Great, I will await your awesome MCness...

Anyway, sorry for not getting any new chapters as of late, I was half way through chapter five when the building got incredibly loud, and (With twenty minutes to go), I haven't gotten a chance to finish it.

And I need a list to give credit for the people who helped with the project.

Wonderful, I haven't edited any of it yet, but I can upload the version with 1001 mistakes.

It doesn't matter. We can wait until you've edited or you can post for editing help on the forums. We do have people who love editing (I'm not one of them) who are happy to help out.

I just checked the catalog, so why do I have a -1 at the end of Time Machine, The. In Around the World in 80 Days, that made sense, because there was another one, but the catalog says I'm the only person reading this book.

I don't know. I guess it means you are #1.

Yay, I feel special. O, and by the way, I finished Chapter 07.

I bet someone else once started a project of The Time Machine, but never did anything about it, and their record was still around when yours was created, hence the -1.

That was what happened with Around the World in 80 Days, but the catalog didn't show ANY sign of another Time Machine, good to know my machine is genuine.

Anyway, back to work...

I did some sleuthing and there were in fact two solo versions of Time Machine started but never completed. Project Gutenberg also has a human-read audio version dating back to 2005. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/17401

But you're still #1 to me.

TBOL3 · Post by **TBOL3** » April 9th, 2007, 7:34 pm

Ok, as for the two solo vertions, I don't know why they would affect this, because they died out before the new catalog, However, it is possible that Gutenberg edition may have something to do with it.

It was actually that audio book that started my love of the time machine.

Two more thins, I will try to get another chapter or two read, and one edited this week (but no promises

).

And finally, I still fill special.
