So, would anybody be interested in... · 5:29am Nov 30th, 2014
... A story consultant?
I've got no particular chops as a writer - I've noodled out a few unsuccessful fragments that I consider unworthy of seeing the light of day, and I'm not even remotely trying to present myself as an editor or proofreader. (Axiom for myself: "Until and unless I'm able to develop an idea into a halfway-decent story, and am in in a position to expend the enormous amount of time, energy, and effort to learn how to do that, I'm not going to post the half-assed attempts I rattle off in my limited spare time. There are enough crapfics out there that I don't need to put out another one...")
BUT: I've a pretty broad range of experience, with education and training in fields that aren't widely known to the general public. I've been an ordnance technician and a tank crewman. I've worked Central Booking on Saturday Night. I'm a forensic scientist, and I hold internationally-recognized certification in my particular discipline of concentration. I know which end of the gun the bang comes out of, and I even know which end of the bow goes on the strings of the violin and when (thanks to a mother who valued music lessons and teachers who went beyond providing bands for pep rallies!)
So, umm, I guess that what I'm offering is this: Fandom has Loved and Tolerated (tm) me quite generously. I feel obliged to pay Fandom back for the kindness. So, if anybrony wants a Subject Matter Expert, I'm available.... Contact me with your problem, and I'll give you my best answer...
If any of that ever comes up, I'll be trying to remember this post
