Hello everyone.
We expect that people will announce their absences, so that members will not think that the characters they were working with have suddenly quit the site.
However, if you hold one of the main canon characters and you know that you will not be online for an indefinite length of time, please do the right thing and give up your character.
Here's how this policy works: we practice a parole system on IAPW. If you're active with your character, you keep them. If you claim a character but you never post and you're never online, the admins can take your character away. We don't like to do that, but if someone comes along and asks for your character and you haven't been online in a month or more, we will give it to them.
So if you're grounded from the computer and you don't know how long you'll be gone, chances are higher that you will lose your character. There are enough characters in this fandom that this should not be a problem for anyone other than the main characters--Harry, Hermione, Sirius, Dumbledore, etc.
