Hello everyone. It is with a heavy heart that we let you know that we’ve discussed it and, though we hate to say it, we’ve decided that it’s best to close the group. Both of us have so much going on in real life right now that we just don’t have the time that’s required to dedicate to running a large group like this, which we’re sure you understand since a lot of you have messaged us about becoming very busy in real life as well. Maybe one day, we’ll be able to bring Ashwood back, and if we do you’re all more than welcome to come back because we love you all so much, but for now, we’re going to have to say goodbye to Ashwood University. We hope you understand, and thank you for sticking with us for a few days short of a year, it’s been great. <3

Take Note.

Recently, one of our players received an anonymous message that was extremely negative and hateful and we would like to address that.

We would like to remind everyone that anons are not the way to handle player to player situations. If there issues with a character’s actions, or something that someone is doing, we ask that you either talk to the player, or if that isn’t something you feel comfortable doing, send a message to the Admins about it instead of sending an anon. That sort of behavior is not acceptable in this group or in roleplay in general.

Please like this post once you have read it.

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone! We’ve made an update to our rules and would like everyone to review them to make sure they are on board. Please like this post when you have read the update, so that we know that everyone understands.

We have updated our rules to include the following:

A NOTE ABOUT STARTER POSTS

Replying to starters is important and keeps the RP going. All types of starters are welcome and encouraged, including regular dash starters and F2F starters. While any starter is okay, we want to let everyone know that F2F starters need to be tagged as such. Please know that if you post a F2F starter, that it is not required that other characters reply to that starter, especially if it would force them to go OOC.

Please like this post to let us know that you have read it.

Just a Note!

Due to the length of time the character was here and plot complications for other characters involved, Rachel Berry’s twin sister, Lily Cochran, will remain as a NPC. It is to be understood that Lily dropped out of college to focus on the Broadway show in which she was performing. No relationships need be continued, Lily is a plot point that cannot be erased at this time.

If there are any questions, please feel free to message Admin Ellen on Discord.

A character has updated their secret!

CHARACTER: Carter Whittaker (Bio HERE) PLAYED OUT SECRET: He is lying about his age and being a prince for attention NEW SECRET: He’s started seeing a therapist for the first time in 7 years for his anger management concerns.

After finally meeting his half siblings and ultimately his biological father, Carter started to grow weary of keeping the prince secret going. The added stress of his breakup has left him feeling overwhelmed and falling back on old habits. Things that seemed inconsequential before have started to add up, and he realized his teenage struggles with anger management were returning.

A morally ambiguous night with his ex sent him reeling to Illinois where he saw his mother for the first time since running away the day he turned 18. The pair spoke at length and made amends, and he admitted that he was having trouble controlling his anger again. She suggested he phone his old therapist from his teenage years and despite not seeing a therapist in over seven years, he reached out and was referred to a therapist in NYC. When he returned back to university, he visited the new therapist and has now made arrangements to meet with her regularly in the hopes of understanding himself.

Due to a character stepping down from their role, the following characters will be partially resetting:

Hunter Clarington: All plots involving Sebastian and Lily have been removed. Hunter is starting mostly fresh, like he doesn’t know most people. Lily Cochran: All plots involving Sebastian, Hunter, her show, and her parents have been removed. All other plots and relationships remain.

Hello out there, everyone! Ashwood University will be hosting a SECRET SANTA this year! If that sounds like something you would like to take part in, please send a message to the main by Tuesday, December 5th at 9:00 PM EST. If you decide to take part, make sure to post your character’s Christmas Wishlist, containing 3 to 5 (reasonably priced) items your character is hoping for this Christmas so that your Secret Santa has an idea of what to get you. Be sure to use the tag #ashutask when posting your Christmas list.

We will be using a randomized generator to pair everyone up. We will reply to your message on the main with the name of the person you’re getting a gift for, and you can then check out their Christmas Wishlist to get a gift idea. Once you’ve decided on a gift, send it to the main by Monday, December 11th at 9:00 PM EST. We will then send your partner their gift from the main so that your identity remains anonymous. 

Once everyone has posted their gifts, we will post a list of who everyone’s Secret Santa was on the main page. We ask that you do not reveal who you’ve been partnered up with until after that list has been posted, to keep the mystery of this event going! In character or out of character. That’s all part of the fun! This is an official event, so please make sure that when you post your Secret Santa gift, you use the tag #ashuevent. We hope you all take part!

[ashwooduni]

Ellen will be putting @baymotta on hold for a little while, while her life settles down a little. Bay will still be a canon NPC, and Jeremy Jordan will not be available as an fc. Ellen is still up for headcanoning with him. As soon as everything is back to normal, Bay will be picked back up, but for the time being, he will be considered an NPC.

Hey guys!! It’s finally post-holidays and we are looking at musicals for our mostly grown up theatre kids to put on this spring. We’ve compiled a few that we think would be great, and we would love your opinion! Which is why we’ve created a poll where you can read the synopsis for each show we’ve selected and even watch a YouTube video of said performance. We’re asking that each member vote in the poll only once (meaning, if you have three characters, you still only get to vote one time). The poll will close at 10:00 PM EST on Thursday, January 18th, 2018, so make sure your voice is heard!

Another reminder to vote for which musical you’d like to see!

Hey everyone! Remember that time we had a really pretty calendar? Well unfortunately, the prettiness of it must have made the html not work. After a few months of messing around with it, we’ve given up. In place of the physical calendar is a new and improved, planner-style calendar. Please check it out and note the little form at the top- you can submit your own events, holidays, and birthdays to be included in the calendar!

[ashwooduni]

Acceptances are going to take place tonight at 8:00 PM EST, which should give you plenty of time to get your app in, if you haven’t already. If you have any questions at all, feel free to send a message our way!

Hello to all of our lovely players! We’ve been working on a little something to add to the group- an Ashwood OOC Discord. We are happy to announce that we’re going to start rolling this out tonight! Everyone will be sent a link on their first character’s account, so if everyone is talking about it and you still haven’t gotten that link please let us know!

[ashwooduni]

Hello gang! We’re happy to announce that we’ve got a solution for anyone who’s Secret has run it’s course. Take a look at our new Secret Update Feature, and as always, feel free to send any questions our way!
