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.
