Academy Houses
Some readers move through stories by instinct. Others follow emotion, curiosity, or quiet reflection.
Within the Footnote Friend Literary Academy, the four Houses—Luna, Bloom, Nova, and Sage—exist to honour those inner differences. Each House reflects a way of listening to stories and responding to them, both on the page and beyond it.
As you read through the Houses, notice what stirs, settles, or sparks within you. Your House is the one that feels like recognition rather than decision
🌙 House Luna
Dreamers. Feelers. Soft hearts guided by deep intuition.
House Luna students read with emotion first and thought second, allowing stories to move through them before they are ever analysed. They are drawn to atmosphere, longing, inner worlds, and the quiet ache beneath the surface of a book. For Luna readers, stories are something to feel—to carry, to sit with, to return to long after the final page.
🌸 House Bloom
Gentle souls who nurture growth—in books, in people, and in themselves.
House Bloom is defined by warmth, connection, and emotional openness. Bloom students are drawn to stories of healing, hope, and transformation, and they read with a desire to understand others more deeply. This House values kindness, encouragement, and the belief that stories, like people, can change and be changed.
⭐ House Nova
Bold, passionate readers who burn bright and read loud.
House Nova thrives on intensity—high stakes, strong opinions, and stories that demand to be felt at full volume. Chaos lovers, morally-grey stans, and plot-twist screamers feel at home here. Nova students read with urgency and enthusiasm, drawn to drama, ambition, and narratives that spark obsession and conversation.
🌿 House Sage
Deep thinkers who seek meaning between the lines.
House Sage is home to logical, patient, and observant readers who take pleasure in reflection and analysis. Sage students read slowly and thoughtfully, noticing patterns, structure, and quiet symbolism others may miss. This House values insight, perspective, and the calm satisfaction of understanding why a story works the way it does.
