New/Updated Plots!
Personal Plots!
SPOTLIGHT: SAWS REVIVAL 2012
Welcome to a new chapter of Students Against Werewolf Segregation (SAWS) at Hogwarts! This time, the controversial werewolf rights group is being headed by sixth year Hufflepuff Zeta Pepper and her band of friends! Although Headmaster Greyfriar himself is a werewolf, the SAWS revival faces new challenges in the form of power struggles and younger, skeptical members - to say nothing of its moody werewolf members Lucinda Temple and Greer Grant!
There were, however, far more important things... And, after having a snap coffee and scone with one of Hufflepuff's most accomplished daughters, that thing was justice. Justice for werewolves at Hogwarts.Zeta Pepper in
Do You Love Justice?"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, isn’t that right Zeta?” He stepped forward leaning a bit but fully accepting the light. If anything, Zeta needed him. Rigel didn’t think she could lead let alone command respect or shut it down as he has practiced before. She’d get torn up alive if things got political.Rigel Acrux in
And the Fire on the Tongue - First SAWS Meeting "I-" She started but cleared her throat, wanting to to sound somewhat stronger. "I'm sorry everyone..I sort of...ruined this meeting." She took a breath but still sounded shaky. "We can continue still, but I'll...make sure I do better for the next one, hopefully it isn't leading up to a full moon when we have the meeting." Lucinda Temple in

New Theme
After 8 years, Absit Omen has a new theme called Pensieve. It's meant to be easier to read in general, much easier to use on mobile screens, and be easier to use for people with disabilities.
- All users have been switched to the new theme.
- The old theme is still available if you want to switch back. To switch back, go to your Profile > Modify Profile > Look and Layout. then choose Absit Omen 2011. (The custom colored themes have been disabled).
- The new theme accepts a bigger avatar size. If yours is looking grainy or blurry after the switch, you can upload a new one in Modify Profile > Forum Profile. The new size is 300 x 300px.
- We'll continue to add improvements and fix bugs as time goes on.
- Find a bug? Have an improvement to suggest? Send a note to the Curators or contact Niobe/Knox.
