Default The Quill: Term 40


Do you attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Do you find yourself thirsting for the latest happenings and news around this school? Do you oftentimes wish you had a reliable source (AHEM, eyes on you, Aparecium) to deliver these things? If you answered 'Yes' to any of these questions, LOOK NO FURTHER.

Starting this school year, the famed "The Quill" student publication of old is making a comeback! "The Quill" is both an IC and OOC student-run newspaper. It differs from Aparecium because it's not strictly gossip, and differs from the Yearbook because it publishes more regularly and has different types of articles. A good way to describe the Quill would be to picture the Daily Prophet just for the happenings at Hogwarts.

Below is a listing of the Staff and students currently involved in the publication.

The Quill Staff
Staff Advisers
Leo Kitridge (Nordic Witch)
Maddox Quigley (DaniDiNardo)

Editor
Gabriel Banner (Govoni)

Writers
Rowan "Rusty" Fields (JustAlice)
Jenna Hensley (AlwaysSnapesGirl)
Sophie Brown (feeheeheeny)
Tobias Fuller-Thompson (Felixir)
Eden McGee (kayquilz)
W. "Hugh" Hughbert (fanficfanatict)
Ruby Banner (Tegz)
Grayson Whitlock (hermionesclone)


OOC: This is COMPLETELY IC (In Character). Since this is the case, anything submitted via our questionnaire needs to have happened IN THE SCHOOL RP on Snitchseeker. At this time, we aren't including Twitter RPs/Twitter characters to be mentioned in the publication. This is to help keep everything canon and relevant to IC student life.

With that said, we do have Tumblr and Twitter accounts, where content will be uploaded and referenced to. Everyone is encouraged to follow these accounts. As for content/material posted ON Snitchseeker, reference this thread. Only 'The Quill' Staff Advisers or the Editor are allowed to post here.

We also have old Quill issues, so if you're curious about Hogwarts' oldest and only OFFICIAL student newspaper, be sure to check out the Quill Issue Archives and Quill Article Archives. Happy reading!
