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.

Rest in Peace, Light Yagami

Today is the day that Light Yagami died in the Death Note universe. With regards to that, here are his last moments to the tune of "Yesterday" by The Beatles.

Other tributes in the site can be seen through these four theOtaku cards, these two fanarts, and this invitation for a eulogy to Light. You can also view this other great AMV to the tune of "Sound of Silence".

Rest in peace, Light Yagami.

Help Needed... Please help if you can...

Hello everyone… Long time no see…

I am here today to ask for a little help for a fellow Otaku. Dyanaanime needs a word translated from English to Japanese.

She does not have guest posting privileges in the Watercooler yet. So I thought I would help her out and see if anyone here could help her out with this. She has tried translators on the net and it is not working for her.

So any help you could give in this would be awesome…

Thank you so much for your help and the word we need is ‘Blood King’.

Thanks again,
Kitabug69 and Dyanaanime

Writer Support, Go!

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.
