Please find above part 32, the first section on Frederick the Great. Apologies for my late submission!

All the best to everyone,

Henners.
Thanks Henners! Queued for PL, and you're not late! From your initial claim you have until Sept 23 to complete them. If you need extra time for the other two, that's no issue either. Just let me know :)
Cheers, Claire

Hi Henners! Another very nice reading, even the material is quite horrid. That poor boy was just set up for failure. Ugh!

Just one edit please.

Intro - Please reduce the silence at the beginning of the intro to .5-1 second total. Currently it's running about 5 seconds.

Once completed, please reupload the file under the same name and post in the thread so I can do a quick spot check.
Cheers, Claire

Hi Christine! Reader for sections 16,17,18,29 has not been around since their submissions in July. I went ahead and updated the files, as it was mostly adding silence and fixing an outro. Would you mind doing a spot check when you have a chance?

17,18,29 - fixed to include 5 seconds of silence at end of files (no other changes)
16 - corrected outro (now says End of section 16) and also fixed the 5 seconds of silence.

Those items above were the only changes made to thoe files. Thanks!
Cheers, Claire

Dear All,

Please find attached part 2 of Frederick the Great; pt33. Seeing as no one has decided to pick it up, I'll have a go at the last Chapter if no one objects; Gustavus Adolfus.

All the best and thanks, Henners.

How miserable of a life he led. My goodness!

Just one edit please:

Around 19:09 - repeat of "his father lost much of his control over him..."

Thanks so much Henners!

33 is spot PL OK. Great job with the edit. 34 is marked for PL. I'll be away from my computer starting tomorrow through Oct 6. If I don't get a chance to PL 34 today, I'll do it upon my return. Thanks!

PS - Please be careful with the file names. Looks like 34 has some duplicate info in the file name. No need to fix it unless there are any edits, but just be extra cautious going forward please. Thanks!
Cheers, Claire
