- Languages/Linguistics, I blog about them here
http://lingualism.quora.com/
My speciality is Romance languages. I speak Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and have studied a little bit of a few more. I could help you a little with Latin, but probably not provide a reliable translation. Beyond that, I just have a lot of overall experience in the history and characteristics of languages. I've studied far more than what are listed here, and if I can't help then I know plenty people that can even for really obscure languages.
I'd be very glad to help construct a language for your story as I've done it before and I've learned a little Na'vi, Esperanto, and Mando'ade. I can provide some input for dialects and accents of English as well. (I also speak less Mandarin and German.)
- Cajun culture/language
I'm only half Cajun but I deeply care about the culture and language. I speak Cajun French and am less adept in Cajun culture such as cooking, but I would still love to help.
-Teenagery/High school
Currently am a teen and I try to step back and explain it to others from time to time. I see
a lot of YA writers today not understanding the dynamics of social media in teenagers lives. I'm a pretty dynamic person in school, too, so my friends vary from all across the hierarchy and horizon.
-American culture/history/accents/dialects
I'm currently enrolled in a college level US history course and I've always loved history. I'm also fairly decent at explaining our different cultures and characteristics, though, and blog about it here.
http://understandingtheusa.quora.com/ I'll also quietly mention I know a bit about Latin/South American cultures as I speak Spanish and have a lot of friends from those places, but I've only been to one country and I'm not Latino myself so that's my extent.
-American South
It's where I've lived my entire life.
-Photography
A hobby I enjoy
-Boating
I live on a lake.
-Lacrosse

-Guitar/Mandolin/Uke/Other stringed instruments
Not an expert but I can provide some input
-Atheism
I'm an atheist and I've debated a ton. I have decent knowledge on different religious beliefs of the world, but I'd go to someone else first besides me.
- Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina
I hope to reap in the benefits here and provide my own!
