I've already posted this on my other RPs but it doesn't look like I'm getting more stuff done over here so

SEMI HIATUS YOU GUYS

UNTIL UNI STOPS BEING A DICK

I have major work overload (which is to be expected on an art course but we're talking like three deadlines a week, no time for sleeeeeeep) and it's pretty much cut down my RP time to nothing, and when I AM RPing I should probably be working or sleeping and argleflargleblarg.

My activity will probably stay at about the same level, but now you know why and I can feel less guilty about it >.>

Dear Daltonites!

As Jeanette´s pointed out, the Valentine´s Day is in two weeks! The emails each of your characters received hints at what will happen. What you should expect is this:

On February 11th(because the V-day happens during the week and we realize the weekend is usually when people have more time), a post will come up. It´s going to be a mass thread, in a sense, where you can post your character´s love notes.

Feel free to send notes to anyone, teachers included. Feel free to spice it up using the NPC Dalton students. Most notes will get through, especially in the morning hours, but the most inappropriate ones will be censored. However, if anyone volunteers their character to read those notes, this character can of course save them/remember them and deliver them later in person if they want. Up to you. Each note will be a header to a subthread and if your character wants to react to a certain note - show us the reaction! Threading welcome and encouraged.

We are announcing this in advance so that if you want to plot something for the event, you have the time to do so :)

On Friday, 17th, we will post a mass thread for the Valentine´s Day Dance. The attendance is not mandatory but encouraged and some teachers (especially those that will have to suffer through the event as chaperons) will badger the boys to attend throughout the whole previous week. If not longer.

The dance will be in cooperation with Haverstone Academy, which brings us to the most important OOC update. We´ve noticed around Tumblr and elsewhere that there is desire for more het and stuff. This is difficult to do since the Dalton Academy has a single female student and the game that hosted the girls is, to my knowledge, dead. Therefore from now on, if you want to apply a Haverstone girl for your minor/fourth character, go ahead and do it. We´ll be really happy if you do. If you have a pre-existing female character you´ve played here that you´d like to keep, just point us to her and we´ll add her - no need to reapply. If you want to apply a new one, just go ahead and do it the same way as if you were applying a Dalton boy. Those characters will be considered minor characters and therefore you do not need to worry about their activity.

Of course, you´re encouraged to have your characters organize something themselves in addition (*coughhorrormarathoncough*).

As always, any questions, concerns, feedback, whatever - we want your input! Let us know!

Love,
Your mod team,
Josh and Tina

PS: We´ve both been craving OOC group chats. Anyone else misses daltonrocks? Because we do. So much. But since no one seem to be able to get into that chatroom anymore... Give us suggestions for a new chatroom name! Should we establish a date and time for our first official chat in the new room or should we simply start treating it the same way as we used to treat daltonrocks? You know - if you feel like chatting, just enter the room and wait for someone to show up?
