The job of the plot is to create the site-wide events you see around the site, our latest plot was the Candy Chaos with the aging potions.

Basically the role of the plot team is to come up with fun and creative storylines to make the site more interesting for everyone involved. We create a topic where we can discuss cool ideas and then, once the topic has been shared, we do our best to share and promote it!

Laura Garfitt
I was motivated to apply for the job as I found when I was looking for a Job on WoP it fit best around my IRL life and I also wanted to be able to help create the events so overall I was motivated to join due to how well it fit my life style IRL and continues to do so.

I'm an imaginative person and I love brainstorming ideas! I find planning and organizing events to be fun, hence why I decided to apply. I've had no regrets, the whole team is amazing!

My love for planning events and simply just creating things for others to enjoy. I always enjoyed participating in plots on WoP and each and every one always put a smile on my face. So, once I knew that participating in creating these was an option, I applied as I wanted to give that feeling of enjoyment to others.

It would probably have to be my love of both the wizarding world universe and my overactive imagination! I love coming up with cool headcanons and theories that may have happened in this world and helping to actually make them happen is incredible!

Not going to lie I was a little shocked my application probably wasn’t one of the best so finding out I got the job was a big surprise (I’m also pretty sure I forgot I applied for the job so that might be a construction)

Excited. Over the top excited. I'd always wanted to be a part of the plot team so actually getting on it was such an amazing feeling. Then when I arrived, it was just an overwhelming feeling of kindness. Everyone was really helpful and welcoming and I immediately knew that it was the job for me.

I was thrilled! At first I was a little unsure what to do as I had recently taken up a position in the library but it all worked out in the end!

How do you come up with an idea for an event and how does the organization go?

Well, first we brainstorm ideas. After that we pick one idea and begin to flesh it out more. Once we have an overarching story, we begin to work on the individual details (each detail is taken by a member). So, one person may be creating a wallpost, one an article, one a topic post, etc. Then we take each individual detail, put them together and you have a plot!

As I briefly mentioned earlier, to come up with an idea, we create a topic and everyone shares their ideas. Some plots may take longer to plan than others so we may push some of them back a year or two to allow more time for planning. Once we've settled on an idea we can start working on the details of exactly how the plot is going to work!

My favourite thing about the job is seeing it all come together at the end and seeing the character development we can help make with the plots and people finding out more about the characters on WoP.

My favorite thing about the job would probably be getting to plan along with work out the details for each plot event! It's a lot of fun collaborating ideas to come up with plots.

Creating the plots for sure. Getting to use so much creativity within this job is something I really enjoy.

I think my favourite part would have to be discussing potential storylines with other people who get just as excited about these things as I do!

Do it you won’t know if the job is right for you if you don’t apply and try it, and if you are unsure about what plots do feel free to message Max or any lilacs I’m sure we’d all be happy to give you more information I’d even suggest if your not sure getting involved with the plots that’s a fun way to know if you’d like the job.

I'd say to go for it! You'll never know unless you try. Who knows, maybe you'll really like it! In the words of Robin Ryan, "You'll never know what you can achieve until you try. Just never, ever give up."
