Unless anyone has any objections, I'm going to get things halfway started on Friday, the19th. I'll be all done with finals then and life will be shiny.
If no one objects, here's where I'm plotting to go with this.
December (Whoa. Why did no one call me on that?) January 1st will be our official 'starting' date. That'll be our in-game September 1st, and from there we'll just keep on cruising. Because I'm not the only impatient RPer, though... there is some stuff we can get started before the kiddies go to school.
Plot-wise, we can get rolling with the Pureblood elitist/whatever we call them's meeting at the European Cup if anyone wants to play it out (I think I may be the only one harboring villains right now, so...). If we do RP it, we'll have to keep in mind that Christmas is coming, so we may have to do some backdating if everyone gets accosted by family baring presents.
Regular RP-wise, we can get started with the kids and everyone interacting. We can have the Cup on Saturday (completely arbitrary dating going on here -- I'm completely open for suggestions), and Friday can definitely be the day those families closer to the port key let other families/kids stay the night. Definitely a chance for a giant Weasley/Potter reunion if nothing else.
While we're on this note... does anyone have a problem with December = September? It seemed best to start from the beginning of the school year for the start, so~.
Any other issues? Let me know! Most of my set-up has been done in the wee hours of the morning, so my eye for colour in the comm journals, or certain links may have suffered for my lack of wakefulness.
I've got more plot forming up in my head for our start-up day, but we'll get to that with the next update. Time for Jade to get some sleep.
