While waiting for the year to start... by Headmaster Bulla
... Sonora offers a wide variety of pre-new year activities! Why not take a quiz to see just how intense its writer got when researching it (and just how much attention you've been paying). I'm sure you all want to know the answer - How well do you know Sonora?There's also the wiki that Sonora shares with Salem Institute. You can see all the crazy things that have made it up there already, suggest things that still need to go up or even join so you can edit things too.
You can check out old editions of Stephen's Guide (a series of comprehensive if biased guides to all things Sonoran), Last year's yearbook (a new one is expected soon), or have a look at the associated gj site, Wedded to Sonora, where things outside of Sonora can play out.
There's lots to do, so have fun!

... 'twasn't I who wrote that quiz. I've been working on other side projects in my spare time. I did, however, achieve a 100%, which says something about me in any case.

Hmmm... by Anne
Apparently, I'm 95% in the know, and yes, it does make me feel special. I do not, however, feel obsessed. Deductive reasoning, a good memory for nitpicky little details, and lucky guesswork served me well *nods officiously*.For the firsties - all of these sites are excellent sources of entertainment and information about the lovely fictional universe you're soon to enter. *looks guilty* And I have to finish up the summer storyline before you enter it, because Geoff and Lena's behavior will make no sense if I do not...

You know, I thought that too. Ignore the fact that I didn't go to Novelling Fury. I still check other threads from time to time. I ended up with a 68%, (*sighs* and you'd think being here from the beginning might give me a tiny advantage) but apparently I'm still in the know.That first question...that just wasn't nice.

disappointing by Simon, Zack, and Saul
I sadly only got a 78%.In my defense, I misread the question about which portrait is NOT in Sonora - I read it as which IS and stopped reading after the first one that was.
The others I got wrong honestly.

Adam at a club? *laughs hysterically*His views on clubs are something like this.
A club? Professor McKindy wanted him to join a club So much for being caring and compassionate! As far as Adam was concerned clubs had the right name because going to them was painful, like being hit with one. Even worse, it was like being hit by one being wielded by Lily .
I thought that was a rather clever question personally.

Yeah... by Anne
Great job!Without giving too much away...was the question the one about what Geoff's afraid of? Anyone else who knew that gets a round of applause, hat's off to them, and a six-layer invisible spinny cake, because, as far as I know, I've mentioned the answer once since it appeared on his application.
Geoff, of course, holds that any statement implying or outright saying he's afraid of anything is a terrible, slanderous lie cooked up by me, his author, and spread around by whoever wrote the quiz. He insists it has no basis in truth whatsoever.

Thanks! Good job to you too.Yeah that was one I got wrong. Which one did you get wrong out of curiosity, because a 95 is really really impressive.
Was it the birthday one at the end?
Also, I'm sorry I took forever to answer Allie in the library, with Adam, but I guess it's too late now with the new term starting tomorrow.

Thanks, and yes, it was the birthday one and the number of classes one. I took it again without looking at the answer page and figured out the birthday one, but not the classes one. I had to look at the answers for that one.And no worries about that. I meant to get back to Adam when you did answer, but the RL went mad. It happens to us all.

I sat and counted the classes one, and figured out that flying counted.I got the one about Geoff wrong of course, the one about whats in the garden, the birthday one and something else. I don't remember.
Oh yea, I knew you started school and I've been kinda sick, so...(then I started school)
It's not like they can never talk again, they're only fourth years. (Adam likes talking to Allie because she's less threatening.)
