Welcome to the Owlery!
Here you can send and receive letters from other players who are too far away to contact via a Patronus Missive. Here's how it works:
- Once every day, you may write one letter to a player of your choice from the opposing Side. These letters will be delivered with breakfast, as is traditional.
- Due to an unfortunate exclusivity clause in our Floo Contracts, you can never send a letter to your Pureblood vs Order partner.
- You also cannot send your letters to the same player twice in a row, because Owls get easily bored of repeating the same flight paths.
- There is a weight limit for all letters, as many of our Owls are small and overworked. Therefore letters which are longer than 2000 characters shall not be delivered. You can check the length of your letter at wordcounter.net/character-count which uses some strange Muggle magic to approximate parchment length and weight.
- Once you post a letter in this thread, we will begin processing it immediately and accept no other letter in its place for the current round. Not even if you spot a typo.
The deadline for Owl Post is exactly 12 hours apart from the Challenge deadlines. To send a letter you must post it in this thread before 8:30am AEST, and the Owls will deliver any letters addressed to you soon afterward (within an hour, if not immediately).
Because much of magical law and order would collapse without the creatures' cooperation, the Owls have more bargaining power than any union of Muggle postmen and have demanded ORG weekends off - so there shall be no Owl Post on Friday or Saturday. The Owls have also been on an extended
Thus, your first Owl Post letters must be posted in this thread before 8:30am AEST this Tuesday.
Please use the following format when you post your letters:
Date: Day 3, Tuesday 3 May
To: Rita Skeeter
From: Xenophilius Lovegood
Dear Ms Skeeter,
Your recent article about the financial state of The Quibbler is blatantly false and based on purely circumstantial evidence. This noble publishing house kindly requests that you issue a retraction immediately! In return we can offer you an advance copy of our decade-long investigative report into the secret Veela ancestry of The Daily Prophet's chief editor. Alas, I have not enough parchment to include a full 2000-character description of our conclusions, but do please accept my word that your own safety is at stake! Thus, it is well worth your while to discover exactly you are up against, as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Xeno

Note that the date, sender and recipient at the beginning of the letter will not count toward the character limit.
If you have any questions about how the Owl Post system works, the Ministers shall gladly answer them for you here. Otherwise, we hope you enjoy the full service of the Owl Post system each day. And do take care not to upset any of the Owls!
