After several failed attempts to make a "laptop compyuter" run on magic rather than electricity, Committee on Experimental Charms and the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office decided to build from the ground up what would eventually become the prototype version of the tablet. With the tablets, wizards could still write normally as they had been for years, but with added features that were not present on the journal network -- the Internet.
But with any new technology comes a new world of problems. Anyone can post anything they want online and the Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly are finding it hard to compete with these amateur journalists. Anyone and everyone can find a blog via a search engine, making privacy a thing of the past and putting jobs in danger if you've forgotten to ward. The speed and ease of Wiznet has attracted self-starters and hell raisers, professionals and new graduates, to use it for good, for evil, or for anonymous fun without a pesky thing like consequences... right?
Welcome to the future of wizarding communications. Welcome to WizNet.

In February of 1864 the followers of the dark wizard Giles Kemmler brought war to America in an attempt to rise to power. That June the followers of Kemmler managed to break through the defenses of the Washington Irving Academy and invade. Much of the school was destroyed in the battle, not to mention the destruction to the wizarding population. It was rebuilt after the war, and renamed, in an attempt to create something lasting from the time or turmoil as a symbol of progress and hope.
For the students of the WIA today, there doesn’t seem to be much of that progress anymore. The current headmistress is making life difficult for these kids, and seems to be out to eradicate all the joy of the high school experience. No groups larger than 8 can meet, no dances, and it looks like there are more awful changes on the horizon. Why would she do these things? Because it seems like it’s just for fun. The more insidious things are what worries some. Like who was she meeting so late at night? And why had those students gone missing? They are questions that some are still asking, and ones that probably should be answered soon...
Most Wanted:
Muggle haters, alternative lifestyles, Van Rippers, Athletes, Cheerleaders of all types, Pureblood fanatics, and all characters on the wanted page!

The gods have not faded away, or been reborn. They are not in high school. They have not forgotten who they were. They remember, because they still exist.
The Sumerians are still insular and superior, the Greeks still squabble amongst themselves more than they do with the other pantheons, and the Norse… well, with Loki on the loose and Ragnarok threatened, they have their hands full. How will they manage to coexist? How have they done so thus far? What happens when Anubis meets Hades? Or Thor challenges Nergal?
Come help us continue the myths.

A Dangerous Twist
What if the Battle of Hogwarts never happened? What if, after the giant fiasco of Gringott’s, Voldemort was able to figure out what was happening in order to get the Diadem of Ravenclaw and beat a hasty retreat with Nagini? What if, five years later, the war is still raging in Britain?
Voldemort is hiding, biding his time in a fortress that is known only to his closest and most devoted followers. There he has kept his last two horcruxes safe and secret, and from there, he rules Wizarding England , asserting his agenda of absolute power over the land. Those who follow him seek to eradicate the last of the muggleborns from Britain and recreate the world in their own pure image. So far, the muggles remain largely unaffected, but everyone knows it’s only a matter of time before they’re wiped out as well.
But there is resistance. The Order of the Phoenix is still fighting strong, smuggling out those they can and planning strikes against the Death Eaters. Harry Potter and his close friends work tirelessly to try and locate and destroy the last horcruxes, so they can finally kill Voldemort and end this war.
And caught in the middle is the ministry. Filled with the neutral, the cowardly, the bureaucrats only after their own power, and spies on both sides, the ministry seems more battleground than ruling body as both sides fight for control.
One thing is clear: the war has to end. But even if and when Voldemort is defeated, what happens then? Where do you begin to rebuild the world? How do you punish the wicked, or restart an economy? How do you begin to heal?
