I can't believe how fast that was! Thank you ever so much. The cover is perfect!
Erin

Ah, yes. It's that feeling of just sending chapters out into the void. Recording generally feels like that, but especially so when you're recording something without a DPL.

Upload at your leisure. I'm sure you have various projects on the go.

Hello Anna,

I held off replying in this thread as I away for most of September, but I'm back in the saddle now. Do you still stand in need of a DPL?
Erin

But wait! There were two more: Barbara, I'm sorry, but I laughed when I read this. Recording this book has meant with every session the ineluctable thought 'o god, there's more'. I'm late saying this, but thank you very much indeed! You're the only soul valiant enough, on Librivox or Legamus, to ta...

You've been busy! Thank you!

I would say it's all downhill from here, but that can be taken in more than one way.
Erin

Very good!

The DPL is so fast,
Despite at the grammar being aghast;
Wonders she -- how long this fine book will last?
Shuts she down her pc and enjoys her repast.

My effort's poor, but the punctuation really is that idiosyncratic.
Erin

You have no idea. I've had more outtakes with this project than I normally do for poetry. Normal verse read incorrectly sounds or feels wrong immediately at least some of the time, but even when this is word perfect it sounds and feels completely off.

Thank you very much!

No worries about the MW. And honestly, anything I can do to ease the discomfort occasioned by this is fine!
Erin

She is indeed shocking.

I've learned that I'll be away for most of next month, so I'll address any PL notes when I'm back. If you'd like a postcard, please feel free to PM me your address. It's the least I can do after spamming you with this appalling verse.

Another small batch with more of the 'you'll be sorry when I'm dead' school of poetry. https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/jJR2RCX_/fumesofformation_19_ros.mp3 (2.17) https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/jJR2RCX_/fumesofformation_22_ros.mp3 (2.09) https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/jJR2RCX_...

In which we learn, with no discernible irony, that McKittrick Ros's favourite flower was the narcissus.

I'm taking small bites myself. Sections 2 and 11 are PL OK. I think Section 11 has been my favorite so far - laugh out loud at times. Best, Barbara Thank you very much! I don't blame you for pacing yourself. I launched a very short poetry solo on Librivox earlier than intended because I couldn't ta...

I'm on a roll, but I think I've had all the McKittrick Ros I can possibly stomach for a little while. https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/xx-wi7hJ/fumesofformation_33_ros.mp3 (2.08) https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/xx-wi7hJ/fumesofformation_34_ros.mp3 (3.00) https://upload.legamus.eu/simple...

Hello Barbara, Another short batch for whenever you've got the stamina. https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/CaKjik0r/fumesofformation_02_ros.mp3 (2.04) https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/CaKjik0r/fumesofformation_11_ros.mp3 (1.52) https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/CaKjik0r/fumesofformati...

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? htt...

Three short ones for a rainy Friday night:

This week's batch, including some dodgy gender politics: https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/Bm8sR989/fumesofformation_39_ros.mp3 (0.47) https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/Bm8sR989/fumesofformation_40_ros.mp3 (0.40) https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/Bm8sR989/fumesofformation_41_ros.mp3 (...

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 poem....

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?
