hi all. just a heads up that this is totally optional and it’s more like a fun game/thread prompt than “event.” essentially, i’m nostalgic for gilmore girls, so have this bullshit. i’ll twist something creepy into the plot as a result of this:
annually, as a private university, ashcroft does it’s picnic basket fundraiser. certain students that sign up submit picnic basket lunches anonymously and other students bid on the baskets without knowing who they’re bidding for. this year, the fundraiser will go to benefit the remodeling of the infamous east wing. thank you all for your participation and community spirit – we’re really excited to kick off our twenty-fifth annual picnic day.
if you’re interested in participating, please like this post by saturday, july 27, 8pm est. if you have multiple characters but would only like to participate with one of them, please clarify that ASAP otherwise i’ll assume that you want to participate with all of your characters.
on saturday night, i’ll divide the people participating with a random generator, and half of the characters will be “bidders” and half will have baskets. if you have multiple characters, i’ll try to make sure you can have one in each category, math permitting.
people with baskets will be notified and required to submit a description of their basket by sunday, july 29, at 5pm est.
following that, the baskets will be posted and “bidding” will begin, i.e. the bidders will send me their top 2-3 baskets (number fluctuating depending on how many people participate).
on either tuesday or wednesday, depending how quickly people get back to me, i’ll post who got whose basket and you’ll do a picnic day para with that person.
this could fail completely, but it could be kinda fun, who knows ! humor me ! LIKE this post if you want to participate.
