IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded 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!

Thank you. Yes, I know this is Version 2 but Version 1 is a collaborative read and I think it's nice to offer the listeners a solo effort too.

Off to the woods for bear cub adventures ...

hmmm, I don't see the Magic Window here so I haven't added the file info yet. I'll wait for a message that it's ready to go.

cheers

Greetings -

Quick thoughts on Chapter 1:

There is a bit of background noise that might be filtered out but wasn't loud enough to affect listening to the recording.

Out of curiosity, I was wondering why you didn't read the short dedication. It is kinda cute.

Put it down as PL OK.

Chapters 2 and 3 have been deemed PL OK as well.

Hmm, can you flag the times when you heard background noise? I try pretty hard to filter but sometimes traffic sounds overlap with the voice. Was that the kind of noise you're referring to?
