They must solve a mystery and save England, with the help of a Boy Scout they meet along the way, Jack Young. (Kangaroo692)
  • Text source (only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5707
  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record 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!

OK, your MW is ready for you!

Here are the instructions for getting into the workflow system for the MW for the first time. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kVj409nG_E0XJ5UrrcL7EVx7Qyx-2UQ7dbw4mINi3XQ/edit

Please make sure you get access right away, because you are the person who gets to fill in the section titles of your MW and to paste the uploader links into the right spot. Let me know if you have any problems.

We will wait a day or two to see if a DPL will pop in!

I think the disclaimer is wrong:
"Chapter [number] of The Boy Scout Aviators. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say:
"The Boy Scout Aviators, by George Durston. [Chapter]"]
Shouldn't it say this?: (since some of the chapters are split into two parts?)

"Section [number] of The Boy Scout Aviators. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
Say:
"The Boy Scout Aviators by George Durston [Section]"

Did I do something wrong in the Project Template Generator?

Hey there Kangaroo!

Wow, what a wonderful book choice! This will be a fun adventure!
So, for the Chapter/Section intro thing. I would suggest you do the recording exactly like you did in Chapter 1. So you'll always say in the recording "Chapter #, Part # (if there is a part)" that way the readers will know what chapter they are listening to! So great call! :thumbs:

I did want to mention that because you'll be doing this the numbers in the magic window will not correspond with the Chapter numbers. So for example, when you get down to Section 4. That's only Chapter 2, so when you do the boyscoutaviators_04_durston_128kb you'll need to make it 04 so it goes in order. Looks like you've already done that, so that's perfect! :clap:

The PL notes for Chapter 1 are here:

@ 10:03 "thats why your here isn't it?" repeat
@ 7:44 "as we have been ready f before" slight flub on the before I hear an extra "f"

And that's it! Great job just fix these two things, and this chapter will be ready to go!

Thanks for all your hard work!
~Kim
