[Announcement] New year, new everything!

It's finally September playtime again and we all know what that means! This month all SIX schools will open their doors to eagerish students. A bright new year is about to begin, chock-full of challenging magic, playful adventures, and teenage heartbreak. Unlike previous terms, this September all schools will begin the year during the same playtime month, meaning there is going to be a lot going on. With the changing of playtime to September no new threads can be started at the Academy Anansi however you are welcome to finish the threads you currently have. The Positions list has been updated, please let us know if you are interested in creating a professor character at any of the played schools! In addition to all of the Beginning of Term threads and plots, we have quite a few surprises in store for you (and plenty more planned to come!). We hope you have a great school year. Thank you, ~The Admin Team & the Plot Committee A school release that needs no introduction, Ilvermorny is finally available as a playable school on the boards. The forward-thinking, free-spirited mountaintop academy has plenty in store this coming term. Don't forget to check out the amazing guide, a whole new line up of magical and exciting classes, a new wizarding district, and the student government! After a less-than-successful merge with their Muggleborn counterpart, the educational institute of Durmstrang has ousted the crazed former Headmistress and cleaned house. Keep your eyes out for some new additions to the Durmstrang population this year including an eager and rather debonair new Headmaster with the students' best interests in mind and possibly a dragon or two... The magical school of Koldovstoretz is re-opening its doors this year to all of its former students (and a few new ones). For the first time ever, Koldovstoretz will be a played school on the boards of Magical Hogwarts. There are new subjects, a mystical mountain with a few surprises, and a Wizarding town with a Pirate Ship in the middle of the lake! The legendary school of Mahoutokoro is accepting students of all ages into its ranks for the new term. With exciting new plots and magical subjects found no where else, Mahoutokoro is the place to be! We highly encourage members to take a look at the exceptional School Guide and all that it has to offer. After a war devastated the country and a magical Dome came crashing down upon the castle, the students of Hogwarts have gotten more than their fair share of hardship. This year, however, it seems like their luck is about to change. Maybe it will finally be a quiet, peaceful year at Hogwarts? Maybe. In addition to a thrilling new plot, the Beauxbatons team has been working hard to revamp the Student Service program! There is now a dedicated board for threads having to do with the service and new rewards for participation including x5 FPP points and shiny award badges for the trophy closet. Look for an announcement soon regarding Student Services and aging students up.

There are so many things happening during the playtime month of September we thought it would be a good idea to bring all of the links together. Make sure to check back here because we will update this list as Beginning of Term threads and Informational posts about the upcoming term are made!
