I think the Trisha Paytas thread is long overdue for a rewrite, that woman has gone through so many phases, controversies, and has even had a baby (and is either expecting another one or already had the second one) within the time that it has been made. I'd be happy to do the writing part if anyone is willing to help out with research
 
@Random Internet Person that's really good and way less snarky than I would be. I'll add more detail in the next 48 h.
And if you ever need a Lindsay Ellis thread subtitle, I got one: “Doug Walker hire turned video essayist and published author trying desperately to be remembered for something other than hot dogs being thrown at her face.”
 
I would like to rewrite Vox Day's OP, one of my favorite lolcows, whose history goes back over a decade, but
there is a lot of missing material. If anybody has archives of old Darkstreams or blog posts, let me know. He was mostly a Reddit lolcow, and Redditors suck at archiving, as we all know.
 
Eventually I'm going to get around to writing an OP for Goatis/Sv3rige since the current OP is terrible and doesn't contain all of the crime drama insanity of the past 3 years. I did a YouTube documentary on him so I can just lift most of the information on him from my script. @mentally eel also showed interest in contributing. I was getting bored of him but the fact that he's trying to strike my YouTube account down now has reignited my interest.

I would like to rewrite Vox Day's OP
I remember Revenge of the Cis alogging him back in the day, I wish there was someone covering and clipping him more because that shit was hilarious. I know their YouTube channel has them reacting to some of his old stuff, also the channel Missing Linc
 
Good call. I would prefer to avoid giving those fatties any money, but their Patron/Gumroad has all their archives. I remember there was a link to their unlisted playlist floating around the subreddit for a while, but they have probably shut that down by now. RoTC was definitely at their best when talking about Owen and Vox. I know there were a few small YouTube channels that posted clips, but many of them got flagged down and never came back as the interest died down. It will be a good project for a slow weekend.
 
Progress update on the Linkara OP Rewrite. I would say it's roughly 70% done. As I was quickly approaching the character limit, I took the time to split it into two posts, with an extra "RESERVED" post on standby just incase. The main section that's left to do is the Lightbringer comic, which I want to give proper detail and give a decent summary of the 15 issues. The AT4W section is mostly done, with a couple of small sections like a part about Iron Liz and Viga and Linkara's opinions on various comic book creators like Garth Ennis, Mark Miller, Rob Liefeld and Gail Simone being left.
 
I've already said I'm going to re-write Jim Sterling's OP, but maybe if I post that intention here it'll actually motivate me to get off my ass and do it. I have the structure laid out already but I will need people to help me gather evidence since we're talking about a 10-year timeline to cover.
I might be able to help since Jim is probably the only lolcow I've kept a (somewhat active) track of before joining. Searched through the entirety of his thread and there's no mention of the incident of him jacking off onto his glasses and posting it on Twitter, which is simultaneously good (one of the most utterly revolting pictures in existence) and bad (went undocumented and could be memoryholed).
 
the trs thread is in need of an update, they are a group with both a long history that isnt covered in the op and some of their biggest milkings have happened since the op was made and are not mentioned there. i would like to take a crack at it and am happy to work with others to bring the op to a more informative state
 
The Doug Walker, Spoony, Ken Penders, Reviewtechusa, TheAmazingAtheist, Carl Benjamin, LowTierGod, Jim Sterling threads could do a fresh new coat.
I can give the Patrick Sean Tomlinson thread a shot with recent events like the Glasgow convention because his thread alone was one of the most active ITG threads out there someday. Maybe can do with LTG as well when everything is put into one basket.

I don't have the attention span for writing these days, but I'm always down for copyediting or doxing (especially if family members need identification) so if anyone needs either of those things during a rewrite, hmu.
