Section 7 - A Vow

10.31
Have you noticed how the men in these legendary tales are always ready to sacrifice their womenfolk but never their menfolk, i.e. their sons

hey Scott ! so cool to have you read for the Rover thank you so much, this is making us fully claimed now.
Moving this project over to Readers Found and I will probably start the next issue later today.
@Alan and Jim: I have not forgotten your files...will PL today !

I know what you mean with AiW... the pipe-smoking men and the very strange discussion sounds a bit psychedelic. A strange choice for the magazine. I wonder who wrote that story. It's annoying the editors don't give appropriate credit to the authorsneecheelok70 wrote: ↑May 12th, 2021, 11:58 amHere is Section 2--I was reminded a bit of Alice in Wonderland:

All PL ok, Jim, thanks
Sonia
to be fair I think in this story the chief didn't have a son. But still....this vow was despicable under any circumstances.alanmapstone wrote: ↑May 13th, 2021, 3:14 amSection 7 - A Vow

Update: sorry...I forgot I had found a few small issues to correct.
> at 2:52: (p. 192) repeat "and all that remained of the great and noble collected around him and spoke thus" – one version can be cut
> at the end: you need to insert the final book disclaimer as well, since you have the last section: "End of The Rover Volume 1 Number 12, edited by Seba Smith and Lawrence Labree"
And as promised...the next issue is up and ready !

I have been having some tech issues; I think they are ironed out now but if you hear anything weird like a delay/echo in some parts, let me know

wow this was a long section, and you narrated it brilliantly and dramatically. And no, I didn't hear any tech issues or strange audio-echos. All sounds well to my ear.iBeScotty wrote: ↑May 14th, 2021, 10:09 pmHere is section 3

I got curious and had to look up the original poem, and they nearly copied it word-by-word, only in prose lines, instead of the original which looks like a poem: https://archive.org/details/poeticalworksofb02corn/page/n15/mode/2up very interesting how different it can sound just by making the text lay-out differently.
I found a couple of things to correct though:
> from 7:16 to 7:19: (p. 183) between "the fond Isabel" and "dark eyes Guido": the pause of over 2 seconds felt a bit long for me...I would cut down to under 2 seconds here. I think 1.5 maximum is enough, even between paragraphs.
> at 17:27: (p. 184) "of the piny boughs" – you say "bows" (like "bow and arrow") this is "bough" (rhyming on "now") if I am not mistaken. I think it changes the meaning a bit
Thanks !

thank you, Alan, and this is also not PL okalanmapstone wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 3:21 amsection 7 revised

Thank you thank you
Corrected the file:
7:16 shortened tastelessly overdramatic pause (don’t usually like chopping up inhales but took a long gulp here for some reason)
17:22 changed weird ‘piny beaus’ to appropriate ‘piny boughs’ by replacing phrase starting here, “until...”
Should be same file name, new length 28:51

now that made my day ! I wouldn't have put it that harshly, but yes...it is much better now that it's shorter.iBeScotty wrote:tastelessly overdramatic pause
When I encounter such long silences in a text it feels to me as if I am holding my breath until the story restarts and depending how long that silence stretches, it really gets uncomfortable.
Now PL ok, thanks. I hope to hear you in one of the future Rovers again.

Excellent work, Sonia. It is PL OK, of course. But how did Mary die? Is the mention that she has been faithful serve as a deflection, so that when we discover she is dead, it is even sadder? Also, his handling of the corpse is a bit gruesome. Maybe these things help make Phillip's total collapse more convincing. I enjoyed it. Jim
