Thursday: Weekly Writer’s Assistance
While imzy is still missing the functionality of displaying when a post has new comments, we’re offering the writing assistance thread now on a weekly basis!
Need help with creating the atmosphere for that sleazy bar Tony likes to hang out in? What would a college student in the 1980s spend his money on? Looking for someone to help beta read your fic or just cheer you on? Ask a weird question that now taints your search history (Don’t we all have those? I once spent three hours researching the rent prices in Paris in the early 2000s) but still have not found the answer to? Would you like to share a great resource that you found recently?
Feel free to direct all your questions here, no judgement, no shame :)
