Sounds good to me.

I've been slogging through "who's going to be prefect?" posts -- as
much fun as they were before OoP came out, they're that tedious to
code up now -- and I'm finding it hard sometimes to decide if some of
them are "with" or "without" canon predictions...

Not to mention, it's like playing hide-and-seek, trying to code to
characters while Carolyn is moving them around!

P.S. I have a new poster to add to my list of favorites on the main
list -- it's Dungrollin.  She might be good on the project someday,
too, if she had the time...
