YEAH! There are many completed projects in Listeners wanted. If we clean them up, we are so much ahead of the game for March. Very Happy

And I've just signed up for a chapter of At the Back of the North Wind (done)
And I need to edit my Abraham Lincoln's Inauguration article (done)

Along with continuing work on Scarlet Pimpernel (done) and some proof-listening

Ooo, March Madness is exciting! I have one chapter left to do for Wives and Daughters, but that was due in March anyway, so it feels kind of like cheating. I haven't even started my solo project yet, so that won't get done this month, but I'm going to keep an eye on other projects that need a final chapter or two recorded and volunteer my services. PM me if you really need a final reader on your project!

And don't forget proof-listening too. We can't get the projects completed and catalogued without proofing the chapters! I'm much more of a reader than a listener, but I'm going to make a special effort to do some listening this month. Smile

Alright, my goals may seem useless, but I think it will help.

1. Finish the chapters I've claimed for my BC projects.
2. Maintain more activity in my BC projects to bring up the energy so I can get them done!

I'm not anywhere close to finishing my three solos or the duet, but of course I'll keep plugging away at them, with the duet getting the most attention.

I'm not signed up for any collaborative chapters, so I'll scout around Readers Wanted. I should be able to read again by next weekend, with luck.

I'll also do a lot of proof-listening until my cold is better!

I should be able to finish cataloging Barchester Towers today, and there are two or three solos that should be wrapping up soon.

I added a bunch of AlmostDone projects to the Readers Wanted: Books - final push! sticky and I'll try to keep that up to date as I see things being moved back and forth (fully-subscribed books go to Readers Found ... books with a number of new orphans may come back from Found to Wanted.)

These "final push" sticky threads are definitely going to be a hot place to hang out this month! They appear in every Reading forum, and if people are looking for ideas, they're a great place to start! (Take note, BCs -- good place to promote your AlmostDones.)

Also, I'm going read and EDIT the 10 collaborative sections I'm signed up for, and try not to take on any more until I have. (Unless any more Austen frees up, and then all bets are off.)

Spiffy! I will complete the chapter I signed up for in my own BC project Rewards and Fairies.

And I'll see if there's other stuff close to completion I can help with. Smile

Big print fixed with kayray's help. Thanks kayray! Very Happy

Fix the nested Bold tags so both tags are INSIDE the url tags.

Doesn't make any sense, but it fixed it when I previewed it ;-)
