So... I've never done a real role play. How do you get started?

Well, basically it is a text-based game in which you create a character that fits into the certain game that you are playing. So for example if you wanted to role-play with the Harry Potter world you could think of a character and then try to find a forum that is a Harry Potter Roleplay. Most HP roleplays have applications in which you fill out about the character that you create. On my forum after you fill out this application you are "sorted" into a House just like in the books, and then you can go off and "role play" or interact with other members inside the HP world. There are certain things about RPing that take getting used to. Some forums are strict about how many words or sentences should be in each post. For example, on my forum we require that you write at least 8-10 sentences in each post. You can write more than that but the minimum is 8-10 sentences. This encourages literacy. It's hard to respond to something like "Ginny kicked the dust on the ground and looked up at Ron." Basically once you get through the application process its like taking charge of a character in a story and "RPing" that out. LOL...I hope that's making some sense.

Okay, so on your forum, are all the good characters taken?

Well, most of the main canons out of the marauder's era are taken, yes, but we still have TONS of canons left. Also, you can make up your own character. We have a "loose" plot and don't necessarily stick entirely to the canon storyline, though we do try and stay pretty close to it.

Hmm.... okay, well that sounds really good, but I don't really know that much about marauder's era characters, other than the obvious ones. I never really thought about it lol... I'll check out your forum and see what its like. =D

*GASP!*
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?! (Haha! No, Sirius fell through the veil! Sorry... bad and over-used pun!)
Wow! I feel like I know royalty! ^^ So, I have a question, am I allowed to put what house I am in, (since I'm applying as a 7th year) or do I need to just list the main qualities and let you decide?

It's best to just list the qualities and let my sorter decide what house you are in. If you tell her what house, then she will most likely give you the opposite house that you desire. It's best to just tell the qualities.

Haha, I ended up a Hufflepuff! I don't mind, since it fits some of my characteristics, but I get the feeling that if Mei Li really was a Hufflepuff, a lot of them would end up being beat up...

Tehehehe, thank you. We do have an excellent graphics team. I actually made the banner you are using right now. Took a while, but I was quite pleased with it once it was done. =]
