Aesop's Fables, Volume 6 (Fables 126-150)
It worked out so well that we're going to keep the system we set up last week. These Fables are very popular, and folks love to sign up for them. What's more, they're all SHORT - even a new reader can go from signup to sending the completed file in less than an hour. Experienced readers can literally do these in less than ten minutes. But real life often intrudes upon the best intentions, and sometimes these Fables go unread for extended periods.
So sign up for as many of these as you like, but only sign up for those which you're intending to read NOW. If I haven't received the file by the morning of the second day after I acknowledge your request for a Fable, that fable will again become available for readers to choose.
In order to make this easier, each Fable now has its own hotlink so you can just click on the Fable name and see the text of the Fable itself without having to download all 284 of them from Gutenberg. That way you can see what you're signing up for right off the bat - and even have it there in front of you to read then and there. They're tiny text files so they should pop up essentially instantly, even over a modem line. You may of course also download the complete text from Gutenberg.
Let me know what you think. We can adjust this plan in whatever fashion seems appropriate.
I thought that the idea of doing Aesop's Fables was charming, but was daunted by the fact that there are 284 of the things. Thanks to Annie for the elegant solution of breaking them up into Volumes of 25 Fables each. That'll allow us to read each Fable as an individual chapter. It'll make for short readings, which should prove a comfortable way for new folks to get their feet wet in the strange new format of reading aloud into your computer. A nice side benefit is that even folks with modem lines should be able to upload these without too much trouble. Most are less than 2 minutes long. Feel free to take a bunch of them!
Target completion date: February 25, 2006

Chip,
I'd love to take a couple of fables because I had so much fun with the last ones but I don't think I can get them done before Tuesday. I'll wait until Monday, and if there are any left, I'll take one or two of them, ok? I really like that new system, I think it will work out alot better.

No diet is impossible, hopeless maybe, but not impossible!

Sure, take your time pattimac. The idea is to keep these things from being claimed and then sitting idle for weeks. I finally re-opened The Lamp from Volume 3 so we can finally get that one closed!
We'll be happy to have you whenever you have the time. Don't forget that there are many more volumes to come!

You're welcome to claim all 25 if you like, Christine. Just remember that it's Saturday, so if I don't get them by Monday evening they'll become available again and you'll have to reclaim them.adelinfdm wrote:Let me know if I'm claiming too many.
But there are only 5 of them; you can have that done in an hour. The trick is finding a clear hour, isn't it...?
06-03 THE LARK AND THE FARMER <adelinfdm>
06-14 THE MOUSE AND THE BULL <adelinfdm>
06-18 THE WOLF, THE FOX, AND THE APE <adelinfdm>
