Hey Flamethrower,Ā if you haven’t heard about the Scots edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, this seems likely to be relevant to your interests!

(I tried to send it as an ask because I thought I remembered you preferred those, but it wouldn’t let me send the link that way, I’m sorry.)

I can’t tell if I’m horrified or if this is fucking hilarious.

@thebibliosphereĀ  Did you fuckin’ see this?Ā  šŸ˜€

I still want to get my hands on a copy so I can do a dramatic reading.

@thebibliosphere I APPROVE OF THIS PLAN.
