Mailfriends Round Robin.

This could either be really good... or could go down like the Titanic... anyway. I was thinking like "Mailfriends Diary".

The idea

We take a book (like an exercise book) and the first person (i.e me) would start off writing/drawing/doodling something on the first page of the book, someone else would tag me and I would send the book to that person, they'd fill in a page and send it on to the next person who tagged them and so on until we have a completed book and then start again.

Anyone interested?

I really like that! Smile I think it's very interesting. It would be cool! I hope many more people will support this idea and start participating.

femalePirate Wench | 15 April 2008 - 5:02pm

I'm glad you're interested Smile We'll hold on for a bit then if more people sign up we can get cracking!

I'd be interested too. I've never done anything like this before. How do we actually start off? Is it here on this topic or PM's, guestbook, e-mails? How would you approach someone to TAG them?

femalemightyaphrodite | 15 April 2008 - 11:37pm

I am soooo in..you organize it, though. =P I've done this a few times & it was a lot of fun! Just FYI us with how you want to proceed! Very happy

Rules of the book...

The majority of what you write should be in English although you can write what you want so if you do write something in your native language there should be an English translation so everyone can read it Smile.

When decorating or filling in your page of the book try not to make it too heavy - for example sticking in heavy photographs or covering the page with heavy paper - just to keep the postage and bulkiness down really as this book has got a long way to travel.

Somewhere on the page that you write on should have your Mailfriends username, your country and the date you received the book or filled in the page. This will probably only need to be done on the first round of sending the book as by maybe the second round everyone will know each other a bit better.

Other stuff

Make sure when you send the book off to the next person you package it well (fairly obvious).

At this stage maranello has the book last so he will send it on to a newcomer if someone else signs up once we have got going or send it back to me and it will go round again so everyone else can see other's peoples handiwork.

You must PM the person you need to send the book to for their address.

Any problems/issues/concerns PM me Smile

Oh, also, forgot to mention for people who have signed up that are sending it from one place in the UK to the next it will be about 66p second class and 78p first class Smile

Ahh..wondering...any general guidelines about how long each person is expected to be in possession of the book?

redwillie97 - none as such... I think everyone is quite eager to pass it on so hopefully no one will keep it for ages - I'd say it's acceptable for people to keep it 1 - 2 weeks... not longer than a month though.

yes a dead line isn't very good. every person should take his/her time to decorate the page. but he/she should also think of the persons behind who are eager to get it Smile
