IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded 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).

Please don't download or listen to 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!

It'd be great if you could, mate! And your name is pretty much perfect for this too, if you catch my drift 😉

Also, this is my first audiobook on here in a while, so I'm gonna be steadily grasping the ropes again

I spent my teenage years known as "Pooh," so yes, I sure do.

Feel free to ask me questions if you have any.

Cheers,

Oh wow, hope that wasn't annoying for you XD

But yeah, I guess the only thing I can ask is how long does it usually take to assign an MC and get the Magic Window sorted? It's been so long since I've done a solo project that I've all but forgotten...

I've been waiting to do this book ever since i finished up the first Winnie The Pooh book two years ago, they're just so enjoyable to read!

Not annoying at all. I embraced it. I love the books too. Read them to my son when he was little, and did voices for all the characters. (I do a great Eeyore!)

The time it takes to get an MC varies. If there are very few other projects starting up, it can happen within hours, but it’s usually more like a day or two. Right now there are quite a few new projects starting up because of new public domain titles, so it may take a bit more time. It all depends on their having room in their schedules. We’ll just have to sit tight and be patient, I think.

Cheers,
Winnifred

All set up! I don't do a lot of this so I may have missed something. If you see something odd, let me know. Any questions, please ask.

Have fun! :)

Sounds good. Are you going to put the chapter titles into the Magic Window?

I'll be ready!

Cheers,
Winnifred

Yes, I'll try and put them in tonight.

Sorry I've been slow, I've not been feeling my best this week. Lots of things getting me down. I'll get onto this ASAP though!

Sorry to hear that. No pressure. Maybe some Winnie-the-Pooh might cheer you up?

Cheers,
