ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jul 30
Jul. 30th, 2018 10:30 amLast one for the road.
- The comms will be closed tomorrow, July 31 at 11:59 PM MT. This means that no new posts will be allowed in
gooseberryhigh or
goose_ooc. - You will still be able to post comments and edit your existing posts. So if you have a log you're still working on, you can post a placeholder now, or you can find room for it in the Looking Back meme. If you want to do one last journal shitpost, you can do it now and people can keep tagging convos indefinitely.
- All characters (in 2015) know that the magical journal system will be shut down on Aug 1. (Everyone in 2025 will just have to use their imaginations about the shitposts that are happening in the future.)
- If you haven't already, we welcome you to join
campers to keep in touch with everyone after the game ends. You can track the current chatter post and post whatever you want in the comm!!!! - Thank you for everything. ♥ It's been an adventure. This is goodbye from your Gooseberry mods, but hopefully not goodbye from Meggie and Marin. :)
new ooc community
Jul. 24th, 2018 10:20 amHello everyone! A little while ago we asked you all about creating an OOC social community for us all to keep in touch after Gooseberry ends, and it's now open:
campers
You'll find Chatter Post #14 there along with our very very sparse rules :) If you're a member of Gooseberry, you're welcome to join the comm and comment!!

REUNION DELAY
Jul. 13th, 2018 05:48 pm... Sorry everyone, but the 10 Year Reunion IC/OOC is going to be delayed until tomorrow. Feel free to write posts as though they've arrived this afternoon and seen one another in person, though!
Love you,
M&M

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jul 7
Jul. 7th, 2018 09:49 pmHello everyone! Here's details on how to handle the remaining three weeks of game: ( IC post-game details )
What does this mean for you?
♥ Meggie & Marin
What does this mean for you?
- Starting tomorrow, you can post journal entries/comments, IC/OOCs, letters, etc. like normal. It's summer vacation! PLOT HERE about your characters' activities for the past two weeks.
- Although graduates can't post on the journals, they are allowed to show up in any summer IC/OOCs or to send mail to current characters.
- Your mods are off-duty except for two posts we'll do sometime soon: the "Where Are They Now?" meme (for discussion of your characters' futures) and the 10 Year Reunion IC/OOC. All former students of Gooseberry will be invited to the reunion, regardless of when they attended.
- Tue, Jul 31 will be the last day of the game. You will still be able to backtag for as long as you want, but no new posts will be allowed in either the IC or OOC comms as of Aug 1. Everything will stand as a record of the incredible love and work we've all put into this game for the past two years.
♥ Meggie & Marin
ENDGAME EXTENSION + PLOTTING
Jun. 29th, 2018 09:51 amHi everyone! We've talked with our NPC mods, and we've decided to extend endgame through to Wednesday, with the finale probably going on Wednesday night or Thursday. We're likely going to be decreasing the number of sacrifice rounds so that people can traverse the map more quickly. We may end the sacrifice rounds entirely during the extension, so if you definitely want to get another shot at one, make sure you get to a sacrifice round by Sunday night.
But this is the point where we need to go into overdrive making sure everyone gets the experience they wanted. Fill out the form below, which will let us know the major story beats you want your characters to hit before we wrap everything up.
Character Name:
Death: Does this character need to die? How soon, and in what way?
Bare minimum: Please list 3 or fewer things you absolutely want to happen to your character before endgame ends. These can be rescuing a certain person, getting to kill a mimic, making a specific sacrifice, etc.
Other plans: List things you'd LIKE to happen to your character, but would be okay if there wasn't time for it, or if it didn't end up happening. This can include items like facing their own mimic or running into Grimshaw. (Note: I'm not taking requests for these random events, but if I know you're interested I'll keep my eyes on your group.)
Anything else?:

ANNOUNCEMENT: +1 mimic for everyone!
Jun. 27th, 2018 10:12 amHey everyone, we have a special announcement! Now that endgame has kicked off and is running smoothly, we've decided you can have four active participants. This means that if you'd like to bring it one more of your reserves as a strong mimic, you can!
Just request them here and then get to tormenting your friends! :)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jun 21
Jun. 21st, 2018 05:00 pm- Endgame starts on Sat, Jun 23! We still have a ton of prep work left on our to-do lists, so we're not 100% sure what time we'll start, but we're doing our best to make sure you'll have something to do on Saturday morning.
- We have small metaplot events planned for tonight and for tomorrow, so keep an eye out!
- If you want to participate, please make sure you SIGN UP your characters by the end of today.
- Check out the planning spreadsheet if you haven't already! You don't need everything set in stone yet, but if you've got particular ideas you wanted to do, you should coordinate with the players you want to interact with.
- Please complete your sacrifice memes for your participating characters by Friday night. At minimum you should do your rescuers. If you're stumped, just do the permissions and hard no's; anything else you can edit in later. @MARIN DO THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
- The house points tally for May/June will go up later today! Just as soon as Marin gets off work and figures out flavour text????
- Thanks for coming on this journey with us. We've got plenty of surprises planned, and we hope you enjoy them. ♥
NPC PATRONUSES (patronii..?)
Jun. 20th, 2018 10:54 pmSince the game is ending soon, we thought you guys might enjoy a little trivia. ( Time for NPC patronuses! )
END GAME PLOT PLANNING
Jun. 17th, 2018 08:00 pmY2 END GAME OVERVIEW
This document is pretty long, but given that we're hoping Y2 endgame will be much more player-driven, we need everyone to understand what your characters will be in for. So please read it over carefully!
( More details... )
PETITION EVENT: A DISTURBING DISCOVERY
Jun. 13th, 2018 10:15 amWithin the next week, one or two students will come across a disturbing/gross discovery. This will be a potentially traumatic event that will be solidly in the horror genre, so keep that in mind. We can't give you any more details at the moment! You have until Sunday, June 17, 11:59 PM MT.
Heeey, I'm Megan, and fair warning, I've never RP'd on dreamwidth specifically, but ANYWAYS, I'm bringing you Violet McGonagall.
She's an Azurcrest sophomore, a History of Magic nerd, a gossip who is trying to be better -- she promises, and a very outgoing girl. Okay, the last part is a bit of an act, but you wouldn't know it from the way she behaves. She's an exchange student from Hogwarts that decided to stay -- both for the social life she gained her and the improved quality of life in History of Magic classes from attending here.
Looking for ALL THE LINES you wanna give me, btw.

Jun. 9th, 2018 05:37 amIm bringing you Seth Picklesmire, he's a young dude that has never felt he's at all that interesting. He is Canadian-Puertorican and is fluent in both Spanish and English. He lived most of his childhood with his maternal family while his parents did doctor stuff. From his years studying among No-Majs, he's developed a love for video games. This carried over even after he moved away and was among other wizzards. He/his family currently lives in Florida.
His classes are: Charms, Potions, Hermeticism, History of Magic, Transfigurations, Artificing, Magical Rudiments, Aesthetic Magic.
