Hello Olli and welcome to the Rover magazine :) Of course I can sign you up for both sections (I suppose you wanted both and not substituting the first choice with the second :hmm: ). Good choice as they are both quite short, nice to start with. Looking forward to hearing your voice.

Since you are fairly new here, please read carefully through the first post, to get the exact wording for the intro/outro and the title as mentioned in the Magic Window, as well as the naming of the finished file.

Any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for claiming. Sections 6 and 7 are yours. By the way, best always to mention the section number as well to be really accurate what you want.
