Got a question? Send it in!
1. What is the basis of Incendio Potentialus?
Incendio Potentialus (affectionately known as Incendio) is a Harry Potter Future site. Based in the Wizarding world Harry saved at the tender age of 17, Incendio explores what happened after the war.
2. So are you a canon site?
Well, yes and no. We are canon because in the history of our site, Harry Potter defeated Old Moldy Voldy and (mostly everyone) lived happily ever after. As happy as "The War Generation" are likely to be, anyway. But we do not stick strictly to J.K. Rowlings epilogue. We encourage people to explore the Wizarding world with their own original characters, but do accept canons as well. The Trio is also being accepted.
3. Whats up with the site name?
Incendio Potentialus is the scrambled result of my being bored during research for my final paper and needing an original name for the site. Matt and I discussed several names, including: Harry Potter and the Great Magical Reveal-all, Harry Potter and the "I have kids now, I don't have time to save the world!", and Harry Potter and The World Does Not Revolve Around You, You Selfish Git. Fortunately for the site, these didn't make it past brainstorming.
Roughly Incendio Potentialus means Fire Potential (if you take it literally) but if your imagination is used, it could mean all sorts of things. We hope it will continue to suit our site well. ^^
4. Can I have [...] as my character? Why don't you have a list of Canons?
Sure, as long as your write a good bio and keep them in-character. We don't mind, in fact, canons can bring a little spice to the mix.
We don't have a list of canons because, in the limited time allotted to her each day, Nuriko would rather RP with her members than have one more list to compile and update.
5. What’s up with the OotP and the DE?
The Order has gone their separate ways, now that the threat of Voldemort is gone. However, some ex-members can’t resist keeping a close eye on the world around them.
The Death Eaters are essentially non-existent. They were dealt a hard blow in the years following the Battle at Hogwarts. No one has stepped up to take the place of Voldemort and re-assemble the DE.
6. There's this awesome event/thread coming up! I want people to join!
Well, you are more than welcome to PM a staff member about your event/big thread. We have a special place on the sidebar for such things.
7. What year is it? What time of year is it? How do you RP time here?
The year and month are on the side-bar under "Events". There is also a link to a calendar of the current IC month and year. If it looks a little weird, it is because it is set up as a calendar in the UK would be.
We Roleplay in what is commonly known as fuzzy time, that is, the player may be writing several threads at the same time (for the writer) that occur at different times (for the character.) While "April" is up on the sidebar, for instance, you can create threads at any IC date/time in April. When April is replaced by May, all threads would start to be set in May. This gives plenty of time and flexibility for threads.
8. What's a Nomnom?
A nomnom is a nomination, most likely for one of the otMs. If you wish to nomnom a person for a special reward, you need only PM a staffer with your reason. (X is always friendly and plays nice with everyone, even the new players, for instance.)
Otherwise we will ask for nomnoms once a month, and the staff will choose the most nom'd person/character to fill the otM spots on the sidebar.
