a group of 8th graders on a trip to Washington D.C. discover that history is not as distant as they thought.
or: a school trip turns into a race against time as the past - and the afterlife - bleed into the present.

𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒.
1. Fill out every area of the form, and please, please, please go into detail! Everything is there for a reason!
2. Choose a faceclaim that is able to represent an eighth grader (age 13-14), or at least make sure there are a good amount of easily-accessible photos of them when they were young.
3. If you are accepted, please be active on the book - voting, commenting, etc. I may ask readers what they want to happen next at times, so you'll want to stay posted. Most - likely all - characters will be used as background characters at the very least, and a smaller amount will be accepted as the main cast. If you do not make it into the main cast, no hate, thanks!
4. Make your characters as unique and diverse as possible. We need cliches and drama - friend group drama, dating drama, stereotyped drama - but characters should not be onedimensional. Make them multifaceted - you're encouraged to think outside the box and break the rules! And do feel free to have your OCs be friends/exes/love interests, etc. with other OCs. If groups are not made clear, I will establish them myself.
5. The password is your OC's favorite place in D.C., favorite period of history, or favorite historical figure.

Welcome to my very first apply fic! Please be patient with me - I've never written an apply fic before and cannot promise quick updates. If there are any problems with the rules and form, let me know. I look forward to getting to know your characters and writing this story!
The plot of this story and all of the pictures are mine. They were thought of/experienced/taken by me and belong to me. Don't take my ideas and pictures, thanks. The cover was made by sadboyxo.
