With Tad Coon completed, it's time for another John Breck book, where we will find him again along with Nibble Bunny, Doctor Muskrat and the rest of the Woodsfolk friends.

I know I'm early, but I'd like to clean sections 1, 5, and 6

Could I have 7 and 10, please? You also are missing an "R" in the author's last name.

Thanks,

M

Early claims are okay here.

An MC will have to correct my typo in the main listing.
Thanks for the observation.

That would be fine.
I see you're new as a PL, but that is okay! I'm going to send you a PM (private message) with some tips that I give to new DPLs that I work with.

The MC who picks up this project will put you in as DPL.
We've already got some excellent readers lined up for this project that I know you will enjoy listening to.

I would like to read 9 and 10 whenever this is ready

This is set up, Oreki entered as DPL, all instances of "Beck" changed to "Breck."

Hello, I would like to claim chapter 4. I'm new here - I'm assuming I need to wait for your "go" before recording? Thanks!

Thank you for setting this up and getting the "r" back in Break, I mean Breck.

This is the first time I've had a project fully subscribed before it was even set up, so I guess we can go directly to "Readers Found"

Unfortunately, there were prior claims for these sections, and all other sections have been claimed for this project. Highly unusual, I assure you. We have many other project to choose from, and there will be a few more in this series, and I'll soon be launching another in the Billy Whiskers series.

Thanks so much for your interenst!

We're all set up, so consider this your official,"go!"

Just let me know how you would like to be listed in the LibriVox catalog -- real name, pseudonym, or any nickname you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of you LV work.
