First of all, if you haven't read the first term, I recommend that you do so- I worked hard to include a lot of information on a lot of topics and most of it won't be repeated in this sequel. If you're already a reader, I should explain that since there will undoubtedly be more applicants this time and since this story's perspective is a little different, each student will have much less time in the spotlight than the students in the first term did. New students may only apply as themselves this time because honestly, it'll just be easier for me to manage that way. Just be honest when filling out the form. Everyone who applies will be accepted into the University. You will, however, be held responsible for any fanfiction that you have written. (I do still intend to try to read the fics of each student who applies! I just hope I don't end up regretting that decision.) Please fill out the form below and send it to me by PM or email (ethersflame[at]yahoo[dot]com
Oh, and any and all suggestions for lessons and topics to include in the curriculum are welcome, whether you apply as a student or not!
The application is basically the same as the first one- if you were already a student in the previous term and you want to apply for this one as well, you don't need to fill out the form again, just let me know in a PM or email that you want in for this term too.
