Make an audiobook, get an audiobook science fiction challenge

Rick sez, "SFFaudio has just announced their 4th Annual Make an Audiobook, Get an Audiobook Challenge. They have twenty Science Fiction and Fantasy titles of public domain and Creative Commons novels that they'd like to see freely available as audiobooks on the internet. They're looking for participants to commit to recording and editing the sound files and then making them available online. At that point they will get to choose a free audiobook for a prize. But the real prize is the satisfaction of creating a creative work that can be shared with all. Previous SFFaudio Challenges have generated some great audiobooks of classic and obscure titles that would otherwise be unavailable in audio. This year's challenges has a variety of authors including Jack London, Mack Reynolds, James E. Gunn and many others."

I have laryngitis. Can't talk.
Can I just mumble, gurgle and groan?

My southern drawl would turn a riveting tale into a farce.

Very interesting to a frustrated actor like myself, and I do have quite decent audio hardware/software. My voice is a bit scratchy right now, but... Hmmm.

Is there a link to a site where the guidelines and books are listed? My Internet connection blocks Internet radio because of lack of bandwidth.

Arghhh,if I only had the time! I DREAM of doing old -time radio shows constantly. Dammit Dammit Dammit!!!! Well, maybe next year. Also. Ford M. Ford and Conrad collaborated on a story together? Did not know.

Thanks, Cory! This project looks wonderful. I signed up and successfully claimed one of the stories - I look forward to sharing "Sweet Their Blood And Sticky" later in November.

This looks good. I know that the folks over at newfiction.com always are looking for stories to make free audiobooks out of. I wonder if they are linked?
