[HP4GU-FAQ] Re: New FPs

[elfundeb]

Hi all --

Cindy suggested we post our outlines here, so below is a very preliminary outline I came up with for DEs, Aurors and Wizarding Justice, as revised to reflect Porphyria's comments.  It's not an organizational outline so much as a list of topics, which I did based on a quick review of what's in the catalogues.  (BTW, the catalogues were very easy to use -- I just used the sort function, which allowed me to search several topic terms at once.  So I can get started without waiting for Dicey's master catalogue.  For some reason, though, I couldn't get my filter to work.)

I'm planning to start on the justice side, and Porphyria will start with the Dark Mark.  

Penny suggested combining Government with this FP.  We're thinking about whether that makes sense.  It fits with the Justice side well, but not as well with the DE side. I had somewhat envisioned the pairing of DEs, Aurors and justice as suggesting a cops and robbers flavor, and there's a lot more to the government FP than law enforcement.  Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?  If we don't combine them, I will do a Government update as part of this project.

Advice on what's left out would be much appreciated.

Debbie
