#15au

Annnnd our 10 year future week has ended! Thank you to everyone that participated, it’s been a lot of fun. However, in those days, we haven’t gotten to see what’s been doing on in the canon for all of these lovely characters. Did we miss any drama? Did anything big happen? Time to get back to reality and see what we’ve missed!

And it’s officially our 10 year future AU week! The year is 2026, marijuana is legal nationwide, there are scientific advancements towards same-sex couples having babies, the debate over legalizing prostitution has become the new hot button issue, and your characters are all ten years older and–maybe–wiser. Where have they gone in that time? What’s changed? What’s the same? That’s for you to decide!

To help get into characters and give everyone some more insight on what this AU means for your characters, here are a few suggestions:

• Pick a new profile picture to better depict where your characters are now • Change your characters’ profile description, and maybe even their URL if they’ve had any name changes • Post mini bios to explain what your characters; life is like in this AU. You can even fill out the following survey to do this: -Name: -Age: -Current Work/School: -Current Living Situation: -Relationship Status (and to who!): -Any kids (and with who!): -Any notable physical differences (hair changes, tattoos/piercings, body, etc.): -Any notable personality differences (self-esteem, priorities, hobbies, etc.): • Post some pictures that show importances in your characters’ lives, like the way they look now, their partner, their pets

This AU will take place from now until Monday, November 21st @ 12 AM EST , so have fun with it! We can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with and we’ll try to have at least one event to get some mingling among our future characters. Happy roleplaying!

Hey everyone! Just a reminder of our upcoming AU week that begins AT MIDNIGHT! 

From Sunday, November 13 @ 12 AM EST to Monday, November 21st @ 12 AM EST, the group will take place 10 years into the future; The year is 2026, marijuana is legal nationwide, there are scientific advancements towards same-sex couples having babies, the debate over legalizing prostitution has become the new hot button issue, and your characters are all ten years older and–maybe–wiser. Where have they gone in that time? What’s changed? What’s the same? That’s for you to decide!

Remember, though that this AU week is like every other, so it is typically based on wherever your characters stand now and its effects do not necessarily have to carry on the same way the next time we have this AU week (but if you choose to keep things the same, that’s up to you!). It also doesn’t have to be in any way like the future week you adopted in the last AU. There is no pressure for continuity when it comes to any AU weeks, including future ones (though if you want to keep things the same, that’s cool, too!). If you do not want to participate in this AU week, that is allowed, but be sure to inform anyone whose plots may rely on yours so that they can potentially figure something else out. Similarly, if you do want to participate, be sure to discuss what you’d like to do with your fellow roleplayers, otherwise they might figure things out without you!

For more information on the week, refer to the original post here. We can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with. See you all in 10 years!

Hey everybody! With the holiday season coming around, we decided to keep it classic with one of our warm and fuzzy favorite AU weeks, so from Sunday, November 13 @ 12 AM EST to Monday, November 21st @ 12 AM EST, the group will take place 10 years into the future; The year is 2026, marijuana is legal nationwide, there are scientific advancements towards same-sex couples having babies, the debate over legalizing prostitution has become the new hot button issue, and your characters are all ten years older and–maybe–wiser. Where have they gone in that time? What’s changed? What’s the same? That’s for you to decide!

Remember, though that this AU week is like every other, so it is typically based on wherever your characters stand now and its effects do not necessarily have to carry on the same way the next time we have this AU week (but if you choose to keep things the same, that’s up to you!).

A few notes based on our recent experiences with future weeks: don’t worry too much about being completely canon with your character’s future if something has changed or isn’t fully in place yet. If you’ve changed your mind about something, if your character’s endgame isn’t in the group yet, or something else that plays a crucial role in your character’s future, just plot something different. It may not be what you truly see happening to your character in 10 years, but it at least opens you up to enjoy your week without feeling stuck, underplotted, or by yourself. Also if you have characters without endgames–whether it’s because they’re not in the group yet, they’re not active, or you just don’t have an endgame set at all–come up with some new ships for the week! It doesn’t mean that you have to stick with them or that original endgames are no longer in place, plus it might make for some good ship test driving. As stated previously, nothing you do in one future week has to stay for the next ones. The main importance is to have fun and enjoy your time with your fellow roleplayers writing in a different time for your characters, so don’t stress out, just enjoy yourself! We’d also like to note that as of today, there is a little over 2 weeks before the AU starts, so use that time wisely; talk to your fellow roleplayers, come up with ideas–get prepared so that you won’t feel lost when the week begins. It’s way easier to enjoy your week if you know what you’re doing with it!

To help get into characters and give everyone some more insight on what this AU means for your characters, you might want to prepare some things to post once the AU begins. Here are a few suggestions:

• Pick a new profile picture to better depict where your characters are now • Change your characters’ profile description, and maybe even their URL if they’ve had any name changes • Post mini bios to explain what your characters; life is like in this AU. You can even fill out the following survey to do this: -Name: -Age: -Current Work/School: -Current Living Situation: -Relationship Status (and to who!): -Any kids (and with who!): -Any notable physical differences (hair changes, tattoos/piercings, body, etc.): -Any notable personality differences (self-esteem, priorities, hobbies, etc.): • Post some pictures that show importances in your characters’ lives, like the way they look now, their partner, their pets

With that all in mind, have fun, everyone! We can’t wait to see what you all come up with.
