I think I'm the only one who's made changes in the past month and a half. Too much real life?

Of course, November is NaNoWriMo, so I'm definitely not doing anything for the next three weeks... once that's out of the way, I plan on undertaking a major edit of the whole thing. That might entail cutting out long diversions and discussions on What To Do Next, since they can probably be shifted to later lectures, if we do those. But I won't actually /delete/ anything - just move it to another file so we can debate it.
I might also split it into either chapters or multiple lectures - that story really is far too long.

Just what it says on the tin. The staff are course coordinators and other staff from various OFUs, the Headmistress is, well, best not to say ;), and the lessons consist of video'd lectures where the staff walk through a Sueniversity/very bad ripoff OFU and deconstruct it like a PPC mission. Jury's still out on whether that will conclude with deconstruction like explosions.

Wait, there's a Headmistress? by

Also, Tawaki, yeah--too much RL. Going through OFU^2 and adding in my character(s)' reactions has been on my list of things to do for a couple of months, but, well...university. Ironically, actually. I will get to it eventually, though...

And given the traditional identity of OFU heads, it should be pretty obvious who it is. Of course, since she's not actually involved in the project, I assume it's an honorary position.

So we'd be talking about the creator of OFUs herself, then?
...you know, that really is pretty obvious in hindsight.

... as the question of who OFUM's head was. I still think Miss Cam's answer on her FAQ is classic.
Who's the Headmaster? It's Tolkien, isn't it?
Well, gee, what gave you that idea? The part where I *spelt it out in clouds*?

Also, I have never seen the FAQ before, and am now going to go read it (them? Is it them? Hm...).

*also makes a guess* :P
Given none of the heads of other OFUs have ever been involved in the writing of them, I think it's a safe assumption. But an awesome one. :D
