Thanks! This looks fun.

thank you Jennifer

great to have you on board ! I see your one-minute-test has already been approved and your reader page has already been opened, so I can assign you the section 6, no problem.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. All the relevant details for intro/outro and file naming are to be found in the first post !

Have fun with your first recording !

And for the time being we have reached Fully Claimed Status

So I'll move the project over to "Readers Found".

I see chapter 2 is up for grabs again, so I think I will claim that for myself to keep us fully claimed

(I'll sign myself up already, since I know you have limited MW access for the moment, Todd)

Hello,

Here is Chapter 14 - Yellow Rufe's Finish: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/piratewoman_14_dingle_128kb_mp3.mp3
Recording Time: 19:35

(Please list my name for the book as Carmen Fullmer.)

I hope the recording sounds good. In this chapter, Delores brings justice to her foe, antagonizes her captives, err, "guests", and decides it's time for dinner.

Thanks, Carmelea

Thank you. I do notice that you have an extra ".mp3" in the file name - Audacity automatically adds one when it exports. Let's see if there are any other PL comments first before fixing that.

I fixed the display name.

Thanks, Todd

woah, Yellow Rufe's ending was quite gruesome, especially because it was so minutely described. Dolores really is a nasty piece of work.

But the section was extremely entertaining, and wonderfully narrated by you, Carmen.

With your powerful and lively narrative, I really felt in the thick of it all, especially at the beginning when they yelled orders up and down the ship. You did a great job with the several distinct voices for each character. I love reading in character myself, so I am always thrilled when I hear sections read like this

I'm already looking forward to your next chapter !! Oh and if ever you consider joining the drama forum, Todd and me will be mightily pleased at this great addition. I'm sure you like it there, seeing how well you do character voices.

Textually, the recording was flawless. There is only one tiny error in the outro:

> at 19:24: you can cut out "the pirate woman" in the outro. This is not required for every chapter, only for the very last one of the book.

Thank you for this great reading !

Sonia

Sonia, I’m so glad you liked the reading. It was a lot of fun to record; the passages where characters were calling back and forth were definitely challenging.

I removed the part in the outro with the book title that you noted and renamed the file name as Todd instructed. I uploaded the passage again. Please let me know if you need something different:

Chapter 14 (19:31.57) https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/piratewoman_14_dingle_128kb.mp3

The Drama forum sounds neat.

Thanks very much for your enthusiasm in listening to the reading!!

Hello Todd,

I am working on Chapter 15. I want to do a nice job, and it would be pretty challenging to finish by this weekend. May I have an extension to complete the chapter?

Thanks for your consideration—

thank you ! Yes, this is perfectly PL ok now.

The Drama forum sounds neat.

YAY

can't wait to hear you over there

I am sure that's not a problem. I also prefer quality over quantity, so please don't rush through it. Now that we know you are working on it, the extension is normally not a problem. The deadlines get more enforced with people who go completely AWOL and where there is a risk that they are not interested anymore or have forgotten about it.

Thanks !

Sonia

Yes, please finish Chapter 15. I have to find out how the story continues!

Thanks, Todd

I have orphaned section 18.

Thanks, Todd
