It's that time again! Yep, another two weeks have passed and it's time for us to give you guys the updates that you may or may not have noticed around the site.
Character Spotlight
Willow Autumn was chosen as this fortnight's spotlighted character after a careful search through biographies posted in the bio section of the site. Be sure to check out her bio, character development and relationships thread as we, the staff, feel that hers were awesome! Click here to see the official announcement. Congratulations again, Missy !
Be sure to work on your biographies and keep your character active, and you may find one of your characters being spotlighted one day!!
HNZ Style Coding Update
In order to save our tired eyes, Nick has worked out a code that removes style coding from any post. So, now the people who love to use coding can continue to do so and those who don't want to see the code can remove it before they read posts. For more information, go here to find out more.
Badges in HNZ
In order to recognize people who participate in the large events in both the school and other places around the site, badges will now be handed out. Each one is unique to the event that it is for and then will disappear...forever. If you want to read all about this new addition to the site and let us know what you think about it, just click here.
Acrostics Competition
MESSI thought up another wonderful competition for the fall season. Go check out the entries and congratulate Nick for having the winning entry!!
Count to ten before staff posts
I know many of you have already joined the fun (and getting lucky ), but for those of you who haven't and are up for a challenge, join us right here. The rules are simple and we hope to see you there!!
Fan fiction re-opened
It's only on a trial basis for now, but thanks to a suggestion submitted here, the fan-fiction section has been re-opened! If you want it to stay, it needs to be used, so get over there and post your fan-fiction, have an alternate roleplay or lurk. Whatever you choose to do, make sure you show that this part needs to stay by using it or it may go away again !!
The Return of Hogwarts Monthly
A new issue of the Hogwarts Monthly is now available. Be sure to read it to get your fix of what is happening in the school.
Welcome the new profs!
As you all know, the running of the school is one of the most important parts of HNZ. And, this can't be done without professors running each class. This term we have three new professors joining the ranks:
Professor Elizabeth Wang- Arithmancy 3rd and 4th Years
Professor Edmund Kreuz- Care of Magical Creatures 3rd and 4th Years
Professor Rebecca Ford- Divination 5th and 6th years
Welcome to you all !!!
Start of Lessons/ Apparation Lessons
Classes will be resuming very, very soon (as in tomorrow ) so get ready to have your characters return to classes from their holiday break. In addition, all sixth years will also have the opportunity to take apparation lessons.
Weve got a few plots to highlight for you this fortnight. Dont forget to keep sending them in!
Bartender bring me another one
Eric is lonely and has just about given up on love. He goes to a bar and settles in for a long night. Cameron just happens to be the bartender. Might he be the one that Eric has been looking for?
Now It's My Turn
Andrew Bruke is in the Poison Ater as he always is but this time he finds Adira Ater, his fiance taking his order. Andrew who thinks Adira loves him no more has betrayed her by being with other women and was looking forward to a break up but as he confess this to Adira and tells her about him being a Death Eater, she too reveals some secrets but whether Adira forgives Andrew and if their long lasting relationship continues is for you to find out.
All the people who have been following Andrew and Adiras relationship from the beginning will find it very interesting.
