Elroi,

You're reading is wonderful and I can't wait to hear more - but I have just a quick note for the Prologue. I am looking for about 0.5-1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording - but you have less than 0.5 seconds of silence. If you could just add a little more silence and re-upload it, I can mark is as PL OK.

I have corrected that and re-uploaded prologue.
So pleased that you are happy with the read!

Just a note for Chapter 2:

Please add a little more silence at the beginning of the recording (it's less than 0.5 seconds)

Daria, I am not happy with some characters etc and am busy re-recording some parts. I will make sure that it is perfect so that you don't have to listen to everything again. I love this book and want it to be really good so please bear with me.
Thanks
Elroi

Hi there Daria,
I have redone chapters 1 and 2 and busy on 3. I am really sorry about this - been struggling to find the right balance and keep it consistent but I am finally happy and don't think I can do better than this. I have listened and checked the files very carefully so hopefully they are fine.

Dear Elroi,

There has been some misunderstanding. Perhaps I didn't comprehend your message fully - but I didn't realize that you were planning to re-read all the chapters. I completely understand why you want to re-read them; however, as a DPL, proof-listening the chapters for over an hour-and-a-half, it's going to be challenging and time-consuming to reproof-listen them again. I will be happy to continue to PL chapters 4-24, but as a student, I am unable re-listen to chapters 1-3. Perhaps another volunteer who has more time will be willing to listen to them.

I am truly sorry about this inconvenience.

Daria

Hi Daria,
I should have explained myself better....I would not expect you to listen to those 3 chapters over again and I fully understand - it would be very unfair to you. I should have assigned it as spot PL rather which I was really expecting - just a check of the basics not listening to the whole thing. Will you be ok with that?
PS So sorry about all this- Lesson learned and will make triply sure that I am happy before uploading.
