We bring joyous tidings!

The first item of news: Catremistrae (dinosaurman) has agreed to become the newest member of the Hogwarts Hocus mod team. Cat's been with HH from very early on, and we're thrilled to have her aboard. *cue the confetti and balloons!*

This means that our founder Liz, who's served long and faithfully, can finally step back completely as her schedule requires. While she will not longer be serving as a moderator, Liz will stay with us as a player, and make herself available to the mod team for consultation when needed. So there is no loss to mourn, as we'll still have her; but thanks is due for all the hard work she's put into the founding and running of this community!

Second, the long-planned Hogwarts Hocus wiki project has finally launched! We hope this wiki will become a repository for the kinds of lore that new players often find themselves wondering, and that up until now have largely been transmitted through chat. What's with the werewolves? What's with the "face-eating talking cats"? Who is Wesley and why does Cooper call people Wesley who, well, aren't named Wesley?

You'll find us at hogwartshocus.wikispaces.com. The user interface at wikispaces.com is fairly simple and intuitive. Still, we'll be trying to write up a bit of a FAQ in a few days. In the meantime, feel free to sign up for wikispaces.com and request membership in the hogwartshocus wikispace, then create your own pages for characters and events of interest. Some examples:

The wiki entry for Special Agent Dale Cooper
The wiki entry for the term 'Wesley'

A cautionary note: The contents of the wiki are strictly OOC knowledge, for the entertainment and edification of the players. There is no IC equivalent of the wiki that your characters can access -- finding out OOCly from the wiki that Crowley is a demon or that Stephen is an intelligence agent doesn't mean that you can use that knowledge ICly.

With the OOC nature of the project understood, we encourage all players to take part in this collaboration. It's yet another way in which the crack that is HH can devour your time and sanity!
