Take care,

PL OK. Thank you, Greg.

Thank you both!

And with that, it is time to edit...

[Inkell]

Update! I have just finished assembling it together, it's definitely not done as it needs fine tuning but I thought I would double check the length. It is current 54 minutes and 10 seconds long (and note: it will definitely get shorter with fine tuning as the silences between lines get cut down) but I definitely will not need to split it, right? It shouldn't get any longer than this (unless I screwed up majorly somewhere) and even this is within the limit which I believe is an hour and 12 minutes

[redrun]

Alright! Yes, there should be no need to split.

[Inkell]

Alright! Yes, there should be no need to split.

That's great, thanks redrun! And here it is, The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier-

Alright! Any volunteers to PL?

Shouldn't Brian still be able to PL it? It's only the editor (which was me) who is negated from being able to PL the completed file as far as I know, unless it is different for DRs than plays because I'm pretty sure I see DPLs have roles and still do the final PL for plays all the time, as long as someone else did the PL of their part before editing (which was the case, brownrottger kindly PL'd his file)

I think that Brian should be able to PL but then I have more faith in him that I probably ought to. He's disappointed me before, but I'm sure you don't want to hear the sordid details.

[redrun]

Yes, that's right. Brian can PL. I'm sure he won't disappoint.

It takes some getting used to, not being able to hold everything in memory.

PL OK. Loved it! Nicely done on the editing.

I think it a shame that we don't have awards for LV audio books similar to an "Oscar". We'd need a name for an award of course and I propose "Todd". If it were in my power I would nominate this recording for a "Todd" in the categories of Scene or Story coordination, editing, casting and some others perhaps. Definitely an all-star cast (except for the guy who played Godfrey)! They all deserve a "Todd" too. But you, Inkell, all I can say is, get ready for the 'red carpet'. You're a star.

[redrun]

I'll join the congratulations! I look forward to hearing it!


And I think with the completion of our first story, we're due for a quick recap:

Wogglbug: Open
15 roles open
2 roles ready for PL - BC has been notified
BC's role can optionally be PL'd by anyone

Blanched Soldier: COMPLETE
* Including a formatted cast list.

White Elephants: Full
All roles claimed, only 2 to go

Knight's Move: Full
All roles claimed, only 1 to go

Thanks a lot, Brian, I never doubted you for a second!

I'm glad you liked the editing, it is my first time editing a DR rather than a play so I wasn't sure what to expect. If there were LV "Oscars" I definitely think "Todd" is a good name for them though I dunno about mine being nominated, so far it's the only DR scene finished this year so not much of a category! I'm really surprised how quickly this came together, I'm tempted to do another one because there is one other story Holmes story that he narrates but we'll see.

Anyway a huge thank you to our amazing readers Steve, Beeswaxcandle, GregGiordano, alanmapstone, silverquill, AgnesRobert and lorda, a double huge thank you to BrianFullen for being both a reader and the fastest DPL in the west, another huge thank you to brownrottger for coming in for a PL and a final thank you to redrun for your MCing and MW management. Pleasure working with you all on this project, hope you enjoy the story

If you decide to launch another, Sherlock or not, I will PL if you'll let me.

Thanks, Brian, I'll be happy to have you back as DPL if I do another one
