Oh oh! I'm thinking of resorting! Mostly, I think my main point for resorting is because I haven't really fleshed out Devlin (my charrie after Tag graduates) so I don't really know his personality too well. I mean, from the few posts that I've been able to get of him, he seems to be a bit rude? or have comments were as Tag is the complete opposite. So I don't want Devlin to feel like he's gonna be 'stuck' in Gryffindor because I'm going to keep him there because I don't know his full personality yet. But kind of going off something that Dani had said, I've been trying to take more of those 'reliable' sorting quizzes online, with the perspective of Devlin's mindset, from what I've at least got of him, and he usually got 50/50 Slytherin and Gryffindor. So for this reason, I don't want to keep Devlin stuck in Gryffindor, even though I've loved this house and been in it for so many terms.

Now, like Tegz said, quizzes and pottermore aren't the best things to use when wanting to resort, because as she mentioned SS peeps actually thoroughly work it out with your charrie. Which house they believe they fit into most, and I think thats a lot of hard work and dedication. So I'm just going to take the resorting quiz and let SS peeps come to a conclusion rather than me just saying 'OH, you're a slytherin' you know? I think these cases work best when you aren't really sure what house your charrie fits into. To those who do really know what house your charrie should be going into, I give you a pat on the back for really knowing how you'll play them within that house. I'd like to see other people's perspectives and opinions too so that I could get a better idea 3>

What I'm hoping I'm going to get out of resorting is that it might 'wake up' Devlin's mind a bit. Maybe once I figure out which house he truly belongs to, I won't have such a hard time writing his posts and they'll come out with more of a flow. One of the things I've thought about is how I want to have filler charries for a couple of terms, and then start up with a second resort, (so after my first original resort) and begin once again with a firstie charrie in a new house. The thing that's been on my mind when it comes to using filler charries (Devlin will be 3 terms, and the last 4 terms will be the charrie after him) is 'will the following filler charrie embody the spirit of the house Devlin will be put into?' Seeing as I would still have another 4 terms to work with in my resort house. I think thats the part that's making me wonder about resorting. Because I think sometimes when we plan out a charrie we give them basic personalities? Or that may just be me, as a starting point... and then go on from those basic personalities/background. Or in other cases, your charrie does whatever they want and don't pay attention to the RPer XD

I just hope that my second filler charrie finds a way, or I find a way, to write them accurately, or creatively in a sense that they feel like they actually belong in the house that they're in. I think that's the one thing that makes me wonder when it comes to resorting. If anyone understood what I meant about 'filler charries embodying the houses you're already sorted into' or have actually done this yourself with past charries how would you go about it, or how did you go about it?

I hope this all made sense. And this is a really interesting thread to look into for everyone!
