Charming

Another activity check come and gone! The list of inactive accounts has been compiled, with deactivations and list maintenance underway :) If you lost a character you'd like back, you may post in Maintenance starting Wednesday, 8th July. If you have no currently active characters you can post in maintenance immediately! If you lost a character before the AC, you can post there whenever you'd like!

PW results and a Summer Raffle update will be coming soon! In the meantime, check out July's IC Events - and don't forget the Summer Reading Challenge!

Check your PMs—an update for camp charming has been sent to your main account (or your first on the CD, if no main is indicated). It includes your summer post and OOC activity count, as well as suggestions on how to make up some ground if you're falling behind ;)

Hi friends! Just a heads up that I will be cleaning up threads in pre-made characters, as well as lonely plots, two weeks from today on July 25th! The following will be deleted at the at time:

• All posts by inactive accounts—remember you can use the polyjuice button to change post author!
  Any posts that were last edited before July 1st. If all your information is up to date, simply adding a space to the end of your post and submitting the change will update your edit date for you :)
  

If you find your adoptables post(s) are really long, you are encouraged to consider adding in a scroll! Simply replace the # in the code below with the height, and the content with your content! The scrolling part of my ads is 1500, for reference! You can still use anchors with this, too ;)

Happy announcement day!

Activity Check	Our August Activity Check will take place on Sunday, August 2nd—that's one week from today! What do you need to ensure to get through without a headache? Your mini-profile is filled in with height properly formatted (including Hawaiian temporary characters) All of your characters have been listed in the Character Directory—check back on your entries to make sure they were processed properly! Anyone reactivated this month will need to be placed back on.  (including Hawaiian temporary characters) Characters made before the last AC have posted at least once this month This one's mostly for staff, but that your full profile has been filled in ;) (Hawaiian temporary characters are exempt) If all of the above are squared away, there should be no reason for you to fall inactive in the upcoming check!  To our new members: the AC requires no work on your part. The staff team simply makes sure the above is seen to!
Trivia...Night?	Lady will be hosting Zoom trivia today, though whether it's actually at night depends on your timezone ;) Come join us for fabulous prizes and an abundance of fun!
