Harry Potter Fan

I have been here since 2003. I am what is considered a 'senior member' and I think it's about time for me to look at all you N00bs and shout "Knock it off!"

How many of you even read the books before? Do any of you realize that electronic equipment such as cell phone, i-pods, and regular phones even do not work near Hogwarts? Hermione brings it up several times. These things don't work because magic interferes with the electricity! And yes, things with batteries have electricity.

And seriously, if you are supposed to be at Hogwarts, why would you spend all your time 'partying'? Now c'mon, I know you guys aren't losers, but how many 'wild' parties have you been to in your short lifespans? I'm almost 17, and I've been to a total of 2 'wild' parties. And, I won't lie to you, it's hard to count how many parties I've been to where drinking was a major factor. But they weren't wild. It's things like 'wild' parties that make most people think that teenagers are good-for-nothings.

And some of you need to stop and think before you reply to a thread. Especially if it's an RP. RP's are story's, and randomly adding something stupid is disrespectful to those who actually like doing these RPs. Don't join an RP and take over it. How do you know if that person had a plan for the RP or not?

Also, I think you should all be aware of Kiara's stories. As a general rule, we have followed those for a basic storyline. I suggest you at least find them and skim through them.

Again, I've been here for four years, coming up on five. I've seen internet fights come and go, about more important things then imaginary characters. Now seriously, people! Get a grip on reality! Just cause your character is 'dating' another doesn't mean a d**n thing when the world goes up in flames. As for 'so-and-so's mine!' I just want to shoot the people who do that. It's annoying as hell. In life, you can like as many people as you want, and nobody can stop you. Why not on a forum. Just don't start a serious fight over it. Now, an RP fight would be interesting, as long as it isn't too ridiculous.

Now, this site isn't a popularity contest. If it was, I would win by default (that was a joke, losers). You don't have to be 'pretty, skinny, sexy, hot' or anything else. I mean, c'mon! I have Ginny a bit pretty, but I wouldn't call her a beauty. She's average in weight, a bit short and the most remarkable thing about her appearacne is her hair!

Think about you. The real you. What don't you like about yourself? A character has to have some flaws, right? Ginny is a depressive maniac who can't control her powers half the time, or her emotions. She gets upset easily, and hates the smell of blood. Plus, in most cases, she's a total klutz.

Does that sound perfect to you? I spent a long time developing Ginny this way, so I don't expect you guys to have great characters in a few days. But I hate shallow people. They annoy me.

Now, if you have read that entire rant, I offer congratulations. And my best wishes. Hopefully, you will follow some of my advice. I love this forum very much. This is my escape from life, when my own depression gets the better of me. I'm sure you would like this to be such a place for yourself, which is good.

And if you have flames, you can post them here if you want others to see your stupidity. Or you can PM me. I'll read it either way.

Yeah, guys, I applaud you for wanting to be involved. But you don't have to reply to every thread as soon as possible. Here's a hint: wait for the right time! Give the current story some time to develop. If the RP is in it's beginnings, with many opening, go ahead and reply. If you can't think of anything to reply with, then DON'T.
Nothing is worse than a forced entry.

[Addition]
I also have a problem with post length in RPs. I understand how sometimes there seems to be nothing to say, but really, one-liners can get rather annoying. You need to describe things, guys. You need to tell how your character feels, how they look, what they plan to do. Explain, not only with dialogue, but in actions.
Don't make your character just stand there and talk, include as much as you can think of. And always make sure it coincides with the rest of the RP. If you don't get what I mean, go read some of the old threads.

[Addition]
You wanna know something? You are all n00bs. And n00bs are stupid.
You classify as a n00b if you do any of the following;
1.) Always (in RPs and OCC) type without punctuation, proper spelling, and/or grammar.
2.) You feel the need to jump down others member's throats because your so-called intelligence has been mildly insulted. Get an ego check.
3.) You think your opinion about everything is the only one and that yours is the right one. Shut up. No one loves you, and no one cares.
4.) You have the balls to try and start a fight with someone much more literate and smarter than you. Just. Don't. You will be made to look like a fool.
5.) You think your character is the "main" character of this site. Um...no. They aren't.
6.) You think everyone wants to join the RPs you have made. No, we don't. Because you type like a little kid and act like an idiot.
7.) You joined within the last 6 months.
And if you don't like it, deal with it.

[Addition]
When entering an RP, think about how you want the characters to establish contact. It's okay to first reply without making contact, but after that, if the person who made the RP doesn't establish contact, you should! Don't just type one friggin' line about how you noticed someone!

[Addition]
Again...post length. Now, it doesn't have to be like...nine million lines long. Not everyone is able to churn out the kind of responses Xaver and myself can.
But what you guys CAN do is put more than what your character says. You can also put more than one action. As Harry (the old one) always said, how often do people just say one or two words and move one part of their body? Not only that...it seems like none of your characters ever think anything!
Here's some examples.
Do NOT do this;
She smiled. "Thanks."

Do something like This;
Ginny smiled, nodding her head with gratitude, "Thanks so much." She told him, shaking his hand. "I really appreciate this. I'll never forget it." She really was happy about his helping her, for few people ever did. It meant a lot to her that someone was willing to go out of their way for her.

[Addition]
When in an RP, try and give everyone a chance to reply. Sometimes, the opportunity is just too good to pass up, but make sure you leave an opening somewhere where people can come back in.
BE PATIENT when waiting. Just because you are online doesn't mean the rest of us are going to be. I get on at the strangest times, and half the time I don't reply to anything. When I'm good and ready, I will post.
Not before.

[Addition]
I reiterate.
Ginny is going to be more powerful. Because guess what? I've been on this site for five years, I've earned every power. Deal with it. If I power play a little bit, it's because I know how tempting it is for you guys to power play a LOT.
I've sage advice, you know.

[Addition]
Spam is EVIL. If you want to have a friggin' conversation, do it in PMs. Do not start random conversation n a topic unless the topic is made for such things! That's why there are such topics.
I saw someone say "Well, then we will talk about the topic and only the topic."
THAT'S THE POINT YOU NIMRODS!
And when someone tells you to stop it, don't argue. JUST STOP. It's not that hard!
Fighting on the internet is like racing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you are STILL RETARDED.

[Addition]
Like Billie and Sky said, if you join a topic, do NOT make it about you unless you have the creator's permission. If you want an RP about your character, then make a new one!
If nobody joins, then nobody cares about it. So too bad.
Certain times, changing the initial subject of an RP is ok. If the creator writes themselves out, if you guys have hit a wall, if you need just a little something to spice it up. Don't go into an RP about one thing and make it about how your character is so smart and strong and powerful. You just look like a jerk ontop of being a n00b.

[Addition]
I know you guys love Twilight. I have yet to read it, but it appears to be very interesting and a good story. But here's the thing. WE ARE A HARRY POTTER FORUM! It's okay to use some material from a book you love. But honestly, you guys have GOT to remember where you are! Vampires are NOT that common in England in the Harry Potter universe.
Please, restrain yourselves.

If you must have a vampire, let's get some things straight.
1.) They don't live forever. Just longer than humans, by a few hundred years.
2.) They are MORTAL. Which means they can die from being punched in the nose the right way.
3.) They don't HAVE to feed from humans. They just like it better, and it's more nurishing.
If you have any questions, please PM me.

[Addition]
DO NOT make a million characters until you have one really good one! Having more than one charatcer is stupid when you can hardly write with the one you have. Please try and improve your first character before you consider making a second one, ok?

[Addition]
Your characters have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Well, good for them. But that doesn't mean that YOU have a boyfriend or girlfriend!
Don't take internet romantic relationships seriously! They count for NOTHING. Not to mention, having your characters become engaged at 12 is stupid. If you want your characters to get married, make a future RP.

I love that post. Ginny I also agree with you

 I agreewith you about the boyfriend thing even though i am new. i think its stupid!!!ROCK ON!!!!!
Love Natalie

Thank you Sarah and Natalie.

lmao WOW, i'm pretty sure you kept that in for a while. I just wanna say sorry if i did any of those, but i don't think so cause my character is based on just chilling and quidditch. You got me on the partying thing though lol

Ginny i agree to! When i came here ( for 2 months ago...) I was a NOOB!
I was thinking that I were the one who could take the storylines and change it just like I wanted.
But now i've got Rp, But it is a little hard for these new guys who never have read one of Kiara's storyes! I have read some but not as much as you Ginny! And yes it have been a lot of partying now and no classes and that stuff! I have waited for a class Rp in a long time. And i'm sick of partying partying. I am now going too get some old Kiaras story's read!

PS. I am a klutz too and I am soon gonna take and make my profile again. Because in the start i just wanted too just PERFECT but i'm seeing now on nearly everyones profile: Beatiful, Skinny, Really hot!
That is just dumb.

im guilty...

yeah, me too. :-\

How do I plead? Guilty. :-[

I'd have to agree with you Ginny. I'd have to say that I have read the books and they aren't about partying. I haven't been here very long and I really don't like how they girls are constantly all over the guys. I hate dramatic people. They just really get on my nerves. I like it though that people have cell phones and ipods and stuff tho, its kinda a twist on Hogwarts.

hehe so many new people....sorry I haven't been on a while....nice speech Ginny ;)

HI CHO!

This one bothered me a bit, but not as much as the rest. I've seen people pull out CD players and such, but they would stop and explain that it took them a bit, but they had gotten the machine to work with the magic, instead of against it.

As for cell phones, service would be unavailable, if you stop to consider it. So far away from civilization, and towers don't go far. Besides, the magic spells used to protect the school from muggles wouldn't allow service.

yeah people....this is why we have a magical school that TEACHES us MAGIC.....lolz....hey Albus long time no see ;D

Yeah.... And I agree there with you Ginny abaut those cell phones and that stuff.

That's another thing. No offense to anyone, but I've been here a long time, and Ginny is bound to be more powerful then you guys.

Of course.

one thing that really pisses me off in this is when people start acting like hereos. They tell of some story of them owning Voldemort and everyone else. Yea and Ginny's right. If you've been here longer you should have more respect and more power.

yeah!

[Addition]

Ahaha...
My guy is kinda... yeah, like you described.
He has flaws though.
:]

Thank you Ginny, for posting that.
I think I might have fallen guilty to a couple, if not more, that the ones you have mentioned.

I also believe that you had to have been here longer to get more respect.

You wanna know something? You are all n00bs. And n00bs are stupid.

You classify as a n00b if you do any of the following;

7.) You joined within the last 6 months.

And if you don't like it, deal with it.

Ok, that really makes sense. Now I need to remember when I first got on...

Yes... Those people is VERY annoying... but until some few days i am one of those...:)
But Ginny. Your totally right.

And thanks to you and this topic, I am trying to make myself better in grammar punctation and so on.

I've joined in the last six monthes.  :(

Im not sure if I have or not. And yes, you are right.

Being a n00b isn't all bad. You will eventually grow out of it. Some faster than other's, however.

Ah yes, n00b's(newbee's as i call them) very irritable subject for me.

I don't mind you guys...most of the time. One thing that does bother me is when people randomly pop into very serious thread's at the wrong time and ask to shake Sirius's hand or just walk past. Honestly, do you even care if he was about to do something? Sirius could be dying for all you know, but nope you just pop in say hi then walk out. I mean, come on.

Am I still one? I'm going to guess yes but I want someone elses opinion.

Am I one?

If I had to decide, Vanessa even though I hate the High School Musical character, no...slowly you're turning into a mature regular. In your RP's though. I can't picture you in the older threads though.

Corbin...I don't know you well enough so I couldn't decide that one!

If you are any of these 7 things. Yes, your a newbee/N00b.

[Addition]

None of you would ever excel as an author as a book. Really, you are worthless for plot lines, or even supporting cast characters. You type as though your character is an omnipresent person who knows exactly what the other character is always thinking.

You are all so stupid! learn to type! Learn to write! Until then, don't bother RPing with me, as I will only smash your character into pieces!

Ha, I'm surprised anyone even trys to post with you Ginny, not only are you more advanced in your writing and such but newbee's can't keep up with how much you write out at one time. Ah I remember when I was a newbee and I would get angry at you you typing such long posts. = D Now I prefer it.

Note to newbee's: Stay away from Ginny. Haha

lol..... I also can remember when I first came to the site. When I saw a long Rp post I just read it badly and then posted a one liner...
I didn't like them too.... :P but now I prefer to have longer posts but sometimes i do a little one liner...
Often that is when I am tired or having bad time...

Same goes with me as with Ginny.  If you try to RP with me with only one liners, I will act like you are under some weird spell and are not able to talk and act normally.  Ask the people from Sins not Tragadies, I did that to them. 

Since in truth, if you saw someone, say one line, and move one body part at a time, then another perosn do the same...you would be like O.O

I really try not to have oe liners, although when someone randomly says something, that is out of subject or a one liner its kind of hard. I was also scared of Ginny's post. They were really big, luckily I have a friend on the site (Jessie) who showed me the ins and outs, most at least. One more thing, am I considered a "nOOb"? I really can't exactly remember when I first logged on.  

Yeah I am one and I will start to do better.
So you don't have to worry I will learn how to type and spell
I am the worst speller ever so if I make a mistake I will correct it.

Wow.
Ginny.
Thank you.
Hahah...

I bet this is gettin' a lot off of your chests.


Also, I may not post as much as the Noobs, well...
Pretty much...
I have other stuff to do.
Anyway...

I am one of the older people on this site.

And yes, everyone is a noob.
At one point, anyway.

DON'T under any circumstance, attempt to join Harry or Ginny's RP's.
And, if they come back, Fawkes, Lavy, or Neo.
They will smash you until you break.

Now, some points on what Ginny wrote:

"Always (in RPs and OCC) type without punctuation, proper spelling, and/or grammar."
- Oh my Jesus.
NO ONE, no matter how cool you think you are, says OMG or LOL or TTYL in real life.
Don't do it.

"You feel the need to jump down others member's throats because your so-called intelligence has been mildly insulted. Get an ego check."
- HAHA.... Get a life. Go back to elementary school to learn your grammer.

"You think your opinion about everything is the only one and that yours is the right one. Shut up. No one loves you, and no one cares."
- Haha.... I can only laugh.

"You have the balls to try and start a fight with someone much more literate and smarter than you. Just. Don't. You will be made to look like a fool."
-You wanna know who not to mess with on this site?
Ginny. Harry. Me. ANY of the older people.

"You think your character is the "main" character of this site. Um...no. They aren't."
- Indeed.
You are not the most powerful.
You are not cool.
You shouldn't even try.

"You think everyone wants to join the RPs you have made. No, we don't. Because you type like a little kid and act like an idiot."
- addition to this...
If you wanna start an RP, don't start it like this ::
   [[ Al was laying on the ground, and looking up, waiting for someone to come. ]]
Chances are, there's no way you magically appeared there.
Give some emotion, talk about the weather or how you ended up at that particular spot. Describe the scenery and what your character is thinking.

"You joined within the last 6 months."
- Pretty d**n self explanatory.

AHAHAHAAAAA!

Al, you just made my horrible night awesome with that! Thank you. I love your additional comments!

Ah yes yes yes perfect, right on the spot. Ha ha I remember reading a few of those good times, good times.

Honestly I find it entertaining when newbee's complain to me about how my friend's are being rude. (Ginny, Al...etc.) I just laugh to myself over here and help you through it but honestly, if you don't like how they act...stay away from them! Its as simple as that. I'm not naming any names and I will still help you through it if you come running but honestly sometimes I just about laugh myself silly.

I'm in the center, I definitely enjoy the longer posts much better then one liners but it is so hard to find others to post with lately that will post long ones that sooner or later I just go back to the newbee's. Oh wellz I have fun with you guys but just letting you know, if ever I have to chose sides, yeah I'm picking the old guys without a doubt.

Nice one Al.  And Lola, I havn't RPed with you yet so I can't tell if you are a noob or not, but I count someone not a noob if they 'try' to post longer.  If anyone want an actually meaningful RP, talk to one of the older people, I know it is hard to RP longer if everyone else is posting 1 liners, it is a self repeating cycle. 

And for those who say they can't spell right...use a word processor with spell check.  That is what I do most of the time.  It tells you 90% of your mistakes and also shows you what your post will most likely appear like in length on a forum. 

Recently finding spell check has done wonders for me. I am without a doubt one of the worst spellers I know and clicking on spell check used to seem like a hassle, but now I love it and I barely post anything with words without checking it first. Ha ha, spell check: my new best friend.

haha.... Spell check is a good friend.... Especially to me, an 11 year old boy from Norway.
Good comments Al... Really good and funny points there....

Just want to mention something!

I've noticed that recently people, have been posting in old threads, just to get thir post count higher or something like that. To those people: Stop doing that! Those people who you replyed on is not on the site anymore ( Most)! For a few days ago I saw someone reply a 5 year old topic.
It really bugs me that people do that! So please! Stop!

[Addition]

I just want to say something...and this goes for most of you. When entering an RP, think about how you want the characters to establish contact. It's okay to first reply without making contact, but after that, if the person who made the RP doesn't establish contact, you should! Don't just type one friggin' line about how you noticed someone! Jeeze! You guys need to learn how to role play!

I know you say stay away from her, but I like RPlaying with her because she does correct me ,and it helps me become a better RPlayer. TO Anyone if you seen something wrong with my posts tell me and I'll fix it. I want to be a good RPlayer and would rather not be hated.

lol...Ginny and few other older members are the best role players here...even though I can say I suck......oh yeah.....Ginny always mention this but people use spell check.....or at least try and spell right so your sentences make sense....

sorry if someone already said that......

[Addition]
Again...post length. Now, it doesn't have to be like...nine million lines long. Not everyone is able to churn out the kind of responses Xaver and myself can.

But what you guys CAN do is put more than what your character says. You can also put more than one action. As Harry (the old one) always said, how often do people just say one or two words and move one part of their body? Not only that...it seems like none of your characters ever think anything!

BE PATIENT when waiting. Just because you are online doesn't mean the rest of us are going to be. I get on at the strangest times, and half the time I don't reply to anything. When I'm good and ready, I will post.
Not before.

Exactly! Thank you Ginny! New members need to realize that a fun RP requires a lot of thinking and interaction.

I come on here when I'm back from school, and that is 2-3 PM. How many people are on then?
None... So... In many Rp's, I just have to give up when some people have written six extra pages!
And THAT aggravates me to no end when I'm in a Rp that I really wanna be in!

Completely right Ginny! I'm sick of this, and hoping that people will learn to be patient in RPs.

I agree with Ginny on everything I've read so far.  You beginners are starting to get ridiculous.  Even though I am still a noob, I don't really act like one, and you all shouldn't either.  That means DON'T JUMP IN AN RP IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL TO ADD!  Don't just jump in and be all like "Hi I like soup.  Bye!"  Also, stay on the main topic of the topic starter, because it isn't your topic to change.

Good one, Ginny.


Spam IS evil. Fortunantely, it's not as bad as it was for a while ago...

And people. Let me say this one more time. IT'S NOT THE POST COUNT THAT MATTERS, IT'S THE QUALITY OF THE POSTS THAT YOU MAKE THAT MATTER.

And, something Harry said to me and some others, a while ago,

'When you RP, you should always do the best! You should always do your absolute best,
and not what you 'can do today''         Try to make it a rule for yourself, that before you post in a Rp,
ask youselves. Is this the best I can do?

Now, I'm not trying to say that I am perfect, you guys. You suck!

I know that I have posts that really are short in RPs, where it could be a lot longer!
So let's all go together, and get better! And RP! How did Ginny, Harry, Xaver, and many of 'the oldies' get
better? They RPed, and they did their best.     

*Albus*

There, I just added all of the additions to the first post. Take a nice long look!

Teehee, after reading that long rant I just have to say one thing about Ginny Weasley.

1. You terrify not only my character but myself in real life.
2. You are a very mature and experienced writer and for that I congratulate you.
3. You are sometimes hard to understand but it is all good.
4. Your insights on newbee's is both entertaining but understandable and I see where your coming from.
5. You are amazing and one of my close friends on this website.

Thanks for being you Ginny.

Yeah, you're intimidating, but I hope your my friend too :D

I just wish more people would read this. Some newbies come in and act like they can make stuff up...no matter if it's too powerful for their person...it's stupid.

What makes me mad is when new peoples.. *Even though I'm still sorta new*  Come in and change the subject on the RP posts and make it about them.. I mean if I make a post I don't want people coming in and making it all about them.. I mean I don't want them taking it over and them and someone else move from like the Gryffindor commonroom to the forest well the maker of that post isn't there.. It just pushes my buttons... and another thing is when someone comes in and they think that they are more powerful then the people who have been here longest... I mean I made my characters strong but I would easily let Ginny Sarah Sarah Sky... over power my character.. but as for Albus it would be a close fight and I would prolly let him win.. but people who come in and say that they are better at fighting then others that just bugs me crazy..

Okay I think I'm done now... tehe

I agree 100%. (and thanks for putting me on the awesome list.) CERTAIN people on this site go around making things about them and whatnot. But we can't do anything but teach them the appropriate way to RP.

Its not that I like the people who I named more then others... its just they've been here longer... and I also would lose to Xaver.. I haven't ever RP'd with him or Sirius.. But I would like to someday..

If we RPed with Xaver, We'd be dead before even typing.

Thats why I think I will wait until I get muches better at writing before RPing with him... and I have to work just to try and keep up with Ginny.. sometimes I can.. other times I'm like wow. I'm still working on it though!!

Xav's awesome.  ;D
One of my bestest friends.
Sirius too!

Know how I said You're intimidating?


Well I think Xaver might be more. And he's a she isn't it?

Another side note for Rookehs: DON'T SEND US PM'S TO POST WITH YOU IN A TOPIC!
     If we don't want to join, we won't. If we want to, then we will post. But seriously, it is so annoying when people do that.

No offense Ginny, but you and Xav can scare the poop out of me sometimes. You know that?  I never get to post with you two.  ;D I'm a bit afraid I'll do something wrong and get blasted into tiny bits  :o :o

Sirius's ego would probably get the better of him, or he would be to manly to fight a girl. You'd win if he did either of those things ha.

That's right, I'd better be Ginny WEASLeY.

Heeheehee.

It's true, we tend to just leave people in our dust. But that's usually because our posts almost demand a reply. We force ourselves to stop and wait for people sometimes. It's hard, but possible.

[Addition]

Like Billie and Sky said, if you join a topic, do NOT make it about you unless you have the creator's permission. If you want an RP about your character, then make a new one!
If nobody joins, then nobody cares about it. So too bad.

Certain time, changing the initial subject of an RP is ok. If the creator writes themselves out, if you guys have hit a wall, if you need just a little something to spice it up. Don't go into an RP about one thing and make it about how your character is so smart and strong and powerful. You just look like a jerk on top of being a n00b.

--Ouch.
Give me some credit here, the situations Xaver's lost it, he's had good reason.
Otherwise, Xaver Xian is very much a gentleman. (At least he tries to be..)

--I've had a helluva year, so I've only been RPing on HPFF here with Gin over the last few months. I dropped every other RP. My RPing became very minimalized, which has only been very little in the number of posties, anyway. I'm lucky Gin's patient ^_^
However, if you ever wanted to RP with me, all you ever had t' do was ask, silly goose. I'm totally up for RPing with anybody, so long as you're not just giving me one liners. I believe that no matter what your talent is, if you're really trying and putting effort into the post and the thread's storyline, that's cool. Trying ends up equalling more than one line =)
Would you like to RP?

At one point in time I myself posted with only Ginny and Xaver. I'm not gonna lie, those were some of my favorite threads ever because I never had realized my full potential on writing until after I started with them. The memories at HPFF have been fun, sad, disturbing, scary, but all in all a very big part of my life. I love this place, and I'd love to stay on here I just seem to be running out of ideas for my character seeing as how when I was a newbee I was immature and made mistakes not thinking of the future for my character.

[Addition]

I know you guys love Twilight. I have yet to read it, but it appears to be very interesting and a good story. But here's the thing. WE ARE A HARRY POTTER FORUM! It's okay to use some material from a book you love. But honestly, you guys have GOT to remember where you are! Vampires are NOT that common in England in the Harry Potter universe.
Please, restrain yourselves.

If you must have a vampire, let's get some things straight.
1.) They don't live forever. Just longer than humans, by a few hundred years.
2.) They are MORTAL. Which means they can die from being punched in the nose the right way.
3.) They don't HAVE to feed from humans. They just like it better, and it's more nurishing.
If you have any questions, please PM me.

[Addition]

DO NOT make a million characters until you have one really good one! Having more than one charatcer is stupid when you can hardly write with the one you have. Please try and improve your first character before you consider making a second one, ok?

And to add the the vampire thing.. umm yea.. well so far there are many different kinds of vampires on this site.. and it doesn't make sense to some people.. EXAMPLE.. My vampires cant change someone just by biting them.. and others can.. and I think there are way to many vampires.. I mean come on people think of the other creatures you could be.. theres Werewolfs and fearies and normal witchs and wizards.. and loads of other things.. so think about how many of a race there is before you decide what your gonna be.. I'm done for now.. lol

I think that we should make a topic, and by we I mean Ginny because clearly you have the most Harry Potter based knowledge on the subject. She should make a topic stating the basic rules of being a vampire. I think everyone has slightly differed versions and I think it would be easier to be on the same page.

Oh, and if there already is a topic and I look like a complete idiot right now, lemme know.

[Addition]

Your characters have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Well, good for them. But that doesn't mean that YOU have a boyfriend or girlfriend!

For example, Xaver is Ginny's husband. But Xav (as the person playing Xaver) is not MY husband. Nor my boyfriend. ESPECIALLY since Xav is a girl.

She is, however, one of my best friends.

Don't take internet romantic relationships seriously! They count for NOTHING.

I'm scared, Ginny is the only who is allowed to make me scared out of my wits. Thanks for scaring me out of my wits. I'm gonna hide under some blankets and wait for my parents to come home from the special Christmas dinner at Boston Pizza with Wal-Mart mangers. *Hides.*

As always, I enjoy Ginny's additions to this topic.  :)

I'm hoping for another newbie to do something dumb so that you'll post in here!
Always a pleasure, and you mention things, that even I haven't spent time thinking about, that hit me right in the guts, thinking, YEAH! And agreeing...

Is it healthy to quote yourself?
-grin-
Ohhh, well. I'm doing it anyway.

Why, of course! Which is why I bother you so much. I only bother muh friends! Haha.

Ah Gin, your rant makes me ashamed a little. I have myself in the past stretched a story, posted many one-liners, made myself powerful (the protector of Heaven, COME ON!), and I am too scared to check the forum stats because I don't wanna see Infection or Harry Potter Movie Mistakes 3(wasn't even in an RP!) on there(OH GOD, I WAS SO d**n RETARDED BACK THEN!) on the top 10 posted threads. Those threads have no potential and others deserve those rankings more!

Everyone I am so FREAKING sorry for my past on here! I can't atone! I feel like a plague!

Ginny, are you accepting confessions?

When I first started here I hate Ginny. Sirius along with me on this keyboard hated that smug little "Ginny Weasly" (who's name still makes me laugh by the way) who always took over posts and thought she was all that.

I was so just, not even open to other people back then. I was to concerned about how my character could be the best, and when she comes in and outshines me both myself and my character hated it.

It is funny how things change isn't it? I used to revolve around one liners with all my starter friends, don't get me wrong I still love posting with you guys, but now I strive to fit in with Ginny and Xaver. I hope I do it alright, I mean I know I am nothing compared to you guys in writing, but just saying it is my favorite part about this website now and I love the times that I am able to post with you both.

When I said "starter friends" I didn't mean that in a bad way. Now though I seem to have two different groups that I hang out with on here, or at least I did but considering I barely post anymore (which I plan to change) it is hard to say I have any groups anymore. I love all the different people that Sirius is able to interact with and as do I interact with you guys, but I also hate the difference between a thread with a Classic and a thread with my best friends from way back when. I wish we could all have the writing abilities to post together, but I guess I understand why we all go our own ways on this forum.

I feel like I'm in school all over again with all of these groups and clique's and stuff.
I don't know, I just thought I would say a few things about that.

I'm going to go ahead and mention what I said up there before about how I hated you Ginny. I did hate you, but now I'm beyond jealous of you and Xaver. You guys are amazing and actually an inspiration to the writing that I now strive to accomplish. This website hasn't just been an entertaining thing to do for me, but it has also made my writing skills increase, and I learn so much on here about imagination and again writing skills that make a part of who I am today.


P.S. Spell Check is a wonderful thing! Take advantage of its abilities!
I'll shut up now. = ].

*snorts* I hated you too, newbie. <3333
Honest to God truth, I dislike most newbies.

But thank you for saying me and Xav are amazing...we are, aren't we? rofl...

You see, the way I see it, HPFF is a beginners RP site. We don't have a lot of rules, and the ones we do have are basics at any RP forum. Here, we teach you more about how to become a better writer. I see it kinda like a job!
Cause I love to force learning on people...

Can you tell I plan to be a teacher?

I know that when writer's create works a character in there creation so to speak relates to them. Do you follow me? J.K. Rowling probably finds herself relating to a certain character in the book more then others. Its just a common thing for writers.

I'm going to say this out of total respect for you and fear of you Ginny, I really hope that the part of Ginny that you relate to most isn't the murdering heartless part of her. For the sake of the children that you will teach. ; )

<3 Only kidding. But, I am terrified of you so that works.

A penance is an action or actions after confession to begin atoning. So, I need one of those so I can sleep soundly tonight.

Modified the first post again.

Just the last addition.  ;)
