Thank you, Chuck! MW is updated.

And just a reminder for anyone following the thread: This Finer Shadow is edited, and in need to a volunteer to do the final PL.

Excellent! Added to the MW, and now we have two projects ready for volunteers to do the final PL.

I'd like to PL Hills Like White Elephants if that would be acceptable.

PL OK. I couldn't wait for an okay to proceed. I really wanted to hear it and I didn't want to wait until the collection is complete. It was fantastic by everyone except "the man". What a heel that guy is! The pacing by the editor is very cool and the narrator kind of 'stole the show wouldn't you say?'

Cheers.

Thank you for the PL, Brian. And you don't need an OK to start PL! We just have folks post to say they're starting, so two don't go at once.

I dunno about that narrator, I suppose we'll see how it comes out in the wash.

I think it could be fun if two or even many more did PL all at once. Especially if they disagreed. Then there could be like a cage match or something to resolve the matter!

Just kidding. Of course I don't really want to witness anything of the sort.

For a variety of reasons, I withdraw from the story 1 project, The Woggle-Bug Book as BC and as Narrator. I apologize to any who are inconvenienced.

Thank you, Brian. I've cleared the Narrator role, and I will not add you as BC for The Woggle-Bug Book after your other DR finishes. The plan was always to confirm then whether you wanted to take this over, so now I just have an answer all the sooner.

I'll see if someone else wants to sign on as Book Coordinator for The Woggle-Bug Book. One volunteer has "first dibs" in my book, but if they don't wish to sign on for all the added work, then I'll put out another general call.

Time for another recap, and update on our wayward Bug.

Completed:
Blanched Soldier - Inkell
White Elephants - ChuckW
Knight's Move - BrianFullen

Ready for PL:
This Finer Shadow - BrianFullen - Awaiting a volunteer to do the final PL!

Open for claims:
The Brothers - jennlea - Soldier Boy is open
Speckled Band - Bookworm360 - Narrator/Watson is open, and 2 roles are ready for PL

Limbo:
Woggle-Bug Book

The original Book Coordinator for this book seems to have disappeared. If someone wants to adopt it and commit to seeing it through, then we'll keep it going. Otherwise, I'll save the work that's been done so far, and we'll shelve the project for a possible future collection.

We have a volunteer who is willing to do the editing, if someone else will do the PL and coordination. If you are excited to produce this story and have room on your plate for it, then please have a read through the script before posting to sign up as Book Coordinator and Proof Listener!
But if you are not excited to do it, then we can save your commitment for another project.

Speaking of which, we have at least one opening for more projects within this collection, depending on how long the other stories end up going.

Could I do the final PL even if I'm one of the readers? If so, I'm willing, and can probably get it done within a week.

Cheers,

Absolutely! We'll have you PL from the original text, as is the usual practice. Helps catch potential errors in the script, among other reasons.
I suppose I don't have that in my monster set of instructions.

You? Monsrous? You don't strike me as a monster! I'd kind of like to hear that. Have you recorded a monster role that you could point me to so that I could hear it? I don't mean monster-great; I mean in the traditional sense. Could you do Grindl or the Minotaur or ... I'd bet a nickel that you possibly could do a convincing monster if you wanted to, that is (I believe in you

), but would you really want to?

Could I offer Chapter 2 from Oliver Twist? It's a book that's been done multiple times, but I just can't have enough of that scene where Oliver asks for more

Does that chapter have ...

I'll do anything
For you dear anything
For you mean everything to me

... in it? That song's the best!
