A good reading, PeeWee, but it looks like you read too much. Everything after 11:29 (beginning with A Gimme for Fair) is actually part of the next section. Edit that out and this will be PL OK.

Oooops! Almost forgot this:

TIME: 06:51 TEXT: "It used to be said of Oliver Goldsmith that he wrote like an angel and talked like a fool. Just the other way with T’eda." COMMENT: This paragraph is missing.

Both Sections 0 and 1 are PL OK as far as reading goes.

Comparing the URLs reveals a mystery of numbering and missing authors.

It's OK to leave the file names are they are. As a part of my cataloging routine, I automatically fix the file names, whether they need it or not. A lot of times I can't see someone the mistakes, this just makes life easier for everyone in the end. But, thank you for letting me know!

PL reports for Sections 9, 10, and 11:

Section 9 - TIME: 00:40 TEXT: "_“The Bull is Mightier Than the Bullet.”_ COMMENT: This phrase is omitted in the recording.

Section 10 - PL OK.

Section 11 - Needs a couple of seconds of silence at the end to make it five seconds.

Other than these needed corrections, it is definitely PL OK.

Thank you Lomond, here is section 9: https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/whizbangv3n25_09_fawcett_128kb.mp3 now 10:18.
I re-read the "WhizBang editorials line" because I think the "The bull..." is a kind of bye-line here, so it makes no sense to me in isolation.

Here's updated section 11: https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/whizbangv3n25_11_fawcett_128kb.mp3, now 4:56

Well, thank you!
I have put you in for these, and with that we are FULL :thumbs:

I better get another issue ready -- depending on how quickly everyone records their sections. :wink:

Thank you!

Please do! I've tried to claim some sections in vol. 2 but I was a bit late. I was overjoyed when I saw vol 3. These little stories and snippets are a lot of fun to read and they are also quite funny.
