xxxx X xxxxWhat's Happening?xxxx X xxxx
Ever find yourself writing a post, about to reference an event that occurred, and realize you're not sure your character would've heard about it? Or finish up a plot, and want to ensure that everyone knows it happened? Well then, this is right where you need to be.
Like the Rumors thread of yore, this thread will serve as both the Headline Stories of the Daily Prophet, and the Wizarding World Rumor Mill. But, unlike the Rumors thread, members will post their own stories to the thread, rather than submitting them to crew. If something happened and you think people ought to know, post it here for easy access to other members.
xxxX How to Use This Threadxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Submissions here can be serious, or they can be silly. Really all they need to be is something that would've been written or talked about. Remember that this isn't Hogwarts, so the threshold of what would be widespread enough to go here isn't as low. However, it is the Wizarding World, so it's not THAT much higher.
Examples of things that are appropriate to the thread are:
- Family tragedies, either public or not kept private enough
- Famous people, either the emergence of or developments relating to
- Mysterious happenings your character is responsible for or affected by
- Relationship drama or development among notable persons
- Poorly kept secrets
Anyone can post here, though because submissions aren't being vetted by crew before posting, there are some rules we expect you to follow.
1. You can only post about events that involve your own characters
2. If other members characters are involved, they must give permission, unless it is part of an approved plot request and qualifies as a Headline Story
3. Please specify at the bottom of the post if this is a [Headline Story] or a [Rumor Mill] like the example below.
4. Please also include a date for when the event occurred. It does not have to be an exact day, but must include the year at least, preferably also the season or month.
5. If possible, and if you like, you may include a link to the scene where the event (or part of it) occurred.
6. Crew can delete entries if they believe they don't belong here.
