Replace '''all the items in bold as applicable''' (not just the information in the "temporary paragraph"!!). Leave remaining info for the MC to edit. Please make sure you include all information required in the temporary paragraph.

If we don't hear from you for three months, your project will be opened up to a group project as soon as a Book Coordinator can be found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to have it re-instated).
