So here is the thread. I'll see if I am able to get anything sorted, might just be profiles :)

11 inches . Dragon heartstring . Cherry wood
...cherry wood often makes a wand that possesses truly lethal power, whatever the core - though if paired with dragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind...

10 1/4 inches . Dragon Heartstring . Chesnut wood
... chesnut is noted as a curious wood with character traits of its own, and is drawn to certain people, including natural born fliers. When paired with dragon heartstring, it is a combination which creates a wand that seeks out the materialistic and morally grey.

FALCONS FANS RUNNING WILD – VANDALISM RAMPANT NATIONWIDE IN A “GOOD SPOT OF FUN”

With the recent announcement of the English lineup for the 2002 Quidditch World Cup, a few enthusiastic fans have been leaving the Falcons logo emblazoned across the country. Efforts to stop the tomfoolery have been ineffective at best, with officials from the Department of Magical Games Fair Play Division desperately trying to keep up with the Falcon’s hooligans. Fair Play officials are presently trying to remove no less than six painted falcons defecating upon rival team’s stadiums across the country.

“It’s been a right nightmare,” claims Fair Play Enforcer Dennis Creevey, “We’ve got Enforcers working overtime to try and get the stadiums cleaned up. I’m sure the gits responsible think the stinging hexes were clever, but they are really quite unappreciated.”

The Prides have been calling for fines to be levied against the Falmouth Falcons, a cry which has been echoed by eight other teams in the British-Irish League in the past three days. A spokesman from the Department of Magical Games Regulatory Commission has refused to comment on the pending investigation.

The Falcons, for their part, have reacted to the vandalism with fiendish glee. “It’s a good spot of fun is all,” says Chaser Katie Bell, whose recent appointment to the English team sparked this recent bout of defacement, “No one’s even been maimed.”

Bell, famous for having racked up a record number of fouls in the 2001 semi-finals against the Tutshill Tornadoes, has promised to bring the Falmouth spirit to the English team. In an official statement, Katie Bell assured her fanbase that, despite pressure from the International Quidditch Commission, she has no intent of holding back from her famously violent style.

A petition has surfaced recently calling for the removal of Bell from the team, but the English team has yet to release an official statement on the controversial selection.

10 ¼” Hornbeam Wand, Dragon Heartstring Core.
…hornbeam selects for its life mate the talented witch or wizard with a single, pure passion, which some might call obsession... Hornbeam wands adapt more quickly than almost any other to their owner’s style of magic, and will become so personalised, so quickly, that other people will find them extremely difficult to use even for the most simple of spells. Hornbeam wands likewise absorb their owner’s code of honour, whatever that might be, and will refuse to perform acts - whether for good or ill - that do not tally with their master’s principles.

Right my night shifts are done for the week, and am free to role play.

Where should we start?

[El Taco Taco]

Back! I think we should start at least a little bit before the cup-- either way back at the first practice for the English team (say, 6 months in advance?) and have Elsie spend loads of time in Bulgaria or closer to the World Cup itself, maybe the last weekend before Opening Ceremonies. Thoughts?

[Rosalind]

Either is fine, but if Quidditch seasons are based on the Premier league (which I think it is) the premier league ends in May, and then the World cup starts in June and plays over 4/5 weeks. So maybe we could do it from the end of the Quidditch season, when all focus is on the World Cup.

[El Taco Taco]

Sounds good to me! Maybe we can start by announcing the lineups for the first matches?

[Rosalind]

Aye, sounds grand

[El Taco Taco]

Brilliant! I guess we should get this show on the road. Who to start?

[Rosalind]

Would you mind? I am just in the middle of a post now.

[El Taco Taco]

No worries! I'm about halfway through another post, then I'll get summat up.

We know for sure that Bulgaria and Egypt qualified, and we have England as well. I'm going to throw Poland, China, Moldova, and Norway in as well. That leaves 9 more slots open. Any preferences?

[Rosalind]

As you have Katie as quite the rough player, perhaps throw in some of the countries that England really hate? When it comes to sports, we hate any of the other UK teams, Germany and Argentina etc. So that'd give lots of opportunities for her to misbehave on field.

Germany, Argentina, Scotland, Wales, Ireland. Then maybe 4 non European teams too?

[El Taco Taco]

This took waaaay longer than I thought it would!

[Rosalind]

Oh my word, well done you! That is great!

[El Taco Taco]

I'm about halfway through the post, but I have some chores to finish. I might be able to post tonight but it might be more like tomorrow.

[Rosalind]

Okie doke that is fine.

[El Taco Taco]

AH OKAY. Had to start over because my post was shite, but I finally have something I feel good about. I'm thinking I might be another hour or two before I can poop it up. I was going to just pop 2 POV sections in my post for Kates and Krum, if that's alright.

ALSO WE SHOULD PROBABLY maybe figure out the other people playing for England and Bulgaria O: I was thinking we could mostly keep the 1998 Bulgarian team, maybe switch out two or so players for newbies, but yes.

I figure at least one or two of the English team from 1994 is still around, but we have more leeway to throw in other minor canons. I have Alicia Spinnet as working for the Department of Magical Games and Sports, but anyone else is fair game. I picked 2 names at random from the 1994 Quidditch team and threw them onto the team. WHOOSH!

HOKAY SO
I thought I'd at least post Katie before I scamper off to dinner. Then I'll scribble summat up for Krum c: Hopefully I'll get him posted tonight or tomorrow morning. Thanks for your patience!!

[Rosalind]

My turn to be a little absent now. I'm going through a break up, so being a bit shit right now. But I shall begin on a post after I have finished my other post for another role play.

I loved it btw.
