- THE HISTORY -
[/size][/center]Alright! Before we begin, let me start off by saying that the purpose of this history is simply to avoid confusion. Magical Misfits has been around for a while now, and obviously some members have been around longer than others, so this is just here so that new members don't see older members talking about something and get confused.[/size]
The story of MM begins in July 2009, when Alice Adams and Caylee Park {then Lily Evans} decided to make an AU Marauders Era Myspace RPG. They quickly roped some other friends into this, these friends being AMAZINGSAUCE Tonks, Amelia Hughes, and Krystal Hargreaves. The five girls worked quickly - writing roles, making a layout, etc., and on July 31st, 2009, the group was officially opened. It was called Marauder's Mischief then, and Marauder's Mischief, it seemed, was a hit, because by August 1st, ten roles had been filled, and four more were filled on the second. Should you see a member referring to 'old MM,' it is probably Marauder's Mischief they are referring to.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and Marauder's Mischief met its end much earlier than the admins had originally planned. There was ooc fighting and general trouble; the admins tried very hard to fix it, but it came to a point where they felt that the members didn't care enough about the group to work with them to make things better, and so the admins decided that if their members didn't care, they didn't either. And so it was that on November 5th, 2009, Marauder's Mischief was closed.
There was a brief attempt by the original admins to create a new group and start fresh - this group was called Mellicus Masquerade. Its plot was essentially the same as Marauder's Mischief; the only real differences were a new - and more strict - set of rules and an obvious attempt at a clean slate. Several Marauder's Mischief members moved to Mellicus Masquerade, but in the end Mellicus Masquerade didn't last. Eventually it was closed, too, and the five original admins basically gave up.
But the original Marauder's Mischief members didn't give up. They went their separate ways and a few of them created their own groups. Some of these groups were successful, while others weren't, but none of those groups are really related to this one, so there's no reason to go into real detail on them.
The one that matters, you see, is Magical Misfits. Magical Misfits opened in January 2010. It was run by Sirius Black {who was part of Marauder's Mischief} and one of the original Marauder's Mischief admins, Amelia Hughes. This, it seemed, was an important factor, because soon some of the other original Marauder's Mischief admins were joining the group as well - namely Alice, Tonks and Krystal; Caylee did not join at that time.
Over the next few months, Magical Misfits went through some changes in staff. Amelia left the staff and Rafael Foss joined it; later, Minerva McGonagall joined the MM staff and later still, Erin Williams joined {and shortly after left} the staff as well. In the end, Magical Misfits was left with two owners - Sirius Black and Minerva McGonagall. The two of them quickly became overwhelmed and on August 24th, 2010, they announced that they were stepping down as the owners and asked that any members interested in taking over message the RPG.
Soon after they made this announcement, Alice Adams, Krystal Hargreaves, THECUTESTGIRLEVA Morris and AMAZINGSAUCE Tonks - also known as the FM or the Female Marauders - talked it out and decided that they would volunteer to take over the RPG. The next day, Sirius and McG handed over control of Magical Misfits to the FM, and that was that.
Things went well until Myspace began making very large changes. On November 3rd, fed up with all of the changes, the FM sent out a message to the group. In this message was a poll, asking members to vote on several options. These options were A. stay on myspace, B. move to a forum, C. move to sitemodel.net, and D. move to oneworldroleplay.com. Twenty days later, the poll was closed with forum in the lead, so the admins began work on the forum that you are looking at now.
And now, my dear, you are all caught up on the history of Magical Misfits.
