I've already recorded all chapters and done the editing but still need to add the intros. I was learning a lot about noise reduction throughout the project so some chapters can be rerecorded if you think they sound bad.

I will MC for you. MW is all set up. Let's see if a DPL will come along.

It's your job to enter this into the MW along with filling in the Titles and the times in the Notes. Here is a link to the instructions for doing this. Let me know if you need any help.

Section 0. Foreword - PL Notes:
Currently 5s silence at the beginning, as opposed to 0.5-1s

09:11: Repeat: "Her sides were still throbbing violently..." x2
11:59: heard *clinging*, should be: "...and *clung* to her beloved sides..."

I was actually thinking it was 5s at the beginning and at the end so they were all like that. I've gone through and trimmed the beginnings and also made all those other corrections and I'm reuploading all of it. I'm not all that computersmart so correct me if I'm wrong in thinking that I wouldn't need to paste the links to the reuploaded chapters again in the section compiler since they would have the same file names. Or should I do that anyway?

You are correct; you don't need to paste the links for the new files in the MW since they have the same file name. The old files are automatically renamed behind the scenes so you don't have to worry about it.
