Full Version: Idea: Snail Mail Chain Letter

I got this idea for a snail mail chain letter from your snail mail list.

First person starts with big clean piece of paper and write a small paragraph of anything they want. They send to next person and next person adds another small paragraph to that same paper and send to third person, etc...

If you run of space, you start a new paper and send both pieces of paper to the next person, and the next person following will add on on same paper. After a certain number of people, someone could take a picture or scan of the papers for everyone to see what happened to the paper since they've last written on it.

Just a thought that was kinda interesting. Anyone interested?

On other sites that I also mail there are small books that do the same thing as you chain mail is suggesting. Unfortunately they never seem to continue on for too long and usually get lost along the way.

Just an idea. What if one person would offer to scan letters from FPN? Maybe like an FPN member guestbook, or biography section, or some other theme? It would be a lot of work for the person involved in the scanning part. Maybe the scans could be posted in a special thread? Ideas, opinions, enthusiasm?

That would be nice. In Rspc they have a journal. I think several got lost, that's the only problem. sad.gif

And no doubt some 'get lost' because irresponsible participants don't honor their agreement. You might want to make a clause that anybody who participates and doesn't keep the project moving along in a timely fashion when s/he gets the materials, that the member agrees to add fungus to all his/her bottles of ink and not buy a new bottle of other ink until s/he has used up the fungi ink, or something like that. biggrin.gif

Yeah. biggrin.gif That is funny. BTW, I never got the journal anyway. Disappeared. Vanished. blink.gif

So we'd have to add a little vial of fungus along with the journal. Good idea. eureka.gif

Hi,

No, a vial of spores. Pour a little into your ink and you are all set. tongue.gif

What about something to mess up their stationery? No, that would be too much. tongue.gif
