About Fast and Furious by Headmaster Brockert
I just realized that this hasn't been explained for anyone who does not know what it is.What is it?
Sonora Fast and Furious is a posting event where the word count is waived. This leads to short, sharp exchanges between characters, which can happen in almost real-time if both authors are on at the same time. Whilst we appreciate the skill and craft that goes into writing here, this can make one thread take a long time, each conversation taking weeks to complete. This means that building friendships (or rivalries) takes a long time, and that you only know how a limited number of people interact with your character. Sonora F&F is a chance to quickly change and expand that.
When is it?
This weekend! For 48 hours, starting from 6pm site time on Friday, and running until the same time on Sunday.
Where is it?
We are going to use the Hospital Wing board, as it is rarely used, to do a trial run of this idea. If it is popular, we may choose or build a dedicated space for it. However, in character, the interactions can be set anywhere within the school. You can also continue your threads elsewhere on the site during the weekend, but normal posting rules and word counts apply to anything posted outside of the event.
The rules:
There are no rules! Ok, there are... In that all the usual rules, such as God-modding and the site's PG rating apply. The word count rule is waived. If you find your word count is creeping up and you hit the site word count anyway in a post, it doesn't matter - it's great if the event inspires a longer, more detailed thread.

House cup by DH Skies
Last term's house cup has been awarded and the reward posted in the Mirage Chamber. A section has been started on the F&F thread too, for anyone who wants to post about it there.

Map of Sonora Students by Louis Valois
So, I remembered someone once mentioning that we used to have a map of Sonora students and, in a moment of extreme procrastination, decided that would be a useful thing to reinstate.I've created it on google maps, and set it so you can all edit (not all students are very specifically located, as I only had state information for most of them, so feel free to drag your little pins to the correct location). Also, I've only included current students, so it doesn't get too overcrowded and complicated.

We have a chart of students and locations so we know who was on what wagon. I've just gone and updated the list to show the correct years for everyone and added all the first years. I think I got all the transfers too but double check if you are one. So your name should be there, and you can just add the location!It's here

Sawyer... by Kir
You mentioned in a few posts last year that Kir would be welcome over the summer. Can we assume that happened and/or post it on wts to know how it went?

Sorry for the delay! by Sawyer
Yes, we can assume Kir came over anytime he wished too. Sawyer's family is pretty easy going. All fun summer activities are welcomed to be assumed. :)

Important notice! by Chairs
We would like to bring to attention that after some changes to our staff, we are currently seeking several new staff members. Top priorities are filling the opening positions of Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms, as they are core classes. We are also looking for Muggle Studies, Astronomy, and Divinations, as well as a new librarian. Again, the core classes are the larger priority, and we would like to fill those positions first. To any of our authors who are not yet on staff, we encourage you to at least consider this opportunity. Thank you.
