You could listen to me read a piece of spam mail aloud (O, My Viagra, My New-Found-Land!)
You could play a Twine game (The Perils of Sir Reginald, Bart.)
You could look at pictures of me in costumes, or even read the related Edwardian-era mystery novella (Alas!)
You could read Stranded!, a Strand-Magazine-Based form of Illustrated Entertainment (start here with a sort of explanation: Stranded!)
...or you could just sort of explore... there is a lot of material here, and (I think) much of it is Very, Very Good.
Oh, my goodness! LOL! And who discovered this? 😉
Ah! Who indeed?
This was discovered in Folio 13, wasn’t it?
ha! Read on, Macduff!
Btw, Folio 13 stumped me until I did some Googling. Now I am assuming that it refers to this Golden Dawn Cipher Manuscript thing… and I still feel slightly stumped.
If you are into Cipher Manuscripts, though, I’m guessing you know about the Voynich Manuscript?
I laughed out loud.
yay!
