Nope! Just do the usual awesome reading is all

That post is about an abandoned solo that had files recorded. In an effort to not lose them, we came up with putting them in the Books No Longer in Progress thread to see if someone else will pick it up and do a collaborative of the book. So don't worry, it need not be bunched together with your solo.

And I'd be oh so delighted to MC you Karen! I'll add my initials and try to get your Magic Window set up tonight sometime -- gotta serve dinner now :)

Okey-doke! You're all set. I pasted in a few of the chapter titles to get you started.

One thing -- please use Arabic, not Roman, numerals in filenames AND id3 tags. I changed your example tags to reflect this :)

Happy reading! And happy listening, Anna :)

Ah! Glad to see you're picking this up. I bet you'll complete the project.

My soloist had recorded chapters 1 and 2, if you'd wanted to to this as a collaborative project. That's what the notice was about.

Ah, ok... I've changed the tags on the chapter I've finished, and I'll keep it in mind for the rest.

I read the first two chapters last night, so I won't need them, thanks.
