Please note that Lightning War is now on Insane Journal. If you are reading this on Live Journal or through an RSS feed, links will work, but clicking on journal names will take you to a Live Journal which will not have been updated and, in the case of new characters or those whose journal names have been changed, may not even belong to the game.
Also please note that if you have this community friended but are not a member, your comments to all posts will be screened and I may not be able to unscreen them in time for you to get involved in a discussion. Please join the community; I will approve you as soon as I'm sure you're not our troll.
Completed/Continuing Open Threads:
Paul Pettigrew's concerned about students with the wrong attitude. Annie Lovegood's concerned about her brother Bilius. (Complete.)
Corinne Allison is relieved by Yvon's reconciliation with Alessio. Susie is upset by the realisation that if you're sleeping with everyone your partner's ever slept with, she's slept with a lot more people than she ever dreamed--including Corinne. (Complete.)
Isabella Zabini wishes she were as happy as her older brother and his new bride are, but instead she fears she's going mad. A conversation with her brother Mercutio doesn't seem to help very much. (Complete.)
Aelia Zabini has finally had it with Jenny Moody, but Ximena Saenz wishes she'd have waited for a more appropriate time and place. Steren is not amused, but then she never is. Fun for all with 2000% more culture shock or your money back! (Complete.)
A couple of wankers in the Slytherin/Ravenclaw common room decide to stir up some trouble. Dylan Mulciber doesn't fall for it, and brings Ianthe Pritchard in on the fun. Things really heat up when Austin Parkinson joins in, annoying Gillian Greenwood to the point where she prophesies at him. (Complete. Look again. OMG.)

New Journals:
None this time.
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. I had a list of who had updated but it went down when my computer did. My computer is all better now but the list is not.
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. :)
