How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

AFTER recording Need noise-cleaning?

I have sections 01, 02, 05, and 09 on my computer and can reupload when the MW is up. If these were your sections, please let me know and let me know what the PL status was. I believe I was caught up on PL'ing and everything was PL OK but I might be wrong so please verify. Thanks!

Edit: Section 1 was mine and is complete, and Section 7 was assigned to me but not done.
Thanks critterbane. I had to readd you to the catalog, did you have a real name/pseudonym or website listed? MaryAnn can update the record if you did, just let us know. I'm grateful for you checking in and helping me update the MW.
Monaxi wrote:I had claimed sections 4 and 5, and had uploaded section 5. You have that one?
Thanks Monaxi. Yes, I have section 5, just wasn't certain if it belonged to you or not. I'll add you back in for section 4 also. Thanks for helping me get our MW back up to speed.

Can you do simply a first name? "Matthieu" would be great.

I had previously signed up for section 3 - A Christmas Story. I have had to re-activate my account, but all is done and I am good to go now. I am new, however, I had already done my 1-minute test and had been given the OK before the system failure occurred. I am close to being done with section 3. Please let me know if there is anything else that you need from me. Thanks so much!

Hi Elisabeth.
Thanks for reminding us of your claim. I'll have to readd you to the catalog in order to assign you your section in the MW. Will you remind me how you wanted to be listed in the catalog? In addition to your "hollandhouse" forum username, you can have a name/pseudonym and a website listed. Let me know and I'll get you re-booked for section 3. Thanks again!
Just my username Hollandhouse and my name Elisabeth Holland will be fine. I don't have a website. Please let me know if you think I'm missing anything else that I need to add.
