Welcome to Charming, where swirling petticoats, the language of flowers, and old-fashioned duels are only the beginning of what is lying underneath…
After a magical attempt on her life in 1877, Queen Victoria launched a crusade against magic that, while tidied up by the Ministry of Magic, saw the Wizarding community exiled to Hogsmeade, previously little more than a crossroad near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the years that have passed since, Hogsmeade has suffered plagues, fires, and Victorian hypocrisy but is still standing firm.
Thethe year is now 1895. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.
With the same account, complete eight different threads where your character interacts with eight different usergroups. At least one must be a non-human, and one a student.
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
A Plan of Posting: I have a reeeaalllyyy bad habit of letting threads go dead [if you've been subject to this I love you dearly for your patience, I swear it's not because I've gotten bored] - while I don't mind threads going dead and reviving them, I know that it can be a peeve of others that I need to keep in mind. I'm hoping to just make my posting more consistent - not necessarily more threads just for the sake of quantity, but seeing that more of my threads are archived and completed rather than dead and uncompleted xD
Update adoptable ads!
Have my characters develop more relationships with other characters - both romantic and friendships
Like everyone else, maintain a better online/offline balance!
Aaallllsooooo I'd like to read more and thus perhaps participate in more book club descriptions!
— Spend more time on Charming and less worrying about things I can't control. I've lost so much time online this year because I've been mentally drained and unable to conjure an ounce of muse.
— Meet someone from Charming. My best candidate is Nichole (#FLbuddies, ayy) at this point.
— Equal development. I have a bad habit of giving attention to a handful of characters and neglecting the rest, but I want that to change! Even if it means a steady stream of open threads, it's still development.
— No more dead threads. 2019 has been characterized by moments of extreme muse and activity followed by cricket noises, and it's leading to forgotten and dead threads. I don't mind reviving, but I know some people do and I hate to be That Person.
— Keep a steady thread/post count tracker. I did this with ease in 2018, but I apparently suck now. :P
— Be a better Lead Wench. I slap myself on the wrist whenever someone shouts "IT'S FRIDAY" in the group chat and I haven't written or even found a topic for my article. >.>
Balance my writing time better between Charming/fic/original projects. The first two were very much my procrastination last year and I promised myself I would cobble together a proper draft of something by 2020... Charmers, please hold me accountable!
Meanwhile, on Charming... it's Elias' turn to be my hurling priority. Maybe it will finally be his year?
Try to take as many open threads as I make!
I don't know... write some Prophet articles?
look ANOTHER beautiful bee!set <3

The fact that I intended to and never did because I procrastinated to the point of forgetting is not the point, nor is it in any way ironic or indicative of my 2020 experience.
I would like to say I did not accomplish most of my goals. I had a hurl, that was it. But what I really want to point out was this...

Make new friends at the new campus. Don't just lurk at home. Be social.
Wow I really jinked us all with this one didn't I?
On that note, most of my goals shall move over to the upcoming year. Maybe I'll still make some of them before month-end?? 100 posts in less than a month. hmm?

Plot with a player I haven't plotted with before
Have a #DramaticReveal in a plot
I... think I actually did ok? I accomplished these two for sure! A year ago I'd never plotted with Finn, and now Gideon & Billie are one of the best things I've done :D And #DramaticReveals abounded with Ben & Melody this spring.
