••• general
number one rule: All posts are to be written in the third person. eg. “Dylan opened his book. He felt a shiver of surprise when he saw that it belonged to his great aunt's fish.”
not “I opened my book. I felt a shiver of surprise when I saw that it belonged to my great aunt's fish.” Please please please... NO!

Again, big no no. Must be “Dylan opened his book. He felt a ...”
number three: Please make sure your display names are that of your characters. I really don't wanna see fluffytreehobbit676 running around...
number four: Grammar grammar grammar people... And spell check... he's your biggest buddy that keeps away grumpy admins...

final number: Respect! Everyone has feelings and personal attacks and affair are not to be dealt with on tis forum.
••• in character
Min 300 words per post. If you reply to someone you has poured all their effort into their post, please do the same for them.
Your character can’t always be the hero! They may have one moment but realistically don’t think that each bad thread your character is save the whole school with the twitch of an eyebrow.
NO MARY SUES! No! Every character needs flaws. If they don't, they won't be accepted. The end of it. Same with oh my life is terrible-- the world is against-- all the time! It's tedious and difficult to rp with. And you're character has no substance. Drama queens and kings too... No “my pet sneezed, so he's going to die and the world is going to end-- So hence, I shall jump off the nearest bridge unless someone kisses me and becomes bound to me forever in holy matrimony...” Just... No
Be realistic please. You also need to understand that your character is limited to the year they are in. If you are a first year you’re not going to be performing unforgivable curses any time soon, nor are you going to overthrow a 7th year in full power, or be able to use magic without uttering the words. And you're not going to be an animagus. No, you're not... it's impossible...
Ok, so another thing to consider: LOVE DOES NOT SPARK OFF THE MINUTE YOU ENCOUNTER THE OPPISITE SEX! Love takes time to develop, so no lovers in one week thing.
[Yes, I'm aware of love at first sight, but that's not gonna happen with every freaking couple]
Ok, so now we got the next thing.. Please read through the whole post you are replying to. Even if it's really long. In case you miss a very important detail and then-- the thread is useless...
ANY special abilities (including being an animagus or wandless magic etc) are to be applied for. We are opened minded so don't worry. We need to keeps tabs on it though so we don't end up with an invincible demi god called ((fluffy hobbit)) Hint hint... Key word
Enjoy
