ANNOUNCEMENT & QUESTIONNAIRE

[goosemods]

I swear there will be fewer announcements in the future.

• So, reminder that the mods are going to both be out of town for about 10 days, starting tomorrow night. All apps and questions we receive today will get a response, but tomorrow on out, I can't guarantee anything. We'll still have internet access, but we won't be our usual super-responsive selves!


• We made some clarifications to how the emblems behave, because we think there's been a little confusion about how they talk to students. If your sorting contradicts the clarifications a little, don't worry, although you're welcome to revise if you want to!


• Since the turnout honestly shocked us and we'd like to make sophomores a little more appealing, we've added Ariadne Flint (exchange student) to Ebonhide and Cassius Holcomb (pureblood) to Coppertale, on the Student Roster.


• We're going to be putting together a big spreadsheet of all kinds of character info for an easy reference, but to make our lives easier, we'd appreciate if you all filled out this handy form! Some of this info is important, some of it is just fluff. Some of it the mods may use later to scare your character!
  
  Name:
  Hometown: Where they live currently, and anywhere else they lived for a significant period of time.
  What school(s) did they go to before Gooseberry: If you didn't invent any schools for your character, you don't have to now. If you have (or if they attended a canon HP school), tell us which ones and how long they went.
  What year did they begin at Gooseberry: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior
  What year did they begin on Quidditch/Cheer: If applicable. Also specify when they were a reserve.
  Gooseberry House:
  Ilvermorny House: Even if they didn't go to Ilvermorny, list their ~theoretical~ house. Feel free to explain why. We are curious creatures.
  Hogwarts House: Ditto!
  Patronus: Optional. Even if they can't cast them yet. FYI, at Gooseberry, Seniors are taught to cast patronuses in DADA. It's still very difficult.
  Boggart: Optional. C'mon, what are you afraid of? You can tell us.
  Plot Suggestions: Optional. Do you have an idea for an event on the plot calendar? We might not use it, since we do have an overarching meta-plot we're building, but in months to come you may see your idea pop up. Supernatural and mundane suggestions are welcome.

• SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Gooseberry just hit 50+ characters, which means the game is now so big that you all briefly broke the Cast List. :|

Don't throw a wild party while mom & mom are out of the house!
