I think I remember seeing the resurrection of students as a throwaway gag in the sequel to OFUM, but I don't know if that applies to other OFUs. Does it depend on whether the canon can bring people back from the dead? Would it be possible because, in OFUR, the students are not in their original bodies, so we can just put them in a new one if their current fursona form gets destroyed?

Can OFUs bring students back from the dead? by Laburnum on 2008-12-01 23:59:00 UTC

We had a lot of trouble with that one. by Oozaru Angel on 2008-12-02 03:23:00 UTC Reply

Because one of the main themes of TRC is not bringing back the dead. One guy tried and apparently nearly ripped Time and Space itself apart. We're mainly avoiding the issue but I think in other worlds, if there's a canonical afterlife and such, the Headmaster's intervention should be enough to bring them back.

If the universe has a canonical afterlife, it's probably possible, especially with the Headmaster's intervention.

The canon has a ghost-thing, and one near-death experience. by Laburnum on 2008-12-02 00:19:00 UTC Reply

So I think we could do it.

Maybe during the Designated Yearly Emergency, whatever it is they use to bring the students back stops working for some reason? That way we can keep some drama in it - I realise OFUs are supposed to be funny, but I think SOME tension when we get to actual plot would be nice.

...are you still accepting applications? Or will there be a next year? *booboo face*

... I wouldn't hold your breath for the next year. We may re-open apps later, but currently we're overflowing. Sorry. To make up for it, which is your favourite canon character? We'll show them doing something cool.

Ruggan Bor, or perhaps Romsca. Maybe I just like names beginning in R.
