Rilla of Ingleside (1921) is the final book in the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but was the sixth of the eight "Anne" novels she wrote. This book draws the focus back onto a single character, Anne and Gilbert's youngest daughter Bertha Marilla "Rilla" Blythe. It has a more serious tone, as it takes place during World War I and the three Blythe boys -- Jem, Walter, and Shirley -- along with Rilla's sweetheart Ken Ford, and playmates Jerry Meredith and Carl Meredith -- end up fighting in Europe with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. (Summary by Wikipedia)
How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here
To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you'd like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
Is there a deadline?
We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen. Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.
Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard
Please don't download files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
DURING recording: Please leave no more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of your recording!
Make sure you add this to the beginning and end of your recording: Start of recording (Intro)
"Chapter [number] of Rilla of Ingleside. - This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name]"
Say: " Rilla of Ingleside , by Lucy Maud Montgomery . [Chapter]"
End of recording
At the end of the section, say: "End of [Chapter]"
If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
At the end of the book, say (in addition): "End of Rilla of Ingleside , by Lucy Maud Montgomery . "
Please leave 5 seconds silence at the end of your recording, or 10 seconds for files longer than 30 minutes!
Also, please remember to check this thread frequently for updates!
AFTER recording: Need noise-cleaning?
Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some constant background noise (hiss/buzz), you may want to clean it up a bit. The new (free) version 1.3.3. of Audacity (Mac/Win) has much improved noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.

~A Friend, Victoria Enjoy adventure, suspense, and romance?Claim a chapter in The Scarlet Pimpernel! L.M. Montgomery fan? help read Rilla of Ingleside. I will be on vacation from Oct. 10-19, and will have no access to the internet.
Wow, you are fast, Victoria! Let me Get oriented and hopefully I'll be back soon with your Magic Window!
Unless I'm just missing it...what is your target date for this project to finish up? Could you please add What target date you want this finished by, please?
So you're all set up for this project. If we have fast recorders, please know, I need to get my folder setup on the Uploader, but that should happen quickly. We'll hang out here a couple days or so to see if we get a DPL. It looks to me like you've BC-Ed before. If that's not the case, let me know and I can send you BC instructions.
If you can finish putting in the chapter titles in the Magic Window, that would help me when time comes to catalog this project. I've started you out with the 1st five. I'll pick out a chapter to read...
I look forward to working together with you on this project.
Great! I'll get the chapter titles and wordcounts into the MW ASAP! I'm afraid I'll be busy most of today...
I didn't know where to put the target date...could you point out where I should add it please?
Thanks so much! I also look forward to working with you.

I was in error to ask you for a target date. We used to have target dates for group and solo projects. It was kindly pointed out to me that a target date is no longer necessary for group projects. Thanks for your patience with me...
No worries. I hope to get to the MW this afternoon...I should've looked forward a little before posting the project...
Thanks.
