Hello, everyone! This is just a small reminder about the house points system. Make sure to tag anything on this list with swishypoints and swishypoints:weektwo. It'll help us out a lot when we are trying to count points at the end of the week!

These points will also co-relate to quidditch games and their results. So everyone help their teams out and tag those posts!

gryffindor

The house of Godric Gryffindor stood at 267 points. However, in the names of Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, 10 points were deducted per person for their irresponsible behaviour, shown by throwing a party. 15 points each were taken in the name of the Head Boy and Girl, for letting the party go on.

Therefore, Gryffindor now stands at 207 points.

slytherin

The house of Salazar Slytherin stands at 133 points.

ravenclaw

The house of Rowena Ravenclaw stands at 124 points.

hufflepuff

the current timestamp is september 2nd to september 16th, 1977

Players are free to roleplay any events between those two dates, and can continue to reply to party-related threads. After this, however, you can't reply to any party starters, or post starters set during our opening event. It would be a good idea to tag (at least) your starters (or type it in anywhere) with the date it's set in, to keep the dash organized.

Hello, there, and welcome to our first character development challenge! We’re starting off simple -- we want you to take the tests below (very simple) and fill in our requirements. A surprise will be coming your way when you’re done!

What’s your character’s western star sign?

What’s your character’s chinese astrology sign?

What’s your character’s celtic tree sign?

What’s your character’s Myers-Briggs personality type?

What’s your character’s house?

What’s your character’s temperament?

What’s your character’s personality type?

What’s your character’s  Enneagram's personality type?

We only ask that you truly take the tests, make a post tagged  swishychallenge  where you answer these questions and ( very important ) pick two of the traits that best fit your character from their descriptions. In the case of numbers 3, 4 and 8, pick the title that best fits them.

With all due respect, anon, we stated multiple times that we weren’t going to accept everyone. We picked the characters we felt would be a good fit in the group – as we did the first time around, and will continue to do. It’s not our place to tell anyone what they should do, and we were always nothing but helpful when asked. I apologise, but we never tricked anyone, and I honestly am getting quite sick of everyone getting upset over everything, even when we provided all the needed information. If you want to have a mature discussion, do come off anon and we’ll talk.

Hello, everyone! And that is our last acceptance for a while! We will keep the application submit box open for those who might want to apply, but we will only be holding our next one at the end of June. If you wish to apply, we will hold onto your app until then!

Congratulations to everyone who got in! We'll be posting a character development challenge tonight, so keep an eye out for that!

Thank you so much for applying, and we honestly love you so much.

Congratulations RONI, you have been accepted as LORCAN D'EATH! 

LORCAN'S faceclaim was accepted as LEE HYUN-WOO.

As usual your character is wonderful, we honestly fell in love with Lorcan just as we did with Alice! You did good. Lorcan did good. We're good. Good. Welcome (again) to Swish & Flick!

Congratulations KIM, you have been accepted as SYBILL TRELAWNEY! 

SYBILL'S faceclaim was accepted as HANNAH MURRAY.

As expected you've brought us an amazing interpretation. Yes, we will let you be Sybill. Go forth, child. Make us proud. Welcome (again) to Swish & Flick!

Congratulations SMAM, you have been accepted as GIDEON PREWETT! 

GIDEON'S faceclaim was accepted as NAT WOLFF.

We didn't expect anything less than imaginative and you brought it! If this is actually Fabian and he's pulling a crazy twin stunt, we are not amused. But you brought honour to our family, so you can have another character. Maybe. Welcome (again) to Swish & Flick!

Congratulations LEN, you have been accepted as ARTHUR WEASLEY! 

ARTHUR'S faceclaim was accepted as ANDREW GARFIELD.

Honestly, we didn't expect anything less from you! Sexy Arthur? CHECK. Awesome hair? CHECK! Sherlock-related baby name story? TRIPLE CHECK. Yes, we approve very much. You get an Exceeds Expectations. Welcome to Swish & Flick!

Congratulations LESLEY, you have been accepted as SEVERUS SNAPE! 

SEVERUS' faceclaim was accepted as LOUIS GARREL.

It's quite difficult to find a Severus that seems realistic, but yours surely did! He's not a good person, nor is he a bad one -- Severus is what he is, and that's a massive blurr of grey, nothing is black and white. His in-character answers felt extremely fitting, and so did his paragraph sample! Suddenly, we had a younger Severus in front of us, so realistic and perfectly imperfect that we simply had no way of letting him go! We're very interested to see what happens next! Welcome to Swish & Flick!

Congratulations CIEL, you have been accepted as BERTRAM AUBREY! 

BERTRAM'S faceclaim was accepted as RAMI MALEK.

First of all, we must say that Betram's family history hurts. A lot. But that only served to make him a very realistic addition to our lovely characters! We fell in love with his in-character answers, as we found them as amusing as they were natural -- we could see him and hear him perfectly, and that's something we truly take into account. We are so excited to see how his blunt personality clashes with the rest of the characters, and we couldn't be more lucky to meet him! Welcome to Swish & Flick!

Congratulations LIZA, you have been accepted as EMMA VANITY! 

EMMA'S faceclaim was accepted as ELIZA TAYLOR.

Emma was quite certainly not an easy decision to make, but we ultimately had to go with yours! We particularly loved how so many things led to Emma's arrogance (and the fact that she thinks she's practically the second baby Jesus), and how her personality is so well-built -- she's got a very cocky side to her, but that's not all she is. Emma proved to be a very realistic person with amazing room for character development, and we had to have her! Welcome to Swish & Flick!
