Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Charming WEEKEND (July 22-24)
#1
A Charming Weekend

You've heard of Charming Sundays. This month, experience a full-on Charming WEEKEND! What better way to spend your spare time than with a posting binge? From July 22-24, your posts will do more than just bring joy to the hearts of those around you (and potentially ruin character lives). In addition, they will help net you a BEAUTIFUL stamp and give you a chance to win prizes!


I know this says Charming Sundays, but think of this as a REALLY LONG Sunday


HOW DOES IT WORK?
  • Each "batch" of ten posts gets you a raffle entryjust one completes the weekend! Completing the weekend also counts as a Camp Charming activity ;)
  • The catch? Posts within a batch must be completed with the same account!
  • "Weekend" runs from 6:00pm Friday to 6:00am Monday, Halifax time — that means it might not line up exactly with your timezone, but everyone has the same amount of time to post!
  • Journals do not count, but you may count one letter per batch.
  • All posts must be linked here no later than Sunday, July 31st.
  • Players can net up to five raffle entries with completed batches

In addition, stay tuned for an organized group thread that weekend...

Happy posting!




PMs on this account will not be checked.
Instead, please contact Ursula Black, Aldous Crouch, Cassius Lestrange, Elias Grimstone or Philomena Sprout with any questions, issues, or concerns.

Charming Weekend: Stamp Threads

As promised, there will be not one but three member-driven stamp threads available to participate in this weekend! Threads will be posted by The Suggestionizer on Friday evening and linked here for your perusal and participation! Member-driven means there won't be staff directly involved coordinating things, but you will be given the premise and told what stamp you're trying to earn.

Participants in these threads will get to take home this beauty, in addition to their thread stamp:


HOW DOES IT WORK?
  • Each thread will include: the stamp being worked towards, the number of participants, and a premise to get you rolling!
  • Threads that finish during Charming Weekend will count as an "organized group thread" for Camp Charming—contact Tilda MacFusty with your thread link once done!
  • Threads that finish at any point and meet stamp requirements will earn you the listed stamp.
  • Threads that finish ever will earn you the Grouped stamp, provided they're 10+ posts long and you've posted 3+ times.

THE THREADS:
SPLASH ZONE | Set at the Swan Lake performance, this thread is open to 3+ UC characters, performers in the ballet, or merfolk who might be present.
A Bird? A Plane? | Set on the Hogsmeade High Street, this thread is open to 4+ characters of any sort.
Peskipiksi Pesternomi | Set in Diagon Alley, this thread is open to 4+ characters of any sort. This will likely be the trickiest to obtain—the countdown starts at 111!
Happy posting!
