lolaraincoatOkay, as some of you know for the last year and half I have participated in a role-playing game/collectively authored soap opera set in the Potterverse called HP Dungeons, in which I play Charlie Weasley, Professor Binns (he's an evil historian! evil!) and occasionally Irma Pince. It's great fun, and also has turned out to be a terrific education in writing fiction. I'm still no good at all at smut but I'm not as bad as I once was at characterization, plotting, and worldbuilding, thanks to the help I've gotten from fellow authors who are uniformly better writers than I am, but awfully nice about it.
So ... want to come play in our sandbox?
HP Dungeons is one of the longest-running HP RPGs--now running since 2003!
2003-2007 on livejournal here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/hp_dungeons/
2007-present on insanejournal here: http://asylums.insanejournal.com/hp_dungeons/
While we have occasionally accepted new applications and replaced retiring authors, The Dungeons is having its second ever call for new players. Please note that Dungeons canon is JKR-compliant up to The Order of the Phoenix, when we started the game, and diverges in some small and some large ways from Rowling's canon after that book.
The game is moderated by Femme. Basic information and the current cast list can be found here: http://asylums.insanejournal.com/hp_dungeons/profile/.
REMUS
We are especially looking for a new Remus Lupin since Cluegirl retired. While all new players must be willing to play into existing Dungeons canon this is especially important for Remus, who has been a very central character in the game and is in an existing established relationship with Sirius Black. Before applying for Remus you should probably know more than that about Dungeons Remus so, if you're not a dungeons watcher, please email Femme (femmequixotic @ livejournal dot com) as moderator for some information on Remus.
OTHER HIGHLY DESIRABLE CHARACTERS
At this time we'd be happy to take on a couple of other new players. We would be especially interested in:
Ginny Weasley - Ginny has some well-established Dungeons canon but has not been an active player character for some time so there is some flexibility for a new player. Contact Femme for more details about Ginny's history.
Percy Weasley - Percy has some well-established Dungeons canon but has not been an active player character for a couple of years so there is even more flexibility for a new player. Contact Femme for more details about Percy's history.
Dolores Umbridge - Has never been played in Dungeons except as a minor NPC so we are interested in any ideas for her characterization although it is important to note that in Dungeons canon Umbridge has never been at Hogwarts at this time.
Rufus Scrimgeour - Has never been played in Dungeons except as a minor NPC so we are interested in any ideas for his characterization, although it is important to note that in Dungeons canon Scrimgeour has never been Minister of Magic at this time.
Padma and/or Parvati Patil - Neither of these characters have ever been played in Dungeons so we are interested in any ideas for their characterization.
Lavender Brown - Has never been played in Dungeons so we are interested in any ideas for her characterization.
HOW TO APPLY
For an application form please email hp.dungeons @ gmail dot com. The form will ask for ideas, writing sample and references, but people who have never written in an RPG before are very welcome to apply.

Date: 2008-03-09 08:43 pm (UTC)Time commitment: probably pretty intense getting caught up on "Dungeons canon" if you don't already read Dungeons; otherwise it can vary according to people's schedules. I try to have my characters do something at least once a week but don't always succeed. At points when work is less crazed I do a lot more sometime. There's an authors' chat every Saturday night which I try to check in with regularly, which (for me) amounts to maybe one or two chats per month.
