Hi! So, I've not really touched this website for years. It's fallen into disrepair and it would be irresponsible of me to pretend I'll ever have time to work on it again.

So, I'm going to mothball the site/set it to read-only. I've disabled the login links because they stopped working any I don't remember enough about how the site works to figure out how to fix them.

If any thing *really* needs updating (deadnaming-level stuff), let me know and I'll go in on the backend and make changes.

Description

Based on a larp by Nils Andersen, Aina Sogn Husvegg and Jeanita Hatlestrand Larpscript by Jeanita Hatlestrand

The Association for the Advancement of Rights for Fairytales Creatures (AFC) is an organization for all fairytale creatures, ruled with an iron fist by The Witch/The Evil Stepmother. It was once a democratic organization but since the Witch became chairman, it is democratic in name only. There has been a lot of unhappy members lately, but the chairman has powerful friends. Supported by The Big Bad Wolf she has made allies using shameless favoritism, threats, and every other means she could possibly think of to hold the opposition down. For instance: changing the voting system from secret ballot to show of hands, has made some of the members vote to please the chairman.

It is time for the annual meeting, and this year someone decided to speak up. Is this the year the opposition dares to stand up? For a lot of the characters it is time to take a stand. Should the AFC help and support all of their members, or should the creatures take responsibility for their own lives? As in all organizations there are of course some trivial issues that need to be addressed. But the question remains: What is trivial to you? What battle should you choose to fight? Is it better just to sit back and let it happen?

The main theme of the larp is democracy put in a somewhat absurd setting. Each character is a fairytale creature from a popular story. Every time someone reads a fairytale, the individuals involved act out the story. It’s their job. The difference between their private and professional lives is therefore limited. This leads to somewhat absurd situations in the characters’ everyday lives. Cinderella is also a modern woman in the real modern world. The King is the father of the countless princesses, and every single time someone reads the story of Rapunzel she has to let that prince climb her hair. Every member is employed for life, so most of the characters have something on the agenda.
