Assorted modly stuff.
As you have read in the rules, we'll have activity checks at the end of each month - usually around the 23/24, in order to give you a week to get ready. However, since we're still introducing our first characters, there won't be an activity check for August.
As a reminder, the minimum requirement at the end of each month will be of two pieces of activity per character. A piece of activity can either be:
* a post with at least 100 words or five sentences
* a thread/log with at least five comments from your character
* an owl message
* a complete narrative
* a hiatus note if you've been absent for a week or more
Secondly, the plot post for September will be posted on the 28th, and will feature such events as the students' return to Hogwarts, and Draco Malfoy, the Amazing Bouncing Ferret! If you have any ideas for incidents that should feature in the calendar, like someone accidentally transfiguring their fellow student into a pineapple or a disturbing encounter with Moaning Myrtle, let us know so that it can be added to the list.
Also, in two days time the Quidditch World Cup final will take place. For that reason, we'll be having two IC/OOC posts (one for the game and another for the Death Eater riot) where those of you with characters attending the game can thread and/or comment as much as you want about the game and the Death Eater riot later on. If you prefer, of course, you can just have your character post about it in their journal.
And finally, I'd like to point out that, with the exception of Rita Skeeter (whose acid green quill is sure to cause some damages in a few days' time), all non-playable canon characters are up for grabs. The teaching staff icons that you can see at![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
gobletnpc are just placeholders in case any of them might be needed for a thread, and can be replaced by another PB of your choice if you decide to claim any of them for yourself. To make a claim, just log into the NPC journal and add your name either to the keywords of the icon description.
If you have any question that hasn't been answered in this post, just leave a comment. I'll reply asap!
