Anita,

Thanks for all the advertising effort you are putting into this. I really appreciate it. I want to see this project get going!

I call it reader luring, and you're welcome.
Haven't tried bribery yet, but hypnotism seems a promising approach!

Being completely under Anita's power

I am here to volunteer for chapter 3 - The Corpse!

I've looked through it and the only word (so far) I don't feel confident with is M. Filleul's name: is it fill-uh-yer? That doesn't come out too well spelled phonetically, maybe someone here can help....

Otherwise I'll just give it my best shot after my USB mic arrives and after I fulfill my other recording commitment. <note to self: no more recording commitments till these 2 are finished!>

Opheliad Chapter 3 is yours.

I know what you mean. I am constantly saying this to myself as I write the post for another commitment.

It's closer, I think, if you drop the "yer" the last sylable is almost like "Oi" in "Oi you!" So something like "fill oi"

Oops, thanks, I always forget the how often names DO pronounce the final consonant

"Filleul" actually means "godson".
