Just want to drop in here to thank everyone who has worked on and contributed to this book. Thanks, Ann, for patiently answering my questions. Thanks, Doug, Robert, Kyle, Mike, Chewie Jr, and Erin for recording. Extra thanks to Mike/2peltons for stepping up to make sure the project gets finished. I ...

My story's a lot simpler and not as exciting as the others here. I found Librivox because I got a cold. It was the kind of cold that makes you take a few days off work and makes you want to stray in bed as much as possible. I love to read, but reading in bed is uncomfortable; I thought audiobooks wo...

Chapter 24 is PL OK! The "Laughter and Applause" sounds just fine! :D I'm glad that worked out. I'd have to experiment a little, but I know that Audacity can record multiple tracks within a single project - I assume that there's a way to combine all the tracks into a single .mp3. THat wou...

Chapter 24 uploaded, with the caveat mentioned in my previous post about that mangled paragraph!

Argh! I feel like I keep bothering you with trivialities, Ann.... Started reading Chapter 24 and ran into a paragraph which makes no sense to me. It's this: At the station Rhinds counted the money he had about him. At a bank in another city was a thousand dollars or so more. Rhinds took the train an...

Another style question for you, Ann - In Chapter 24, there is a closing speech by Lt. Danvers in which are interspersed parenthetical actions of the lieutenant's audience; here's an example - "....'Wonderful' may not be quite the word, but, at this moment, I am so carried away with enthusiasm t...

Okay, I will do three more - 22, 23 and 24 - if that's okay with you.

Well, that's a bummer about the not-so-perfect job! Now you have more time for recording! Thank you are chapter 14. Would you like some more sections? Well, that's the thing, Ann - I feel sorta guilty about taking more sections. I know you said your philosophy is "you snooze, you lose", b...

Chapter 14 has been uploaded! https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/submarineboyslightningcruise_14_durham_128kb.mp3 File size is 5.71 MB, time is 05:57 Sorry for the delay. Turns out that I didn't get that job in Georgia that I thought was the perfect position for me. I guess that's a sign that it ...

May I take Chapter 14? I know I've done four chapters, and I don't want to hog too many in what's supposed to be a group project....

Thanks, Ann. As I told someone today about producing two chapters in one day - it's not necessarily that I'm getting better, just faster.
