The Fifth Queen Crowned, by Ford Madox Ford (1873 - 1939)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-fifth-queen-crowned-by-ford-madox-ford/

This is the final book of Ford's The Fifth Queen trilogy, a series of historical novels presenting a fictionalized version of the life of Katharine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry VIII. In this last installment, Katharine is now queen, but calumnious rumors gaining traction in the king's court are putting her reputation and life at stake. (Summary by Scarbo)

I would like to be the DPL for this project.

Here we are! Can I claim the whole shebang?

Post by **icequeen** » December 4th, 2022, 3:51 pm

I can MC this one, so I will set up the MW for you. But, I do need some clarification, because there is a post in the Launch Pad for this same project, but no template. What are we doing here? Is this going to be solo project for Mark, or a group project?

7A2c3Ml · Post by **7A2c3Ml** » December 4th, 2022, 4:14 pm

Let me try to explain. I tried setting this up as a solo, but it got bollixed up, so Scarbo helped me set it up as a group project, just to get it open. The idea was that I would then claim all the chapters

Post by **icequeen** » December 4th, 2022, 4:18 pm

OK, so do you want to learn how to run the MW? Or, are you going to rely on Scarbo to do this for you? It is better that you learn how to do this on your own.

7A2c3Ml · Post by **7A2c3Ml** » December 4th, 2022, 7:08 pm

Yes, what do I do now? I see the Magic Window is open, but how do I move this over to wherever it goes from here?

Post by **icequeen** » December 4th, 2022, 10:26 pm

Actually, the moving on the thread is an admin super power, and we are just doing baby steps right now. For now, I need to the access the MW for the first time. We are going to be shutdown for at least tomorrow, so you may not get to this right away. That is fine. But, here are the instructions for accessing the workflow system, which the MW is one part of. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kVj409nG_E0XJ5UrrcL7EVx7Qyx-2UQ7dbw4mINi3XQ I need you to do that whenever you are able to, then let me know when you are in, or if you have any problems. The biggest problem most people have is being logged into the uploader. The uploader has a different password than the MW, so if you are told you don't have permission to access, go to the uploader and log out. Scarbo and I will help you as much, or as little, as you need. Ask all the questions that you want!

First off, WELCOME BACK, LIBRIVOX!!
Then, having had two days to ponder, no, I have no desire to produce these extravaganzas. That's simply not in my interest zone; me, I'm a recording guy. So, however we package this, can this be something where I record the stories, and leave it to you, Ice Queen, to manage it?

Post by **icequeen** » December 7th, 2022, 12:44 pm

I can, if Scarbo is not going to BC the project. I would rather not, because I have 39 other projects that I am handling, so, Scarbo, if you are wanting to handle the project, please do so.

Scarbo · Post by **Scarbo** » December 7th, 2022, 4:12 pm

I'll be happy to BC! I'll try to get the MW chapters filled in tonight.

Scarbo · Post by **Scarbo** » December 7th, 2022, 5:45 pm

The MW now has chapters! By the way, Mark, I didn't include word counts since this is a solo project. Also, if you by any chance wrote your own summary that you'd prefer to use, you're welcome to replace mine with it.

Perfect! Thank you very much!

Thank you! The link wasn't working for me. When you have a chance, could you try uploading this section again?
