Alright guys and gals! Summer is upon us, but not to worry, we have a few things lined up for everyone to get up to over the holidays!

ㄨ Our first port of call, beginning Friday, July 12th and running to Monday, July 15th will be a wizard rock festival, held in Aberdeenshire and hosting famous rock bands both old and new! The festival will last for a total of four days, and though attendance through the entire event isn't mandatory, it's best to arrive early so you don't end up pitching your tent in a ditch. There will be several different stages, with food and general facilities available throughout.

Just make sure that you wear plenty of sunscreen! Sunstroke is no joke.

ㄨ Later in the holidays, from Saturday, July 29th to Saturday, August 12th, there will be a non-mandatory school trip to Orlando, Florida. Though mostly for the benefit of the Muggle Studies students, it’s been opened to all students who might be interested in taking a trip across the pond. While Walt Disney world is certainly a major focal point, if that's not your scene, don't forget that there are many other attractions - SeaWorld, Epcot and Universal Studios, to name but a few! Most of the students are old enough to be trusted not to get into too much trouble, right?

ㄨ Finally, at the end of summer and running from Thursday the 25th to the Tuesday the 30th of August, there will be an inter-school quidditch tournament held at Hogwarts! The Hogwarts Express will be running an extra service, one week early, and though no one has to be there, what kind of impression would it make if the home team didn't make a good turnout to cheer their players on!

For this event, we will be taking applications from all years and all houses to fill the Hogwarts team, and using RNG results to decide which schools will win each rounds. The competing schools will be;

» Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
» Beauxbaxton’s Academy of Magic
» Durmstrang Institute
» The Salem Witches’ Institute
» Mahoutokoro

Due to the potential for large crowds at this event, it will also be an open fourth-wall! We encourage you to bring in any characters that you’d like to try out, to see how they work in the setting as well with as each other!

The latter two events will come with their own plotting posts, but please use this one to plot for the music festival, ask any questions, and of course to make any suggestions as to possible band names and Orlando attractions you’d like to see featured.

It's that time again! January is coming up and it's time to dust off the plot post and throw it up again for all your plotting needs.

We know that things have been difficult recently, for a variety of reasons, but please, everyone, don't lose hope! If you want cross-canon CR, maybe to work out a past between your character and another that you've seen around but haven't yet approached, or to start something new, now is the time to do it! Please don't post your comment and run away - help each other, tag around for new relationships and new plots - try to tag at least one person that you don't have any CR with!

The Yule Ball and Christmas holidays are coming up, and there's no time like the present for making new friends. So, with no further ado:

1. Make a thread for each of your characters. Do them separately and use subject lines for easy searching. Include their House and current year, that way you can catch anyone else they should know.
2. Tag the rumor thread with rumors for your characters only, unless you got the okay to include someone else.
3. Tag around to see if anyone is interested in plotting!
4. January will involve a duelling tournament. More info to be announced soon!

Well then, this is a plotting post for all your plotting needs.

Even if your character isn't participating in the event, you can use this post for plotting in general. Future shennanigans, establish past CR, whatever your plotting needs, this post is for you as well.

Remember, your character has roommates and people in the same year they should have some familiarity with! Use the character chart to see who your character has been sharing a room an/or classes with, and poke everyone you can! Make sure you include information to help everyone establish some past CR with your character, and remember, the rumour mill is still going, so...

1. Make a thread for each of you characters. Do them separately and use subject lines for easy searching. Include their House and current year, that way you can catch anyone else they should know.
2. Tag the rumor thread with rumors for your characters only, unless you got the okay to include someone else.
3. Tag around to see if anyone is interested in plotting!
4. Quidditch Season is about to start, so there'll be a lot going on! House rivalry, betting pools, there's a lot of possibilities!

For plotting specific to the Halloween Event, you can use the post where it was announced.

Hey guys, as you know, Winter Summer is coming and that leaves a lot of time for plotting! We know you all like using plurk, but we'd like you you to plot summer on the ooc comm because this way everyone can see it and hit people up for some fun.

So, how do we do this?

1. Make a thread for each of you characters. Do them separately and use subject lines for easy searching. Include their House and current year, that way you can catch anyone else they should know.
2. Tag other people for plot.
3. PLOT!


Go at it guys!
