Yeah, the moment I read about her passing away, I trawled through most of their threads. They were so cute as a couple.

no problem!
It wasn't just that either not only were they amazing together but she was also such a good writer as well! Honestly, when I read her last thread I could feel what she was feeling she really knew how to put two and two together to make everyone experience the situation for themselves I sound like every E.L.A teacher ever- but hey it's true

Aww I didn't realise they were a couple. I should catch up on their threads!

Hahaha it's true, believe me. My mom has that skill, you know? If you write a novel, you gotta get the person to feel complete, and yet crave more of the same series.

That's such a great skill to have! And such a lovely thing to say. Hopefully they return soon and share more lovely writings with us!

Uh huh. I didn't know you could do that, by the way. Just kill off your character.

Yes and no. I imagine there's a lot of issues/things to think about. Some of them being:

If you kill it off, they are gone forever. You can't ever come back, for obvious reasons (no ghosts etc). If you still want to play on HiO, you have to therefore make a new character and start afresh from first year etc. The same rules apply for deactivation here - you can only do this if you have passed 6 months etc. It's not recommended to kill them off, as some people deactivate and then regret it and wish to return to their original (which cannot be done in this case).

There's also rules about where they can die I believe. For instance, I don't think they can die whilst at school. If they got hurt, they'd go to the wing and be healed. So wouldn't die. There's other stuff like you can't hurt someone and claim they died cos 1. you don't control their character and 2. you'd lose your own character too as there would be consequences if you were responsible for someone's death etc. Likewise, people can't claim they died and force you to take responsibility cos that's not fair either.

It's not encouraged as nothing can be done if you regret it and it affects other people's characters etc. But it is an option if you're genuinely done with the character etc and you follow all of the other rules about deactivation, what makes sense etc. Most people prefer to have their character pulled out of school and explain their deactivation that way.

There's probably other stuff too. I dunno, I personally wouldn't ever do it. I'd like to think Serena would go live happily somewhere if I deactivated and made a new one.

Huh. That stuff makes a lotta sense.

Has anyone read the recent Daily Prophet? It's very interesting.

I have not :o I should! I am currently drawing for a thread though - why does my character draw T_T?

God alone knows. Well, God and Serena Towers.
Also, I read the Daily Prophet. The Athanatos part was interesting.
