I've had invariant thoughts about an Avatar one, but while I know a good chunk about the canon there I'm not as familiar with the fanon as I'd like. That, and I doubt I could keep up the relative regularity an OFU requires.
Plus, I'm blatantly biased against most of the fanon I do know about.
of Star Wars and Doctor Who. They current don't exist (unless I've somehow missed them), and they are fairly important fandoms. If we have one for Bourne, we certainly need ones for these much larger canons...
Is anyone else interested in writing these OFUs?
I thought the Star Wars one could be the Caridia Academy/the Jedi Temple. Who could be the Gallifrey Time Lord Academy, complete with Untempered Schism (played for laughs).

School got in the way and I got way too busy. I could maybe reserect it now, but I would have to start from scratch again. Although, I did like Java the Hutt coffee....

I had the university in the Death Star, though one where the planet destroying beam was NOT functioning yet.

Too much work. If you want to try, go right ahead, but I'm not getting close. Everyone who's tried ends up overworked, and I only know of three that actually got to the end of their first year.

I've been seriously considering creating an Avatar OFU as well, and I'm fairly knowledgeable about it, but I'm practically a walking Happy Tree Friends encyclopedia. Either one would be fun, and both fandoms contain one of my LOs.

Hallelujah! (Oh, FYI, I'm a girl. Just so ya know.)
I shall remember for the future, though.
I think there is already an avatar one. Although i don;t think it has minis.
But it isn't an OFU, it's the "Avatar School for Fanfiction Authors". Does that count?
They're pretty much same thing, different name. The Harry Potter OFU was called the Hogwarts Fanfiction Academy, for example.
It was very good, despite lasting only for eleven chapters. There's also a Danny Phantom one, which had 18 chapters but is now on hiatus.
I wonder if anyone has done one for the Disney Universe. That would be buckets of fun, getting to yell at all the purists of original fairytales. The only time you actually get to legitimately do it!
Would Torchwood be included with Dr. Who?
They do share a universe after all.
