Re: [POETRY] Poems of American Patriotism, by Brander Matthews -jo

Thanks Grace. What is "Spot PL" and who does that? Basically i just want to understand my duties as a PL (i.e., what do I do, when, to whom do I communicate the results, and how). I'm picking up pieces of that puzzle slowly. The more detailed instructions I can be provided with while i'm ...

Re: ~ [POETRY] Poems of American Patriotism, by Brander Matthews -jo

Thanks Alan. I'm new to this. If I make PL notes and the reader makes the edits then posts the corrected audio, do I, as a PL, need to do anything once I've verified the correction having been made? Also if i'd like to try reading, does "Open" in the Status column of the Magic Window mean...

Re: ~ [POETRY] Poems of American Patriotism, by Brander Matthews -jo

Hi! I saw the tilde in the title and was wondering if this project still needed a DPL? :D Hello Grace, Morint has been doing some PL as time allows, but we do still have a need for a DPL. Perhaps the two you can work together to get things wrapped up as it pertains to those sections completed. Okay...

Re: More R.M.Ballantyne books?

I've been listening to "A Sailor's Lass" by Emma Leslie today and it's really good! I'll be definitely working to get some more of hers on here in the future!

Re: More R.M.Ballantyne books?

Okay, gotcha! I'll let you know if/when they start a collab project! Hm...I don't believe I've ever heard of Emma Leslie. One of here book titles looked slightly familiar when I looked her up, but I know I've never read any of hers. I'll have to listen to the one on here - it's always nice to find g...

Re: [GROUP/Historical Fiction] The Young Colonists: a Story of the Zulu and Boer Wars, by G. A. Henty - rr

The volume is good :thumbs: , but now it's saying there is a space in the file name?? I'm not seeing one, but am I just missing it? :hmm: :lol: I don't see one either! I know there are a few "invisible" characters that might count as spaces, but we'll see if we still get that warning when...

Re: More R.M.Ballantyne books?

I just finished reading a copy of 'The Hot Swamp'. It was a little more childish than I was hoping for. Last year I also read 'The Norsemen of the West' and that was somewhat similar. But I LOVE 'The Island Queen', and I know my siblings like some of his other works. So I might be interested in bei...
