Hello and welcome to TheKnow Database Round-Up 8! Thank you so much to everyone who’s become a member or watcher, or added to the database since last time.
First up - the database now has an index. It has been submitted as a group journal and also as a personal journal, so it can always be found in the Featured folder in the gallery. Members who have submitted to the database: if there’s anything that’s been missed or anything that you want removed from the index (or if you ever want all links to your scraps removed), let the group know by note. And if anyone notices any links that are wrong or broken, again please let the group know. (Gently and tactfully ^^”)
Here are the latest submissions to the database:
Travel and Home
South Africa: PoisonedOracle’s has lived in South Africa in a small coastal town most of her life and have moved around a lot within the area.
Supernatural: PoisonedOracle has had some “pretty creepy” experiences in several previous homes.
Health
Scoliosis: MarcoEmma has scoliosis and has to wear a brace for it.
Trigger Finger: MarcoEmma had trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) in her left index finger and right thumb when she was six. It was operated on a few months after she was diagnosed with it.
If any of those areas would be useful for your writing research, please contact the submitter directly by sending them a note. If you want to make a submission to the database yourself, the information is on our profile.
Requests
We take requests for information too. If you need someone else’s personal experience or knowledge as help with your writing research, and it isn’t in the database, leave a comment here. We’ll gather all the requests together and put them out as another journal, asking if anyone can help. Though if someone reading this journal sees a request in the comments they can help with, please feel free to contact the requester immediately.
You can make a request at any time—leave a comment on whatever is the current journal or on the group profile, or send us a note. It isn’t necessary to be a member or a watcher to make a request, but it would be lovely if you joined in.
Favourites
If the database or requests system helps you in writing something, we would like to put the finished article in our favourites. So, if you post your piece on dA and would like it to feature in our collection, please send us a link! We’re thinking about featuring the stories in our journals too.
Watching TheKnow
A note for anyone passing by: we understand some people may not want their details permanently on show in the database, but may feel comfortable talking to requesters privately via note. In that case, please consider watching TheKnow so you can keep an eye on the journals and what’s being looked for.
