Volunteer
The first and best way you can Volunteer
is to tell us
your leather stories! The more
content this site has, the more useful it will be.
And we
know you have leather stories to tell.
(We all do.) Click on
QUESTIONS
for info on the sort of leather stories we want to include
and how to send them to us.
We can also use volunteer labor to help
SoundsKinky work better. If you have skills
as an
editor, indexer, or proofreader, we can certainly
use your assistance. Over time, we will acquire audio
and video files as part of the
SoundsKinky archives:
these will need to
transcribers for these.
Some of the audio and video will eventually need to be prepared
to become
streaming content, so skills in those
areas would be most useful. And as our archive of
stories grows, we will need
database programming
to store and serve up the stories efficiently (including
providing a search mechanism to paralle the index pages.
If you have any of these skills and would be interested
in donating your services – even if only a few hours
a month – please contact us at
volunteer@soundskinky.com.
