Hey there, any former AAH members that may still belong to this community. I just wanted to say hello to everyone that I may have lost touch with in the year (!) since An Adventure at Hogwarts closed. If you like, reply letting me know how and what you're doing these days and any roleplaying projects you're involved in, etc. I'd love to hear from all of you. I miss you guys greatly.
Love,
Starky
Hello everyone.
Due to my crazy hectic schedule, I've had to resign from Adventure at Hogwarts.
I'll miss you guys lots, and you can always IM or Message me if you'd like to talk.
If anyone is interested as the maintainer of this community, just email me, and we'll work something out. LJ community ownership experience a plus.
It's been a great year, and I adore you all! Much love!
S.B.

Hey kids!
I've made some changes to the community, just for ease and sanity purposes. Well, perhaps not for you, but for me.
As of...before Christmas, if you'd like to post something to The Owlery, it will have to be pre-approved. So, if it's anything that is of timely importance, I ask that you send it at least three days ahead of time, or page me on Yahoo! messenger(mariana_lestrange_slytherin), and I'll make sure to get to it as soon as possible.
If anyone has any problems, feel free to page or email me with this new change. This will just give us all a bit more control about what goes up on the main community page, and perhaps what doesn't belong. That being said, I don't think I'll be doing any censoring, but this will allow us to catch any mistake postings, as well as perhaps stop people we don't know from joining and then posting.
Comments and/or Discussion can be held in the comments for this post.
Cheers, and a Happy New Year!
S.B.

Hello, my lovelies. ProfStark here with the latest news at An Adventure at Hogwarts RPG. I know, it's been awhile since I've done one of these newsletter thingies. Sorry 'bout that.
First of all, let me wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As everyone travels about on their vacations and cruises, board participation may slow down somewhat. Family things obviously take precedence over online things, so if you are too busy to post, don't worry about it. We'll be here when you return. ;)
As most of you know, the Head Girl position was recently put up for grabs as the previous one has become inactive. Each applicant had to submit an essay explaining why they would be the best for the job, and then the Admins voted. Verbena Twilight's Seventh Year Gryffindor character won the vote, and is now Head Girl. All the applications were lovely, and a special thanks to everyone who applied. It was a tough decision!
The Christmas holidays on the board will be starting shortly. Your character can either head home for the holidays (There is a "Home for the Holidays" forum in the Wider World just for that purpose), go home with a friend, or remain at the school, although of course there will be no classes during the holidays.
The official Quidditch cup tournament will be beginning soon on the Quidditch board. I've had several people ask who the referee will be, as OliverWood is taking a hiatus for an indeterminate length of time. Well, the answer to that question is : Me. I will do my best, and I'm sure I won't be able to fill Aaron's shoes, but my best is all I can do, so it will have to be good enough. hehe As soon as the current practice games are all wrapped up, I'll post a revised Quidditch schedule and we'll get the show on the road.
A quick reminder on playing nice and such -- I've had a few complaints from players that other players are "bossing them around" OOC. heh I'm sure you can all see how that would be annoying, so if you realise you're doing that to someone, please stop. Players, if you are having trouble with that and bringing it to the other person's attention privately does not avail you, contact an Admin and we'll mediate. Oftentimes it's a simple misunderstanding that can be quickly and easily remedied if the heat is kept low and tempers even. hehe
As everyone has probably noticed, classes are picking up in activity again, and we're very happy to have Kelly as Sprout, our new Professor Grubbly-Plank, and Miri as Flitwick. Things are definitely looking up in that department. All who have applied for other characters lately and have not yet heard back, forgive me. I've been busy in real life, and will process them shortly.
I do believe that's all the news! Have a safe and happy holiday season, everyone!

Who knew? Lols.
Maybe it's that I'm just confused. If I had to pick one defining emotion as of late, it would definately be confused. My mind is boggled as of late.
We had our last night of the show last night. It was our best performance, I think. It wasn't a packed house but the audience really responded well to the scenes.
Afterwards, we all decided we needed a cast party. We headed to Josh's house to eat Pocky, watch Anime and get buzzed. Fun Fun Fun.
Yeah...
I don't really like Mike. Well, it's more like he's a non blip on the radar. He's alright and everything but my stomach doesn't tumble when he's around.
Then why in the HELL did I end up sitting on the guest bed, kissing him (tenderly even) last night? I have little to no idea. There - atleast I'm honest about it.
I don't remember how it started, really, but it did. Nothing happened beyond that (I'm confused, not retarded) but even that much bothers me. I don't regret what I did - most of my philosophy being no harm no foul. But it's this morning that got to me.
I woke up, went downstairs for coffee and he is looking after me like a child smitten. I do NOT need this. I know it's my fault. I know I am to blaim. I have no illusions about that part. What I don't know is what to do.
It's obvious that we hit it off. There is nothing wrong with him. There is no real reason that I shouldn't go see Gothika with him Wednesday like he asked.
Unless, of course, we bring Jay into this. Though I'd rather not. Maybe I'm the child smitten here, gazing longingly into the distance after a star I could never hope to reach.
Oooh. That was pretty good. I'm gonna remember that line. *haha*
Anyways - I'm confused girl. *shakes head* Maybe it has nothing to do with Jay. If he asked me out, would I really go for it? Who knows...I'm just so terrified of messing things up. I do not want another Jason. I hate that he has this much influence on my life now but I can't help it. You are a mass of experiences, good or bad. Tough that the bad moments affect you more often than the good ones.
So that's me in a nutshell. (*Ah - help, I'm in a nutshell*) I may be going to Mexico for holiday, it depends on how I'm feeling. I could use the break but hanging with Alex and Hector for 3 weeks. Can I even hope to deal with that?
