Welcome to Fandom High, a multidimensional high school for canon characters of any and all fictional fandoms, nestled above Fandom Town at the highest point of Fandom Island, currently located off the coast of Maryland, USA. All characters who attend will receive the finest of educations, if you can avoid the dangers of detention, the gremlins, and the wrath of your friendly principal - or your fellow students for that matter.
__
Fandom High, the game, is an ongoing story about that school: a text-based non-commercial, non-official roleplaying game. It's a large, cooperative, constantly changing work of fanfiction, guided by a team of administrators but with plenty of room for players to create their own ongoing storylines or just enjoy writing everyday interactions between the characters. These storylines and interactions are created purely for personal entertainment, with no intent or possibility of deriving a profit from copyrighted characters or settings.
Fandom High is played via journals and communities on Livejournal. The game was created in 2005, and is not affiliated with the "Fandom High" meme on Instagram. Due to the possibility of mature storylines and scenes, all players must be at least 18 years of age. Application information can be found in the OOC reference section below!
