Ha! True story! I realized after my first BC that it's not as scary as I thought it would be, so I think I can take on the role of both BC and DPL. I think the MW is ready! :)

Excellent! I think this will be very popular. I will claim Charlie Chaplin, as my dad cosplayed him in the Shriner's Clown Unit.

Hopefully so! I'm excited to hear all the sections read :)

How fun! Chaplin has two sections, 8 and 13. I've given you both, but if you only want one, let me know and I'll remove you from whichever one.
Cheers,
Claire

Hi Gila! Apologies, but those two chapters have already been claimed. Are there any other chapters you'd like to read? I've updated the Magic Window to reflect which chapters have been claimed, and which are still available.
Cheers,
Claire
