1. How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
   To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are “up for grabs.” Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you’d like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
2. New to recording?
   Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
3. Is there a deadline?
   Target completion date of this project: 25 November 2009 – but try to send your recordings as soon as you can. Please note that if we haven't heard from you for two months, your section(s) will automatically be re-opened for other readers. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it’ll go back to the pool. There’s no shame in this; we’re all volunteers and things happen.
   
   Special Rules:
   I'd like to get this project cataloged by the end of the month, so if I have not received your recording within a week of your claiming it or by the target completion date (whichever comes first), I will re-release it.
4. Where do I find the text?
   Source text (please only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/45
5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)!
   If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

Hi! I'd like to read sections 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, and 38, if I could. Thanks!

As for my name in the catalog, you can just use H Corby.

[gypsygirl]

I have no objections to your reading all those sections, but as this is your first contribution, let's start you off with just a couple of chapters first, and you can sign up for more when you complete those. OK?

We also recommend that first time contributors complete a test recording of some sort (a poem for one of the collections, a couple of paragraphs from a chapter they've signed up for, the one-minute test in the wiki, etc), so we can check that all technical specs are correct before embarking on a full chapter.

That sounds fine. When you've finished it, uploaded it to the tests folder in the uploader (other uploader instructions in the first post) and post the link here.
