MJ, yet again working her magic.  <3 <3 Thank you

July 21 - Hermia Bonaccord wants in on The Tempest reading. She's Miranda aged, but could also read for Ariel.

July 23 - @'Angelica Vorona' would be happy to be a professor on hand to talk to little ones.

Titania Allaway will attend, but is already anxious at the idea of crowds. She is available to read with kiddos.

Thread Log

My Attendees (for possible threads):
-Obviously, Zach!
-Thomas Montgomery and Edison Moony will probably pop in and out all three days and attend the Hogwarts mixer.
-Archer Belby will attend Local Authors Day at the very least. He's going to avoid the Hogwarts mixer like the plague, unless convinced.
-Leo Lupin will attend Children's Day with his Nanny/Governess and be sour about it.
-Billie Farrow may or may not make an appearance, depending on her mood state.

MJ, yet again working her magic.  <3 <3 Thank you

I will be stalking each thread with delight but the best person I can offer is Constance Sykes who tried to bring literacy to the masses once, failed, and became a governess instead so she could be working alongside Malcolm McGee (great name) as a tutor for the illiterate?

Otherwise I just hope Carmelina Cramming is there to talk about one of her books so Connie can fangirl her from the audience

MJ made me beautiful

Charity Lloyd with be in attendance for Children's Day! I'm up for threads with kids Charity hasn't yet threadded with <3

Eldin Bones will only be going to see how his friends have been handling post-grad life. Frida Lestrange will be there, and so will Flora Mulciber, Holly Scrimgeour, and Archie Diggory. Archie's parents might do something with their manuscript? Idk, that's the only publication I have related to any of my characters :P

I don't now which of my adults would attend >.> Probably Dionisia Fisk. None of my adults like to read, apparently.

— set by MJ <3 —

Melody Crouch will be in attendance for all three days. She would also volunteer to help with the illiterate if that's needed.

Otherwise the rest of my characters say ew reading

beautiful set by mj

Lauren there reading my mind xD

No one look at me and my growing collection of literary types okay
Carmelina Cramming would absolutely like to chat about Egyptian archaeology, ancient runes and the Irvingly expedition, possibly on a wider archaeology discussion panel with some foreign authors/academics from abroad? Holly Scrimgeour could this be a thing for Archie's parents too?

Emerett Picardy will be there on the Local Authors day to do a reading from Lupine Lawlessness: Why Lycanthropes Don’t Deserve to Live (1888) complete with Q&A... that is if Zach isn't vetoing bigots? >.>

Porphyria Dempsey can do a reading of a new collection of Romantic poetry that she wrote during her time as a wren, title TBD.

Jude Wright thinks any available Revs should come man a stall outside with their usual array of progressive pamphlets, as well as a collection of the latest publications, poverty surveys, and newspapers about socialism, suffrage, education, etc; all money raised to go back into those causes and Jude will be around to chat and also to picket against Emerett probably

Ewart Fraser will come to listen to ALL THE TALKS just to morally support strangers. xD

Liberty Gore would definitely show up, arms folded, to listen to the talk about Aboriginals in Australia.

My students and other characters might swing by also here and there! Lmk if anyone has thread requests!

Ailsa will pack him a lunch. <3

And this might be a good opportunity to have Morwenna encounter Emerett and his terrible ideas?

Also Holly Scrimgeour Goth Matilda and Miss Honey thread?

fabulous set by Lady <3

Of my characters:
- Calla Potts will be there at least for children's day and would love a role in the reading!
- Germander Macnair will probably at least attend the first day. He will use that as a judge of if he would bother attending further.
- Linnet Umbernauld will most certainly be there for Hogwarts day and any other time she can slip in. Her reading skills aren't the best so you can bet shill be at all the read-aloud but will also be hunting some low-level reading for herself to practice. She'll either drag one of her relatives along or come by herself.
- Serpentine Malfoy will likely be there for children's day with her governess/nanny. She is most certainly open for threading with other children or adults.
- Victorius Zabini will be there when he can slip away from work and likely will take his children to children's day as well (though they'll be watched by their governess/nanny not him).

look at the pretties mj made me!!!

Emerett Picardy will be there on the Local Authors day to do a reading from Lupine Lawlessness: Why Lycanthropes Don’t Deserve to Live (1888) complete with Q&A... that is if Zach isn't vetoing bigots? >.>

Juuuuuuules! If he's there I insist on a Q&A thread. (Or I can have her cameo in the back of a Emerett/Morwenna thread and glower?)

Jules would also volunteer to read for The Tempest or kids' day or both to support Zach, and will generally be around in attendance at any interesting author talks.

Ophelia will come to support Phyri but otherwise be bored. Ben will come to supervise his wife so she doesn't try and surprise him with an employment offer again. Gideon might volunteer to help with kids' day festivities, especially if Quin Honeyduke plans to be involved. Alfred would attend and is technically an author but would be absolutely mortified to be recognized as such but I'd really enjoy that if anyone's game.

Edit: This is very much up Ernest's alley but he's also antisocial due to wheelchair - but maybe he could go with Flora Mulciber if Rufina suggested it as a bonding activity? If you're down for a thread, Bree!

Get Featured in Witch Weekly!

I nominate Ambrosia Selwyn for Juno in The Tempest!


-------
Linnet Umbernauld - maybe a mother daughter thread?

Ginevra Blackwood - would love to read for Ariel in The Tempest - or any role really.

Murdock Greyback - will def be at the werewolf talk, probably glowering and wondering if it would be possible to bite picardy in secret. He doesn't even have to be werewolfed when he does it.

Adrestia Dantés will be there as either/both genders

Nephele Lestrange will be there with her girls

Yuri Podsnapper - has taken a recent interest in books thanks to Charity Lloyd and Billie Farrow and would like to continue this interest, if someone could catch him trying to read that would be very good.

Cadawalader Selwyn - will be looking at some of the darker books and/or books on being an animagus

Meserimus Valenduris and Casear will probably do a presentation on their respective academic works on potions

@"Emma Binns" will be working for Wizzhard books and would love a thread with incoming firsties!

Yes to all! >D I'll definitely throw up an open Q&A for Emerett's book talk, and am also up for one-on-one threads if people want them.

I am terrified for Emerett and hoping Titania works up the nerve to question him in public.

Thread Log

I'm adding everyone to the lists! I can't wait to read all the threads haha

Elias Grimstone Yes! Zach will allow bigots because he's not one to sensor. HOWEVER, he'll also be making sure there's a PRO-werewolf speaker/researcher right after him. I imagine he conferred with @"Juliana Binns" to see who she recommends.

MJ, yet again working her magic.  <3 <3 Thank you

Priam Lestrange can have a booth where he discusses his Magical Darwinism theories?

Then I'll have a bunch of my people attending.
