Hello Sorting Hat. Welcome to

The IC Anon Meme

Yes, now your characters can wank anonymously to their heart's content! Do they think someone should check in to St Mungo's? Do you have a secret crush? Do you just want to gossip? Then this is the place for you!

Anon posting is, of course, on!

GETTING TO KNOW YOU OOC MEME

Wed, 14 Nov 2012 06:13:22 GMT

Posted by: nunganunga_k_o

Hey guys! Now we all know that some of us know each other, but what about the people you don't know yet or may not have on your plurk? Let's get to know each other a bit better by talking about ourselves and the things that you like!

ONE (OPTIONAL): Post a picture of yourself!! You don't have to, but it would really help the spirit of the meme. Also your name/handle.

TWO: Write a bit about yourself! The things you like to do besides RP, what fandoms you're in, just some general things about you and your life.

THREE: Tag around! Talk with people and get to know them. Have fun!

FOUR: Profit!

SORTING HAT RANDOM CRACK GENERATOR

Posted by: caresawholeawfullot

,Here's a one from back in the lj days. It's pretty good for some wtf-ery and lulz!

First you go HERE.
Look! It's two characters and a prompt! ~~I tried rewriting some prompts so some of them are dull but the odd combos are the best part anyway.~~
Clicking HOME or refreshing the page will bring you a new set of characters and prompt!
Post what you like here, write a fic or a drabble, leave the prompt for someone else to write it, whatever!
Sets don't have to be shippy, but they can be if you want. Be as serious or cracky as you wish.
Put up warnings if you need them???
The character list is up-to-date as of this morning.

Have fun, guys!

Never Have I Ever!

You might have played this game already, but here's how it'll work online!
› A character posts something that s/he has never, ever done. (You can and should do this as many times as you want.)
› The trick is to pick things that you haven't done, but other people have... and make them confess to embarrassing things, of course.
› When someone else says something that your character has done, they have to fess up! They can be forced to magically tell the truth if that's what they need!
› Theoretically, the person who has done the fewest things wins. (Although there's no good way to keep track of that.)

Ten Years Later Meme/Musebox Thing

If I'm doing this wrong, someone tell me, aaaah.

Anyway. What would it be like if the characters all got together for a reunion ten years later? In, say, a convention center type of scenario (since, good grief, there's a lot of characters) in which to mingle, have food, drinks, dancing, what-have-you?

Come and find out the awesome ~~or awful~~ things that would happen right on over here~

Time for something we haven't done in a long time...

Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:44:40 GMT

Posted by: modofthehat

And that is IC Secrets! This is something we used to do way back when on the LJ Sortinghat's crack community and I figured hey, why not bring it back? I'm shamelessly ganking the format for it, so here are the rules!

1. All secrets are to be IC.
2. All pictures are to be direct url. Use photobucket, tinypic, or something of the like.
( Good example: hxxp://i41.tinypic.com/imagefilenamehere.jpg )
3. It doesn't have to be pretty! It can be just plain text on a white background if you want.
4. Use your best judgment on picture/secret size.
5. You can submit as many secrets as you want. The more the merrier! Don't be shy!
6. Comments/Submissions don't have to be made anon-ly! You can use your own personal journal if you want. :| Just as long as we get them.
7. HAVE FUN.

Now, if you're not quite sure what to do, Here is a link to one of the old ones as an example.

All replies are screened to keep things a surprise, and I'll post the submissions in a new post on Monday, September 3rd. Bring on the submissions, guys!

the officially unofficial Sorting Hat fic meme!

Wed, 22 Aug 2012 02:58:37 GMT

Posted by: quasistellar

It's what it says on the tin, people. Now. Here are the rules of ~~Fight Club~~ the fic meme:

1. Post a prompt, anon or not.

2. For ease of posting, make sure to at least include these three pieces of info when putting up your request, in this handy little text area:

Let's give two examples, one horrifying and one not:

Characters: Sybille/Constance
Rating: HIDE THE BITTIES' EYES (meaning R or above)
Prompt: OH NO SYBILLE DIDN'T INSULT CONSTANCE'S HAIR.

Characters: All the first-years!
Rating: G
Prompt: the cute discussions that take place while waiting to be sorted.

3. Requests can be filled as fic, threaded out by the actual characters if they're brave enough (or crazy enough), or filled with artwork! And nobody is too 'untalented' enough not to fill a request; if you have an idea, go ahead and post it up! It's all anon anyway!

4. Go forth and have fun!

LOVE MEME

♥ LOVE MEME ♥

So, my fellow Hatters, I have noticed that there is a lot of love in this game. And, you know, the HMD is a good place to compliment people on specific character handlings, but sometimes you just need to ramble on about how someone is awesome. SO HERE'S THE DEAL:

Comment with your characters and their canons, then...
Tag other people with love. Actually...
Tag EVERYONE with love. As many people as you can manage, seriously. I can't imagine that many cases where anyone can't think of at least one nice thing to say about a character or just their player!
Guys, don't take the above as orders. Not everyone likes/knows everyone else, come on. (An irl friend was like HOW DO YOU COMPLIMENT EVERYONE so I thought I should clarify.)

Age Up/Age Down meme!

Sun, 29 Jul 2012 02:27:54 GMT

Posted by: bev_rage

THE AGE UP/DOWN MEME

Because what the hell we're gonna have fun and do what we want. Something has happened. And somehow your character is now a different age!

There are two main options:

Age down - who likes bitties? We like bitties! Your character is now a child, or at least a few years younger. This can be just a physical or a physical & mental change, or however else you like it.
Age up - Ever feel like a year or seven just flew by? Well? It kind of did. This one is more freeform - They can have theoretical memories in the Tower if you want, or it just be a physical change, or anything else you can think of.

As for those replying, feel free to go completely wild - have your character also be affected or not affected or affected in the opposite direction or whatever else you can think of.

And of course, have fun! THAT'S WHAT MEMES ARE FOR.

WHAT DOES X THINK OF Y?
A CR MEME

With all the CR charts, call outs and relationship kerfuddling, a CR meme seems like a wise idea.

★ Post your character(s) in a comment.
☆ Other people will comment to you and ask what your character thinks of theirs!
★ Comment to other characters to see what they think**!
☆ Responses can be either IC or OOC
★ If IC, responses must be truthful.
☆ Write as little or as much as you want.
★ It is impossible to be late to this meme.
☆ Go forth and fill out your CR chart.

**For extra CR building, let's say you want CR with a character but haven't started building yet/haven't had the chance? NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE UP PRE-APPING CR/PLOTTING.

anything. Just assume they are going to be bitty.
You are HIGHLY encouraged to grab a younger looking icon
or two but this is totally not necessary. Nah.

♦ Adults can play in the play area too. Shhh.

Normally when this happens, you submit your own picture and there is a survey for most likely to, but there wasn't time this year. That doesn't mean I can't still go through all the icons and pick the ones I think are the silliest. If your character is not in this, it's because they aren't actually a student at the school yet.

here's a meme, so date me maybe

Sun, 03 Jun 2012 16:37:46 GMT

Posted by: spangledplan

A’ight, Hatters. I know that a lot of us like shipping. And a lot of us play ships in the game, but some of us don’t! Some of us want to explore a lot of different ships but don’t want to screw with any that already exist in game canon or anything like that.

So we’re having a shipping/date meme. Based off of bakerstreet and other meme comes, you input numbers into the Random Number Generator. The numbers you get correspond to different scenarios. With this particular meme there are two sets to choose from, but if you see a scenario or combination of scenarios you have a burning need to play out, you can just skip the RNG altogether.

For those who haven’t played on memes before, comment here with a blank comment (or simply state what you’re open to or something lame and dorky or whatever). Because we’re all in game together, putting your character’s name in the subject isn’t necessary. Just make sure to put the scenario numbers in the subject when you reply to others!
( Scenarios )

HAVE AT IT.

Reunion Meme + Beach Meme!

20 years have passed since everyone has left Hogwarts and moved on to bigger and possibly better things! Now it's time to reunite and meet up with old pals from long ago (or maybe not that long ago?). The catch?

It's at the beach.

There are refreshments at the bar, umbrellas and blankets set out for those wanting to sit and talk out on the sand, and anything else your little hearts desire to be at a reunion at a beach.

HEY SUP! Getting CR is all well and good, but you know what's even better? Getting to know the people behind the mask! SO.

ONE (OPTIONAL): Post a picture of yourself!! You don't have to, but it would really help the spirit of the meme. Also your name/handle.

TWO: Write a bit about yourself! The things you like to do besides RP, what fandoms you're in, just some general things about you and your life.

Sorting Hat
Ten Years Later Meme

How it Works:

1. Post with your character and how they've changed in ten years time. What's happened to them? Did they marry and have kids? Did they become an Auror? Did they die? Did they come back to Hogwarts to teach? The possibilities are endless!

HARD MODE: Good End and Bad End. Post with your characters Good End and Bad End.

2. Others reply to your characters and just roll with it. Are you still friends? Have you become enemies? (If you're going with Good and Bad End, be sure to specify which one you're playing out.)

3. HAVE FUN WITH IT.

4. (Also, no wank. Come on, it's a fun meme.)

If you need examples of what to do, check another example here.

NEW BEGINNINGS PARTY

Excited to get going with Sortinghat on Dreamwidth? Excellent, so am I! While we're waiting for the game to start over here, here's a chance to get used to using the site with a wide-open meme.

The setting? A New Years party at Hogwarts (never mind if your character went home, that's why this is a meme)! There's every kind of delicious magical food you can think of (and oh dear, did somebody spike some of the punch?), live music, and glitter everywhere.

Your mission? Try something new! Try as many new somethings as you can think of! Test-drive a character (or throw in somebody you'd never actually app), tag a stranger, go out of your comfort zone, incorporate an element of the magical world you've never gotten around to using, or even have some stray magic hit your character and do whatever kind of bizarre thing comes to mind. With a new year, website, setting, and format, isn't it about time you did something new and exciting with your roleplaying?

This is open to characters and players not in the game!

(Need inspiration? Might I suggest picking a random page from the Harry Potter wiki?)
