Announcement #4:

Being two Applications away, we are glad to say we are really close to opening the roleplay! That’s why Admin Luna and I decided to polish a few things, to improve the roleplay.

As we were starting to have too many links in the navigation button, we moved them to the ‘portkey’, which you can find on the bar at the left of the blog, above the clubs’ list.

Speaking of clubs, the Clubs’ page is already available! There you’ll be able to find the members of each club, as well as the quidditch teams. If you desire to be your quidditch team’s captain, fill in the application found here and send it to us.

Another position you can apply for are the prefects, Head Girl and Head Boy. You can find the page here and the application to be one here. You’ll find it’s pretty similar to the one for being a quidditch captain.

And, to close today’s announcement, It’s important you know that, as we say in the disclaimer showed in the Application Form, from now on, if you want to apply for a character and want to be related to any canon character (such as Kingsley Shacklebot, Emmeline Vance, etc.) you must let us know beforehand.

With that, we end our fourth announcement! I know it’s a bit long, but I trust you guys will read it cause it says a lot of important things.

Announcement #5:

Hello, everyone !! We have some amazing news. Firstly, that we finally have a follow list [ cheers ]. Yes, finally. It took forever, but you can finally find it here or in our links box in our sidebar. Personally, I think it looks pretty cool [ admin luna doesn’t know what modesty is ]. Please, remember to follow everyone in that list !!

Secondly, we’ve posted some pre-made original characters biographies, in case anyone doesn’t want to write a brand new biography !! This is a new feature we are adding to our roleplay. People who want to apply for original htgt characters will have to fill a different application, which will write as soon as we can. We’ll continue to add original htgt characters, so stay tuned !! [ is that something people still say? idek ]

And lastly, we’ve set an opening date. Hell yeah, you read that right. We’re finally starting the roleplay !! I hope you are squealing from excitement because I am [ not really, it’s an expression. it’s late now and i don’t want to wake my cats ].

The opening date is set for tomorrow Friday 17th at 6 pm EST. Here is a nifty link so you know what time that is in your timezone. If you are not available at that time, don’t worry !! The starters will be there for you to answer whenever you have time. 

Announcement #6:

We are happy to say, that finally, Here Today Gone Tomorrow roleplay is officially open!

What do you have to do? You roleplayers must be asking yourselves. Really simple. To get things going, post in your roleplay blog a starter.

Now, I know that for some of you this is your first time as a roleplayer, so I’m going to clarify what a starter is. If you don’t know what a starter is or how to write it, go here, that perfectly explains what is a starter, what to do and what not to do.

For all of you who know what a starter is and how to write it, I would still advice you read info in the link, as it explains the difference between a passive and an active starter. Basically, the difference is that passive starters are those which require more thought on the receiving party’s end than the giving party’s. Examples of this include:

Simple greetings

Having your character be meandering about, expecting the other character to approach them. No, you’re starting it; you’re supposed to lead.

Approaching and not saying anything.

What should you do instead? An active starter. Something interesting to lure other roleplayers into answering. If you are still unsure of how to do so, check Luna’s or my character’s blogs to see our starters.

It’s important you post at least one starter before replying to someone else’s.

With that, we finish today’s annoucement!

Announcement #6:

Happy roleplaying, students! Admin Luna and I are glad to have the roleplay finally open. Knowing most of you are only getting started on your roleplay experience, we are going to put some tips to make the roleplay experience better for everyone! First, some rules mentioned before, but that it’s good to repeat:

It’s mandatory you use a gif of your face claim on each thread you post or answer to let other roleplayers see how your character is feeling.

Please just use one gif of your character and not any other gif on the thread. That means that, if for example, you are talking about cars, don’t put a gif of the car in the thread. Instead, if you want to show another roleplayer a gif or image, link it to the thread. This will keep the threads nice and tidy.

Please be sure to cut your post so they aren’t longer than two replies!

And now, a few tips that are not mandatory, but recommended:

Try using only small and medium gifs, to keep the dash clean. If you don’t know how to make gifs, try looking for a gif hunt of your Face Claim.

For the thread to look more aesthetic, shrink the size of your writting. How? Select the text, and then press ctrl + shift + -. The text will look like this.

That’s all for now. If you have any questions, as always, feel free to ask. 

Hello, anon! Not yet, sadly. But we are almost there! Two applications away, if I’m not mistaken. Hopefully we’ll be able to start during the weekend!

Announcement #3:

Hello, everyone! Admin Luna here, I hope you are having an amazing day. I just wanted to clarify some things. You may not care, but hey! I feel like I need to say something. 

If you’ve read the character’s biographies, you may have noticed that the format is not always the same. That’s because we are constantly updating our application format in order to get a better idea of your characters. We are not going to ask the people who applied with previous formats to do it again, but I wanted to clarify this so everyone is on the same page.

Also! I’ve seen that many applicants are not paying enough attention to the rules. Please pay attention to the rules. They are very important and we think it’s necessary for everyone to have a clear idea of them.

Lastly, we’ve created an OOC blog. All members have been invited and we hope it will be a nice place where everyone can get to know each other and start plotting once we start the roleplay.

I believe that’s it! Have an amazing week and don’t hesitate to leave us an ask. We’re only 3 applications away, I can barely believe it!
