Hi Barbara,

I've had a stonking good editing session, but this has cleaned out my prerecorded sections so please don't rush. In fact, I think it's probably better if you pace yourself with these.

This batch includes the word 'fleshbag' (section 42). Who knew that poetry could reach such heights ...

Three short ones for a rainy Friday night:

Thank you Victor!

And thank you, Barbara, for showing up. It's going to be a wild ride. I've sent you a PM with the MW password - just let me know if it doesn't come through.

I'm actually rather fond of McGonagall. I can't think of anybody else with the nerve to put 'Your cow must die!' into a ...

Hi Hokuspokus,

The awful poetry might have a DPL! Barbara2 has expressed interest on the Librivox thread, so if she swings by here, could you please validate her account, or add her, or whatever might be required on the official admin side of things?

Five to start the week:

It's been a slow few days on the McKittrick Ros front, but here goes:

Ha ha, 'different' is one way of putting it!

Thanks again. I've posted a notice on LV, so we'll see who else takes the bait! I did wonder if this would have to be done by a series of PLs who could only take so much. The next book will be better, promise!

Thank you, Julia! You're a brave soul, and that's eight minutes of awful poetry that somebody else won't have to suffer through!

Hokus, I'll post on LV shortly. I hadn't yet as it's taken me such a time to get going on the book. The DPLs I've worked with live in the US or I'd have asked them, but I ...

A couple more. There are some real corkers in this batch.

https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/9sNqJ7Y8/fumesofformation_03_ros.mp3 (2.01)
https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/9sNqJ7Y8/fumesofformation_05_ros.mp3 ...

Sections 6, 9, 10, 13, 16 and 17 are ready, so any prospective PLer can see what they're letting themselves in for. I'm moving quite slowly, but at least this is moving now.

You're most welcome! It was fun, and it'll be good listening for this time of year. I'll come back and check out your cover, too. Happy holidays!

Aaaaaand it's PL OK!

My pc is also sorting all the chapters as part of the same book, so that looks okay, too. Congrats!

Oooooooh, I guessed some, but not all, of that. PL OK.

Don't do it, bishop, you fool!

17 and 18 PL OK.

If you ever have the chance to watch Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, you might like it. It's set in the Melbourne in the 1920s, and has some of the glamour of this book. The title character drives too fast, picks up the most attractive blokes in town ...

PL OK! Don't leave me hanging!

And 14 and 15 are PL OK! Keep 'em comin'!

12 and 13 are PL OK. Go, Anna, go!

10 and 11 are PL OK.

Not going for the French accent seems fine. I usually reserve those for characters I don't have to sustain for long periods of recording, or for books that have a heightened or melodramatic style or something like that (a villainous Italian count! a dastardly French conspirator ...
