Acid Pops: A Marauder-Era Roleplay Game

storyline: The Marauders (Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter, a.k.a. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs) are in their sixth year at Hogwarts. Tensions in the wizarding world are growing. A great evil is gaining power outside of Hogwarts, calling himself Voldemort, gathering supporters. Feelings of uneasiness are spreading, people are beginning to go missing, and those in Hogwarts are beginning to become frightened.

Add in the arrogance of the teenage boys, the awkwardness ensuing from teenage years, and the fact that school policy has them all keeping a journal with their quills and parchment. Their journals, graded based upon effort and truth, are bewitched so that the school may look them up easily and comment on them, unless a certain entry is hexed private or blocked to certain people. It is an attempt by Dumbledore, blown to unbelievable proportions, to bring about unity within the school. He is going as far as encouraging the teachers themselves to participate.

With tensions running high in the outside world, and mounting tensions among the houses themselves, how will the Marauders and company survive their sixth year?

rules:

01. It'd be really helpful if you've read Order of the Phoenix. We're fairly certain you'd be lost if you haven't.

02. Slash is allowed, however, not all characters will be homosexual, as you know. Please try to stay canon. Also, since this is the seventies/eighties, advertising that you're here and you're queer will probably make you receive a few odd looks, not to mention the insults.

03. Don't do anything too out-of-character (OOC). If you think it might be way, way OOC, then you're probably right.

04. Update your journals at least once every two weeks. That's really not too much to ask. We, the mods, completely understand if something comes up and you can't update for a while; but please, let us know.

05. We don't accept Original Characters any longer, as currently we have too many and would prefer to have more canon characters.

06. Most 3rd-person roleplaying by instant messaging (IM) will take place over AIM. It isn't required that you have it, but it is really nice if you do. Another option is Trillian, a chat client which supports many IM networks. It is a combination of AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger and IRC. From there you would just have to get an AOL screenname.

07. As we all know, when you add hormonal teenagers (and really, it is the Seventies!) there is...tension and sex. There will be NC-17 situations. Consider yourself warned.

08. Yes, this is cliché, but it needs to be said: Have fun. That's the whole reason to join a journal roleplay, isn't it? So if you wouldn't have fun, why join?
