This is set up. I edited your intro just a little bit ("piqued" for "peaked" and his/her for his/her's). :)

I would like to claim A Quarrel in Fairyland which I think should be section 99

Can I also claim section 100 (In the cool of the evening)

I will claim a few more when MW is filled 😺

I didn’t know you could claim stories in the launch pad!
I guess I’d better get to it.
I’ve greatly enjoyed recording for the other seasonal story books by them.
If it is not too early of me, I would like to claim:
Nature’s Song (25)
The Story of Arachne (42)
The Grubbiest Grub (51)
Woodman, Spare That Tree (69)
Enchanted Tulips (86)
I hope the section numbers are correct.
Thank you very much!

Looks like you're new to Librivox, a pleasure to have you here! From what I know, it looks like you haven't done your one-minute test yet, which is something we require all Librivox newbies to do before they start claiming in a project. I'll keep this section reserved for you. :)

I seem to have added an extra section by mistake. Is there any way I can remove it or can the MC only remove it?

Only MCs can remove it, so people don't accidentally delete sections. :) I'll do so.
