So, why is this page here? Well, this page is here for one reason: there is at least one episode of CDRR which doesn't have a transcript on the RRDatabase Episode Guide! Now, a number of episodes have been supplied by Julie Bihn's Super Gigantic Episode Guide, but still, as of this writing, more episodes don't have transcripts than do! Isn't that sad?

However, it seems that transcripts can be submitted by email to Tanka using the address on her site. I've done two and am doing a third, but I know I can't make up the balance on my own. So I'm asking you fine folk to help!

The purpose of this page is to facilitate the episode selection process, so that there probably won't be two or more people working on a transcript for the same episode. After all, if there are two of you working, you might as well be working on different ones!

Here are a few guidelines:

1. If you claim, send, or relinquish your claim on an episode, tell me so I can update the table. (In this context, "to claim" means "to announce your intention to create a transcript of a particular episode. "To relinquish a claim" means "to announce that you're giving up on creating/finishing a transcript".)
2. If you have access to episodes that aren't on volumes one or two (preferably from a legitimate source), try to do those first and leave the rest to those of us who only have volume one and two episodes.
3. Claim only one episode at a time. If you wish to claim another episode without finishing the one you started, relinquish that episode first. Ideally, however, relinquishing should only be done if you can't do any episodes.
4. Although a template is provided by me (Save link however your computer does that), I don't care what you start with; what you should be sending Tanka is an HTML file. Some basic knowledge of HTML is a plus.
5. Turn subtitles on, if possible. These are a great help for dialogue.
6. Some appropriate humor in your descriptions and comments is good. There's no harm, however, in a transcript that just does what it's supposed to, and no more.
7. A long time ago, I learned that the i, em, and cite tags, while they look like they have the same effect on your monitor, they actually do different things, such as when a screen reader runs into them. It's something to consider.
8. Try to spell well and have good grammar. Mistakes are forgivable, but transcripts shouldn't be riddled with errors.
9. The filename of the transcript should be the # followed by _transcript.html.
