Oh good, I hope it works! It shows a pen name in Gutenberg so if I have to rerecord that part because of that I certainly will.Lynnet wrote: ↑July 29th, 2021, 2:10 pmEdit: I’m afraid it isn’t acceptable unless you can find the same story on Gutenberg. It is just possible the copyright wasn’t extended, in which case we could accept it… but we don’t have the resources to check it. We rely heavily on Gutenberg’s extensive checking.Lynnet wrote: ↑July 29th, 2021, 2:00 pmThank you. However, I am afraid I can’t accept it. It is dated 1939 and we need it to be before 1926 to be in the Public Domain.

I will need to check the one you read is exactly the same, but it may be ok.

Hello,
I am new to this site but would like to get involved in this project! Do I need to be cleared for a section and where do I find the appropriate text?
Thanks,
Dan

The first thing to do is your one minute test https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test
Select “tests” as the MC and paste the URL from the uploader into a post in the Listeners Wanted forum.
This project (and other collections) works differently from “regular” projects in that readers find their own texts. As you can see from the discussion with Veronica above, Public Domain law is a quagmire, depending on where you are located. In all cases, texts must be Public Domain in the US (where our servers are located)… which generally means published/translated before 1926. The best place to start is projectgutenberg.org. Look at their bookshelves and you will often find periodicals with appropriate stories; single author collections often yield great stories. Don’t worry if a story has already been recorded. I won’t use the same story twice in one collection, holding the second over til the next collection, but stories from older collections are fair game

The Record.
~2:50 the texts diverge. Gutenberg text: "Paleontologists had found, and articulated, and catalogued every fossil. The ancestor of the Eohippus, the little four-toed Dawn Horse, was discovered; the direct line between man and ape established in skeletal remains; the seat of life itself definitely proved Holarctica. And great bio-chemists, skilled in the science of vital processes, had created synthetic tissues and muscles and flesh, built upon the frames that had been recovered bodies with skillful modeling ... even supplied them with blood and given them the spark of LIFE ... so that Paleobotonists recreated the flora of a prehistoric era. Again the ponderous amphibious brontosaur pushed through marshes. Fish emerged upon the land, and the first bird archaeopteryx tried his imperfect wings for flight. In the regulated climates of long dead ages, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals lived again for the edification of those interested in the very ancient—or who were amused with queer animals."
It then returns to what you read.

~5:50 "insulated on the interior for the wearer" I hear weaver

I'd like to do 'The Ghost' by Oliver Onions, if suitable:

This meets US PD requirements, but depending on where you are, might or might not be OK. Onions died in 1961, I.e. 60 years ago. Most of Europe and Australia require the author to have been dead 70 years.jakemalizia wrote: ↑July 30th, 2021, 2:12 pm I'd like to do 'The Ghost' by Oliver Onions, if suitable:

Is this story available on Gutenberg? The story itself is PD, but I’m not sure this particular version is (it clearly states one can pay for access). We need to be absolutely sure it is PD… we are a volunteer group with no access to legal representation. We trust Gutenberg as their legal department checks things thoroughly.
