YES!

And of course, the hilarity was that both Remus and Sally-Anne were played by the same player.

Which was a double burden for poor Naomi. But we really appreciated it.

Yeah, I got to have one of my characters delightedly hand off the minute-taking to ... another one of my characters!

On at least one occasion I wrote two sets for the SAME DAMN MEETING. lolsob.

The thing about the minutes, though, was that writing them was part of how we figured out what the heck had happened at the meeting.

Yeah, exactly. And more than that, it was how we CONVEYED what had happened at the meeting. There were more than a few conversations that we talked out behind the scenes that we never figured out how to get onto the journals, because people wouldn't have written it down. I had that problem a lot with Tosha, who was painfully aware that he needed to watch what he wrote no matter how much he might have been on the "don't monitor" list -- that's actually what prompted all the strikeouts that y'all loved so much, by the way.)

Anyway. You totally deserve MASSIVE credit for doing those, because it helped so much.

And they were so screamingly funny.

Meeting minutes are an underutilized vehicle for humor. They have a lot of potential!

...you know, you're right, I used very close to the same tone for the meeting minutes that I often use in my political posts. I guess it's the same part of my brain.

I appreciated your minutes already, and then I did the set for Pomona, for the 'anti-Umbridge staff meeting' and appreciated them even more. It's really hard to find a way of doing them that's interesting to read and informative about the stuff you want to get out, without being a total infodump.

But it was a really good way of figuring out what happened at the meetings without hashing it out forever. (Also a reason the entire Order didn't meet very often.)
