As per request (sort of), we now have a toggle c-box! To make it appear and disappear, all you have to do is press the little red arrow on the left side of the site. Those of you who have smaller screens and were having part of the forum blocked can now hide the c-box, no problem.

...Don’t just hide it 24/7 and not say hi to us, though. Love us. D:

Hey!! I registered on the site and the little shoutbox (I don't know the name in english, sorry, is that little box where you can just talk/flood freely on the side of the forum) is bothering me a bit? I've tried to adjust the settings on my laptop but the thing is over 30% of the side of the forum and sometimes it doesn't help me visualizing things :( (but that's the only problem I seemed to enconter; everythign else is perfect and I can't wait to start writing!!)

Hi!!! I’m so sorry that’s giving you a hard time!

As soon as I am able, I will go ahead and make that cbox a pop out, so you can click a little button and make it disappear. If you’re having that problem, many others might be as well (and, even if they’re not, members’ comfort is definitely one of our biggest priorities, so if even one of you is having a hard time visualizing things with that there, that’s enough for us to do something about it)!

WIZARDING SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD: SALEM

Originally an all-girl school, the Salem Witches’ Institute opened its doors to wizards at the turn of the 20th century. Contrary to popular belief, there are no lingering ghosts from the Salem witch trials on campus or in the city because none of the convicted were actual magic folks; despite this, the magical community remains wary of muggle attention. Classes at the institute are therefore located all over the city in different buildings which are only accessible at certain times of the day, and can only be entered through magical means. The same door that leads to a coffee shop, for example, would also serve as the entrance to the school library for the students who know the correct password and hopes to access the building during its operational hours. For this reason, the institute refrains from implementing strict uniform policies, which stands in stark contrast to the very formal dressing practices of the Preparatory Academy of Magic in Louisiana. Every year during Hallowe’en, students like to crash house parties and perform simple spells to get a kick out of the bewilderment of muggles.

We open in approximately two hours, everyone!

Right now, I’m compiling some of the asks we received during the site buzz period to put in a “frequently asked questions” thread. All those questions we got about werewolves and vampires and kinds of faculty will be in there... but is there anything else you guys would like to know? Shoot us an ask if you have a question that you think should be included in the site’s FAQ.

Since the school year is nearly here, we’re going to post a couple questions from a meme that popped up on my (Jamie) dashboard, for you to consider and post either in third-person or IC as your character(s)! It’ll be fun to feel out your kids before you have to work on their applications, y/y?

school subject asks

algebra: can you empathize with others?

art: how do you feel most comfortable expressing yourself?

calculus: if you don't understand something, are you more likely to give up or try harder?

chemistry: do you make it obvious when you dislike someone?

environmental science: is moral fulfillment important to you?

geometry: list 3 of your favorite physical traits

government: what's your political stance?

history: if you make a mistake once, how likely are you to repeat it?

literature: do you have a favorite quote?

physical education: do you work out? how do you feel about your appearance?

reading: what's your favorite children's book?

science: are there any personality traits you can't stand?

writing: write me a poem

i'm very excited for this rp to happen! it seems like lot's of the reserves have poc and that's so great? also your planning/posting/reblogging is great =) thank you the team behind this for making this happen!

We’re extremely excited, too! One of the things we wanted to encourage was definitely diversity (a page or two back on the blog, you’ll find a post we made listing some poc face claim resources), so the number of non-white reserves is wonderful to see. :)

Thank you for your kind words. I’m so happy that you’re excited!
