Ending Y46! Folks, I know I say this a lot, but the end of this IC has very much taken me by surprise. I can't believe it's here. House Cup The winner of the house cup is Ravenclaw!! Finally! Slytherin have been dethroned as the reigning house winners. It was almost for a third or fourth year in a row, but Ravenclaw finally did it, winning by a very comfortable margin. Congratulations to all those in Ravenclaw who helped them get this ahead. Also a massive shout out to the other houses, and to all those who put in the work and got points for their house. Very soon the end of year feast will be posted very soon, and we'll update this when it's been posted. Graduation As always with the end of the year, graduation is in progress! Head...

🌟 Another month, another spotlight! 🌟 As most, if not all, of you know we like to use the start of each new month to celebrate one of your characters that has caught our attention for one reason or another. This could be an incredible biography, intriguing plots or a remarkable personality. Usually, it's a combination of a few factors that has left us impressed and willing to see more. Whatever the reason, a spotlighted character is one that we adore and the monthly spotlight is a great way for us to celebrate your creativity! This month we're spotlighting Margo Fox, RPed by Kadi! For more information on Margo make sure to check her bio right here! (Or check out her gorgeous aesthetic) As is tradition, we asked Kadi a couple of...

It's time for Sorting!! 🎉🎉 As usual, there are two routes for bringing new characters into the school for Y47 !! GET THEM SORTED! Sorting is the best & quickest way to bring a character into the school. The sorting hat places them in the best house for them, and they enter as a first year (11 years old). We recommend this to all new members on the board. We also encourage you to fill out the sorting form based on what your character is like (not what house you want them in :glare:) - there have been known to be some terrible things that happen to people who aim for a specific house. There are some changes to sorting, so we encourage you to thoroughly read through the information on sorting topic! TRANSFER THEM FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL...
