There is nothing that I dislike more than not knowing how to do something. Like tying my shoes. For years (and I was a slow learner so we are truly talking years), I had to wear velcro shoes because I couldn't tie my own shoe laces. It was horrid. And then one day, a nice person finally showed me something that clicked and VOILA! I could get shoes with laces again!
This community seems to have become a sort of gateway into LJ from the larger interwebz around us and there are things that some of us take for granted because we've been here a really long time. At one time, we didn't know how to do certain things. None of us is born with this knowledge in our brains. It doesn't happen overnight. Unfortunately, it needs to be learned.
So I've decided to make a post where questions can be asked (anon or not) and answered. Not necessarily by me but by EVERYONE in this cool bar! If you see a question that you have an answer to, please feel free to answer it! We are a surprisingly intelligent group of people when you come right down to it!
This is a place for all the questions that have ever kept you up at night! They can be related to canon (How old is Natasha? What is her real hair color? What is that specific line from the movie that I want to use in fic but can't because I know I'm not getting it right.) or fandom (What came first - Harry Potter or Star Trek? If I want to make a Clint cosplay costume, should I have sleeves or no sleeves?) or technical (How do I make an LJ cut? What is the correct story header to use for most every community? Where are good places to post my fic?) or anything else that hits you.
Come here to ask questions. Come here to answer questions.
To help everyone's brains out, if you are asking a question, please put QUESTION in the subject line. Conversely, if you are offering up an answer, please put ANSWER in the subject line. Clear as mud?
questions,
