pegkerr | hpalternity starts tomorrow!

I'd like to pass on an announcement for Harry Potter fans reading this journal (come on, there are at least one or two of you, right???):

ALTERNITY is a Harry Potter roleplaying game in the style of Nocturne Alley or That Was Then/This Is Now, set in an alternate universe where Lord Voldemort has the upper hand. We're beginning play on September 1, and we intend to play all 7 years of Harry's Hogwarts career - yes, in real time.

As a result of one tiny change in 1981, Harry Potter has been raised as Harry Marvolo, the Dark Lord's adoptive son and heir apparent. Draco Malfoy is his dogsbody, friend, and only confidant. Harry simultaneously loathes and is intrigued by the Mudbloods and Muggles that are interned in work camps throughout Great Britain. He knows nothing of the world beyond the United Kingdom's seemingly impenetrable wards. And he is about to start attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry... where he will encounter truths about his past, present, and future that he has never known before.

At Hogwarts, each of the students have been given special journals, which function - through magic - like LiveJournal. Unbeknownst to most, the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix also have their own journal networks. To read the journals, simply read hpalternity and hpalternity's friends list.

Our contributors include myself, Fiona, Delia,

flourish,

gwendolyngrace,

moony,

eibbil_libbie,

radiobroadcast, and several others. Casting is closed for now, but will re-open at a later date. Tomorrow is September 1, so the Hogwarts Express is about to leave Platform 9 and 3/4! If you liked Nocturne Alley or TWT/TIN, we think you'll love

hpalternity. Check out the game, and if you like what you read, please help spread the word in your own journals. Thanks!
