Folks want to make a binder-bound memento kindof thank-you book for Joss and the Dollhouse cast and crew - it would either go with the card & cake or a little later, depending on how big a deal the bindery-book ends up being.

It would just consist of 8.5" x 11" pages slipped into protectors and put into a small-3 ring binder. You can do a message, a quote, a picture, a letter - whatever occurs to you.

I'm sure there have been many such things in the fandom before, but here's the only similar thing I was involved in - when the BSG writers were on the strike line for the 07-08 WGA strike, BSG fans at Fans4Writers several times submitted similar creations that other fans then mounted in a display & brought to the line to hearten the strikers. Here's one of mine:



I show this not to say "how great is this" (it ain't) - but actually to show how small an effort can be involved & still have meaning to the Dollhouse creators. I'm just trying to assess folks' interest in putting in something for this book.

If you're interested, please post in this thread. When I know if there's a few folks - or more, I'll post more info on deadline & specs.

Any comments or suggestions are of course welcome - though I can't guarantee that elaborate, extravagant or impractical suggestions will actually be taken into consideration.

Yes! I think this is a great idea- especially if the talented creative people get involved. Which is not me, but I'd contribute something anyway.

Yeah, I'll contribute if this goes forward. Thanks for taking the initiative.

I will gladly contribute. Will also assist if you want to lay out something more ambitious like a Lulu or Kodak book.

Count me in, QG! Thank you for being willing to work on this.

I hope people over at dot com are fully aware that polls and topics are ongoing over here so we can get an accurate count for you.

I would be interested in contributing something to a book also.

ohey, I'm so in. I don't know that I can do anything particularly fancy or nice looking, but I'd love to put a little message across. (:

I'd be willing to throw in a little for this as well (as I'm recently jobless I have to be careful with the fundage).

E-Rock, no one needs to spend a thing for this - just make a little artistic contribution to the book - a page w/ some kindof message of thanks to the Dollhouse cast & crew for their work - like a quote, or quote and picture, or just a little message - whatever.

I'm looking forward to seeing what folks make for this - and hoping we can get some more peeps so it looks goooood and full. (We can't even consider going to a Lulu book without a lot more content - not that I think that route is likely.)

I'll put up some specs soon - but it's looking like it can be an 8.5" x 11" page used however folks want to use it - and in a high-res pdf or jpg as the final to email to me.

Count me in! (I'm not overly creative but I'd like to put something in)

Do we have a time limit (before cake-delivery-day?) or is it just a as-soon-as kind of a thing?
