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.

Hello all, I am very happy to say that I recovered and can now return to my role as BC. I don't feel confident to return to dpling right now but bcing is great for me. So don't worry, this project is in good hands. In addition, the number of pages for the beginning and ending of each chapter is available so I can set up the magic window.

Ok, your MW is ready for you and I've added cadastra in as DPL. I noticed also that you didn't choose a genre, so I tentatively added "General Fiction/Published 1800 -1900," but I can easily change that if you like. Let me know if you need anything else!
Hi, what a very nice surprise. How lovely to work with you. Yes, general fiction is great, thanks for adding that. I will fill in the mw asap. this is going to be a fun project, a book with a very clever plot.

After browsing through unfinished projects this one caught my attention, I was wondering if I could join. It appears that all chapters are available, could I start with chapter 1? This would be my 1st time volunteering for Librivox.

Good evening,
After browsing through unfinished projects this one caught my attention, I was wondering if I could join. It appears that all chapters are available, could I start with chapter 1? This would be my 1st time volunteering for Librivox.
Hello, welcome to Librivox. I hope you will enjoy here. Sure, chapter 1 is all yours. However, before you proceed, please do two things:
1. please submit a one- minute sampal recording, to make sure that your technical settings are all correct.
2. Please let us know under which name you would like to be credited in the catalogue. It can be your real name, your forum name, or something else that you choose.
Stav.
