Welcome here! wikisource is not the best place to use as text source. In this case, it doesn't give me the original source document of the text to ascertain its public domain status. I'll ask other admins to see if we can come up with something (or maybe you have the original?)EtherBottle wrote: ↑June 17th, 2022, 12:23 pm There Was a Man Dwelt by a Churchyard by M.R. James

This is my first proper recording for the site...I have done my 1 minute test and all that. Hopefully the skills learned there translated to this Thing. As for my name for the catalogue, Olive Blair should suffice.
In the meantime, see if you can find other stories you'd like to record from gutenberg.org or the posted suggestions that are linked in the first post of this thread.

There Was a Man was published in an Eton College publication called Snapdragon in Dec. 1924. The story itself is definitely public domain but after some sleuthing I've not been able to track down a single issue of that magazine. The first printed collection that included There Was a Man in book form was in 1931, so not quite in the public domain. Not that a scan of that exists online to my knowledge, anyway.Rapunzelina wrote: ↑June 18th, 2022, 5:57 am Welcome here! wikisource is not the best place to use as text source.

I'd wager that Wikisource doesn't know quite where to source its text for this reason.
Here's a version from Gutenberg Canada: https://gutenberg.ca/ebooks/jamesmr-dweltbyachurchyard/jamesmr-dweltbyachurchyard-00-h.html I'm not sure whether this text is any more reliable as the story probably would have entered the Canadian public domain around 1987, or possibly at the latest in 2006, if I'm understanding Canada's copyright law correctly.

Thank you for your research! The Gutenberg Canada is using the 1931 text. We'd need to link to an obviously 1924 text to keep Librivox safe from a legal standpoint.
I've looked pretty hard for this one and honestly I can't find it anywhere. It appears to have been originally published in some local college magazine (Snapdragon) that hasn't been digitized at all. The same goes for another M.R. James story After Dark in the Playing Fields. Looks like these are probably going to have to wait a few years before they can be safely recorded unless somebody in the Eton area wants to check the college library archives there for it.Rapunzelina wrote: ↑June 18th, 2022, 8:55 am Thank you for your research!

Hi Rapunzelina,
Please find below my submission for this collection:
Title: Jerry Jarvis's Wig
Author: Richard Harris Barham
Source: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/59236/59236-h/59236-h.htm#JERRY_JARVISS_WIG
Length: 46:16

I don't know if it's worth adding a note to the entry, but:
The song quoted at the beginning of the story is a real song, "The Wig Gallery" by Charles Dibdin. Should anyone wish to hear the song itself, a verse and chorus is sung in the HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast's free episode on Jerry Jarvis's Wig (https://www.hppodcraft.com/episodes/episode-570-concerning-corinna-f7at2-8l9ht-kxszm-a2jlp-h7tlj-empxp-9ny7p-c6m72-tezrr-45wya-99cwl-2n5p6) - the song commences around 5:14.
As an aside, I recorded this with my new mic and PC set-up (upgraded my Blue Yeti to a Shure MV7) - please let me know if you have any notes about sound quality as this is my first full reading using the Shure, and it may still need some 'dialling in'. It sounds fine through my good quality headphones, but a little rumbly through my PC speakers. I think that's a combination of my new speakers being heavier on the bass (which I've now adjusted) and maybe I need to be a bit further away from the Shure than I'm used to being with the Yeti for the next recording.

Hi Kevin! Welcome to the Ghost and Horror Collection! Thank you for your offering I have one edit to suggest: to add "End of ..." before the story title at around 20:20.Kcrody wrote: ↑July 3rd, 2022, 1:19 pm I would like to Submit a story for the collection.

Thank you for your recording, Rafe! PL OK! Congrats on your new microphone! It sounds great through my simple/cheap earphones.rafeball wrote: ↑July 5th, 2022, 8:05 am As an aside, I recorded this with my new mic and PC set-up (upgraded my Blue Yeti to a Shure MV7) - please let me know if you have any notes about sound quality as this is my first full reading using the Shure, and it may still need some 'dialling in'.

Thank you, Dale! I agree, Beaumont, a very interesting guy! This is PL OK, I'll just mention a deviation from the text as an optional edit, at 9:07, where text is "a world of eternities, an eternity of worlds" and I think I hear entities for eternities.
Hi:
Nice catch. I have made the correction and reloaded.

Everything else the same.
Thanks for your care.

I am sure this was a Twilight Zone. and not the one where they just changed the people's faces. "Everyone must conform!" Still a relevant message.
Thanks
