thank you, Roger, for this entertaining story. I immediately remembered your voice and style, though it has been some time since our last cooperation. :D

I've never heard of the species of crackers before :lol: I think this guy would drive me nuts.

The story is textually perfect, but the volume is a little bit below our accepted limits. Could you please amplify with about +4 dB and reupload once more ? Thanks !

Maybe I'll see you in one of the next Black Cats again. 8-)

Thanks Sonia, it's great to work with you again.

Yes, there's a reason this was so low in volume, and it is completely my fault.

I have increased the volume and re-uploaded, no other changes made:

thank you, Gillian, for this classic ghost-ship tale :9: wonderfully narrated, I really enjoyed it very much. You managed to bring the people alive in their direct speeches, the despair of Mary and the horror of the fishermen is really palpable here. :thumbs:

Totally PL ok :)

Lighthouse in the Sky is a song about hope and the perilous journey home,
a place of inner peace within us, even during difficult times.

wow what a story ! :shock: and there even was a cat in there. 8-)

Well, it was very agreeable to listen to your voice and your narrative/expressive reading qualities are really very very good. :thumbs: Also, no textual errors, so this section can be marked PL ok right away. A small funny remark concerning textual accuracy, you managed to read Mrs Baker for Mrs Barker every single time. :mrgreen: No worries, the name is not so very important, you don't have to re-do anything, I only mentioned it because I found it funny. But at least you were consistent throughout, otherwise I might have asked to change the name so that it's the same throughout ;)

And careful with the filename, as we have less than 10 sections, you don't need the leading 0 here in the section number. But I changed it now as there are no other errors, no need to reupload.

Thank you, and maybe I'll be hearing you in one of the next Black Cats again. Watch this thread, I will always announce when I post the next issue. Which will probably be as soon as we have one more section in.

thank you, Julie !! I will probably PL tomorrow, looking forward to it.

And since we are down to one last section, as promised, here is the next Black Cat:

viewtopic.php?f=26&t=88408

Five new stories waiting for interested readers, maybe I'll hear some of you in there again.

awww yes, I did enjoy it. I was nearly moved to tears at the ending. :9: Wonderfully narrated again, Julie, thank you so much. This is straight PL ok.

:9: thank you, J. Now I wasn't expecting the last story so soon. But it was awesomely well narrated (you earn your forum name definitely :mrgreen: ) What a sad ending, what a tragic love story. But wonderfully written and engagingly narrated. A perfect ending to yet another Black Cat.

This is PL ok. Thank you so much, and I hope I will be hearing you in another Black Cat some day. The current one unfortunately has been fully claimed yesterday, but there will be plenty more to come, so watch out for them ;)

These are the teasers I concocted up for this issue, I hope you are all happy with your description:
The Lost Paradise: a floating island gets its owner into political troubles
My Invisible Friend: witness the tragic outcome of an ingenious invention
Pendarvis, the Cracker: some people go to great lengths to avoid their daily work
"Le Bretagne": will the drowned sailor keep his promise to return to his wife by Christmas ?
Carmen Gutierrez: a tragic love in the times of the Cuban war for independence
Regina: the young seeds of budding love still bloom after many long years
A huge thanks to all the enthusiastic narrators of this issue: Greg, Nichole, Roger, Gillian, J and Julie. :clap:

Will start cataloguing now and post the link once it's done.
