Hogwarts RPG Name: Bueller B. Betsworth Fifth Year | Jor!Jor! Queen Hermidana Title of your Article: A St. Mungo's Summer (I'm open to Ideas, I just couldn't think of a better title) What is your Article about: Jordana's (My Charrie) experience volunteering at St. Mungo's Hospital over the summer holidays. And enlightening the reader on the the different career paths that are at St. Mungo's. Your Current SS Quill Position: Current Events outside of Hogwarts Who are you Sending drafts to: Francis Is there anything you need from us? Not at the moment Are you interviewing anyone? Yes (In character my Charrie's mothers best friend is one of the healers at the Hospital so I was going to do an interview with her. Totally made up but I can work with it.  If that is a problem just let me know.) Also I was thinking of maybe interviewing Nurse Numel. Perhaps she can share her knowledge of what she knows of St. Mungo's or her previous experience there if she has ever been employed there. I understand she is busy so if it doesn't happen its ok. Questions: Not right now. |

Love all of the ideas raised above.
For our two editorial writers, keep in mind that it is part an opinion editorial. I trust you two to be creative.
I trust you all are familiar with the expectations of each position. I know this term we have diversified topics, and we do so in the interest of getting a wider audience.

To see who got attacked, you can check the OOC RP thread for Merlin's Beard.
Yes, you can make up some interviews. Also, you can interview the store owners? Perhaps?

^ PM Cassirin if you need a response from her. Or PM the student and conduct it in RP somewhere else in the school forum or coordinate a time to RP or to talk on msn

This is the thread we will be using for this SS School Term. So you will see people post more than once because of older quill editions that went out. Some of you were here for the first one. This is the second one. |
