as your character, talk to other Seaspear mods and organize an RP, post drawings of your character, etc.. It’s just like owning any other askblog, really! It’s not difficult, but it takes patience.

What if no one likes you?That’s not the attitude you should go into any AU with, silly! But really, who cares? Do what makes you happy with your OC! 

How do you get started?Make that OC a Seaspear blog! Tell us the URL, we’ll add it to the resident list.Make a starter post on the OC’s blog, preferably with a pic of your OC.Use the suitable tags provided here.Send asks!

We hope that was helpful!

I have a cool potential idea for a sort of group activity? With yearbooks? Like, What if people drew their muses' yearbook pics and then gave them a 'title' (like hottest in class, most likely to be president etc) and we did like a signing event and everything? Or maybe we could do a vote on titles like they do irl? =D just an idea I've had

What an interesting idea! It would be such a cute collaborative event ♥

What do you all think about it? Let us know and we’ll see about making it happen!~ B-mod

Weekly Tinychats!

Hello residents and mods! 

Now that the New Year has mellowed out and everyone’s gotten back into the swing of things, we’ll be rolling out our weekly tinychats again! ♥

We’ll post the link and password to the chat every Saturday evening, roughly at around 8pm CST. 

Of course, that means there will be a tinychat gathering tonight! Be on the lookout for the password later in the evening~ Hope to see you all there. ♥♥ As always, feel free to voice any questions or concerns you have! We’re always listening and want everyone to feel welcomed!

[seaspearcity]

The seaspear chat room was deleted, so...?

So there will be a new one, silly!

Like we said, we gotta get everything ready. (8

Happy Halloween month, Seaspear! 

On October 29th and the 30th, there will be a Halloween party held in the Seaspear chat room~ 

We’ll post the link and password for the chat room on the days of the party, so keep a lookout! ♥ This will be all IC, of course, in case that wasn’t a given.

Everyone should start gathering in the evening for both days, probably around the time listed below. No need to show up too early or you’ll just be bored~

Pacific Standard Time          6:00:00 PM   Eastern Standard Time        9:00:00 PM Central Standard Time         8:00:00 PM

And, of course, spooky music will be provided in the chat~

Have any Halloween related posts for your Seaspear blog? The official Halloween event tag for Seaspear is: #HallowSpear

Do you think Seaspear could have a dance team/club available? Or maybe just a studio in-town?

There could certainly be a dance studio in town!

For now, we can assume it’s located in one of the unnamed buildings on the map. Sound good? (8

[seaspearcity]

On the map, at the dog park. There's a black figure there. Who is that?

A dark figure in the dog park? What ever do you mean?

[seaspearcity]

I get that we cant control what everyone does with their blogs and rps but itd be nice to have the setting be immersive yknow? Cant rly do that if most of the characters/blogs arent located in seaspear o no

We totally understand! 

While we encourage everyone that’s participating in Seaspear to interact with characters outside of the AU, we also encourage everyone to find a way to keep things geographically sound. 

And many of the blogs already do!

However, if they don’t, then you really don’t have to follow that particular blog or interact with them? That’s really the only solution we can offer!

If it becomes a huge issue in the future, we will address it with some other solution, but for now, it’s not ruining the AU or anything.

Comix is kinda slang for X rated comics

Well, if we’re getting technical…

It’s used in quite a few different contexts! 

For real, though, it’s okay, I’m sure no one’s going to get confused. ♥

[seaspearcity]

I'm sorry but could you explain what all the stores and businesses are? What is Spirits? What is Gleam??

Ah, no worries, we can give a brief rundown of what everything is!

☆ AD♥LT = An adult shopping store. No underage employees, please.

☆ C-Mart = Sea + Kmart. Basically a Wal-Mart.

☆ Comix Zone = A mighty fine comic shop. Game nights on weekends.

☆ GameHype = For all your video game needs

☆ GLEAM = An all natural and organic cosmetic store. Think LUSH.

☆ Kale Yeah! = Health bar. Fresh smoothies, salads, anything healthy. 

☆ Paws & Claws = Local pet store. Bigger than it looks. 

☆ Rick ‘N’ Roll = For everything music, from CD’s to instruments. 

☆ SNIPS = Hair salon and barber. Has amazing coupons.

☆ Spirits = A costume store that also specializes in supernatural items.

☆ Thanks a Latte Cafe = A coffee shop with a wonderful ocean view.

☆ The Sand Dollar = Nothing over a dollar here.

☆ Tuckin’ Roll = Delicious sushi and deli bar. 

☆ U-HoE = United House of Eggs. Kinda like IHOP.

Seaspear Map #1

The first half of the map is complete!

For the full image, simply click the link above. ♥

Any blank/untitled buildings that you see can be named upon request. For now, they are simply unnamed businesses meant to fill in space.

Please note! There is a second half of the map in the works! The university will be included on the second half, along with other locations to live and work. This should be plenty to get everyone started, though.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

[seaspearcity]

Quick heads up in case you haven't noticed or have been notified before but there's SSU (South Stitch University) that parallels the onceler verse and I've noticed a few sea spear blogs interacting w SSU specific ones. Idk sea spear's topographical location but south stitch is northwestern. Not sure if this causes location issues but thought I'd let you know.

Oh! Good to hear there are other educational systems out there. (8

Seaspear is actually located on the East Coast. Apologies for not mentioning that sooner!

While we are not affiliated with South Stitch, we can’t exactly control what blogs a mod chooses to have their character interact with. However! We understand that there could be some confusion with this.

Hopefully this ask will help clear some things up for everyone who may have been confused.

[seaspearcity]

are resident applications supposed to be sent by ask or submission

Oh! Don’t fret about those applications, we did away with them. Much too confusing. 8′)

Instead, if you want your character listed, all you gotta do is send an ask with their name and URL.

You guys can choose where your kiddos live after the map is released!
