Target completion date: 2024-06-03

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Hi Ashton,
I'll MC this for you. I will send you a private message with information on being a soloist and accessing/updating the magic window.
Cheers,
Amy

Hey there! I apologize for the delay in PLing this! Wonderful reading, I do have one tiny PL note for you:

At the end of the section, please just include "End of preface," and then the 5 seconds of silence.

Very well done! Looking forward to the next sections! :D

Thanks
Elijah
