Pottermore - Name Exchange and House Posting Thread

[SkaianRedeemer]

You open your mythologically renamed web browser of choice to discover Pottermore is open to the public! You consider joining the site and, upon doing so, return here immediately to begin with the inevitable exchanging of screen names and talk about wands and Houses and such, all conducted within the forums of some other fandom! This strikes you as being just as unnecessarily meta as required to qualify for your liking as a Homestuck fan. You consider sharing this information in the form of an introduction page, but do not feel obliged to do so.

You resolve to make new friends among your fellow Homestuck fans if that interests you, and then resolve to march straight off into earning House Points, preferably by calling out fellow students to "STRIFE!" without explaining yourself. This strikes you as a worthy and fulfilling activity being conducted in its prescribed fashion.

(Management does not require or recommend you call out fellow students to STRIFE without explaining yourself.)

[SkaianRedeemer]

Your name is SKAIAN REDEEMER and you are a SLYTHERIN.

Like all of your fellows, you are equipped with WANDKIND : [TYPE, CORE, LENGTH, DESCRIPTION]. You are petting your new pet CAT, whom you have named NYX in a spat of ouroboric fandom cross-reference, as she watches the GIANT SQUID swim past the windows. Not that you can actually name your pet in this system.

Your Hogwarts screen name is [UNDISCLOSED] (as you are really just providing a template for other people here, sheesh) and you are lacking some sort of final scrap of colour text.

[Tren]

So you can't choose your actual username.

How could I resist?

[PerpetualPursuit]

What's really annoying is that you can't even get in touch with anyone in your house. At least not right now, where there are thousands of people online at once.
Also, the shoutbox thing in the Common Room is strongly censured. You can't share links, can't freely talk, nothing.
How are people supposed to feel loyal to their house when they don't know anyone?

Anyway, didn't mean to complain that much, Pottermore's allright, just not what I'd been expecting.
My name over there is HowlVine6561 (horrible, I know) and I'm in Ravenclaw. Feel free to add me. :3

[AnatidaeCollector]

Meh, they need to make a version for people over the age of 13.
I'm glad it's not avatar-centric like SecondLife or anything like that, but at least a private chat feature would be good.

Got sorted into Slytherin, and my wand is black walnut with unicorn core, 12.25 in, hard. Lol.
And I'm AsphodelPurple21234 if you people want to add me.
Kinda annoyed that I didn't get Ravenclaw. I need a new t-shirt now. [x]∆[x]

[Gordon]

as a long standing Beta user, thankfully my number is a lot shorter.

ThestralWolf49, I'm a ravenclaw.... which used to be the number one house, now they are the fewest... probably because all the smart people got in early, lol.

[weirdguy]

I swear, the "congratulations, you are magical" image is fucking priceless

also, I use the yugioh style of declaring challenges

[Elementoid]

FlameNettle12427 Gryffindor. Spruce, phoenix feather, 12.5 inches, surprisingly swishy.

I really wanted Ravenclaw, but that's that I guess. I feel like the quiz has to be rigged one way or another to keep all 4 houses mostly in balance.

[Namboto]

ChaserWillow2606, Gryffindor right here

Also my wand is awesome. It's 12 inches long, slightly springy, made of english oak and dragon heartstring.

[DecidedlyDevious]

13.25 inches of slightly springy hawthorn wood here, guys. With a nice dusting of unicorn hair to show off my uh... purity. Yeah. My wand is ready to please the ladies dudes old wizard teachers or whatever the hell.

Also somehow I ended up in Ravenclaw, I guess it fits. This is the dorkiest thing I have ever done but god dammit if it wasn't a blast. I'mma go brew potions brb

Oh yeah and I am RoseBat26237. No really, somehow the other nicknames I had to choose from were a lot worse than that.

One of the options I've seen people laughing at over tumblr was "MagicHerb420"

poor kid

[Gordon]

My alder wand with Dragon heartstring is the longest guys, it's 14" how do you like that brah?

[Tren]

Damn!
That beats my Hornwood with dragon heartstring, 12", rigid.
Raveclaws represent.
Now I am never going to play this game again.

Compensating for something? 8P
I kid, I kid.

[Gordon]

me compensate? wh-what? no way. By the way have you seen the size of my patronus?

[weirdguy]

whatever it is, i'll stab it with my unicorn horn wand

which i am told came from some guy named charlie

[Elementoid]

Speaking of, I really hope that when we get to the third book there's another fun quiz to determine our patronus...es? (patronii? patrons?)

I actually really like the quizzes.

[DecidedlyDevious]

I hope there is a quiz for every book! Dunno what that quiz would be for some of 'em, but they are certainly one of the better parts of the site.

[ashdenej]

I decided to be totally honest with my questions and ended up in Hufflepuff.

That's a very... moderatorly House, on reflection. Stoic and dull!

Also picked the best name there was on my options: PixieProphecy30790. It's just so elegant.

[DevilEd]

Decided to do this on a whim, see how it is. I got BloodBronze9112, well then.

[weirdguy]

tbh, i'd rather be in hufflepuff than ravenclaw anyway, i feel like there's too much of an emphasis on being stupid smart to the point where the mascot might as well be a pulsating brain with groucho marx glasses

then again i am fucking awesome at potions and can't stop making them

casting atm is difficult because the circles block where the light's current location is and i end up overshooting half the time, which forces you to feel it out, which is technically what wands are about, except i'm using a stupid mouse/keyboard thing and those tools are based on precision :P

in addition, in order to practice more than once i have to refresh the page which is friggin annoying

[Gordon]

Not just being smart. Also being quirky, and super attractive. That is what being a Ravenclaw means.

[weirdguy]

it's mostly the arrogance factor that you can feel when you read the introduction sheet

[Tren]

Don't forget having a huuuuuuge wand.

[seastormjt]

Another Hufflepuff here :P

SilverErised3; such a long time since I went on...
