| About: | The year: 1998. The place: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Wider Potterverse. Harry Potter and classmates have just completed their seventh year of education at Hogwarts. In December 1996, an electronic journal project for 6th/7th Year students and staff was launched at Hogwarts utilising warding techniques that allow for the use of a computer intranet at Hogwarts and access to the www. Now that the 7th Year have graduated they continue to keep their journals. Back Story: During Harry's fifth year, Sirius Black, was given the trial he had been previously denied. Cooperating fully and under the influence of Veritaserum, Sirius was acquitted of all charges and duly compensated for his twelve wrongful years in Azkaban. Subsequently, because of his experience, he was asked to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, and accepted, not only to keep watch over his godson Harry, but to train the students of Hogwarts in what will surely be their only means of survival against the imminent onslaught. This he did during Harry's 6th Year. Much to Professor Snape's annoyance, Sirius remained in post despite almost being killed during a Death Eater attack on Hogwarts in June 1997. Remus Lupin had returned to Hogwarts in the role of Care of Magical Creatures Professor. In January 1998 though, Black was murdered with a poison dart by parties unknown. While the Death Eaters were suspected, no one to date has claimed the kill. In June 1998 a graduation party for the 7th Years held at a Scottish mansion became the target for a devastating Death Eater attack leaving a number of students dead and others missing. The survivors still continue. That's the story. Now for the guidelines and rules of the RP: 1. Characters need to be pre-approved. There are a number of canon characters without players, some with back story and some that have never been played. Original characters will be accepted but these are on a case-by-case basis. A number of canon characters exist as NPCs under the control of players. Please do not assume that these are 'open' without asking. 2. The game is set in 'real time' and every day in the year of 1997/1998 coincides with that of 2003/2004. To that point, the dates will be the same, and time-frame references will remain in place (e.g. if today is Friday the 13th, then in 1998 it was Friday the 13th, too.). However, the 2004 leap year has thrown us out by one day. Ignore it. 3. Although the game is in 'real time' not all player characters will update daily. However, player characters should update once or twice a month. Absence for longer than this should be advised to ooc group and/or to the Moderators. If you no longer wish to play, there is the option to put the character journal up for adoption. 4. Alternative Universe: Since the appearance of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, certain aspects of this RP are AU even if we have retained canon in terms of back story up to Goblet of Fire. 5. Anachronisms: Current events, popular culture, music and the like all reflect the period in which the events are taking place. 6. In terms of writing, please spellcheck and preview. As well as first person journal entries, the RP includes communications (owls) and edited role-play logs and joint posts. 7. Relationships are fine and ideally evolve naturally from character interaction. They should however only be initiated with the other player's approval. 8. The RP is rated R though the majority of material that appears is PG-13. Do please keep it above board and in social context as there is a definite line between R and NC-17. 9. The main journal of 10. If you have any questions or issues about the game there is 11. Please keep in mind that this is a game and that you are playing a character. Interactive fiction and RPing can be an intense writing experience. 12. The game has been running now for over 18 months and as such has a great deal of back-story in terms of plot and character development. New players should take some time to familiarise themselves with the back story and ask questions in the ooc group. Assistance and guidelines are provided and while it is not a 'free for all' there is a great deal of creative opportunities. 13. SP Hogwarts exists in AU co-operation with our spin-off group SPNet, which now also serves the graduating class of 1998 as a community and 'hub'. 14.
