ANNOUNCEMENT & QUESTIONNAIRE
I swear there will be fewer announcements in the future.

So, reminder that the mods are going to both be out of town for about 10 days, starting tomorrow night. All apps and questions we receive today will get a response, but tomorrow on out, I can't guarantee anything. We'll still have internet access, but we won't be our usual super-responsive selves!

We made some clarifications to how the emblems behave, because we think there's been a little confusion about how they talk to students. If your sorting contradicts the clarifications a little, don't worry, although you're welcome to revise if you want to!

Since the turnout honestly shocked us and we'd like to make sophomores a little more appealing, we've added Ariadne Flint (exchange student) to Ebonhide and Cassius Holcomb (pureblood) to Coppertale, on the Student Roster.

We're going to be putting together a big spreadsheet of all kinds of character info for an easy reference, but to make our lives easier, we'd appreciate if you all filled out this handy form! Some of this info is important, some of it is just fluff. ~~Some of it the mods may use later to scare your character!~~

Name:
Hometown: Where they live currently, and anywhere else they lived for a significant period of time.
What school(s) did they go to before Gooseberry: If you didn't invent any schools for your character, you don't have to now. If you have (or if they attended a canon HP school), tell us which ones and how long they went.
What year did they begin at Gooseberry: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior
What year did they begin on Quidditch/Cheer: If applicable. Also specify when they were a reserve.
Gooseberry House:
Ilvermorny House: Even if they didn't go to Ilvermorny, list their ~theoretical~ house. Feel free to explain why. We are curious creatures.
Hogwarts House: Ditto!
Patronus: Optional. Even if they can't cast them yet. FYI, at Gooseberry, Seniors are taught to cast patronuses in DADA. It's still very difficult.
Boggart: Optional. C'mon, what are you afraid of? You can tell us.
Plot Suggestions: Optional. Do you have an idea for an event on the plot calendar? We might not use it, since we do have an overarching meta-plot we're building, but in months to come you may see your idea pop up. Supernatural and mundane suggestions are welcome.

SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Gooseberry just hit 50+ characters, which means the game is now so big that you all briefly broke the Cast List. :|

Don't throw a wild party while mom & mom are out of the house!
♥, M&M

Name: Nathaniel Bird
Hometown: Hammett, ID.
What school(s) did they go to before Gooseberry: Ilvermorny
What year did they begin at Gooseberry: Freshman
What year did they begin on Quidditch/Cheer: n/a
Gooseberry House: Ebonhide
Ilvermorny House: Horned Serpent, because he is a ~scholar~.
Hogwarts House: Either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, but I think Hufflepuff would have won out. Nate is smart and wants to learn ALL THE THINGS, but it's really more about working (way too) hard, even when you want to just COLLAPSE, than about gathering knowledge. Also, he's just SUCH A NICE KID, HE JUST WANTS US ALL TO GET ALONG.
Patronus: lmao i just realized I forgot about DADA for Nate and now he has too many classes to take it, someone must have told him it was PERFECTLY FINE TO NOT TAKE EVERY DAMN CLASS. /not terribly relevant, beginning relevance now. PATRONUS WOULD BE A GOAT. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I LOVE GOATS.
Boggart: He definitely has anxiety dreams in which he misread his schedule and missed all of his classes and Ms. Rhee tells him he has to redo his senior year of school, so something like that. He's basically Hermione isn't he.
Plot Suggestions: SEE ABOVE RE: YOU BEING GREAT

	trivia: i recently told an applicant that taking 8 classes plus animagus studies would probably give you a mental breakdown (although it's not impossible to do) can you guess which student i was thinking of when i said this (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	LMAO nate is officially the poster child for taking high school way too seriously. I have a feeling Ms. Rhee had to talk him down to eight classes plus Animagus studies. (Reply to this) (Parent)
