Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one.

It is pretty fun, though.
And important!
But most people still in school don't really care, I guess?

I think they let homeschool kids join clubs at school.
If that's a thing you want to do.

you can't force people to read, after all... but you *can* still have fun with it!
being part of the newspaper is something i'd like to do, but i'm also past high school age. just turned 19! think i can still sneak in?

[notyourutopian]

Probably not.
They get kind of weirded out when strange adults wander around the school.

Guess you'll just have to work for a real newspaper!

aww but it's not the same!

WHAT IF!!! you guys take me as an ~adviser~
stuff like photography i can supervise or help out or keep things organized
or make something up, help me out here

I already have a strange adult who takes pictures for the paper.
And he graduated from there so I can sneak him in probably.

You'll just have to settle for a real paper.
Or starting a blog.

You could have your own blog! Isn't that exciting?

[No. No it is not exciting, Eleanor.]

i actually do have my own blog! i started it when i was twelve and wanted to show people how different gulls look depending on what coastline you're at
but it's also something i do on my own, and that's not as fun as being in a club with editors and deadlines
if it's between that and real papers though... i'm not sure many people even read non-school papers!
