Questions/Concerns
I may be busy/Worry about Activity
For everyone: Can you devote a paragraph a week?
(PS -- This number for now is a week, but it can go up to two weeks or down to four days depending on number of people/how our rhythm goes! So don't take the number in stone just yet.) If you can find one day in your week to check on us, I think you'll be fine! We're pretty lax! Please PM me if you've fallen behind/have to go on break or the reading gets too much and I'll provide summaries.
To the Slowbros among us -- Open communication is key, post in the DT and give us a time-frame, say - "I'll have a post in by Friday!" If you still can't get it in by then, give it to one of the....
To the Rapidashes among us -- If you can't wait to get another post in! Help out one of our Slowbros and take over their character for a post
Let's all be respectful and let's all help one another out.There are a LOT of characters o.0
Cheat sheets will be made available as we get your templates in. Also, most of you will face character deaths throughout the course of the storybook c:
Wait...deaths?! :O
Yes. This hasn't happened yet, but if you peer into the future, you will find out that one of you is a murderer who goes around killing dead poets. Nobody knows who it is yet. It is our job to work together and figure WHO YOU ARE AND STOP YOU FROM KILLING US ALL!
So. Like a Wink Murder? Or Clue? Or Murder Mystery?
Exactly! Except more sinister, trickier to guess correctly, and more fun.
What else is happening?
Well, it is up to us! Use this thread and come up with some ideas together C: But for a start...
1st Years -> Your orientation starts soon. After you finish unpacking your stuff, Tolkein will take you through a guided tour of the campus and you will all gather and meet at the Great Hall around nightfall where one-by-one you will be introduced to the rest of the school. First years, use the time before the ceremony to make friends/allies and avoid potential enemies!
2nd Years -> You were already ranked last year and you know the whole spiel. You already have your groups of friends and you already know who you're staying away from. What is on your mind is the Homecoming dance that will be occurring soon!
There are not enough girls at this school. Guys, you will have to compete against the other guys in finding a date to the dance! Gay guys, you're golden, unless you're in the closet. Girls - you have loads to choose from, so choose wisely (also yes - first years and seniors are also attending the dance)!
3rd Years/Seniors -> The day before the Homecoming, all seniors will one by one be performing their Final Poem in front of the whole school for their first exam grade. Everyone is nervous about this. Some of you will use this time to explore the city and find inspiration, some of you will spy and try to steal lines from your opponents' notebooks. Dante will be ranking students based on their performance and so the pecking order begins.
Top students are closer to winning the Pulitzer and get all other kinds of benefits, including Fridays off. Bottom students may have to repeat the year, or worse, spend their free time in detention doing extra work.
Schedule for Arc 1 goes:
Unpacking -> Orientation -> Some Classes -> Some Free Time -> Final Poems -> Homecoming -> MURDER.
All the how's, why's, when's, details, colors and deviations from this OCCUR WITH OUR OWN creativities splooshing together during the adventure, so use it as a guide, not necessarily as a fast rule
Final Poems? Does that mean we have to WRITE POETRY?
You can if you want, but honestly, you have a dead poet inside of you. And you have the internet. Use a poem your poet wrote!
ANYMORE QUESTIONS? THAT'S WHAT DT IS FOR!
Above all, focus on your character templates and as you're writing them, focus on interacting with everybody! ~ Also. Don't be surprised to see mysterious PMs or newsletters from me
