Tomorrow is the 12th anniversary of my joining LibriVox
As for your story, oh, how tragic. But how could this man raise the child before him Excellently narrated, only one small bit missing:
> at 0:31: could you please repeat "Section 5" before the title here ?
the rest was perfect, thanks
Sonia
woah, yes this beginning was very powerful. Buried alive is an unthinkable horror a really gripping story and with a happy ending. Though I would have loved to hear more about the group that actually made the imprisonments and their motivations.Inkell wrote: ↑February 15th, 2024, 1:32 pmHere is section 3: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/blackcat0402nov1898_3_various_128kb.mp3 (30 mins, 7 secs)
A very long one but it had such a strong opening I just had to see where it went
But excellently read, I only found one small error which would benefit from correcting:
> at 14:33: (p. 30) "or otherwise displease" - you say "displeasure"
thanks
Sonia
now that one was a funny story yes a small typo can have a big meaning change ! a wonderfully entertaining story. ThanksGregGiordano wrote: ↑February 17th, 2024, 10:54 amHere is Section 2 -

Just two small edits:
> at 9:14: (p. 19) "of the usual allusions to the weather" - you say "unusual"
> at 17:11: (p. 22) "partly from fear that the old fiend's scheme" - you say "man", probably optional, but maybe "fiend" is more powerful in this context

And I agree, it was good but I felt like it could've benefited from being a bit longer and given time to flesh things like that out a bit more.
Oh and welcome back! I hope you had a nice trip
it was a beautiful trip and we did some great sightseeing but it's also good to be back home.Inkell wrote: ↑February 18th, 2024, 6:54 amTry this: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/blackcat0402nov1898_3_various_128kb.mp3

Here is Part 2 with both requested corrections (I agree that the original word "fiend" is more powerful - I don't quite kno2 how I changed that to "man"):

The Pillow of Justice? Sounds like a Mike Lindell-financed superhero movie.

indeed, reminds me of the old action movies set in India and other exotic places. An intriguing story and very engagingly narrated, I loved it. Thankspyledriver wrote: ↑February 24th, 2024, 4:12 pmThe Pillow of Justice? Sounds like a Mike Lindell-financed superhero movie.

A few small edits to make still:
> from 0:24 to 0:31: the footnote can be cut, no need to include this, as it's not part of the story
> from 5:06 to 5:07: (p. 3) between "sword out of his hand" and "dagger out of his sash" - considering it's all one sentence, this silence feels a bit long and makes the sentence sound strange grammatically
> at 9:32: (p. 5) "which had so tormented him" - you say "tortured"
> at 14:09: (p. 8) repeat, can be cut "his eyes were shifty and his mouth a little cruel but these expressions are not unusual"
> from 29:04 to 29:06: between "and his beautiful wife" and "end of section 1" - maybe the long silence can also be cut a bit here
