An asthmatic young man, Tony "Pocket" Upton, leaves boarding school for a couple of days to go into London to see a specialist doctor about his asthma medication. His intention to stay the night with friends does not turn out quite as planned... and from there on, trouble escalates in ways he'd never been able to imagine. ( Amazon reviewer)
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!

Hi Judy,
how are you? I promessed to pop in and wish you good luck, so I do. Just please note that the summary you provided would have to change before cataloguing, as it is not in the public domain and every matirial we publish must be. I mean, the amazon reviewer did not put it there. Perhaps Anne knows more... But have fun and good luck. Sounds great.
Stav.
Love gothic novels? Try Children Of The Abbey. Like surprising mysteries? Try The Amathist Cross. Looking for an easy read? Try Harriet's Choice.
It's OK Stav, I didn't put it in the database , But it may attract a DPL . She can do one when she's read the book, hopefully one that will inspire listeners
Almost ready to record. Waiting for my "popper stopper" mic attachment to arrive.
Does it matter that there are chapters and not sections? Each chapter has a name.
Is this your first solo - I didn't realise . Can you access the MW ?
I've put in what I would put into the title field , but you can adjust as you wish.
With what I have put , the catalogue page will show
01 A conscientious ass and the ID tag and Archive 01 - A conscietious ass
Yes, my first. Am very excited. Not sure I can access the MW (so I can put the chapter titles in?) but could do so on one other project, and will try using that login info.

Thank you Max!
forgive my extreme newbieness
You, as BC, have to accept my offer, which you just did, then the MC will put me in the MW. We were all newbies once, so feel free to ask questions.
Max
DPL added .
Yes as Soloist/BC it is your thread . Maxine and I can offer advice but it is up to you to decide.
Of course if you want to do something which would not be able to be catalogued I'd have to step in but in general my role is to add it to the database and catalogue it when it's finished .
Please do add the other titles so I can see you can. It will be your job to maintain the MW - in this case to add the URLs and times of your recordingsas you do them and to set the flag to "Ready to PL" to summon Maxine.
, But it may attract a DPL
