We have a few announcements to make!

First of all, our dear co-mod Aayla is undergoing surgery, as she's already posted. Prima and Siri will be managing Hatness, the contact post, etc., during this time. Everyone send Aayla your strongest get-well vibes, and maybe some fan-art of Yoda!

Second, we'd like to raise awareness of the adoptions post. As you all know, HH has no posting quota. However, as we've said before, we strongly frown on character squatting. The only reason we can get by as a community without a posting quota is by virtue of the fact that HHers are not dicks. When a character is underplayed, and another player asks that character's player whether they'd mind handing over the character, almost invariably the first player is gracious and reasonable. We as a mod team appreciate your courtesy to one another, and your general nonsuckitude! The adoptions post makes it that much easier for people to offer up their underplayed characters. We thank those who've commented there, and want to encourage the rest of you to comment there as well, if you have a character you know you really don't have much of a muse for anymore but don't want to popcorn.

Finally ... there will be another Secrets Board this weekend! It will go up at 8 pm Eastern time this Friday, July 6. New players who weren't around for the first ones might want to have a look at the previous boards, to see what we're talking about -- just click the "secret" tag.

The rules are these:

Secrets are made and posted ICly, as are comments unless noted with double brackets. It should, but won't, go without saying that the secrets board is no exception to the rules of the game. That also means that characters who have not yet been sorted cannot participate.

Images that are just spam or are so big they'll stretch the page will be screened, as will anything likely to 'trigger' muns or has been created solely for the purpose of causing wank. Under 800x600 is best, please.

Please don't char-bash without consent from the player. A loose or vague image that doesn't name the character or have a picture of them is fine, but nothing that explicitly targets a character unless their mun okays it first. If you want your char free for any sort of image about them, feel free to comment with your list of chars to this post, and I'll add them to the list of free-speech chars. Please bear in mind that the characters will see the secrets, ICly, and probably try to guess who they're about. XD

So, comment to this post to let us know whether your chars are open to having unhappy images made about them, and if so, which chars. (Note that even if a character is on the fair-game list, unhappy/negative secrets made about them must still follow game rules, e.g., no nonconsensual fourth-wall breakage.)
