Information
I thought it might be a cool idea to have a journal be sent around, with every person it comes to making an entry. It could be a poem, short story, song lyrics, or even a drawing. Leave a comment if you would be interested n_n

What's going to happen to the journal?
I live about two to three hours (depending on if I'm at school, or one of my parents' homes) from Indianapolis, so John Green comes to my area quite a lot. I was thinking that once the journal comes back to me, I could photocopy all the pages and present John with the original. Then, possibly, I could try to get the photocopied pages into a manuscript, with a proper foreword and attempt to get the journal published!
When will I be sending the journal?
I'm ordering the journal by the end of April 2nd, and then once it comes in I will be creating my entry, once we have a formative idea of how the project should go as far as content, etc- after all, this is a collaborative effort. I also need to create a beginning list of who gets the journal when, if someone would like to assist me with that.
Will there be guidelines/a theme to what will end up in the journal?
Maybe. I'm not quite sure if I like that idea, simply because it might stifle creativity, though I do like the ideas that Rue posted of:
a) Make it about how you made/would like the world to be more awesome
b) Start with the words, Dear Nerdfighteria
c) Your own definition of DFTBA
d) put in a picture of you holding the notebook in your favourite part of your city
Let me know if you have any other ideas!

Okay guys, I know that I ultimately want to get this to John. But do we want to pursue publishing? And how do we want the journal to look? I can order a fancier journal, or one of our more…Continue

Okay, enough people have joined that I can at least get this thing started. I'm ordering the journal this week, but I'll need another week to get my first entry done. I'm doing a forward, and maybe…Continue

Is it still open to be apart of this? And is it okay for me to take part even if I live in the UK?

This makes me really excited. It quite reminds me of Dash and Lilly's Book of Dares.

*the suggestions i made are flexible, maybe everyone can vote on which are the best? (How bout a stamp from your country!) and i forgot to mention that after completing the first four tasks, you can add whatever you want, also a page limit may be appropriate to avoid running out of pages and encourage neatness and care when adding each entry
*also don't add organic materials that might cause Quarantine problems, Australia is very picky about that :S

This is Amazing, this is a terrific idea, there is a risk of losing it but it's like a message in a bottle, and what if, there is one or a few guidelines to keep the entries connected, say
a) Make it about how you made/would like the world to be more awesome or b) Start with the words, Dear Nerdfighteria
c) Your own definition of DFTBA
d) put in a picture of you holding the notebook in your favourite part of your city
any other ideas? +messages can be left on a seperate discussion to track the progress, also what happens to the notebook once it is full?
