A Romance Court

House Membership
Benefits

Belonging is earned. Legacy is built.
When you join a House, you don't just attend events — you become part of a living structure inside the Court.

The Beginning

House Initiation

🕯

A ceremonial assignment during Open Court — in person at our Gràcia bookstore or via Instagram Live. Sir Knotsalot presides over each initiation.

Alignment is not chosen. It is revealed.

This is where your legacy begins.
✦
Your House Pack

Marks of Belonging

Upon initiation, you receive your visible marks within the Court.

🎒

House Tote Bag

Official bag in your House colours. Carried to events, seen across the Court.

✦

House Sticker

Worn, placed, displayed. Your allegiance made visible.

✦
Membership Privileges

What Your House
Grants You

🔐

Priority Event Access

Early booking for select events, workshops, and limited-capacity gatherings before they open to the public.

💬

House Channel

A private space for your House — announcements, coordination, internal discussions, and strategy.

📚

Court Library

Access to curated titles within the shared Court Library — stories that circulate inside the community.

🏆

Earn House Points

Earn points through purchases, readings, challenges, and events. Rivalry builds legacy.

🌙

House-Only Gatherings

Exclusive meetups, challenges, and internal House activities throughout the year.

📖

Traveling Book

A single book passed hand to hand between members, building a shared legacy with every reader.

✦
One Story. Many Hands.

The Traveling Book

A single book, passed from member to member. Each reader leaves their mark. When the journey ends, the book retires into the library — and becomes part of a permanent legacy.

🏰

House Traveling Book

Each House carries one Traveling Book at a time, chosen by majority vote of the House Council.

  • Must come from A Romance Court's store collection
  • May be in English or Spanish
  • Reading order determined by the House Council
  • Members pass the book from one to the next
  • Once all members have read it, the book retires

It becomes part of the House's permanent legacy.

👑

Court Traveling Book

In addition to House books, each Court carries one Traveling Book. Courts are genre-based communities that cross House lines:

Romantasy Fantasy Contemporary Young Adult Cliterature Dark LGBTWI+ Sport

Each Court Traveling Book follows the same circulation structure and becomes part of that Court's evolving library once completed.

One story moves through many hands. What remains is legacy.

✦
The Veil Thins

Solstice Realignment

🔄

Changing Houses

Allegiance is not permanent. Twice a year — during the Solstice Parties — the veil is thinner. Members may request realignment during these ceremonies.

Sir Knotsalot decides.
✦

Join a House.
Build something lasting.
