Topic: The Book Project

One insane night on RL/Skype, discussing packages and postcards, SCV had the brilliant idea to recreate The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, only with a journal.

The idea would be that RKC would buy the journal and send it to Gilly. Gilly in turn would send it to SCV, who would send it to Turtle. Turtle would ship the journal to Rosie, and en fin, Rosie would send it to RKC, thus completing the circle.

The circle should end with RKC having the book in November. Providing this works out, Honda Cubie and Charli will be in the next cycle.

DISCUSS.

Edit: Forgoing the initial plans of a trial run, we've decided to include all 9 people involved the first time round.

Edit: Rosie pulled out.

Edit: Bonnie has joined the Project!

Edit: Cindy joins the Project!

The order is as follows:

1. Alice - UK

2. Gilly - France

3. SCV - Spain

4. Charli - Australia

5. Cuba - Australia

6. Lexie - Australia

7. Honda - USA

8. Turtle - USA

9. Cindy - USA

10. Bonnie - UK

EDIT 10/06/09: See the last post in this forum about new detail re: Book Proj! Exciting stuff!

I agree, it is most awesomeness. What are you writing in the book?

#3 May 17th 2008, 3:36pm
Princess Gillybean

well for starters a bit about ourselves.

-Don't forget to introduce your self on the Introduce Yourself thread :)

We thought we'd start with intros, a mini bio with a pic or something like thatt....

as for the actual content, practically anything goes.

Though if Charli was ever included, we'd come up with some rules.

#5 May 17th 2008, 3:38pm
RyanKathrynCelia

Yep - anything goes in the content region - obviously within the limits of morality... namely no porn lol. I don't think any of us are that way inclined.

I just introduced myself. Thanks for pointing that out Gilly. :)

No problem! :)

Official welcoming then Honda!

Okay - so when the trial actually starts, I think we should list here the various things... maybe when we ship the book, when it arrives, how much the shipping costs etc?

#9 May 17th 2008, 3:46pm

If RKC can get her hands on the notebook, then we can start pretty soon...

And if we start in June, Alice should be holding the book again in November.

#10 May 17th 2008, 3:48pm
Princess Gillybean

should we do like birthdays and stuff?

#11 May 17th 2008, 3:52pm
RyanKathrynCelia

Yeah - include something special ;) yours is coming up soon. I was thinking maybe a special post card, or even a birthday card? It doesn't have to be fancy. And glitter. Do we need glitter, and pretty pens ;)

#12 May 17th 2008, 3:54pm
Princess Gillybean

yep June 16th. and SCV, yours is in August right? So that would work out cause I'm sending there next.

Turtle I had a megababe idea. You should get Matthew to write something to Rosie in the journal.... How badly would she SQUEE? :D

#21 May 17th 2008, 4:09pm

omg SCV you're just full of fab ideas today.

Oh please... I was planning for him to write anyway. ;) lol. And send a racy picture... XD

I still better get a birthday present though!

Gotta love it! This is so exciting!

#25 May 17th 2008, 4:13pm

If I have enough money, I'll get you a present. It's gonna have to be small, though...

#26 May 17th 2008, 4:13pm

I'm sending Koalas/Kangaroos!

#27 May 17th 2008, 4:15pm
The Awkward Turtle

It's alright. :) I might send you one too... Seperate from the book project.

#28 May 17th 2008, 4:15pm

Please tell me the kangaroos aren't real......

#29 May 17th 2008, 4:15pm
RyanKathrynCelia

Other than Gilly's box, and the post cards... I haven't decided. Depends on the cash flow thing. ;)

#30 May 17th 2008, 4:16pm

Lol, Turtle and SCV share a birthday, and so do Gilly and I.

If I can convince my mother to let me give out my address, can I join?

#35 May 17th 2008, 4:22pm

Err... sheep? Or just the left over soot from the Industrial Revolution ;)

#36 May 17th 2008, 4:22pm
starcrossedvoyager

It's still a trial run, so we're testing it out with 5 people atm. If we can make it work, we'll start adding people, starting with you and Honda.

#37 May 17th 2008, 4:23pm
RyanKathrynCelia

Sure thing Cuba - it would have to be after the trial runs. Along with Honda and probably Charli as well.

We don't want lots of people with it though, otherwise it won't work logistically. You would theoretically only have to give your address out to two people, who you're getting it from, and who you're sending it too ;)

#38 May 17th 2008, 4:24pm
hondagirl

Yeah Charli. Me and you are round 2. :)

#39 May 17th 2008, 4:26pm

Yes you are. Hopefully Round two will commence at the end of this year :D

CharliRaverBaby

I can't believe you left me out bitches. How dare you? Evil! I tell you what I don't care. I'll go be a loner. Snot like it would be unsual. So Adious. *Sobs*

I can't believe it. Didn't even one of you think to include me? Fine *Packs Chainsaw, Orgasmic icecream, Cubie, awesome avi, hacker princess ID, and pictures of her legs into her backpack and heads off into the forbidden sunset while sobbing*

You left me out and Aus out! *dies*

:(

We could have a round robin!

#43 May 18th 2008, 1:10am
RyanKathrynCelia

Did you guys not read the topic?

Charli, my dear, assuming that this all works out, you'd be in the second round of the sending. This is because we don't want the first round to be too big for a trial run.

Pinky - if you want in, you'll have to go to Rosie as you only live three streets apart, it would work for someone to logistically send it to you, then onwards.

Austrailia will be involved (and, hello, Gilly is an Aussie... theoretically, by the time it gets to her a second time, she'll be back home in Austrailia, therefore it'll be cheaper for people to send).

As it stands at the moment:

Alice - Gilly - SCV - Turtle - Rosie.

We estimate that assuming I can get hold of the journal quickly, and is able to send it off that the circle could well be completed by November time. The second round will also have a limit on the amount of people included, and currently stands at 9 I believe. I think, for the moment, that this is my capping limit.

Ideas? Critisms?

Where does Turtle live?

#45 May 18th 2008, 3:24am

Turtle lives in the States.

CharliRaverBaby

I understood and I'm still pissy everyone except me is included from the skypers group. I don't think that it's fair to be honest. I seriously am hurt.

#47 May 18th 2008, 5:14am
starcrossedvoyager

We're sorry Charli, but you weren't online... and you're definitely in the second round.

#48 May 18th 2008, 5:16am
CharliRaverBaby

You still could have put me in even though I wasn't there. I'm touchy about it because everyone always leaves me out of everything. At school and my friends and that, so I'm overly tocuhy about it because I thought it would never happen here.

I would have loved to have taken part in this so I thought one of you would have at least remembered me.

Charli, please refrain from emotional blackmail.
