  1. Nora Stuart commented: Hello, While I do not have experience writing and proofreading user help documentation in a professional setting, I am primarily responsible for assisting several friends and relatives who struggle with newer technology to learn to perform tasks on their own. I am confident in my ability to provide simple and easy-to-understand instructions for new users to the site and would love to be considered for the volunteer position. I write for Ao3 under the username SerpentsKiss.
