Anonymous: List your skills

Anon needs YOU.

Now's the time for us to start upping our game.
The first "Message to" video. Definite win.
The 3 global protests. Oh baby yes, yes yes! that'll be some moar winsauce on them there fries.
But...
It's what comes next.
At the minute, the Scilons are reeling like never before, and we're in a position to start pushing them back towards the ropes.

So many options, so little time...

Lulzy. Srs bznss. Viral. Clever pranks with an eye on the media. Investigative research that'll grab the press' attention like a kick to the nuts. ??????.

There'll hopefully be more and more good operations coming up, so if you have skillz and a certain amount of time you're prepared to use on the right project, please list them in this thread. It's then a simple matter for Anon to find the abilities he needs, and PM you with info and a link to the Op. Some you'll have time for, some you won't. Some you'll know you HAVE to be a part of. Other's not so much!

What skills? Everything and anything, with the exception of things that could help identify you if they were known.

Web Design. Video Editing. Writing. Telephone Research. Legal Pointers (not advice). Online Research. Joke writing. Graphic Design. Song writing. Programming. The list is pretty much infinite. Whatever you know you're good at and could be of use, together with a rough amount of time you're prepared to commit. Stick 'em down.

EDIT: Struck out two, because there're now a goodly number of us ITT who do the old ("writtin" and "browsing for pron"). Having said that, if you know you're the next Hunter S. Thompson or really can make Google/Dialog/Nexis dance the tango then "helloO there..!" still needed, wanted and loved. Just didn't want them to be 95% of the things being listed. Diversity being our biggest strength 'n' all that.

Interesting times ahead.
History and much laughter are beckoning Anon.

Re: Hey you...YES YOU...YOOOOU!...

I could probably do some creative writing here and there. Speeches, essays and press releases - I could work collaboratively or by myself on any of these.

Re: Hey you...YES YOU...YOOOOU!...

Editing.
You’ve got 1000 words and a 200 word limit? Send me your shit. I will cut it to shreds.

Will also check for grammar, spelling, repetition or general fuck-up-ed-ness.
15 years of experience.

Specific stuff.

Editing for letters from:
- a concerned citizen
- a uni grad or prof
- a crotchety old fuck
Script writing and/or formatting:
- for film

& Choreography (I can makes and teaches it). Bust a move.

4-5 hours a week.

I have some reasonable graphic design skills, and a lot of general photoshop skill. Give me data and I can turn it into flyers and/or posters.

Re: Hey you...YES YOU...YOOOOU!...

I've got a music collection of 30,000+ songs, a disturbing amount of which was legally acquired if that's an issue, and I write news for a living. Take your pick.

Re: Hey you...YES YOU...YOOOOU!...

Alright at Graphic Design, and video editing. Check the Christchurch April 12th video if you want an example of a video I've strung together.

I'm also not bad at speech writing, drawing, and just writing in general.

I am a writer well-versed in passionate, technical, dense, or academic language. I can describe a sunset in poetic terms and still make it fit in a classified ad, and edit even the most opaque prose into a bastion of clarity. I also spend about 20 hours a day in front of various computers, with plenty of free time.

Re: Hey you...YES YOU...YOOOOU!...

I write. Damn well, in fact.


I have been considering writing a letter to the Navy Times re: Educating sailors to be aware of Scientology and their front groups. Attaching a picture of the Sea Org all dressed up like Admiral Farragut wannabe's, and detailing some of the incidents (fucking chain locker) that took place on the Apollo and Freewinds, will probably serve to _enrage_ the armed services community.

I am also considering writing to my governor's* office to provide details on the current controversy surrounding Scientology, and describe their ongoing attempts at infiltration of school boards, police departments, local and state governments, government organizations, etc. The only problem with that is I have no credible evidence of any such activities occurring in Alaska. If any Alaska goons are privy to such information, then I can go ahead and include that. I would be much more effective in describing the parasitic nature of the CoS and their front groups if I could find one or more actively operating in Alaska, drawing on state funding.
tl;dr = gonna need some help doing research before I write to the Governor

Re: Hey you...YES YOU...YOOOOU!...

I write too....only limitation is that I need a muse...I need inspiration to hit me. Once that happens I'm in the zone. Currently writing a stageplay that I've always wanted to do, only got the inspiration two days ago and have already got most of the first draft completed!!!

If you want to know a little more about me check out my Youtube channel. It gives nothing of my identity away before anyone accuses me of namefaggery. :)

Re: Hey you...YES YOU...YOOOOU!...

I am communicanon.. trained in how to best bring across a message to a certain group of people.

I have a reasonable amount of time available but due to med problems currently very limited attention span, so I don't want a big lump of work to do on my own - it wouldn't get done. Best suited would probably be to send me drafts I could comment and suggest on. Also me and my stormy brain are full of ideas for brainstorming.
