Christopher Williams (thewrongwriter) | 29 comments A novel idea, Phillip!

I write for businesses and websites by day. You'd call it content creation, content development, digital marketing, or content marketing. Makes me familiar with marketing tactics, human psychology, Web technology, and so forth.

I blog about remote working, for fun. Will link to blog if requested.

My personal research topics...too many to list. I'll limit it to building computers, the paranormal, scientific research (particularly energy research), and cosmology.

In younger days I spent a lot of time doing online text-based RPGs. This involved a lot of writing, but also a lot of strategy, imagination, and interpersonal dynamics with other players.

Thank you! Stands out nicely.

Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 560 comments I'm afraid I'm a Jack-of-all Trades, Master-of-Very-Little-of-Any-Use but if anyone needs help on something and puts it out here, I'd love to help if I can.

Haru Ichiban | 255 comments Haha, I'm glad our chat served as inspiration, Phillip! This is a very good thread, but I rarely check this section, so I found it late. I'll be sure to check here when I need a certain expert on something :)

My own expertise (I'll be glad to help anyone who requires knowledge in these areas):

11 years of physiotherapy and kinesiology practice, mostly focused in traumatology, rehabilitation and keeping disabled individuals as functional as possible.

Fluent in English, Spanish and Japanese.

Art skills, with specially developed ones about color. I would have wanted to help everyone that asks for cover help, but after getting some indifference at my critiques I started questioning this. Covers are aimed at common people with common art knowledge; who is gonna care that they should be using warm white but employed cool one? Or Autumn brown when they should be using Spring's? Or that certain color doesn't match certain lines? Do they even know what I mean? But if you want this degree of specialization, I'll gladly help.

Basic knowledge of 3D animation.

Knowledge of astrology, Feng Shui, stones, mythology, angels, demons, etc.

Knowledge of psychology, both from college and as a side endeavor.

South American and Japanese culture.

Manga and anime.

Videogames.

Basic website design.

I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones off the top of my head.
