Don, there is nowhere to submit this until an MC has set up the project in your other post. Please do not submit anymore files until that is done. Thanks.

Hi Don, I see the Weird Tales, Volume 1, Number 3, May 1923 issue link you are reading from includes Chapters 1 to 8 of The Moon Terror, are you planning to read these 8 chapters? It looks like you are planning to read chapters 1 & 2 only.

Reading Part 2 of the story in Weird Tales, Volume 1, Number 4, June 1923 (chapters 9 - 13) would make an epic sci-fi contribution for LibriVox. :D

Don, please answer the following questions:

1. Are you going to read all 8 chapters as aradlaw suggested? If so, this project will need 8 sections, not 2.

2. I am assuming we can delete your other post about this project? Is that true?

Yes, I will be reading all 8 chapters.
This is my first solo, so I'm a little confused as to the procedure.
I have three chapters ready to upload.
Am I looking for a MC to create a "magic Box?"

I have a DPL volunteer apophennec

Please help when you or anyone on this thread has the time.

Thanks

Are you only reading the first 8 chapters? The text you linked to is just the first half of the story. Weird Tales issue 4 here has the remaining 5 chapters: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/69608
The Moon Terror should be 13 chapters total.

And yes, you're waiting on an MC to give you a magic window. Then you can fill out the chapter names in the window and copy the links to the file uploads in the File URL field.

Don, I will be your Meta Coordinator (MC) for this project. I set up the Magic Window (MW) including the chapter you already submitted (which I moved to my upload folder). As the Book Coordinator (BC), it's your job to enter this information into the MW. Here is a link to the instructions for doing this. Let me know if you need any help with it.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kVj409nG_E0XJ5UrrcL7EVx7Qyx-2UQ7dbw4mINi3XQ

As aradlaw and flavo5000 mentioned, there are more chapters for this in Part 2. Would you like to add those to this project? If so, we will add more chapters and add the other archive link to the second half.

If not, then we need to list this as Part 1 of The Moon Terror and make some other appropriate changes.

I will read ALL the chapters of Moon Terror. Someone else indicated that there were 8 chapters.

Can't we simplify the instructions? It would take me longer to read the instructions than to read the project!! LOL

Can't we establish the magic box and then send me a link to it??

BTW I will upload chapter one again inasmuch as I called it "section 1" originally.

Thanks for your patience. This is my first solo. I have done several sections for others when the box was established.

Section 1 PL Notes:

05:04 repeat: "This time too..."
05:55: heard *becoming*, should be, "Science now *became* fully aware..."
13:48: Word hoax gets cut short: "Of course, this is probably some hoa- but our operator..."

:lol: gotta love societal pandemonium, this story's gonna be a good one

By magic "box", I assume you mean the Magic Window. I established the MW earlier (look in the first post you made) and filled in the information for Chapter 1 for you; you need to learn how to do this. The only parts of the instructions you need to read are sections 1, 2, 3, and 4a, 4b, 4e, and 4f. These are really simple; just follow along in the project as you read what to do. The rest of the instructions are not something you need to do for this project.

There are 13 chapters of this story. The other 5 chapters are found here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/69608 and I have added this link to the original post.

You will also need to come up with a different Description for the book.

Also, I will be moving this project to the Going Solo forum after you check in again.
