Another activity check come and gone! The list of inactive accounts has been compiled and deactivations and list maintenance are underway :) If you lost a character you'd like back, you may post in Maintenance starting Wednesday, 7th May. 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!)

The next AC will be on Sunday 1st June.

Our winners this month are Bee Daffodil Grimstone w/ 43 posts and Gin Gus Lissington with 35!

Check out May's past/future Writing Challenge or May's IC events, including the annual Hogwarts Coming Out Ball!

Is it really almost summer?!

The next AC is in one week, on Sunday 1st June! Please ensure that:

• Your mini-profile is filled in
  
• 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.
  
• Characters made before the last AC have posted at least once since the last AC
  
• Profile has been filled in if not done during acceptance (Did you get a "DIY" PM? You'll need to do this!)
  
• Your character's height is displayed in their mini-profile—if you reactivate an account, this may need doing!
  

And because it is that time of the month again, posting wizard signups are open for June, as are June IC events!

We also have some OOC events coming down the pipes! First of all, June 6-9 will be our first Charming Weekend of the summer! We also have a full on movie bracket! Be sure to let me know when you're available for movie night, and keep an eye on the C&E forum for each round of the bracket!

The Hogwarts school year comes to a close this week! The Coming Out Ball is on Wednesday, following which students in 7th year depart the castle; students in years 1-6 will leave on Friday!

• School Staff: This Thursday is the last day to submit house point adjustments
  
• Seventh Years: Please wait until you're directed before posting character updates! Enjoy your youth while it lasts.
  
• Exams, Badges, Etc.: Information on all this stuff will be made available as we enter June!
  

Congratulations to GRYFFINDOR who have won this year's house cup!

They were followed by Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and distantly by Slytherin. Characters eligible for our house cup stamp will be receiving PMs shortly! The house points thread will remain up for posterity for the summer ;)

Students returned home today after breakfast. Have a great summer! Or a chaotic one. Or an absolutely awful one. You do you!
