What is the Watercooler?
It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.
All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

More random fun for all ze everyone.
Q: If you could ask the Podcast Genies for three wishes, what would you ask them?
Note: You cannot ask for more wishes, to kill anyone, or make someone fall in love with you or anyone else. Got it? Gewd.

Hey y'all, what's up?
So it's always been my impression that we have a ton of very chatty types over here at the Watercooler with quick fingers over the keys and whatnot. So, I figured here'd be as good a place as any to mention this.
A few days ago I put out a small note on people who'd be willing to be editors and beta readers for the Fan Word submissions here at the site. Y'know, kinda like a list of peers that aspiring writers can go to and choose from for help with their works, be they essays, features, or fanfics.
Well, so far we have seven volunteers (eight, including myself) and I've got 'em all on an ugly-lookin' World post:

If this thing actually turns out to be useful for some people, I might need to make a better looking post. But for 4am, this is what you get, I guess . . . likewise, the name ain't all too special either (if that even counts as a name) . . . but yeah, we'll worry about that after our list gets useful.
If anyone wants to be added to the list, I can accommodate that; otherwise, just get some word out that aspiring writer padawans can now have some unofficial guidance if they so wish it.
Heh . . . here's hoping this actually does help at least someone . . . cheers.

I found this while perusing the WoW forums. It's specifically for WoW, but the first couple of categories can really be attributed to any kind of RP thing. Decided to post this here after taking Miss Anonymous' cool survey (Below VVV) and her asking if we've role played before.
Take the fun survey here and let us know what you got!
I got a 1. My character's a boring, and lives with his mother in the desert.
This can also be applied to fanfiction.
