| Interview with Katalina Jones
By Amanda Dasaro 1. What inspired you to come here? Actually it was because I was really bored one weekend and was looking through any Harry Potter related site I could come across and now I'm hooked!! 2. How did you feel about entering a house that doesn't really exist? I was definitely a bit wary about it at first and thought it was a bit cheesy that a house had been made up but now I would never switch. 3. How do you feel about Penshire? I love it....It's the best house!!!! 4. Are you enjoying yourself? Yes, I think all the people here and activities are great! I love being involved in classes and RPGs with such a great group of people. 5. What do you hope to do in the future here? I definitely want to try out some more classes and complete the ones I'm doing at the moment. But my short term goal is to get my posts up to at least 2,500 |

| What to like most about PADs
By SeverusSnape As you all know I made a post in the BB about what you like most about PADs and the result are anonymous. Most people said they like meeting friends. I think that is a good answer I mean look at all the friend we have on here even with other houses when I started pads I was nervous but made all kinds of friends and everyone lends a hand and is really friendly. And in real life we think about how someone looks on here you don�t have to worry you can just look at someone for who they really are. The goings on in RPGs By Keato Abbot! There have been many RPs going around lately and many disappointing ones also. The SOTF RPG has slowed down a lot since the beginning of October. Then of course there�s the Quidditch Match and Broomstick races, those obviously will be lasting RPs. One of the longest lasting RP�s I�ve seen is A WALK. That was started on June sixth 2007 at 2:40 PM by Luna Lovegood of Ravenclaw. The last time it was posted in was October tenth 2007 at 9:53 AM by Viktor of Slytherin. Another interesting kind of RP is the ones between two people. Like Having a Chat in RPG school grounds, that RP has no real lasting power because of 1. The storyline I mean you can�t just chat forever can you And 2. Eventually the two people posting in that RP are eventually going to get bored of posting in it. Another kind of RPG is one with three to five people a good example of this is the RP Curiosity Never Always Killed the Cat, started by Ariene Callahan on Aug 9 2007, 10:03 PM. That RP is only going to last ! a week or two because 1. Everyone would get bored of posting in it, and 2. The people posting in that weren�t active enough. I will close this article with the top four RPGs that are going strong, but I will not include the broomstick races or the Quidditch matches. 1 A WALK 2 Pajama Party 3 Start of Term Feast 4 That Kind of September As you may notice there is a slight lack of extremely active RPGs lately. So take this as advice to the RPG starter. If you want your RP to last make it a simple storyline and open to EVERYONE! Or if making an invite RP invite ALL your friends. |

| Top Ten Cheap Halloween Costumes
By Billy Raven 1.) Mummy � tear-up a white bed sheet, toilette paper is not good, it tears and looks crappy if it rains! 2.) Gypsy � grab mom�s skirt and jewelry, lots of it. 3.) Bum � grab dad�s suite, rub some dirt on your face. 4.) Ghost � same bed sheet only cut two holes in it instead of tearing it up. 5.) Auto Mechanic � borrow Uncle Roger�s coveralls and a wrench. 6.) Swami � wrap a towel around your head, and one of dad�s white shirts and put on a pair of sandals. 7.) Neo � black long coat, black pants, black shoes and sun glasses. 8.) Lumberjack � plaid shirt, suspenders, jeans, heavy wool socks and boots. You can carry a nerf axe. 9.) Blues Brother � blue suit, hat and sun glasses. 10.) Doctor � blue pants, white lab coat. To make it more real, stuff you pockets with money, pretend money like from Monopoly. |
