wow the rp community here sucks

[gloriarp]

*raises hand* I have a question! Do we have an OOC blog o.o?

I just set one up, actually! If members would please send me an askbox message, I will invite them to the OOC blog. Thanks!

When is the RP officially open? Do we wait for everyone to turn in their accounts or are we allowed to start RPing?

You all are allowed to start rping! (:

Opinions/advice if possible? We're striving for a more advanced/para-based roleplay that focuses more on the writing rather than all the aesthetics. Feedback would be great! Thanks in advance (:

I was so excited to hear about your group… until i saw it was based off Harry Potter i was interested in joining but i know nothing about  good ol HP 

The whole premise of the role play isn’t anything new but is always a nice, open plot for the kind of role play you are trying to create! People never get old of iconic character’s and their future successors haha. You say you are not big on aesthetics but the header is very nice! I like the color you gave it! You have a good mix of popular, and not so popular, face claims which is the one big thing i was looking for in your role play! I’m guessing you don’t accept OCs? Thats a little disappointing for me because the whole premise just feels like the chance for OCs would thrive! But, the characters you have posted seem well thought out! I understand no OCs a little, as you have a family section but still???

Of course! 

Though you just said you're not focused on aesthetics, I think your theme and graphics are very nice. I personally think that while looks are not nearly as important as content, it still should look nice at least, and I think you've done a great job! 

I wasn't able to find a full plot, but I think the synopisis you have in the sidebar gives all the needed information. I would suggest adding a main navigation page where you can put every link, which leads me to my next point...

As a Harry Potter group, I think you may be a little lacking in the information department. A lot of the times with HP groups, I see a lot of supplemental pages like class schedules/classes offered, quiddich team lists, prefects/head boys and girls, etc. and I think it's a really great way to keep everything straight so that 1. players can quickly see who's who for connection reasons, but 2. so that players can't simply decide that their character is going to be a quiddich team captain or whatever, when there may already be one. Organization is key in any group of course, and with a group set in a the magical world, I think it's even more important!

I'll be honest, I was just a little underwhelmed by your bios. When I read that you were a group focused basically on literacy, I expected to have to read multi-paragraph in depth bios. Not that there is anything wrong with what you have at all! From the bios I read, you still give a good window into the character. 

I think this has a lot of potential! I wish you luck!
