Writing Letters
During the busier days, such as during the exam period, it's hard to see all of your friends and hang out with them. Muggle devices, such as phones, do not work in the school. When technology fails you, rely on the good old reliable owl system. Letterwriting is a great way to stay in touch with your friends and these fantastic school owls are the way to do that.
Rules & Guideslines:
1. Use this sub-board to write In Character [IC] letters to your friends, in between the RPG threads.
2. The word count for this area is reduced to 50 words.
3. Use [PV] tags in your title to indicate who the owls are between.
4. You may use pictures, such as handwriting fonts, for your letter if you wish to do so. For images, it might be best to upload the images to an external image hosting site, such as "imgbb" or "imgur".
5. If you use an image for your letter, please ensure to write the content of the letter out in reducio.
6. No spamming or OOC letters allowed in this letter. It must be IC. Only IC words will count towards the WC.
7. Please remember these are letters! We recommend you add a date to them, so they make sense between your RP threads, especially if different to today's dates.
8. If you're writing IC letters with a Quill Pal, you can post them in a thread here if you wish to.
9. Although this sub-board is in Hogwarts, you can add a location + date to your letter and use it during the school breaks too.
10. If you want your thread to be locked, please mark it as [Finished] (which is not the same as [Solo]) or contact a staff member. Otherwise, your thread will remain unlocked in light of people creating journals and spaced-out correspondence threads.
11. You may use this board to write letters from iNPCs. However, you must follow iNPC rules - including putting a picture on it and ideally a link to your encyclopedia.
12. Make sure it is clear to everyone if you're writing from a PC, iNPC or dNPC. They should not have to check or know. Specify this clearly, for instance:Roleplaying as [Name of iNPC] from [School] - Link to Encyclopedia
