The Expert List

Leja · 2007-12-21T01:25:12Z

PLEASE NOTE: At this time, the Expert List is no longer listing experts. This is an awesome list, but until there is some evidence of it being used, expanding it won't do much good. Thank you to all who have volunteered their knowledge, and if you have successfully utilized the Expert List recently, please leave a note below. What is an Expert List? An Expert List is a list of topics on which a YWS member is an expert. If you have a question, contact the appropriate member and I'm sure they'll be happy to help! Are you an expert on something? Be listed as one! Maybe you know the dynamics (pun totally, shamelessly intended) of an orchestra inside and out? Maybe you know the schematics of a swingset like the back of your hand? If you'd like to help out your fellow YWS-ers and be listed as an expert, PM me with your name and what you're exceptionally knowledgeable about, and I'll add you to the list! Questions? Ask them in the space below or PM me and I'll be happy to answer them!

She's not on the site much (that I've seen, so she may not realize this list exists) but Zoey has called upon my geekiness with the Rev. War since she's writing - I think - a novel about or it's beginning to stem into that direction on the subject. The setting from the excerpts takes place smack dab in the war itself. Now, which battles Zoey will take on, that's the question.

Just thought I'd drop in and say the list isn't rotting.

The sadness drains through me rather than skating over my skin. It travels through every cell to reach the ground. I filter it yet strangely enough, I keep what was pure and it is the dirt that leaves.

I am fairly sure (I did clean out my inbox 3 times since i got the reply so the pm is literally gone but only after i copied the info) VampX13 was a great help on vampires.
Though they're mythical and he more or less managed to snap me into actually getting off my butt and creating my own vamp.

He was quite helpful!

I know a lot about Australian animals, how Australian society works, what we think about other countries etc? I'm also quite good at logical thinking like what does and doesn't make sense, whether it's believeable, because I know many Misc. facts. I know insects and am more than willing to get more information that I don't have. My weapons knowledge is alright, Middle Ages and modern. Does that count?

{Follow up with mention of worth-while activity that betters the YWS community}

{Insert link to activity}

{Insert well-humoured internet bribery to entice viewers to join in the activity}
