Hello everyone! Naachan's birthday is coming up on November 7th. I thought that to celebrate her turning 18, her international fans could collaborate to say happy birthday! So, this year I will be running an international fan project to collect letters, drawings, short messages etc. to be compiled and sent off to Japan! The end product will be a decorated book filled with your contributions and thoughts for her to keep and read whenever. I will be taking: ☆ Letters - these can be in English or Japanese - Japanese is definitely better so she can understand you better, but you could also provide both languages. There is technically no limit on the length, but please keep any essays for individual correspondence. If you wish, you could also scan a copy of a handwritten letter and send it to me. Please sign it with your name and location. ☆ Messages - if you want to say happy birthday but don't want to write a whole letter, simply leave a short message (140 characters or less) and your name in the google form. ☆ Drawings - if you are at all artistically inclined, feel free to send in any art you have produced, in jpg or png format. Imgur is my favourite service for uploading photos to, but feel free to use a site of your own choice. ☆ Pages - if you wish to combine a letter and a drawing or feel like your message would be best suited to an entire page, then you can submit an A4 OR SQUARE image/pdf of your own design. ☆ Designs - if any of you have any ideas for the front cover or general pages, feel free to send them in! It could just be a rough sketch for inspiration, or an actual graphic design if that's your thing. ■ NOTE ■ I won't be taking physical submissions, simply due to the fact that various postal systems can take a long time to get things through, and the weight of the book would become quite significant. If you want to send her something handwritten / a gift, however, do it anyways! She loves correspondence from fans so the more the better. SUBMISSIONS ♢ For short messages: http://goo.gl/forms/Q9VlsQGOa1 ♢ For letters, images, pages and queries: omedetounaachan@gmail.com DEADLINE: 30TH OF OCTOBER This gives me enough time to finish the book, decorate it completely and send it out in time! Let's make Naachan's 18th great!
Thank you all so much for participating! I'll be starting work on the book tomorrow - I'll keep the thread updated with pictures. Ah, thank you! I appreciate the publicity. If any of you want to share this on any of your social media, please feel free to! The more participants the better.
If I write a (short) letter would it be OK to take a photo instead of scan it? Obviously scanning is better because a photo can never be totally straight, but could you still use a photo?
Just a reminder that messages over 140 characters should be emailed to omedetounaachan@gmail.com and not submitted through the form. The form is for short answers which I will be printing onto cards, and it creates hassle for me if people don't do it properly. Thanks!
