Drugi zbiór opowiadań przedwojennego pisarza specjalizującego się w opowieściach niesamowitych.
Tym razem czytelnik otrzymuje 6 historii, które udzielą zaskakujących odpowiedzi na takie pytania jak: co to za dziwny zapach unosi się w miejscu pełnym róż? czy miejsce może przesiąknąć szaleństwem? co oznacza niezwykła scena widziana w oknie pewnego domu? a także kilka innych. (Summary by Piotr Nater)
Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record 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).

It's a collection of short stories, so I guess it's a good stepping stone between an individual short story and a full novel. And these are really interesting and original short stories, to boot
Btw. Should the title include Polish characters? I'm not sure.
Word count of individual stories:
"Na wzgórzu róż"- 3060
"Szalona zagroda" - 2300
"Po stycznej"- 3350
"Zez" - 3230
"Cień" - 5130
"W willi nad morzem" - 5450
I still can't figure out how these word counts will translate into running time, so perhaps one or two additional sections will be needed.

Hi,
I'm curious how fast people read so I did this math, hope it helps.
A word count on your submitted short story -
"Z LEGEND DAWNEGO EGIPTU" is 1799 words.
Your file is 11.16 minutes so you read that at 161 words per minute.
Doing the math on these numbers brings your duration times to approximately:
"Na wzgórzu róż"- 3060 words - 19 minutes
"Szalona zagroda" - 2300 words - 14 minutes
"Po stycznej"- 3350 words - 21 minutes
"Zez" - 3230 words - 20 minutes
"Cień" - 5130 words - 32 minutes
"W willi nad morzem" - 5450 words - 34 minutes
161 wpm is a good rate, I read a bit slow at 144 wpm.

161 wpm is a good rate, I read a bit slow at 144 wpm.
I'm trying to slow down a bit. Reading the way I do now makes me stumble quite often. I believe that if I slow down I'll have more time to "digest" the words, which will not only make my recordings easier to listen to, but will also allow me to save some time I now have to use on editing out slips and such.

I'll MC this for you - yes you will need to put accents everywhere - that way I have something to copy and paste for the catalogue and from those word counts the stories will be much less than an hour - 20-30 mins probably
All set up
I take it that is the title of the first story ? In English books of short stories often have titles like "Dracula's Ghost and other short stories - if this is the case here your intro etc wouldn't mention chapter - just the name of that story - (I struggle having much idea about Polish I fear but I don't think any of the other admins do much better )
I set up a sample for the titles - please leave the number in I want a format that I can use in the catalogue - variious steps of the cataloguing strip accents so I will copy and paste the field
I think you have MW access? Ask any questions
"Na wzgórzu róż" is both the title of the first story and the title of the collection.
Yes, I have access to the MW.
I added the titles and the reader. Which other sections do I edit (now or as the project progresses) and which are edited by the MC?

You add the url , time and PL wanted (in the notes field) - we can only try for a PLer, and mark it complete . You are the BC - I only set up , offer advice and catalogue when it is all done
I just wanted to let you know that I've begun working on this project. I've just recorded the 1st short story. Now I "only" have to edit the recording.

I'm still quite new to editing and I've been told that it's actually easier to fix a file that is too silent than to soften a too loud one. That's why I'm rather timid when it comes to amplifying stuff and this file may be too quiet at times. Besides, there's this weird effect that I don't know how to fix. I don't know how to describe it but it sounds a bit like a buzz immediately after my words. I know that you're not a PLer but could you please take a look at this one when you have a minute?
Btw. should I put a tick in the "completed" box in the MW next to section 1 or is this only done after PLing?
