Alternative You Event Info
On Day 387 (August 1-7) things have changed for you. You just don't know they changed. You woke up as an AU version of yourself, but as far as you know this is the way it's always been.

ALTERNATE REALITY FLAVORS:

• Genre — High school? Musical? Post-apocalyptic? Western? Rule 34? Space? Vampire?

• Shifts in your history — You chose to follow your dream of being a singer instead of going into terrorism years ago? You were never cursed by a witch? Your parents were never killed so you didn't become Batman?

• Shifts in your world's history — Space travel was never achieved? A war had a different victor? Pollution rates tripled?

• Random — You are now someone's long lost lover or a different species or gender or anything. You've seen how it goes in movie reboots.

These are just examples. The possibilities are endless!

PHYSICAL CHANGES: Your character can have all the appropriate physical transformations you need—eyebrow ring, purple hair, scars, wheelchair, species change, powers, etc.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES: Of course, you don't have the trappings of your AU-supported world around you. But maybe your apartment and wardrobe better reflects the current you. Or maybe it doesn't. Sometimes the wardens fully support their work and sometimes they get a little lazy, so the details are up to you.

PRISON-RELATED MENTAL CHANGES: You can transform your character's perception of their relationships and role in the prison accordingly, leave it how it is, or you can imagine that they only recently arrived. Do what works best for you and your AU!

AWARENESS: Just because you don't know anything has changed for you doesn't mean other people won't notice you're different even if they've been affected too. You can also think some people have changed and others are the same. Whatever works!

SHARING IS CARING: People can also share AUs even cross-canonly.

NEW JOURNALS: If you want a new journal for new icons you're welcome to it. You just have to make posts/top-levels/first comments with your regular journal so we (the mods and those you're playing with) can be sure it's you!

OPT OUT: Stay your perfect self.
PLOTTING: This post!
QUESTIONS: Ask away!

Please note, this post is up 2 weeks early instead of 1 week early like usual. We just wanted you to have more time to plot and prepare.

EDIT: FAQ

• IC Rules — The wardens will give people a pass on the IC Rules this time because they aren't themselves. The wardens also aren't announcing this free-for-all or anything, but if a crime of passion (any sort) occurs they won't bring you up on charges. Of course, being back in our regular facility means death will be handled as it usually is and not on a permanent basis like it was in the Pleasure Prison.

• Memories after the event — You will remember what happened while affected and a little about the circumstances of how you got to be that way if you'd like. You won't remember an entire lifetime's worth of memories though. It will feel more dreamlike.

I'M SO EXCITED BECAUSE AUs ARE MY FAVORITE. Not that you can tell since I'm late to the planning post, but.

Felix Gaeta will be from an alternate timeline where the cylons didn't destroy most of humanity and his life doesn't suck completely. The Galactica was decommissioned and turned into a museum as planned and Gaeta was able to follow his dream of studying genetics and probably half a dozen other unrelated things. He'll still be a polite smartass, but in a cheerful way instead of a bitter way. More uptight, too. It'll be fun!

He'll think he's been in Marina for the twenty-ish days that he's actually been around, but with appropriately altered memories. If you have any specific CR you'd like to change up, let me know! Otherwise, I'll just roll with whatever seems exciting.

Pavel Chekov may or may not participate. I'm thinking about an AU where Nero manages to destroy Earth because symmetry. He wouldn't change significantly; unlike Gaeta, Chekov's fairly durable. Not as chipper as usual and no bragging about Russia. If this sounds fun to you, tell me and we can plan!

Nathan Harris might be a normal boy. No Unidentified Television Show Disorder, no paraphilias, no suicide attempts. I haven't decided.

Let's plan?

	Flirting. I want more flirting. Also possibly Damon attacking Nathan. I'm not sure about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You need only ask, friend. I'm always down with having my characters attacked, especially when they have no idea what they did to warrant it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatasshole 2016-07-30 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	Nothing, Nathan. You did nothing to warrant it. Damon is just an asshole. I am looking forward to this. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Okay. Adding things here. Mal and Sarah are staying who they are, but I think it'd be neat for Sarah to see Nathan as normal. And Mal is not a chipper man. He could definitely interact with not as chipper Chekov. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would love for Sarah to interact with a normal (more normal, anyway) Nathan, and Mal and Chekov should probably get drinks. I don't know why they would, but it feels right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-07-27 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure we can come up with a reason for them to drink. Perhaps Chekov just realizes Mal drinks. A lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-07-27 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe in this AU, Chekov drinks a lot, too. Yay for bonding? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shiny. I like it! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I want all the things! Euphie may stay normal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-07-27 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	GOOD. I'd like something with Euphie and Nathan. Maybe he could remember a very, very different version of a relationship with her? Like, a nice version? Also everyone and Kitty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-07-27 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	ooooooooh. Yes! (Reply to this) (Parent)
