Firstly, welcome to Magic Horizons, a place where all your dreams can really come true.
The school is run by myself and fellow Headmistress Claire, and we have other people such as teachers, Prefects, Elders and the Head Girl and Boy to help us in our duties in moderating the boards.
The main idea of Magic Horizons is to create a 'character' to role-play on the boards. Give your character a name, for example mine is Wilting Rose, think of a description of their basic looks and their personality traits, and then post on the boards as if you were writing a story, in third person, not first person (i.e. "Rose walked in" instead of "I walked in.")
A typical post in third-person should be something like this:
Wilting Rose walked into the Three Broomsticks to get a drink.
Pushing her long, wavy brown hair back from her eyes, she sat on a stool by the bar, and grinned at Kiki as she walked over.
"Hey, Kiki - gimme a Butterbeer," said Rose, while massaging her temples. "It's been a really hard day... I swear, I should never have allowed Vampires to become a part of the school system. It was a bad idea, but Ace always seemed to make it work."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See? It's easy.
And another, very important rule for roleplaying - it is strictly NOT ALLOWED to God-RP other people. God RP-ing is when you write other people's characters in your posts, for example if in that last post I were to have said - "Kiki was worried about Rose, she had been under lots of stress," - that would be wrong, you are not allowed to give other characters actions and thoughts, only that character's rightful owner is allowed to do that.
Now that you know the basic rules of roleplaying, the magical world is your oyster - let the adventures begin!
