COMPLETE: [SOLO] Tarzan and the Ant Men by Edgar Rice Burroughs - dii

Chapter 6 is PL OK.

I see what you mean about the names. I think I've heard some of them on daytime television: "Ask your doctor if Komodoflorensal is right for you. Do not take Komodoflorensal if you are also taking Trohanadalmakus or Veltopishago."

Modern authors can use cut-and-paste to spell their weird names the same every time - Burroughs must have had to do that by hand.

Excellent job with the names by the way.

I'm going to save Chapter 7 for a few hours; time for a nap.

Chapter 7 is PL OK. Well read.

Edgar Rice Burroughs stories often feature armies of 10s of thousands.

Chapter 8 PL OK.

Chapter 9 - t ~15:36 I hear "he loses 1000 slaves to-to Dalfastomalo." I'll mark this PL OK, but you might want to take a listen there to see if you want to clean that spot up.

Ok, thanks - that was an edit spot, so I will check it out and see if I can make it a little cleaner.

I suspected an edit there.
By the way, how many tries does it take you to get those character and village names? (They're nice and consistent in your edited chapters. I can't get through a word with so many syllables without tripping over my tongue.)

In the latest chapter, several tries on a few. I can never get Zertalacolol right... One instance took five or six tries, with rehearsal in between.

I cleaned up that spot, if you don't mind giving it a quick spot-check.

Chapter 11 is PL OK.
I'm pretty sure Caraftap will not manage to kill Tarzan in chapter 12 - or in any future chapter.

Congratulations! Tarzan and the Ant Men is 50% complete.
