New Journals:
clutterbuck Rosalind Clutterbuck (Slytherin 1937) is one of the young magistri on Laurens van Rensselaer's diagnostic team. Her reputation is that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants. (PB: Anne Dudek) Yes, she has her own journal now; yes, this means that we don't plan to let her die at any time in the very near future. If you have no idea why people might have been asking us about that, don't worry about it.
sharolt Halász Sharolt was a brilliant Transfiguration student at Durmstrang, but she was recruited into a special programme in Rome where she met a lot of interesting people and learned a lot of interesting things, before they broke her brain. (PB: Summer Glau)
Everyone has a new journal at Insane Journal, even if they've been moved to a shared journal. Here's the list.
New Graphics:
Please be patient with us as many of the new journals are not yet set up and do not yet have proper layouts. That said, as IJ allows 100 icons per free user, there are a great many new userpics going around. Characters whom I know have loaded new userpics since the last recap include alessio, artisson, drschadenfreude, fairlight, nicodemo, stepan, tizenharom and triedtobetrue, and I'm sure there will be more listed below in the comments, there always are!
Under New Management:
There are a lot of characters that are currently open. Check out the Adoptable Characters page for descriptions of the kinds of adoptions that are open and lists of characters available for each. If you are not sure, ask. :)
