Plush Tourist
11 years ago
Hi,
I want to do a big version of a game from when I was a child. We did this once when I was in school, mail a plush to someone in the world. They can write something about where the plush has been, stick a small souvenir with it, and send it on to the next place. Eventually it would make its way back to me.
But this was many years ago, before the internet was the thing it is now. The old method involved people actually hand writing something and stuffing it into a zippered pack sent with the fuzzeh thing. And eventually it would get sent back to me.
But now the people who received my fuzzy could send emails with their visit. I'm thinking of building and maintaining a site to post my fuzzy friend's voyages. The people who receive my friend can send me emails and photos about the critter, and I could post them on the site. They could then send the thing on to the next.
So, really, all I need to get started is a plushy traveler, a website (and email), and, most importantly, someone to send it to first.

As a prank in 70's it was common to steal a gnome from someone's garden and take it on holiday with you, snapping photographs of said gnome's travels then after a certain amount of time the gnome would be returned to its original owner's garden with a package of photographs and or small souvenirs. Sometimes photos would be sent or postcards made from photographs featuring the gnome from where said gnome had been visiting.
