Quick summation of the rules:
The Stephen Fry Birthday Book Rules
(rules as in guidelines, we all know this book totally RULES)
1. Respond on the forum message board “Tracking the Birthday Book” thread when you receive the book.
2. Once you receive this book, you have two (2) days to decorate your two (2) pages.
3. Please take a picture of the book next to a local landmark to show its travels.
4. You may upload that photo to our album at http://www.photobucket.com. Username: fluffetteforum, password: fluffetteforever, subfolder “Birthday Card”.
5. We will have a list of where the book is going. Private Message (PM) the person who will receive the book before you so you can give them your address. Currently this is the American list:
Fryphile: Missouri
Boiler12: Indiana
Michael: Oklahoma
notaracer - North Carolina
PamJH - Michigan
Ginj - New Jersey
So Boiler will PM me her address, Michael will PM Boiler, Notaracer will PM Michael, PamJH will PM Notaracer, and Ginj will PM PamJH. The same will be true once the European list is established.
6. If the next recipient doesn't answer your PM in 48 hours, we must move on to the next person.
7. Please use postal tracking so you can follow the book.
8. If you are under the age of 16, please make sure your parents or guardians are OK with this.
9. Use common sense when decorating your page. If you glue something, make sure it's completely dry before you close the book. Tape might be a better choice much of the time. Please don't use markers or paint that might bleed onto someone else's page.
10. You may keep photographs of your pages on the off-chance something happens to the original. These don't have to be shared unless you want to, but that creates a back-up for us.
11. A good site for tracking distance between cities: http://www.geobytes.com/citydistancetool.htm
Edited to include the itinerary lists:
USA
Europe/UK
I think of myself as someone who is filled with love, whose only purpose in life was to achieve love. - Stephen Fry
