Pooling Resources

Is there anyone up for sharing resources? I've got a fair bit of documentation that I either wrote or compiled for my current work and then other bits that I've gathered from personal experience.

However, these pieces can be quite long, dry and are a bit like making sausage (they take the mystery out of the reading experience).

Would anyone be opposed to connecting and sharing such docs?

You mean like word processor files of information? Or do you just mean a list of websites we've found useful in our own writing? I can give a laundry list of books that I've referred to time and again over the years for different things. I've also got my go-to websites for otherwise useless information and such.

Word processor files that negate the need to look up information. Still compiling my personal library of calculations and tables and stuff that, when done right adds little to a story, but when done wrong takes the reader right out of it.

I see. Thanks! It could be an interesting database, but could get unwieldy very easily.

I think a wiki would be awesome, the writers wiki, listing things of use to a writer, how long it takes to fall how far, (something i recently made a table of myself) stuff like that.

Actually, a wiki sounds like a good idea. I could probably whip one up this coming weekend if there's actual interest.

Created a quick wiki (but haven't had a chance to populate it yet) at http://www.writersfg.com/
