Hello everyone, it's Katie_slytherin here bringing you some fun tips and tricks! HEX is such a huge website, but luckily for you, you have an amazing tour guide- ME! So let's take a small tour of HEX! We are going to look at some of the Slytherin Forums and go on a field trip outside of Slytherin as well. All aboard the tour train everyone! *CHOO CHOO*
Alright folks, our first stop is The Serpent's Nest. Here we have two nests- The Pantherophis Guttatus Nest is where we nurture our eggs (newbies) and The Pythonidae Nest is where the snakes are taken care of. A fun fact about the nests is that there is a graduation ceremony which is held when an egg hatches on their first hat day! Everyone knows what a newbie forum is like, but the unique thing about Serpent's Nest is that it has the same vibe but with activities for older snakes who have been on the site for a while. You can join in discussions, participate in activities, share memories, and bond with your fellow nestlings. Each nest has its own mentor. You should head over and say hello in your nest, especially because I'm the mentor for The Pythonidae Nest. So what are you waiting for! Slither on over and keep me company! Ask me questions! And if you don't have any questions just pretend you do so I can answer them for you!
Our next stop on the tour is The Slytherin Studio! Role playing, creative writing, slam poetry, singing, drawing, graphic designing, dance, and any other form of art you can think of can be found here! Create your very own portfolio and show off your talent to your fellow snakes. Give or receive helpful feedback. Find partners for a project! Learn new things through discussions! Be given prompts each month! Maybe even win an award for your amazing work! There's so much to explore and so much to do here at the studio. Plus, I also work here! So come on over and create your portfolio so I can tell you how awesome your work is!
Up next is The Slytherin Study Cafe! Be sure to check out all of the amazing incentives! The staff worked hard on them and there is some amazing stuff to be won! Also, check out the homework buddy system! It came with the revamp so it's fairly new and really awesome! There's also some Petrifying Puzzles, but don't worry, you can choose to do only the easy ones or you can try to do all of the levels! And don't forget superlatives! Nominate your friends! Have your heart melt when you get nominated! Sharpen your knives when needed! (Guess who's still not over being called The FAT Friar *grumbles*- just kidding, my heart absolutely melted as it does every time I see my name in a superlative). So make your way over to be rewarded for being an active snake!
Now for our final stop we're going to venture out of the Slytherin Forums and head over to the HINT Forums. Are you an absolute Harry Potter nerd? Check out Magical Theories and get your Harry Potter geek on! Debate over controversial topics, discuss theories, and show off your HP knowledge with fellow HEXians! Are you a sports fan or perhaps you're more of a video gamer or even a board game champ? Check out the Games Forum where you can learn about some new games, meet people who love the same games as you, or even start a new game of HEX mafia or perhaps you can find one to join! Do you have any interesting Hobbies? HINT Enterprises is the place to go! Any hobby goes- knitting, calligraphy, reading, martial arts, etc. Meet some other people who share similar hobbies or maybe even pick up a new hobby! Do you have other fandoms you love? Are you an anime fan or a fan of Merlin or perhaps you love this one very obscure book? Head over to the Fandom Forum and hang out with others who are interested in similar fandoms, and who knows- maybe you'll find a new show or book or movie to binge! The HINT forums are awesome forums! I highly suggest you take a trip over!
Alright everyone, I hope you enjoyed the mini tour! Now, seeing as this is SOUP, I think it's only fair that I also poke you about heading over to the Newstand to check out all of the other awesome publications! Maybe even YOU can make a publication! There are so many amazing writers (and some cool things to be won)!
Also, don't forget to swing by the Common Room to ask questions to the lucky user who is in the hot seat this month and nominate who should be next! And while you're at it nominate the Heir of Slytherin as well and congratulate the snake who made it in! There's also the Noble Houses of Slytherin where you can help your family win! And who could forget the all new and improved Slytherin Lounge! So what are you waiting for? There's so much to do, go get exploring!
Until I reemerge from my cave again, this is goodbye from your favorite pureblood Slytherin!
