Recap for the week of 12 October, Year 1
12 October
Sally-Anne has two pen friends: Ginny and Luna.
13 October
Hermione is no longer being punished, and in the comments it appears that Terry has not been doing his duties in the Hospital Wing. Lucius is back from Scotland, having been forced to Cruciate Crispin's stand-in, and chats with Percy in the comments.
14 October
Arthur posts about a heartbreaking day at the office, then explains himself in Order Only. Ron has singed his fingers somehow. Pansy has come to terms with Hogwarts and now owns a creepy doll's head.
15 October
Xenophilius Lovegood has painted Molly Weasley's henhouse purple, and she is not amused. Sirius is trying to make connections in the black market.
16 October
Fred and George warn Luna (too late) to be careful in their room. Hermione is back to helping out in the library, and her word of the day is "numinous." McGonagall posts a schedule for the Lord Protector's Halloween visit and reminds students to get their Hogsmeade permission slips signed.
17 October
Neville messed up Harry's Potions assignment, so Harry jinxed him and now he's insulting everybody. Boot and Pomfrey have words about his truancy.
18 October
Lupin is sorry about something, but he doesn't say what. Harry says that Neville is still mad at him and wonders what to get his Father for his birthday. Neville apologizes for his behavior, and in the comments Boot says that the jinx Harry used was like Imperius.
Notes
Hey fen! What would you like to see on an Alternity website? I'm thinking of creating one, which would include links to the communities, a list of journals, some game summary and character profile info, and possibly also some goodies. We've already planned on archiving any multimedia stuff we use on the site: what else should there be? Class schedules, propaganda, additional banners & posters, icons (I'd feel really embarrassed to make those for Alternity myself, but)...?

The text is visible to the public if you go look.
Not that being able to see an occasional owl wouldn't be nice, or that Ministry documents aren't helpful. But it's another place to look.

Though these have all been from Lucius, so maybe it's just the one player.
Oh - Wait - you CAN see it:

also a message board would be nice, that way if people don't have lj accounts (i didn't until i started following this) might be more inclined to post theories, kudos, etc.

Have you considered just bookmarking alt_player's friendslist and checking it once a day? (I know, not a permanent solution - I agree with you that it would be schweet to have an RSS feed that people could just use. But it might help temporarily.)
Hmmm - a message board - would that be best? Or a discussion list? Maybe I'll put up a poll to see if people are happy with the

I might be in the minority?

it looks like it does what i was suggesting, but i don't have web space to play around with it.
As for alt_fen, i think it's great, but, IMHO, lj isn't the most user friendly interface for viewing and replying to messages. it's perfect for what the players are doing, and the way lj works fits the story, but i don't think it translates as well for spectators commenting and gathering as a community.
anywho, one man's opinion.

I'll play around with it (I do have webspace to play with) and make it happen. :)

(I'm an RSS Luddite, though, so this is both a technical question and a "what will that do to help" question.)

1. go to: http://angstalaska.livejournal.com/1015.html
2. copy/paste the entry into notepad, or your favorite text editor.
3. save as whatever.xml
4. import that file into your favorite rss aggregator.
5. ?????
6. profit!
It won't capture the comments, but i think having to look through old entries for new comments is the best part about this 'game'.
