Slipping Away Tech

Okay, mod note.

So, today, the Daily Prophet has announced that Malfoy Manor was raided and Narcissa Malfoy taken into custody by aurors for the torture and murder of a couple of wizards.

For Remus, the full moon is tomorrow, December 21st. Also, for us astronomy geeks, the lunar eclipse is tonight!

Christmas hols begin after class today, and we have the Yule Ball tomorrow. If we have an rp that needs to be placed tonight, and it takes us forever to write it, just choose which character posts and make a members only placeholder spot until we get it written. that way, we can make sure it shows on the community page correctly. :)

This way, I won't forget. :D



Nov 4 — Gryffindor vs Slytherin

Nov 28 — Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw

Jan 21 — Ravenclaw vs Slytherin

Feb 17 — Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff

May 8 — Hufflepuff vs Slytherin

May 30 — Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw

Please have any story-formatted role plays beta'ed before they're posted to the SA community.

Thank you.

Now that I've got the Brit-picking info up, I want to go over one more reminder of what I'll be expecting when we post.

-Journals-

Always first person POV from the character. It should be written exactly as a journal entry. No character actions are permitted in the entries or the comment interactions.

Example:

Incorrect:

*Draco shrugged*

And what, exactly, do you expect me to do?

Correct:

And what, exactly, do you expect me to do?

-Community-

The community is for role-play and communication outside of the journals. This will usually take the form of two different options.

1. Owls, Howlers, and other post

Owls and other post will be formatted like this. The entry should be titled with who is writing the letter, and the name of the recipient, i.e.

Owl from Draco Malfoy to Narcissa Malfoy

The original correspondence should be placed in a single entry in the community journal. All following correspondence will be completed in the comments.

2. Role-play

Now, role-play can take place in one of two ways. You can either start a scenario in a community entry, and then proceed with the actual role-play in the comments, i.e.

Ginny was sitting in the common room, ripping open the packaging of a Chocolate Frog.

(Then continuing, in a comment)

         Harry stepped through the portrait hole, smiling once he noticed Ginny on the couch. "Hey, Ginny."

OR

Any players involved with a role-play can play it out, and then post the scenario in story form as one entry in the community, i.e.


And one last reminder: There should be no out of character posts or comments while using one of the character journals. 

Also, please remember that the characters are writing in physical journals. Characters will probably cart them around and talk about them, just like normal books.

For our own reference, here's a list of character sheets we need:
