Staff are supposed to write at least one writeup a month. I'm currently writing a rather lengthy master's thesis, and that is taking up a lot of time that I could otherwise use for noding. However, that is no excuse to fall behind. Therefore:
Staff Writeup Count 2008: 2/4 Two behind and holding...
Staff Writeup Count 2007: 12/12 owed. Phew, made it, and with a month to spare!

Everything2
Scene: A lecture hall, somewhere in Aberystwyth. Two hundred students are listening intently to a lecturer divulging the intricacies of contract law. One of them is using a laptop.
Tom: (whispered) You're always on that website! What is it?
Dan: (also whispered) Well... erm... this could take a while
This site, in roughly its current format has been around for eight years. In that time first the quantity and the quality of its content has increased hugely. There have been feuds, politics, wars and unions. There have been deaths and marriages. There have been meets. An enormous amount of coffee, tea and beer has been consumed, an incredible amount of money spent and a surprising number of air miles racked up. E2 is writing. E2 is also people.
It hasn't always been a smooth road. Some deep divisions have arisen and some people have become disillusioned. I'm not one of them. Frankly, although I have certain opinions, expectations and desires when it comes to the site, I'm just along for the ride. What happens to the site is not really a concern of mine, as long as its still here, still functioning, and I can still (occasionally...) write for it. It has never been perfect and will probably never be, that's what makes it interesting.
That said, the evolution of e2 is fascinating to look at. I used to have a short piece here comparing it to a city. Now, I'm not so sure. In fact I think it may work more like a country, though it of course progresses far faster. This means I have a suspicion as to where we are going to end up However, the easiest way to spoil a prediction is to voice it, so you'll have to wait and see.
Content Editor Bio
So now I am a content editor, here's my bio according to his lordship's criterior.
Writeups
List 3 to 5 writeups (not your own) that epitomize what's special about everything2 for you.
This is quite possibly Sam512's greatest work, and he is an excellent noder. One of the best. Note how vividly he describes the image, how expertly he raises the tempo, until, at the end, you feel you are standing there with him. Note how the last sentence doesn't end...
This is a well written entry from the 2003 hallowe'en quest. It epitomizes several of my favourite aspects of e2 - community, tradition, and silliness. The fact that noders do meet up for a drink with great regularity, the fact that although there is no rule demanding it, there is still a hallowe'en quest every year, and the fact that you can get away with describing a noder as an undead brain-eating zombie, despite it being a bit of an injoke, and still have it read and apreciated by everyone, all make e2 a very special place.
I used to quote this in its entirety on my homenode. It is beautiful. Just beautiful.
List 2 or 3 writeups (your own) with which you're most pleased.
Written over a lunch-break back when I was still a newbie, this writeup was the first to be multiply-C!ed. I received quite a few messages of solidarity from the noder-populace and it was around that time that I really began to feel a part of the community. Also, its one of only a few pieces of mine that could only really be posted here, rather than wikipedia.
I really enjoyed researching this one, and although perhaps rather a silly idea for a node, I think I treated the subject well. It also won me praise from some noders whom I admire most.
List 2 or 3 writeups (anyone's) to which you would point new users as an example of "how to write for e2".
Generally speaking I point new users at wertperch. He is one of the most skilled artisans of factual writeups e2 has ever seen, and whilst his unique, gentle style cannot be truly emulated by anyone but the man himself, it is certainly something to aspire to.
But the criterior asks for writeups and so...:
scarf has a unique, chirpy style that comes across perfectly in this writeup. It's a perfect example of how to write a piece for e2 and not wikipedia.
To be honest, I could have chosen pretty much any one of Mauler's year nodes, they're all excellent examples of what e2 means when it comes to factual content. E2 means everything, something a lot of new noders don't realise at first glance. The year nodes are a great example of what taking the time to research w writeup properly can create.
Mentoring/Community
At what time or times are you typically active on e2 and accessible for user questions and help?
Typically, I'm active in the early evenings GMT/BST - call it 4pm - 8pm and then again at midnight - 2am. It depends on what lectures I've had and whether I can afford to hit the pub.
Are you an active member of the Mentoring team, or if not, would you be willing to join?
No, although I have applied.
Are you a subject matter expert to whom the admin team can go for content advice? If so, in what area(s)?
I recently completed bachelor's degree in law and am currently working on a masters thesis on Copyright Law and the internet. I could be of service if a node contains references to the law of England and Wales, but until I'm a qualified practictioner I won't be offering serious legal advice.
Are you a leader or an active, contributing member of any e2 usergroups?
I'm the leader of e2lefties, a lurking member of no less than eighteen usergroups, of which I actively contribute to britnoders, Mornington Crescent, e2relgion, and e2law.
My e2 wishlist
- Better consultation with the users, an in house forum for ideas and discussion perhaps?
- More level powers, silliness is good.
- In house mail system, like /msging but large enough to allow more detail
- Better cross-referencing
- Full text search
- Separate daylog-like section for poerty
Self-reference on e2
18/04/05 I found this somewhere in slashdot, it's from 2001 and so is somewhat out of date, nevertheless it's probably worth reading:
"The cool thing about Everything is that it eventually acquired its own culture (much as Slashdot has its own culture), and it became self-referential. It acquired self-awareness, and lost its dependency upon the outside world. Slashdot depends upon external ideas and information, but Everything is perfectly content writing about the things that it discovers about itself. It's a simple thought experiment that took off and became, if not a small movement, then at least something like one.
It exists on a purely conceptual level. It soon outgrew a limitation on existing ideas and began to create new ideas, such as "backwards compatibility of the toaster." Instead of describing what people thought, it made them think anew.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's cool. :)"
Voting Philosophy
I will upvote:
- Anything that looks as if a lot of effort has gone into it.
- Anything which makes me laugh out loud
- Well presented lyrics (where the noder has gotten permission, of course)
- Any well presented, and well written factual
- Good, clever, funny or thought provoking fiction
- Well supported opinion
- Some very good, GTKY nodes
- Our Sensei
I will downvote:
- Anything with no visible signs of effort
- Unsupported opinions.
- Boring/pointless fiction
- Whines
However, I will only downvote if I do not believe the writeup can be improved .
- Most GTKY nodes
I will C!
- Something so good that even more people should read it.

Nodermeets and Real Life
Noders are some of the most interesting, weird, eccentric and generally fantastic people you could ever meet.

Quotations from Nottingham 2003
Robin Hood Pageant (Noders in Tights) - a Nodermeet in Nottingham has an aftermath, however, scarf collected an envelope full of quotations and formatted them but it was decided that noding them would lead to invoking the wrath of the gods. So here you go:
Saturday night, or Sunday morning plus a happy extra hour thanks to BST
bipolarbear: as a Voice from Next Door: "I'm still naked, man..."
StrawberryFrog: in squeaky choked kind of voice "Lesbians! Monkeys! Darwin!"
scarf: "I have to write it down, with the squeaky kind of voice..."
Andrew Aguecheek: "You probably have squeaky handwriting." (Um?)
BaronWR: "I've got to work out how to speak Entirely In Capitals."
HamsterMan: "HTML's just like a kitten."
AndrewAguecheek: "Explain?"
HamsterMan: "No, it's entirely unlike a kitten..." (in my defence, it was three am at the time, even allowing for the change back to real GMT)
There were also plans to nodeshell When you've been shunted sideways in your dead-end job, softlinked to janitor and several other things. This was from Andrew Aguecheek. -this has happened
Sunday
bipolarbear, again: "I may or may not be naked."
ascorbic, referring to bipolarbear: "Never accused of being melodramatic, are you? 'I'm dying, give me smoked salmon...'"
ascorbic, referring to HamsterMan, at this point wandering somewhere in West Bridgford in search of breakfast: "He'll come back, smeared with blood and his own excrement, with a knife between his teeth." (He didn't, and clearly has no sense of necessary drama.)
ascorbic: "So, you're telling us you don't measure time in demi-weeks?" (I'm not giving this one context, just to be contrary.)
bipolarbear: "So then I could put the hot pancreas in the glass..." (Um, the context of this we couldn't even grok. It just drifted across the table...) edit: the context of this was that, as David Blaine repeatedly abuses his pancreas, it ought to be given to lemur, a far more deserving recipient. However, as she was drinking a very cold drink at the time, the best use she could think of for it was to warm said drink.
HamsterMan: "...however, that is a full-on psychotic nutcase. With an axe."
StrawberryFrog: "You're talking about clouds, aren't you?" (Somewhat disturbingly, the answer was 'yes'.)
ascorbic: "I haven't crocheted in fifteen years." (Ditto context.)
ascorbic: "What was that silence for?"
bipolarbear: "When I grow up, I wanna be Mog."
HamsterMan: "You don't attack a lady!"
scarf: "No, you poke her gently." -- from an earlier exchange of, roughly "We have swords. Let's attack those small-children-wielding-swords!" (A_A) -- "We'd better not attack the princess." (HamsterMan) -- "Why not? She has a sword too. And a shield." (scarf) -- "You don't attack a lady!" (HamsterMan) -- "Well, you could sort of poke her gently." (scarf)
bipolarbear: "You are never, ever, ever coming anywhere near Syphilis."
ascorbic: "Her cat's called Syphilis. And her hamster's called Chlamydia." (True.)

I used to have a list here of noders who have C!ed me... I've not kept it up to date for some time, and it was getting a bit silly.
Thank you all
Cat litter
- < BlakJak> If God had meant people to be religious, he wouldn't have given us brains.
- This was during David Blaine's starvation thingy. The noders were debating what to throw at him. This is TMJ's take on Acetone water balloons:
<TenMinJoe>says: Seriously, though, this waterballoon hits you, and so you probably close your eyes, so they get glued shut, and then you're groping trying to get whatever it is off you so your hands probably get glued to your face...
<TenMinJoe>says: And by this point you're screaming so some gets in your mouth and glues your tongue to itself so your tongue is all twisted up, and you're going "Arargagrahrarhah" and people think you're just overreacting to a waterballoon and ignore you
- <wertperch> injects some love
<RalphyK> falls out of his chair - why wertperch, you saucy little devil...
<heppigirl> mmmm love injection
<Brontosaurus> Do i have a dirty mind or was that slightly dodgy?
- <IWhoSawTheFace>(as Arnold Schwarzenegger)says: Our children hef goten fat und lazy und stoopid playing dem video games. It's time to start de yout kemps egain. Let dem get out und play in de sunshine und vear uniforms und learn songs und go on forced marches for two days. Makes em strong
- <allseeingeye> nothing like a good crotch froth to start the day.
- <Thrae>says: Not all zombies are communists. Not all communists die because you hit them on the head with a blunt instrument.
- <RalphyK> If they don't post the results soon, I'm going to kill each and every one of you fuckers
<TenMinJoe> You're like a little oasis of tranquility in a chaotic, world, RalphyK, anyone ever tell you that?
<RalphyK> bites TenMinJoe's lips off, and spits them at him
TenMinJoe picks his lips up and regards them sadly.
- <ac_hyper> I got leery of Santa when I realized all the little poor children didn't get nice toys or clothes.
- <Gorgonzola> ok flaras, ewan ghenbold aseplantek emkar endram estrangetia devwarsantik ertwa denostrical tonbartic flestram gnemain edtrahin astek.
- A Newbie sums up e2: <stasikamus> hrrm.. I haven't seen so many original people in one place before
- <dannye> My wife and I just took our Lhasa out for her run and she got mauled by a fucking Poodle. A French Poodle. It was very embarrassing.
<Wuukiee> standard or toy?
<dannye> No serious damage, but I consider it an International Incident.
<dannye> The medium one about her size.
<halspal> Aren't you allowed to shoot uppity poodles in Arkansas?
<jasonm> some of those poodles are as tall as kids. i'm guessing that's not the case with this one?
<Caffeinated> Was it one of the poodles with the silly haircut?
<dannye> The owner was freaking out, Hal. Also, my gun jammed.
- <allseeingeye> poetry is pompous/ any fool can do it/ pineapple apocalypse
- <BaronWR> Hah-the CIA assisted by the gnomes of Zurich and wielding a raygun and a bamboo-nose-splitter have assassinated Hitler, thereby gaining lesbians, monkeys and soy and winning
- <WaldemarExkul> I guess wanking at genuinely relativistic speeds would have the benefit of being a more effective (if not safer) means of increasing penile mass than the ones I get spam about.
- <heppigirl> hmmmm does the body absorb cholesterol from anal butter
<aknot> if you're worried, use margerine
- <Gritchka> Why does no-one node E2 slashfic? Must be a few C!s in a good bones/dannye
- <IWhoSawTheFace> No matter how obnoxious they are, I can't hate naive teenagers holding dangerous political opinions. Don't know why that is.
- <TheDeadGuy> Hey heppi, does it turn you on when your man takes your ex-boyfriends out to sea and rubs them out for you as a anniversary gift?
- <VR> it's better to run away very fast and die from lack of breath then it is being beaten to death.
- <TenMinJoe> You know, I think the sum total of work I have done today comes down to four words on a bit of paper. There were six but I've crossed two of them out.
- <yclept> Vampires are boring. They drink their meals, and are never willing to try new dishes. Slave over a hot stove all day, and do they appreciate it? No. Not one bit. Inconsiderate undead reflectionless bat-wannabees.
<CleverAlias> John walked up to me before we left, I made fun of him for having fake blood all over his face, and he bit my neck. Then he said "Hmm. Do you want to die next week?" and I was like "cool!"
<Kit>says: aw... how come nothing like that happens here?
<La petite mort> ycelpt, you dag!
<Tiefling> adopts a bad Romanian accent in an attempt to build vampire-cred.
<La petite mort> Tiefling, I don't think it is going to work.
<Kit> wishes there was a live vampire porn in her hometown.
<Tiefling> Vat do you meeean, it isn't goink to vurk?
- <rootbeer277> I wonder if you can get around Dwarf Tossing laws by throwing around midgets.
- <lady_day> aargh! <fondue>'s a bloke! and he looks like that and yet doesn't have a neat pointy little goatee! I CANNOT COPE WITH THIS!!!!!
- <lady_day> I aim to freak people the hell out; it's like aiming to please, except with conversations about masturbating lesbian computers. - Yes... we had just had a conversation about the above. Don't ask.
- <Swap> EXPLICATE THE FUNNY AND YOU KILL THE FUNNY! THE FUNNY EXISTS BY ITSELF, ALONE, UNCOMPREHENDED! Never question the funny again. Repent, meatbag.
- <interrobang> I WAS NOT GOING FOR AN EXPLICATION OF THE FUNNY, MEATBAG
- <SharQ> I still scratch my nuts manually. I feel so old-fashioned.
- <mkb> On second thought, let us not go to E2. It is a silly place.
- <TheDeadGuy> "Let's move everything to Rome and start stockpiling treasure. Sound like a good idea? Yes? Cool, on with it then." -Constantine.
- <izubachi> No, really, I was quite the pious little boy. Said my rosery daily. Prayed for the souls of my non-Catholic friends. Knew my Communion Golden Book backwards and forwards. Then the whole gay thing happened...
- (politically hungover)<Lady_day> "urggghh... flirtation with right-wing politics... never again *pukes*"
- <Swap> No need to apologise. Languages are sexy, unless it's <vuo> talking about Finnish.
<StrawberryFrog> Finnish sounds like what being clubbbed over the head with a frozen fish would feel like.
- <LeoDV> I'll probably name my daughter LeoDV'sPropertyGetYourSlimyHandsOffMyDaughterYouLittleShitOrI'llKillYouYouThinkI'mKidding?
- <Scriblerus> All I want in a woman is perfection on every level. I have NO idea why this should be such an unreasonable demand.

- <18thCandidate> When the gang pulls off his mask, Voldemort turns out to be Filch, Hogwart's caretaker, who says, "And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you <darn> kids!"
- <ScientistPhilosopher> "Young Adolf was a sweet lad, with an appreciation for Art."
- <scarf> Well, I consider it fairly weird to asksomeone "please jump up and down so I can see your breasts jiggle". But, orientation notwithstanding, I don't have
the testosterone to utter that kind of thing myself.
<scarf> That's not where I intended that sentence to end up, because I do utter things like that, just not in actual sincerity..
<scarf> In fact, "going 'breasts! dude!' tends to be a drunken activity, except when one is you, was said of me earlier today.
- <OldMiner> You poets with your big words, your synonyms, and your guns.
- <Andromache01> The last time I drank too much I woke up working in that sideshow in Tijuana, missing a kidney. Mmm, gin.
- <TheDeadGuy> I mean, this was a guy who was dead serious about us having to go see ABBA in concert as part of our ethnic heritage as Swedes. Very serious.
<TheDeadGuy> As a result I can proudly say I saw ABBA during their 1978 tour when they all wore tight spandex blue bodysuits. Benny and Bjorn were especially disturbing with what appeared to be overly visible codpieces.
- <Laura Elizabeth> Jet Poop is teh sexiest... whatever... on the Earth!
- <BrooksMarlin> Every time you engage in illegal music downloading, God causes a barrel of oil to get lost in shipping
- <paraclete> You've never been to Central London, have you craze?
<paraclete> Especially Central London on a sunny Saturday.
<paraclete> It's not pretty.
<craze> What is special about london?
<paraclete> There will be bloodshed.
- <Laura Elizabeth> I like my cheesecake the way I like my men: naked and unadulterated.
- <artman2003> this site lately is like that really hot chick you have the immense fortune to be dating. but all of a sudden she begins refusing you some lovin a lot.
- <Evil Catullus> I'd join wikipedia if they had more wicked and less.. uh.. pedia.
- <kthejoker> I have long suspected that veal is not baby cow, but in fact merely baby.
<DonJaime> Having visited several slaughterhouses, I am not in a position either to confirm or rebut that suspicion.
- <creases> Life is more important than a job. If you wouldn't sleep on the job, why should you let yourself sleep any time in life?
amnesiac appears in a blinding arc of electrical discharge and lies kneeling naked on the ground
<paraclete> About bloody time.
<amnesiac> Your clothes. Give them to me.
<Dimview> amnesiac?
<Dimview> Is that he? The one and only?
<paraclete> hands amnesiac her most fine underwear and a simple shirt with which to clothe his nakedness.
(edited due to some noders having no sense of appropriate drama or timing)
- <256> The real danger of superglue isn't in accidentally gluing yourself together (though that does happen) it's that when you have a tube of it on your desk, you start to look around and think what else needs to be glued to what...
- <dichotomyboi> Being Buddhist is the art or saying one thing, saying it's opposite, affirming that both are true, and then smiling to one's self.
