Translations, Spoilers and Lupin (RAVEN)

*pales* 
But... but... but... that thing is HUGE!!! I'd take AGES! (Besides, if
I had to translate the names of characters and things as they were
translated to Brazilian Portuguese, I'd have to cut my wrists. Argh.)

Revising a Portuguese translation, that I could do. But translating the
whole thing... *shivers*


For a more realistic suggestion, Cindy said:

That works for me, thanks. I'd only like to remind you all of one
little detail listed in the bio I posted when I joined this group. You
know, the one about me "holding grudges for years". Believe me, you
don't want to test me on that one. So... if one single message from
this group hits my mailbox with a spoiler, there will be bloodshed. 

You have been warned. 
*beatific smile*

I honestly hope so...

I volunteered to the Ravenclaw team (makes sense, all online Sorting
Hats tell me I'm Ravenclaw) so I could help with the Lupin theme. Which
gives me one more reason to hope that Lupin is NOT James after a
body-switch, because that would make this work so confusing...
