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 or two 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!

Hi Nick! This project has the [SOLO] indication, which means that the person who posted it, intend to read it solo themselves. But you can still contribute to this project by proof-listening, if this is something you'd like to try your hand at, or more accurately, your ear :D

Hi Nick,

Yes, I'll be reading the entire project. But I'd welcome your assistance as a DPL, if that's something you might be interested in. No pressure. :)

Hi Betsy,

Yes, still looking for a DPL, and I'd be happy to have you join the project. I'm in the process of editing the first chapter, so it will be about a week before it's ready.

Thank you!

FYI,

Project still active, but I've gotten a slow start. First story recorded (one of the largest of the eleven), and is currently in editing. Should have it completed in the next week or two.

Thank you for your patience,
