[alt_moderator]

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)...?

Pre-journal start timeline. Though that depends on what you want to reveal for the first time outside of the journal environment.

I can imagine there would be some times when supplementary documents on the website could tell a part of the story or reveal some character details that the journals can't. I've thought about the fact that the journals being so closely watched might end up being sort of limiting for players whose characters are not in the Order and would be cautious enough to not share a lot over the journals. So personal letters, diary entries, or even notes passed in class (Shoebox Project-style) could maybe be used to fill in some of the gaps for those characters. Not necessarily plot-heavy, but just fun, something written without the knowledge that the Ministry is reading every word. I don't actually know if that's something anybody would want to do, but that is the kind of thing I would be really excited to find on the website.

an rss updated list of the all the various posts that one could subscribe too! my rss reader is a mess now that i have all these alternity feeds. lets just narrow it down to one list and one rss address!

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.
