Experts for my Book?

Abe Sargent · 01-29-2008, 08:13 PM

Hello all

As some of you may know, I am currently unemployed (mostly) but I am still selling articles to magazines and websites for cash.

I've been using my time until I find another job to write a few short stories, and do some research before beginning to write my novel.

After a while, I started writing my novel yesterday, and I'm 11 pages in, but I'd like to know if there are any experts here who would be willing to answer a few questions on their field of knowledge. Here are the things I am currently in need of:

Expertise on:

Goat Herding, Cheese-making, Butter making, Milking, etc

Donkey care and handling

Medieval husbandry

Medieval instrument making

Spear fighting

Let me know if any of you have a significant degree of knowledge in these fields and might be willing to anwer some questions.

I've already done some research in these areas, so I am looking fo more than wiki or a google search.

thanks!

I know a little bit about middle-ages spear fighting, but next to nothing about the rest.

A good bet might be to visit some SCA websites. Some of the best historical information I've seen comes from these re-enactists.

Abe Sargent · 01-29-2008, 10:14 PM

Yeah, let me go check.

I like how you try to cover up all the porno talk by throwing in "cheese-making," but I'm on to you, buddy. They do make cheese in porn... or at least I do. It was my sophomore film project in college. I only got a C- on it, but that's because I had my actress (who's actually my cousin Tanya) make Roquefort, and the professor was a dick and demanded that I only have pasteurized cheeses in my porn. I don't know what his problem was, but there was no way that I was going to ask Tanya to make a fucking Maasdam or Svecia. You know what? Fuck college, and fuck cheese-making.

I'll meet you in about two weeks for some "medieval husbandry," though.

Must be one hell of a page 12 if you need all that help right now.

Someone asked me to guess what your novel was about, goat hearding and spear fighting would have been way down the list.

Might make a good penthouse forum submission.
