Hey guys! This will be a long one, so bear with me.
Sorting
Oh wow, this is a good present for everyone, which is sorting! Everyone's favorite time of year! One of mine too, just not my absolute favorite. Anyway, as you can tell, sorting has kicked off to a very nice start. Come here for the instructions on how to sort.
With sorting, comes transfers. If you have a student in the other students group and want to attend, you will have to apply and treat it like a special application. Only half are approved or less than half, so be weary of that, and use that to make your application stand out. And, have a backup planned just in case yours is not chosen. The link above includes that as well.
Y29 Closed
Now, my favorite time of year would be group promotions. Not prefects and head people, but seeing my babies age. Also horrifying but I digress. But, with the last year of the twenties gone, that means that the RPs that take place in Y29 in the school, the first years of Y30 cannot join. Time paradoxes and stuff.
Final Quidditch Match
We had the final Quidditch game of Y29, with the combination of schools! You can read about the exciting game of where Gryffindor got their butts handed to them here.
New Group
As we all voted in the poll, the admins have given up a pretty pink, in relation to the magical group, of other students group where the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang have collapsed into one. The announcement can be read and constructive criticism will be welcomed. Although, keep in mind that we still have our netiquette as well. It applies to all of the board, including the changes that are made.
Club Leaders
All club leaders have been notified of a PM that is on your account leader. You will need to check it and reply back to it as soon as possible.
Gratitude
For the professors that are currently with us, thank you for all your services that brought Y29 to a great close! Your work is key to keep this site running, and we appreciate you all so much!
Career Fair
Those that have PMed to be apart of the Career fair, which goes up on Wednesday this week. You all have been notified and when the career fair is set up, you all will be free to post! And remember, kiddies, be sure to talk to all the career people there! Send your students for more questions for more than just the ministry!

Applications: Closed
Sorry folks, this time of year (being in the holiday season doesn't help either but great timing!) brings upon cheer and glee, especially to the admins that have closed down the applications to focus only on sorting. Be patient, my friends, as they will open after sorting. So, you can have your fresh meat, er, graduates enter the real world and get that job in the Ministry if you so want.
Shops for Sale
It is hard to believe that we have four applications in total! We need you all to hurry and get to applying, since shopkeeper and professor applications are the only ones open. It would be a great chance for your new graduate! Below is the list to all the stores that are available for "purchase".
Hog's Head
Gambol & Japes
Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour
Three Broomsticks
Hiring!
Also, in addition to the shopkeeper applications, we have four professor positions open! Some are temporary and some are not, but either way, I urge you to apply and become part of the team! There may be another one added, so be on the lookout!
Flying (Temporary)
Care of Magical Creatures 3-4
Astronomy 1-4
Potions 5-7
Last Update
This is the last Bi-Weekly update of the year! So, don't be expecting one until next year, which is like, three weeks away. Mind blowing, isn't it? Anyway, this will be a big one regardless, since there is a ton of new things happening!
Christmas Theme
With the Christmas holidays coming up, if you have not noticed (which if you are on classic like a n00b) then you will need to look to the top and see the berries. At the bottom, there is ice on the hourglass. It does look nice with the Ravenclaw colors. Though, I think it would have looked better in green confetti.
Spotlight
The spotlight of this month, and the last one of the year, was November Albertson, aka Steph! Come here for the announcement, and all the links that have attracted the spotlight to her!
Werewolf
I hear a few howls, and it isn't from the werewolf meeting. Teigan is hosting the exciting game of werewolf, where even I am a part of! Come here to lurk all of the fun and arguments, as well as suspicion to everyone.
Secret Santa
Santa told me to tell you all to check your inboxes with the account that you have signed up for, in case you have not yet. If any of you have issues with the deadline, please forward it to Santa, aka, Pat!

Thanks for posting all of this fun stuff!
 
Thanks for the update, Kaitlyn!!

I love the updates to HNZ's history page - it's really awesome to be able to look back on what's happened over the years.

All of those professor roles always get me tempted to apply, but I know I can't :lol: I look forward to seeing the new recruits, though! :party:

Also really excited about the career fair. It's going to be fun both for the students and the adults!!

Thanks again, and happy holidays everyone :hug:
 
Last one and it's just so full this time! Thanks Kaitlyn for putting together and posting it everything looks so wonderful! Another year has gone by and I can't believe the kiddos are getting so old once again. It feels like my out of school characters haven't aged a day the past few ic years but little November has gone from 3rd to 5th in a blink of an eye!

I'm so excited for all the upcoming stuff and seeing how everything turns out after sorting and all the new plots! Also Secret Santa I can't wait for all the presents to be revealed!
 
Thanks for posting all of this, Kaitlyn! So much stuff happening and I'm literally just as busy off site as I am on xD

In addition to transfers, professor applications will also be closing mid-week. If you were thinking of applying, we encourage you to do so! Professors are an extremely important part of the site. There are plenty of options, both temporary and permanent for all different levels of experience with professors. ^_^
