That's right, Chapter Five of OFUTRC is out!
Well, technically, it was out a couple of days ago, but we forgot to plug it.
Anyway! Here's the link! Enjoy!

Fantastically done! And, um, Seishirou and Fei Wong Reed! Heh. *grins*
*pokes the hiragana and kanji for Syaoran's name* …huh. That's interesting. And it looks better with 'y', 'sides.
Yay!
Wonderfully evil! :]
You made my day. Thanks muchly. =D
Very nice. I liked weapons class. :P Do you know, I'd forgotten what weapon I picked for my fanbrat? I remember now, though.
Looking forward to more. =)
Nice chapter. I've always liked this OFU, the Tsubasa continuum is fun... I hope to see more soon! And no story death, please, it's happened to too many fanfic universities.
One more thing. Is enrollment still open, and do you actually have to write fic to be able to sign up? If not, I'd like to.
But late applicants will be punished with pain. Fufufu...
The only effect Legendary Badfics have on me is that they induce pure cold fury, so that won't be much of a problem... Now, the only thing I'm having trouble with is what I should wish for and how I should pay for it.
That's Miss Cass' job. Miss Angel just likes to drop very heavy things on your head (or drop your head onto a very heavy thing) for no particular reason. Fire also sounds like fun but Miss Cass wants her to save that for the end of the term.
Anyway, the amount of objects (in reserve) that will fall on my head when I finally do join is probably going to increase, as I'm still having a problem figuring out what to wish for. No, it isn't going to be dimensional travel. I'd just bring a towel and attempt to hitchhike with someone, in any case.
If not, you had better wish for one. As payment, Yuuko will take your shampoo.
That might actually be a good idea, asking for a dimensional travel-capable hitchhiker's towel. Although I should probably just try to think of an appropriate price for some sort of cool gift, like the talent of erasure from Demons Don't Dream (one of Piers Anthony's Xanth novels, where the talent is a prize for winning the game Companions of Xanth).
On another subject, if someone were to wish for immortality (quite possible, seeing as Yuuko can create gods if she wants to), I would think that an appropriate price would be as such: The person can feel pain, and even lose their sanity for a period of time, but no matter what lengths they go to to die, or how sick they get of life, they are unable to leave the mortal plane permanently. Plus, they are cursed in such a way that events are always arranged to cause them trouble, and frequently at that. As an example, the person is inexplicably disintegrated. Said person must then spend decades dragging back and reassembling their atomized, very much scattered (by a convenient gust of wind) body, or remain as clusters of free-floating atoms.
I don't think Yuuko can create Gods so much. She might be able to give people powers but it's all strictly on her terms. I don't think she can give people immortality either. Well, she might be able to but she wouldn't due to the whole Space Time Continuum thing. She's got this thing about not letting people come back from the dead, so eternally putting off death is probably a no no too. Death is inevitable, after all.
That'll teach me not to listen to random info from the Internet (in most cases), and just read/watch Tsubasa already. Although I am still wondering what the erasure talent would cost. Something fairly high, I'm sure, seeing as it means anything can be erased and un-erased at will.
Yes, you must definently read Tsuabsa. You can find it in most bookstores that stock manga, along with most online manga readers. The latest chapter just came out and it is made of so much awesome I had to read it twice before I could stop squeeling.
Nevermind that. I just remembered it's only usable in Xanth. *facepalm* I'll just take that towel, because I need something to hitchhike with.
*scoops up Tsuabsa the mini-kiji and takes it back to the OFU*
We certainly hope there won't be any story death, and with the authors as determined as they are (one of them likes prodding people to make them do things they're supposed to be doing), it shouldn't happen, though there may be fairly long waits between chapters.
As for your questions: yes, enrollment is still open (unless Oozaru's closed it without telling me), and no, you don't have to write TRC fanfic to join. Several of our students' authors don't even know the continuum, they signed up out of sheer masochistic curiosity. The enrollment form is on the OFUTRC LJ, it's the first post we made. Just copypaste it, fill in the answers to make a fanbrat, and email me the result. My email is cassie.dramateacher at gmail.com (with obvious alterations).
Fanbrat-you should appear in the next chapter, as we're trying to make sure we cameo everyone fairly.
And thank you again, we don't get much feedback on our work, and it's nice to know people do enjoy it.
