Activity Check

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, 4th June. 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!)

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to add your characters to the Character Directory. This is what the staff use to conduct activity checks, so characters not on it are deactivated even if they've posted. It's always a good idea to check back a couple days before the AC if you've made any changes, just to make sure everything looks good!

The next AC will be on Sunday 6th July.

Posting Wizard

Our winners this month are Fallin (Sisse Thompsett) with 38 posts and Lady (Philomena Sprout) with 28! We have what looks to be some robust competition this month—may the odds be ever in your favour!

Summer Banners

There's still a little more time to submit your summer banners to MJ! She's accepting submissions until June 4th.

June Events!

June's Writing Challenge is now live, as are a number of IC events. Of course, IC happenings aren't all that's going on this month!

Make sure you keep an eye out for Charming's June movie bracket, and help us decide when the next movie night will be. Of course, as always, June means...

Off to Camp!

Camp Charming 2025 starts today! All posts and activites as of this very moment count towards your camp participation. What are you waiting for? Slap on some sunscreen and make those friendship bracelets—it's camp season!

New Skins

To celebrate Charming's birthday (and summer!) we have three shiny new skins!

• Neptune's Yellow Sands — banner by MJ
• Met We On Hill — banner by Fallin
• Oxlips & Nodding Violets — banner by Gin

Thanks for your amazing banner submissions! If you're interested in submitting a banner, keep an eye out for the Autumn banner call!
If you're unsure how to change skin, you can use the drop down at the bottom of the board or find it in your UCP under 'Edit Options'!
