I migrated over from Wikipedia due to my interest in, amongst other things, pulp magazines and the pulp fiction that appeared in them. Of my interests, the author Robert E. Howard is the one most applicable to Wikisource.

[edit] Sample additions

These public domain poems by Robert E. Howard:

• The Song of the Bats
• The Gates of Ninevah‎
• The Harp of Alfred‎
• Dead Man's Hate‎

Non-Howard additions include:

• Bulldog Drummond - the first of a series of books by "Sapper" featuring the title character. All now in the public domain.
• The Spider Strikes - the first of the Spider novels from the pulp magazine The Spider. Most of these stories are still under copyright but the first twelve isses were not renewed in time and are now within the public domain.

[edit] Audio files

I have experimented in adding spoken word versions of some texts. This started with adding the chapters of Red Shadows from Librivox. The actual recordings are on Wikimedia Commons. I have continued this for all files I can find for Robert E. Howard and I have started adding files for his correspondant H. P. Lovecraft.

I started marking the appropriate texts with the symbol on their author pages. After mentioning this on Scriptorium, Billinghurst created the template {{Spoken}} as a key. Since then, I have been adding this template, and the symbol, to the authors, and their works, that also have attached audio files. I'm not done yet, however, and this might take a while to finish.

I intend to add more Librivox audio files as time and my ISP's download limit allow.

[edit] DjVu experiment

As a personal test of using scanned books and DjVu files, I'm working on Index:BulldogDrummondSapper.djvu. I downloaded the file from the Internet Archive and now I am working on it here to see how these things function.
