Damn, feel like this would be a helpful taxonomy for some kind of situation where I'm hypothetically trying to give a lot of advice on a subject that's famously nebulous and hard to communicate how to do well. Good Poast
I also would appreciate a (full) LessWrong crosspost.
Minor:
> In writing advice, Thomas and Turner (Clear and Simple as the Truth) works in this way as well, doing their best to model how to write well in the Classic Style.
This sentence tripped me up for a second. e.g. naming authors first and then the book title in parentheses.
or LW crosspost, have you read my other two Inkhaven/Inchpin posts? On the one hand I agree this fits LW's implcit theme more than my other two posts, but on the other hand I think it's worse quality (by my internal subjective notions of quality) than my other Inchpin posts so far, so I feel weird about xposting my worst post.
I haven't yet read _How to Write Fast, Weird, and Well
_ yet.
All 3 seem fine for LessWrong, topic wise. Authors differ on how high they set their bar for xposting to LW, quality wise. And I haven't thought much about it.
Not sure if you have considered the following two LW discovery mechanisms:

irrelevant but I love the little bacteriophage (?) in the picture. Also "Eukaryote Writes Blog" is a super cool name.
Surprised this didn't mention [Should You Reverse Any Advice You Hear? | Slate Star Codex](https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/03/24/should-you-reverse-any-advice-you-hear/). Probably falls under 6a?

Thanks! Fixed re your last point. I will think a bit about how to include Scott's post.

https://inchpin.substack.com/p/board-game-strategy
fits relatively neatly under
https://www.lesswrong.com/w/gaming-videogames-tabletop
btw the <title> is still "How to Win Board Gmaes - ...", not sure if that is fixable.
also: I liked that you put the crux "Understand the win condition, and play to win." at the top
I read _How to Win Board Games_ and liked it too.
I haven't yet read _How to Write Fast, Weird, and Well

Not sure if you have considered the following two LW discovery mechanisms:
1. Search. I often search on LW directly.
2. Tags. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/E6CF8JCQAWqqhg7ZA/wiki-tag-faq#What_is_the_point_of_tagging_
A post might not qualify for a shoutout under "external links" in a lesswrong tag, but it can get listed under the tag.
So if you post something in the future, which fits neatly under a LW tag with not that many posts yet, that would be a good reason to crosspost.
