From coriolan at coriolan_cmc.yahoo.invalid Thu Apr 6 00:16:00 2006 From: coriolan at coriolan_cmc.yahoo.invalid (Caius Marcius) Date: Thu, 06 Apr 2006 00:16:00 -0000 Subject: Harry Potter Filks: Three New Musicals Message-ID: Harry Potter Filks was updated with 85 new filks from seven contributors, including three new full-length musicals: The 66th Annual Dark Wizards Conspiracy, based on The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a musical by Salazar and a sequal to my 2004 musical A Vast-LEPHT Wing Conspiracy. It seems that the results of the first contest were invalidated due to the use of the Imperius, so our favorite villains must once again compete for the privilege of dispatching Potter. A second Salazar musical, Les Serpentards, a 45-filk extravanganza, is based on Les Miz as it dramatizes The Rise and Fall of The Dark Arts, fron the 10th Century death of Slytherin to the 20th Century death of Dumbledore. Finally, loki gives us a Remus J. Lupin saga in The Dark Side of Mooney, based on Pink Floyd.

No cross-overs, no everyone is gay at Hogwarts syndrome, with a strong focus on quality writing and believable character development. --Administrated by three adults with extensive experience in both role-playing and game administration. Haunted Chambers is a very lose-flowing game, spanning several decades of wizarding history, including MWPP era, first-war forums as well as Trio-era and present day forums. Our focus is on character development and exploration instead of a strict linear plot line. While plot is certainly an important part of any storytelling endeavor, we strive to give our players an opportunity to greater explore the path their characters have traveled to reach the current era. Much of the action in this game takes place in the world beyond Hogwarts, focusing on the realm of the adult interactions and the wider wizarding world. Players applying for 'student' characters should expect to need to be self-motivating and self-driving in forming relationships and interactions with other players on the board. Shopkeepers, Ministry Employees, Aurors, Order Members, Death Eaters, Hospital workers, the possibilities are endless for characters and game interaction. The administration team closely screens all applicants for quality of writing, depth of character development, avoidance of Mary Sueisms, and a solid grasp of canon. This is administrated by three adults with a great deal of experience with role play games, administrating communities, and writing.
