Hi Vera!

Welcome to Hoggies! Your application looks great so far and I can't wait to see Vera around the boards! There is just one thing we'll need you to revise and then we can get you accepted.

In role-plays, we ask that people write their posts in past tense and third person, as specified in the following rule:

Quote
Please write in third person past tense (e.g. 'she walked in').

You wrote the sample in third person, but if you could revise your tenses to be on past tense, that would be great!

Once you've made those changes, please reply here with your entire revised application and we can get you accepted.

If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to contact me or another member of staff.

Hi Cordelia!

Welcome to Hoggies! Your app looks wonderful! Cordelia seems really fascinating.

There is just one thing that we'll need you to change. Under magical strengths, could you list one of the three other core subjects (Charms, Transfiguration or Conjuring/Summoning)?

Just reply here with that change. There is no need to copy the whole application.

Hi Drogo!

Welcome to Hoggies. I really enjoyed reading your application. I sent you a PM with some questions. So if you could reply to that when convenient, then we can work on getting you sorted.

Hi Percival!

Welcome to Hoggies! I can't wait to see you around the site.

Your application looks great so far. We'll just need you to make a couple of changes to your RP sample. On the site, we ask people to write threads in the past tense (as if in a story describing something that had happened, rather than what is currently happening). If you could write your sample in the past tense, that would be great.

We'd also love it if you expand your sample a bit (to around nine sentences). Picture what Percival is thinking as he arrives, and sees Hugh. What is he feeling? Seeing? Feel free to use the initial post for clues :)

When you've made those changes please reply here with your entire revised application.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or another member of staff. Thanks! I can't wait to see you around.

Hi Isaac!

Welcome to Hoggies!

Your application looks great and I can't wait to see Isaac around the board. There is just one thing we'll need you to change. You mention the Muggle/Squib integration program which didn't exist in our canon at the time. Since we don't want applications to conflict with existing canon (since we write in that era) and our active Ministry, we ask that you remove that reference to the Ministry's program.  You could just say that he applied with encouragement from others. 

Once you have made that change, please reply here with your entire revised application.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me or another staff member.

Thanks, and I can't wait to see you around the site!

Hi Jasper! Welcome to Hoggies!

Your application looks great so far! There are just a couple of things we'll need you to do before we can get you accepted.

First, in our site canon, Jasper's occupation would be considered unusual. So that means that you will either need to change his occupation, or submit a special request to the administrators for approval. The templates for special requests can be found here (just scroll down until you find the template for unusual occupations).

There are also a few instances in powerplay (which are defined in the site rules). First, you wrote:
Quote
The man he was waiting for was coming down the street, his arms full of tinsel and a parcel. Jasper’s eyes lingered on the parcel.
This would be considered powerplay, as a pre-existing relationship has not been plotted out beforehand with the man's player. You could say that Jasper was waiting for a random target, and then decide that the other character is the perfect target.

Second, you wrote:
Quote
He quickly grabbed the tinsel the man had dropped and handed it back to him theatrically enough to tangle it a bit. Jasper turned as the man fidgeted with the tinsel and picked up his own parcel and handed it to the man, being sure to claim the man’s parcel as his own.
With objects that are owned by someone else (or objects that we are handing back to others, we always need to attempt our actions to allow the other player to decide what happens. In this instance, you could say that Jasper attempted to hand the man the tinsel and package.

If you could make the changes and reply with your entire revisted application, then we can take another look. If you have questions, don't hesitate to PM me or another member of staff.

Hi Eliana!

Thanks for making the requested updates!

There is still a small changes we need you to make in the RP sample before we can accept you.

In the RP section, you wrote:

Quote
The two of them stared at each other for quite some time and Eliana was completely unsure of the situation she'd stumbled into.

This quote still considered powerplay, meaning that you are assuming what another character is doing and saying.

Your post assumes the actions of Hugh's character. Hugh's player would need to specify in their whether he would stare back for quite some time. You could say something like "Eliana paused for what felt to her like an eternity, unsure of what situation she stumbled into."

Once you've made the changes, please reply here with your entire revised application.

If you have any questions, feel free to message either myself or another member of staff.

Thanks!
