Announcements:
* Lightning War is currently hosted on Insane Journal. If you are reading this on Live Journal or through an RSS feed, links will work, but clicking on journal names probably won't--or will take you somewhere irrelevant. A lot of our journals on Insane Journal have names we might have liked to have on Live Journal, but someone else had already snagged them.
* If you have friended this community but have not joined it, you are not a member. This means you will miss locked posts. You will be unable to vote in polls. Also, your comments on posts will be screened until a maintainer unscreens them, which makes discussions less lively.
* If you post on this comm--retro-caps, crack, polls, whatever--try to remember to cross-post to the LightningWatch comm on IJ. I've been forgetting too, but we should be more careful.

Sebastião Aiona, an employee of Sam Mulciber's who hails from Hawaii (PB: Jason Momoa); Jerome Device (Gryffindor 1937), Thecla Device's older brother and Rosalind Clutterbuck's ex-boyfriend (PB: Frank Iero) and Kiran Zeller, an adopted son of the Zeller family who is a healer and has returned to St Mungo's for advanced training (PB: Kal Penn).
Here's the list of who's where on Insane Journal.
Renamed Journals:
Juliana "Liane" Malfoy's journal has been renamed from "cordraconis" to standingwave.
New Graphics:
Ianthe Pritchard and Michaela Pryce all have new userpics.
Please be patient with us as many of the new journals are not yet set up and do not yet have proper layouts. I'm 2/3 way done with my own and then I'll be able to help other people. Once all the old journals are laid out at all, new layouts will again be noteworthy.
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. :)
