Hallo Rachel,

I'm your MC for this project. Will prepare the MW tomorrow, as I am a bit busy today.

Thank you!

MW up and running. I PM you the password.

Happy recording!

Thank you!

Chapter 1 is in the window: http://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/p ... potter.mp3

Oh, the text source link in the magic window doesn't work. It is missing the last few digits

I uploaded two more chapters.

Two more chapters in the Magic Window...

Text link fixed. Thank you.

I'll DPL for you, if you like

Thanks! Will PM you the password

Excellent!
So we can move to Readers Found.

Julia, I am taking a short break from recording for this project to work on my LV solo, but I think I have enough chapters up to keep you busy

PL notes:

Section 1:
~4:07 long pause after 'presently'
~6:49 stumble 'fish...boxes'

Section 2:
~3:44 "Could you manage..." Repeated 3x
~5:32 stumble 'petty..."
~6:50 longish pause

Section 3:
~4:00 repeat 'so, you're going all alone?'
~4:05-4:10 strange noises
~7:26 stumble 'a cloud of...'

Section 4:
PL:OK

Section 5:
~5:58 repeat 'do not try to carry...'

You are fast!

I had a bit of time [while waiting for my cats to decide to go back to sleep - which they still haven't ]

All sections are fixed

Noooo, not the Strange Noises!!! I was hitting the microphone to mark the repeat that came right before, and I guess I missed it in editing

Oh, yeah I know what it's like to have cats that won't go to sleep

I have read enough of the story now to right an okay summary, but no use adding it to the MW yet because it will probably end up being revised

Cover art!
