Ghanima had meditated.

She had counseled herself to patience, to trusting in the Golden Path and Leto, and in the bright minds and indomitable wills of Fandom. This too would pass, brought low like all other challengers to this place.

She had been wrong.

Ghanima had listened to the message fifty, perhaps sixty, times since last night, ( Read more... )

Ghanima had been splitting much of her time between the school and the palace as of late, and her portal barely got her back to Fandom in time for Parent Weekend. The time-differences between home and the island were hard to map, and she had much to accomplish on Dune in the next few....hours? Weeks? She gave a mild frown, but dismissed it ( Read more... )

There was something waiting. Ghanima could feel it, hovering at the edges of her prescience like the air before a coriolis storm. Just beyond the dunes, if she cared to look.

Except that would take all the fun out of it. Infinite surprises, as she and Leto craved, and Ghanima resisted the urge to pick up her Dune Tarot. Instead she channeled ( Read more... )

Ghanima had been....delayed in reaching the radio station last night, but it sounded like Mr. Starsmore and his friends had been more than capable of handling themselves. In truth, she had been delaying, spending most of the weekend by her self down at the beach, slightly sad that Leto had not come to visit her and Irulan ( Read more... )

Too often, students become wrapped up in the strange culture of Fandom Island, never looking past its boarders to see the wider world. This class is an opportunity to explore the mainland on a regular basis, and take in some of the wonders that this planet has to offer. Students will travel by portal to various points of interest all over the ( Read more... )

From cityscapes to icebergs, each week we will look at a different type of terrain, and one thing you can do to make your life easier. Please be aware that there is no syllabus to this class, because Ghanima is a cruel woman and does not want you to have time to prepare for each scenario ( Read more... )

Moving somewhere new can be disconcerting at the best of times. Moving dimensions, however, brings with it entirely new paradigms of thought.

( Moving to Fandom, in turn, takes those new paradigms of thought, blindfolds them, spins them in circles, and then sends them wandering off in random directions with a paper tail stuck to a thumbtack in hand. )

So as we mentioned here, this Sunday's Fight Club will be tag-team fights! We're asking people to sign-up with a partner, and then we'll RNG pairs together. Sign-ups close Friday at noon, and yes, this is open to alumni too, if you know you're going to be on the island ( Read more... )

This time, when it hit, Ghanima had been in the middle of a midnight run along the beach, well after radio had aired and most sensible people were asleep. It wasn't like her runs across the dunes at home, not even remotely close, but it would never due to slack her training out of some sense of nostalgia ( Read more... )

Ghanima is looking for a pair of minions TAs for World Mythology, to be determined by the whims of the RNG. Duties include passing out handouts, posting for me if I get eaten by RL, and, if there's a myth you're passionate about, the opportunity to teach class that day ( Read more... )
