I will PL all individual files and edit the acts together.
I would need someone to PL the final files for me before going to catalogue.

Hi Michele
I could PL the final edits for you (if I am still around :lol: )

As Shaw never does proper cast lists a list of characters would be helpful for potential readers.

Hi Michele, I'll be glad to be your MC! Back in a bit with your Magic Window!

Update: Magic Window is set up and ready for the act & cast entries. :D
I'll be out for a bit on this last weekend of April, but still checking in as I get the chance. I will try to follow up on Monday, with anything I can't do on the go.

Thank you that would be great. I have been through and worked out the cast members as you say he doesn't put the cast at the top.

Juggins please.

If you don't mind a double-up of roles, then I can use a different voice for any one of the critics as suits.

Hi and thank you for claiming Juggins. As this has only just been launched I am not going to allow double roles unless we get to a point where we are still looking for readers.
