Augustus visits King's Port, South Carolina, at the request of his Aunt Carola, and at her expense. She wants him to research geneaologies and records to find proof that he is descended from royalty so that he can join her exclusive club, the Colonial Society. While there, he becomes involved in a love affair between John Mayrant and Eliza La Heu. (Summary by Lois Hill)
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!

Thanks, Carolin. In the future, am I the one who is supposed to add the length and the "pl needed" notation in the magic window? I'll assume the answer is "yes" ...

another thing: there is an extra section for the preface (section 00, so that section 01 corresponds to chapter 01). were you going to record it later? im just asking because if i have to edit the sections in the magic window, it would be better to do it sooner than later since everything has to be moved around
Yes, there is an introduction that I will read separately. I got going on the story chapters and was going to do the intro later, but if it helps to do the parts in order, I'll do the intro next.
