No rush on 24 - as long as it's in by the two-month deadline, it's all good!

Phew - took longer than ideal, but finally uploaded and ready for a PL!

You're in well before the deadline, so it's all good! Thank you for chapter 20! It's very nicely done, and I enjoyed your clear reading style. I have just a few notes:

- At 3:36, "He thought of Ilse Dumont," you say "He thought of Elise Dumont"
- At 4:07, "All around him along the deck passengers were promenading," you say "All around him the deck passengers were promenading"
- At 7:11, "to avoid contact," you say "to avoid conflict"
- At 9:59, "You have had both power and provocation to make my voyage on this ship embarrassing," you say "You have had both power and provocation to make my voyage on this trip embarrassing"
- At 18:05, "long since grouped into two formidable alliances radically hostile to one another," you say "long grouped into two formidable alliances radically hostile to one another"

Can I claim Chapter 13? Thanks!

[Scarbo]

Can I claim Chapter 13? Thanks!

Certainly! Thank you for claiming! Before you start recording, I'd strongly recommend completing a 1-minute test so that your recording software setup can be checked.

I also want to mention that at over 6,700 words, this chapter will be pretty long, possibly close to an hour depending on your reading pace. It might be a good idea to record your other claim first so that you can get a feel for the recording and editing process before diving into a longer recording.

If you have questions about anything, I'll be happy to help!

Chapter 24 is all yours - thank you for claiming! If I remember correctly, this one should probably give you a little break from "Scheherazade."

I need to request an extension, please. I have Covid and currently sound not unlike a frog...

Certainly! I hope you feel better soon.

Doing better, the cough is almost gone. I will have it finished in a couple weeks. The more I speak, the more I cough so....

No worries, take your time! I got sick last year and it felt like ages until I was back in voice again. I'm glad to hear you're doing better.

Chapter 24 is done. Gangster voices are fun.

Thank you for chapter 24! I enjoyed listening to your gangster voices. I have just a few PL notes:

- At 2:50, "Neeland listened to the fluent information on his own account," I hear "Neeland listened to the fluid information on his own account"
- At 5:04, could you edit out the first take of "the nameless grace of Mart, Haffner and Sharx marked the tailoring"?
- At 9:58, "'I get him,' said Stull, sourly," I hear "'I get him,' said Stud, sourly"
- At 12:56, "and squinting thoughtfully at the smoke eddying in the draught from the open window," I hear "and spitting thoughtfully at the smoke eddying in the draught from the open window"
- At the very end, could you shorten the silence to about 5 seconds?

I'm doing NaNoWriMo, so I can't pick anything up until December, but if there are still chapters then, I'll be back!
