- technology (bc duh)
- art (edit probably arts/crafts)
- literature and history? social sciences? (edit: literature and writing is probably it's own, then..........social sciences? science and history?)
- interpersonal and life (thinking like ND tactics or things like that? idk?)
(edit to add...
- food and drink
- animals and the outdoors
- home improvement and diy OR JUST diy)

i want pretty big overarching categories, not narrow.....but idk what level to aim at. they obv won't be balanced because we are so tech heavy lol

so far (there is almost nothing so far lol) it's a dead simple structure that just wants a fedi handle, title, category, and blurb for any individual listing. no email or other contact methods, just fedi

i'll probably also ask folks for a TTL on their listings...

Stuff
- Commerce
- Free

Then be sure to have tags/required questions/something for things like:
- Digital
- By Mail
- In person; location required

I think this is an awesome idea and would be a super cool thing to have exist (and would deff participate myself!)

In field-ish is obviously better, but I can probably do a decent job on most of chemistry & biology. I've done beta/proofing for fiction too, but that's much more personal style preference oriented and also I don't like getting side-swiped with unexpected sex scene in a "general" rated fic, so I'd probably be more selective in taking those projects on.

*we don't have too many junior folks around here, but this includes papers and things for internal advancement like qualifying exams if they can give me a copy of guidelines and maybe some example of what a good one in their department was

Both include “how to get along with animals”, but one is like “how to identify a hawk” and one is “how to introduce a new kitten”. So maybe “animals” is a usefully broad category, but “nature/outdoors” is too broad?
