Hello and welcome to TheKnow Database Round-Up 6! Thank you so much to everyone who’s become a member or watcher, or added to the database since last time. (An extra thank you to the kind souls who added to the database—anapests-and-ink and myself were really starting to worry there ^^)
Here are the latest submissions to the database:
Travel and Home
Born and raised in New York City: SadisticIceCream states: Feel free to contact me with any of your NYC-related research questions!
Lived in Washington, DC: SadisticIceCream has lived in Washington, DC and its suburbs for the past five years.
North West of England: SCFrankles was born, and has lived all her life, in the North West of England.
Family
Relative in the Priesthood: SCFrankles’ late elder brother was a Roman Catholic priest. (From his mid-twenties until his late-thirties, when he died.) He lived in Spain, and worked as a teacher, as a parish priest and latterly as an archivist. She is happy to discuss the everyday aspects of being a priest and what it's like to be related to a member of the clergy.
Culture
I can run for President: “...but my parents can't,” says neurotype-on-discord. Her parents immigrated to the US from overseas. Besides “English and shit” she learned in school, she speaks a squiggly language and 90% of her family is still over there. (Admin’s Note: I just type this stuff up ^^”)
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.
