Coming out of LV retirement for this, one of my all-time favorite novels. When we started Librivox, Gatsby's entry into the Public Domain seemed like a far-distant fantasy, yet here we are!! Elli will PL
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 - 1940).
Set in 1925, this is a novel of the Jazz Age; of ambition, of the careless rich, of wild parties and flappers and bootleg booze; and the efforts of a dreamer to reunite with his lost love. (Kara)
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!
The reader will record the following at the beginning and end of each file:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! START of recording (Intro):
"Chapter [number] of The Great Gatsby. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say: "The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. [Chapter]"
For the second and all subsequent sections, you may optionally use the shortened form of this intro disclaimer:
"Chapter [number] of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This LibriVox recording is in the Public Domain."
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Only if applicable, say: "[Chapter title]"
END of recording:
At the end of the section, say: "End of [Chapter]"
If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "End of The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. "
There should be ~5 seconds silence at the end of the recording.
Example filename greatgatsby_##_fitzgerald_128kb.mp3 (all lower-case) where ## is the section number (e.g. greatgatsby_01_fitzgerald_128kb.mp3)
Transfer of files (completed recordings) Please always post in this forum thread when you've sent a file. Also, post the length of the recording (file duration: mm:ss) together with the link.

I came here expecting to be one of twenty versions, yet all I see is one solo and one dramatic! Is this not the book that everyone has been waiting for for 16 years?

Well, since two of our MCs are in charge of the other projects, and since it would be difficult for an MC to have the same project twice in their uploader folder, I guess I can take this one on.
Set up! I put it in as Version 2, but I guess it's still to be determined which will be which version.

Don't forget to put a section/chapter title in the MW, even if it's just "Chapter 1" etc.
Thanks! It's been a while since I did this
