Ever want to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, only to have the whole world fight to keep you down? Ever been upstanding and righteous, only to have those around you take advantage of you? In the most unique of circumstances, watch a woman flee from a lavish world of slavery in a brothel, to live in the muck and mire of squalor. With the law chasing after her, The Girl from Farris' must find a way to merely survive. And in other parts of town, watch an upstanding citizen go from Riches to Rags as his fiance' and business partners slowly tear down the soul of the man. Watch as these two paths collide at different points in their lives. Will it be happily ever after, or a bitter end?

Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

============================================
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! START of recording (Intro):
"Chapter [number] of The Girl from Farris. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say: "[SOLO] The Girl from Farris' , by Edgar Rice Burroughs. [Chapter]"
For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:
"Chapter [number] of The Girl from Farris' by Edgar Rice Burroughs. This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain."
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Only if applicable, say: "[Chapter title]"
END of recording:
At the end of the section, say: "End of [Chapter]"
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "End of The Girl from Farris' , by Edgar Rice Burroughs. "
There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording, or 10 seconds for files longer than 30 minutes.
Example filename girlfromfarris_##_burroughs.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. girlfromfarris_01_burroughs.mp3)
Transfer of files (completed recordings) Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file. Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.
I'm not sure about that as a source . It's also on PG Australia which usually means that PG were unable to clear it for the USA.
It was published as a magazine serial in 1916 but PG , and hence us, would need to have proof that the text is from the magazine , not the book which was published in the 1950's
Wikisource doesn't even say where the etext is from . If you could find scans of the original publication with dates showing and read from those scans it would be fine for us. Someone else may have an idea .
I did say about that in my first post. Why do you think it's original - did I miss something ? The image is just from a ERB website. Australia , like almost all of the world, bases PD on the author's death date , he is PD in Australia.

If this pushes through I'd like to be the DPL for this. Don't worry about me being a new joiner - I know how the PL-ing works, did it myself a few years back.
Keeping my fingers crossed it does!
