Do you still want to register the project or would you rather choose something else?

I have nothing against it. I just wanted to point it out to you.
Unfortunately, I can't serve as MC, because I already manage a lot of projects.

Greetings, Bernd

Ok!
Understandable...

I'll MC this.

I would not recommend word-perfect PL. That's more meant for the Bible, other sacred writings, or other works where every word really needs to be right. You'll limit your readers and DPL possibilities if you go with such strict PL.

If you want something more than standard, you can use Special and then note what else you want. (I usually use Special and put something like, "Standard, plus any deviations from the text where a listener goes, 'Huh? Is that right?' PL does not need to read along with the text.")

Speaking of, do you have a DPL lined up? I assume not, but wanted to check.

One other note: In the intro wording in the first post, please change "Section (or Chapter) #" to be either section or chapter, so your readers know which to say. (If you're splitting up any chapters, I suggest using "section". If it's one chapter per section throughout, so the section and chapter numbers are always the same, then you can to with "chapter".)

Thank you!

Alright! I'll put the titles in soon!
