APOCALYPSE AU: 2019
This event will run from Tuesday, July 23rd until Sunday, August 4th.
Greensville, North Carolina.
The date is July 23rd, 2019. Ten months ago, life as everyone knew it ended for the small town’s residents - and the world. Societies crumbled, populations plummeted, and basic resources became a valuable commodity. Drinking water was scarce, fuel was dwindling, and it seemed to all that the movies had almost gotten it right - almost. They’d been too generous.
Many fled the towns and cities during the initial crisis, and some remained. Some became safe havens for lost souls and those that stayed behind, and some became outposts for trouble - some, like Greensville, had been stuck in limbo.
The town’s future is yet to be decided, as its residents adjust to life as it is. Some hope to restore the world to its former “glory”, to establish the society that they knew, and rebuild exactly what they lost. Others seek to start fresh, to learn from the mistakes of the past, and navigate the new world not only to survive, but to live. And there are those who refuse to waste their time on empty promises of a better tomorrow - they take what they need, and don’t look back.
Plots do not have to be run by the admin, but please respect NOS’ canon plot guidelines. If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to be 100% sure that your plot is alright, the main’s inbox is always open!
It’s not mandatory, but we also encourage everyone to make a post about the characters you’ll be using for this AU. Post links to any information posts in the OOC. Please don’t reblog the post itself!
You’re welcome to also tag these posts with #aunoschara, but as the tags still appear to be misbehaving, the OOC is recommended!
Closed starters are not permitted during this AU - this goes for AU and canon starters. The starters rule must be upheld - three starter replies for every starter posted. You must make an effort to continue these threads - it doesn’t count to reply to a starter and drop the thread immediately after. However, for everyone participating in the AU, you are allowed one “freebie” starter per account - but please make sure to reply to each other’s too!
AU starters may also be posted in our NOSStarters blog, but MUST have their title formatted with “AU” at the beginning. This is to help anyone who isn’t participating differentiate from canon starters! The #aunosstarter tag may also be used, we just can’t guarantee that all posts will show up here.
Please note, if you failed to complete our most recent activity task, you will not be able to participate in this AU.
If you have any questions, please reach out.
