5th April, 2019

Please pardon the slight mess of the journal coding while I work on upgrading us to super to get back our fancy journal skins.

In the meantime, however, applications have been officially opened !! Please see our latest journal, Opening 4, for more information, and we hope to see you all soon <3

31st March, 2019

Applications will open sometime this coming week as part of an effort to get this group active again ! Please feel free to message the group or myself Untamed--Spirit with any questions. I hope to see you all around soon ! <3

24th August, 2018

The mod applications have officially closed and we'd like to welcome ku-sair to the mod team !

The member suggestions will also be closing soon, so if you've got any ideas for the group please make sure to fill it out here

17th August, 2018

As many of you are probably aware, the group has officially changed ownership !

black-labrador has stepped down from their position as group owner and yumeuu has stepped down from their position as moderator. We would like to thank them for all of their dedication and hard work, which has helped Kwidditch thrive !! :heart:

Untamed--Spirit has taken over as owner of the group and can be contacted via dA notes and discord.

Over the next few weeks there will be some changes made to the group. New interactives are being brainstormed and developed, to be released sometime in the near future. Barring anything out of the ordinary, these will start being tested via beta testers in the next week or two. Please note the group or DM Micki (#4253) on discord to be added to the list of beta testers.

The biggest change to date is the gallery folders, so be sure to check them out.

We have separated the students folder into houses and added two new folders to the gallery. One of these is a writing folder with several sub-folders, including a folder to submit RP posts for points. The AUs folder is for art only, as the writing folder has it's own sub-folder for AU writing. If you would like to see any other folders or sub-folders added to the group, feel free to note us.

Moderator applications are currently open and the deadline is August 24th. Please apply here to be considered for a moderator position.

There is also a members survey currently open. It will help us create events and activities that will interest you and make members feel included. If you have time, please fill it out here


17th February, 2018

Pardon the belated announcement, but Join requests are now Closed !
Thank you all for your interest, the results will be posted shortly, so stay tuned ! :heart:

To current members:
Just a reminder that the Valentines Day shop will be closing this Sunday (the 18th), so if you haven't already- make sure to purchase your goodies and deliver them before then, as well as take inventory of what you've received (figuratively).

9th February, 2018

Heyho everyone!
As we’re a week into the month of February- (and a week away from the day of love~), we’re happy to announce a couple of activities to celebrate this amour-ous season- all of which can be found in our brand new [ Valentine’s Day Journal] so if you haven’t already, please check it out!

In addition to the new festivities going on in Hogwarts and the general hustle it tends to invoke- there appears to be a bit of extra scuttling about on the Head students part, as well as a couple of Professors.
For some reason, despite the season- their expressions remain a bit pensive, their posture rigid as they whisper fervently amongst themselves, and students may notice a bit more haste enforced when being hustled to class or bed.

'Perhaps you feel curious as to what’s amiss, with this time of year being less exciting.
But this particular school, famed for its extraordinary teachings
Is known also to make the peculiar and wicked, inviting

Alas, enjoy your weekends dear students, but do try and keep your eyes peeled.
For a chance to catch a Head or two off guard, or perhaps not!
But as time has taught, all secrets will eventually be revealed'


This month marks the start of a mini marathon of short Mod-led RPs on the weekends. We do encourage you to join us if you happen to catch us, as we have no set timing as to when we’d be available just yet.

Though we will start them off, they’re mostly made to help members get a little bit more interactions going between students- so feel free to carry them on should we need to drop out as well as create your own.

----- ✣ ✣ ✣ -----


1 February, 2018

Hello hello everyone, a quick note that join requests are officially open, and will remain so until the 10th February.

Further information can be found in the [Opening 3 Journal].

Onto group updates:
I'm sure a couple of you keen beans have noticed a little spruce up to our front page. The journals are all slowly getting the same treatment and should be on theme soon.

Lastly, we will be hosting an event for Valentines which will be released shortly. Keep a weather eye on the horizon :heart:

19 January, 2018

Hi guys, Welcome back to the new year!

We’re excited to make a couple of announcements starting with our 3rd Group Opening, so please check out the [ Opening 3 Journal] for more information !

APP CHECKS
Will be opening on January 28th - February 4th

JOIN REQUESTS
Will be open from February 1st - February 10th

In further news;

    The shop has been restocked potion-wise and a winter store that includes new and exclusive items is now open and can be checked out here. This means that current members are free to purchase and submit additional characters at any time hence forth, until further notice.

    As a general reminder, please re-familiarise yourself with our Character Creations Journal, as following the guidelines will help make the process of admission smoother and faster for everyone!

    Finally, if you haven’t already, we’d like to encourage members to make sure that your apps are updated and reflect the change of new year on your applications (ie; 4th years to 5th from our earlier September turnover). App art and bio updates are not mandatory however, but it would be great to learn a little bit about how your kids are progressing.

17 November, 2017
Hello all! We’re excited to announce a little bit of wintertime fun! We’ll be having a Secret Santa. Im sure by now most of you have an idea of what a Secret Santa is so we’ll crack on with the details;

Wish-list
You may write out up to three things in your wish-list but the artist is only required to complete one. This is mainly so that they can remain a bit flexible, but of course, your best effort is expected.

Due dates
Pieces may be submitted anywhere between the 25th of December to the 1st of January


Backup Artist
In the unfortunate case that an assigned artist is unable to compete their SS in the allotted time period, this person will be there to step in and take on their responsibility.
If you accept, you will be required to finish your piece in a much shorter period of time than the rest, as well as your own (If you've signed up for it) *but will receive bonus points for your submission on top of the event bonus!


SS's will be delivered to each of you via note by the 25th November That gives you a whole month to get something done!

Sign Up Sheet

Please only sign up if you can fulfil the requirements, (make sure to put in your best effort for these, play to your strengths) as well as keep your SS a Secret until the reveal date !

All participants will receive an award (Badge to be announced at later date)

15 October, 2017

We’re ecstatic to announce that this journal marks the beginning of Kwidditch’s 2017 Halloween event! We have been working on this event since the start of September so we sincerely hope you enjoy the games and roleplays we have in store for you!

The event will run from now till the 31st of October

To make things easier for everyone we have created a Halloween Mastersheet which includes all of the carnival games, currency tracker and all of the event shops.

There will also be a mod-led event on the 27th-28th of October

If you wish to participate please sign up for the event here

Enjoy!

----- ✣ ✣ ✣ -----


16 September, 2017

I’m delighted to announce that we are opening applications for one full-time mod position and two part-time mod positions!

The individual who gets accepted for a full-time mod position will take on a ‘Head of House’ position, while the two part-time mods will take on the positions of Head-Boy and Head-Girl. At the end of the year an individual can step down from the Head-Boy or Head-Girl position if they wish.

PLEASE NOTE:

Please only apply for these positions if you have the free time needed to help run the group.

Please do not discuss if you are applying or not in the Kwidditch Server Chats. We want to keep this as anonymous as possible. We won’t be disclosing to anyone who has applied, only those who are accepted.

Those who are accepted for Head-Boy and Head-girl will have to make new characters every year as these ocs will have to be in 7th year. Individuals accepted will be given a free main character slot to do this.

Under no circumstances should members make new characters / discuss new characters for these positions, in private or in the Kwidditch discord. Do not plan/hc/etc for this position until you are accepted with the position.

Click me to Apply

Good luck! Applications will close on Friday

[Note: If you have any questions about this, please send the group a note or message one of the mods and we will add you to the 'private' channel and talk with you]

18 August, 2017

Hello! This is a small announcement for the prospective members out there,

There is currently only two more days left for Application Checks. We would recommend getting one, just to be safe and assure you a higher chance of getting accepted, but they are in no way compulsory!

The application does not need to be fully completed to receive an app check, as just the written portion will be enough.

To send in an app check, just pop us a note with a link to your app! Please be patient with us, though, as we're all currently busy with life and event related things.

And as a notice, if you've sent in your application for a check before the 21 of August, you will still receive one, even if it's after the 21!

----- ✣ ✣ ✣ -----


5 August, 2017

Hello hello,

We are officially Open for join requests as of today!

You can also check out your cabins [ here ]

Could all of you please add yourself to the [ Camp Brown Bear Inventory ] sheet please. Your inventory capacity will be determined by your character and their abilities!

We do have a little housekeeping to be addressed for those of you already in the group;

  • Be aware that when we progress to the next school year, we do expect your app sheets to reflect this. We expect all of you to change the year on your app to the subsequent one ie, a 6th year would become 7th year etc.
    • Graduating students will be moved to a separate “Graduates” folder.




  • As far as the matter of the House Cup goes, this year we decided to collect housepoints for the year 2016/17 during the ‘Summer’ as well as we started late on. The House Cup will be announced on the 1st of September. In following years, we do expect to announce the winning house at the end of the school year.
