If I'd finished in fewer than 60 days, should I wait before submitting my journal, since the checking process does seem to take a while, Or should I wait, because I won't be granted the rank of Initiate before the 60 days are up anyway; and I might think of something relevant to add in the mean time?


Up to you but you might as well get it submitted, you just won't be granted the Initiate rank until the 60 day mark. (I might be wrong though I haven't been involved with IP and ranks in a while)

Thanks Kit - I think that's every conceivable question I could think of in response to your third post in this thread! Thank you so much for your patience, clarity, and honesty! I think this thread is a great resource, and I know I'll be referring to it in future. Many thanks!

Sometimes journals "disappear". Unfortunately this has occurred twice when I have been planning on writing about them in my own IP journal. I've also heard that some people bring their IP journal with them for their apprenticeship studies, so it is no longer visible... Is that true? What other reasons might there be for a journal disappearing, and how should I go about making enquiries as to what's happened?

Yes, when an Apprentice starts their studies they have the option of moving their journal into the Apprentice Chambers, making it invisible to the general membership. Some opt to just start a new journal, really down to the personal choice.

If you ever have questions of that nature, about things disappearing, you can always ask the person who owns the journal, and if they're surprised by the news their journal is gone, well, they can go and ask the admins.

Interesting! I had no idea about this. Is it possible that this could be included in the FAQs somewhere, since I think I have just changed my ideas, again, about how to structure my journal.

Thanks for your comment on "stuff disappearing" I think I must have been unfortunate twice, as in both my cases the person was not contactable. I suppose my concerns are more related to how and why journals might go "missing" at all, with the exception of this plagiarism rule.

That's weird. With the exception of the plagiarism rule, the only reason I'm aware of for a journal disappearing is if the person in question has moved it to the Apprentice Forum. Unless the member in question had asked for their account to be deleted maybe? Not sure.

Yeah, its entirely up to the apprentice in question as to what they decide to do with their Journal. I can understand wanting to keep a history of all your studies through to knighthood in one thread as it can be pretty cool to show your progression, though I personally think IP Journals should be kept in the public Forum, to remove it is to remove a possible source that maybe of use to someone else going through the IP.

Sometimes people leave and request their journal to be moved from public view. But this is very rare, very very rare.
Twigga, while there are some information one needs in the IP, not every little detail can go into the introduction of the IP or into the FAQ. It would be too much information and no one would read it. As it is, some informations that are asked (not here) are answered in those places...

Been trying to get back into the IP team for a while, seems my messages get lost somewhere. Any chance I can join back up?
