Have added on 'by F Scott Fitzgerald' at the end of each story as the Setup Instructions on p.1 say. Why do the simple things take so long?!
Thanks,
Adrian

Ha! Yes, it's those simple fixes that get buggers!

Your edits sounds nice on those, though.

Section 3 is well-recorded - weird story. She should kick him to the curb. The track has 5 seconds of silence up front.

I've started #4 Absolution. I could do with some of that. I've fixed the 5 seconds at the start of #3 too. #4 Absolution coming up soon

Hello, Adrian :)

Section 3 is PL OK now :thumbs:

I've put a Note on Absolution, which has no silence up front. End silence is good, and the recording is great. I'm guessing Fitzgerald had no real respect for Catholicism despite it being deeply imbued within him. :lol:

I have Rags... on my queue.

Hi Lynette, hope you are well and that this isn't going to be too much of a shock... but I've read another story :) Hope it's okay. If not you'll tell me what I've done wrong.

Another one that made me well-up, curses! Let me know if it's ok. Might be a bit gappy. https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/ ... gerald.mp3

Hi, Adrian!

I can't get access to the MW - when I try to log in, it says, "No Access" and a couple things about try again later or contact admin.

On story #6 (The Sensible Thing), there are a couple long pauses in the stretch from 0:45 to 1:45. Otherwise, it's great.

Hey there - regrettably, every time I try downloading story 07, the file comes up with an empty track.

PL Note for story 08 "Love in the Night":

Great, except for two or three long pauses with mic-bump sounds in the stretch from 0:41-3:00 :)

Since I can't get into the MW to toggle any of these files from today's PL'ing, here is a recap of everything that should currently be there:

Section 4 "Absolution" - PL OK :ugeek:

Section 6 "The Sensible Thing" - See PL Note: long pauses in the stretch from 0:45-1:45; otherwise very nice

Section 7 "The Baby Party" - See PL Note: the track comes up as a 27-second silent line, despite multiple download attempts.

Section 8 "Love in the Night" - See PL Note: long pauses in the stretch from 0:41-3:00; otherwise very nice


You read these short stories very nicely, Adrian

While reading another story I noticed you'd replied to me Lynette on 17 Sept, so thanks for that & I'll attend to your comments as soon as I've finished The Rich Boy. Have you emailed Viktor about the MW issue (try [url]mailto:viktor@steckenpferde.de[/url])? I'm glad you are okay & I really appreciate you saying I read the stories nicely. Imagine I'm a white purring cat right now :D
Thanks,

Hi Lynette, My latest completed story The Rich Boy is 1 hour 27 minutes long. Do you have any advice as Checker said it was an error as it's too long?
Thanks,
Adrian

I've fixed the issues and uploaded the 1 hour 24 minute Chapter 9 The Rich Boy. I split it in two and then realised I would have to rewrite the Magic Window and as the same issue might occur again (long long story) I didn't want to do that. So it's there as it is. At least it will be when it's finished uploading :D https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/ ... gerald.mp3
Thanks,
Adrian
