Secret Santa or a White Elephant, what do you think? I could arrange to take presents, and randomly assign to house members? Or... hmm. Secret Santa might be better, only if we can really get people to agree for reals.

I love ALL THOSE IDEAS. If we do a costume contest with a fanfic underneath to give a background, then vote on our favorites for a Morostide-themed prize?

If we arranged a Secret Santa, I'd do it with an online randomizer and assign, yes.

, Do you two wish to be admins here?

Yeah, being admins doesn't mean we're gonna run the show for the house groups. I think it's a good idea in case we have any harassment issues/spamming/etc though.

Then you are guys are officially admins, but I'll do my best to keep the badger riffraff in line. :P

I'd be down for an e-card exchange, but the old curmudgeonly side of me will remind me that not giving out my real identity and address for the last 15 years or so has worked well for me. I will see if I can scrounge up any info regarding Subeta policies on this sort of thing (is this an 13+ website or no... still, mmm, not sure how many of us are minors?).

I LOVE the trick-or-treat idea, but would love more detail about what you are envisioning with houses. ._. Rosethorn and I are willing to put up some prizes for contests as well, but we are also wondering whether Hufflepuff has any interest in extending those types of events to the other houses?

Also, to keep it semi-separate from approved Wizarding events, do you guys mind holding it here?

Once trick or treating starts, a list is usually compiled of who give out what items (i.e. you can get different items from users with a certain number of pets/certain length of username). One we have that list, we can make our own HuffPuff version so that everyone gets trick or treated, and everyone will be able to get all the items. (: Is that what you were referring to, ? (There may be something like this down cult-wide, but we could also do our own little version on the side.)

Weekly movies would be cool! (Although I'm pretty wimpy when it comes to scary movies. xD) I went ahead and made a little questionnaire here so that anyone interested can submit their timezone and we can decide on a night(s) based on that. If you're interested, , after we gather the responses, you can be in charge of selecting the movie and coordinating when everyone would like to watch it. (:

As far as e-card exchanges: Love it. Even better if it's something handmade that can be photographed/scanned. xD

As far as real-life cards/gifts: We would have to check Subeta's policies ( ?) and make it 18+, most likely. That said, I believe there is a way to send gifts without needing a specific address? For people who aren't sure about giving out their mailing address (myself included) I think you can have things sent by "General Delivery." It looks like this:

Rose Thorn General Delivery My City, ST 12345

and they just ship it to the post office near you that holds general delivery packages. You have to figure out which that is, though, and when your package is coming, because I don't think they contact you when they get it. There's a similar service through UPS (hold for pickup?). If anyone knows more about these, feel free to chime in!

[edit] pinging again so that anyone interested in a movie night can put their time zone in!

Sorry that I have been crazy busy. I have opened a ticket with the Subeta Team to ensure that if we want to share our email or home addresses, we aren't violating any kind of TOS that could get us or Wizarding banned. I'll let you know when I hear back.

Is there still interest in setting up something for trick-or-treating? We have about two and a half weeks to prep, so I'd love to get a count of how many people want to participate!

Hey, so I just wanted to give you guys an update on the ticket filed a while ago regarding the RL card exchange:

So maybe we could do some kind of online card exchange? Like take pictures of the cards and post them or something? Or we could potentially do a RL card exchange if we could find a way to take it off site so that Subeta isn't liable for anything. xD I'm open to suggestions.

hey guys, so i'm sure you have all seen the announcements but i wanted to share just between us hufflepuffs. the new term has started and i'd really like to see our points go up!

there's two new activities going on right now, including Missing Item and Potion Lesson .

So far myself and are the only puffs who have entered these.

if any of you are having trouble with naming the missing items, you can get even just a few of them by going to subetalodge and searching for words that match the picture of the item. for example, if the image is some sort of flower, you can search the name of the flower, or if it's some sort of animal, then search the name of the animal, if it's an article of clothing then look up the clothing name or the color of it, etc

Thanks for the reminder! I was planning on doing at least one activity today for sure, but your reminder helps me to get going, lol. Been feeling lazy these last few days, haha
