Thank YOU, Brian. I really struggled with 17 as my cats simply would not let me be. I had to move around constantly.

Well, of course! The scene was set in the catacombs ... surely they felt that they had an interest in it! And who can blame them for that?VictoriaSan wrote: ↑March 29th, 2023, 5:54 am Thank YOU, Brian. I really struggled with 17 as my cats simply would not let me be. I had to move around constantly.

Y'know if I were to start orphaning sections ... I'd be starting with mine I'm looking forward to hearing YOUR section 32!

A truly brilliant performance, in my humble opinion. So, several months ago, I did maybe my 4th or 5th PL on a recording of yours for Polaris of the Snows, and I seriocomically commented that you should play Polaris in a movie or video game. And you replied that you'd contact your agent, if you had one. I have no idea what you do professionally, but no joke you have extraordinary talent, I think. I'm amazed and enthralled by the passion with which you deliver lines. Really great stuff, my friend. What more can I say, except that now, unfortunately, I have to do some nitpicking on what is otherwise a word perfect, utterly fantastic recording:DropDLife wrote: ↑April 1st, 2023, 9:29 pm Section 30 ready for PL, 11:54.

(0:24.5) you say Chapter 8 instead of Part 2, 8
Note: I re-checked just to see if I'd missed this nit in earlier recordings of your section intros - they were all perfect.

Another great recording. Again, I have to ask that you edit the intro:BrianFullen wrote: ↑April 2nd, 2023, 7:22 pmThank you!DropDLife wrote: ↑April 2nd, 2023, 7:21 pm Here's section 31 ready for PL:

(0:24.5) should be "Part 2, 9" not "Chapter 9"
I was going to ask that you include the footnote 11 but that was before I read this post from Sonia (Kitty): viewtopic.php?p=2007536#p2007536
Up until this time I've been laboring under the false impression that we have to read all of the text including text of footnotes. But now I see I've been wrong about that all along. I think it was perfectly fine that you omitted the footnoted chapter and verse for the citation of the Odyssey because it really would have added no value, as I see it, to the audiobook listener. And, oh no, now I have to PM Victoria and tell her that she does not have to do all those pesky, flow destroying footnotes that are in section 20!
