I'm sure we've all received chain mails before. This project is something similar but with more fun and minimal maliciousness.
Obviously I’m not gonna send my digital camera out, it is for demo purpose only XD
Then the cosplayer will take a photo of herself/himself/costumes/event/room/figurine collections/ props etc, write/decorate his/her well wishes for 2011 on the scarf and then send it to ANOTHER cosplayer in either another State or Country.
This snail mail link will go on and on until either
1) camera runs out of negatives/battery
2) 2 weeks before Christmas 2010.
The last person will send it back to me and I will post everything here.
Objectives of this project:
- To come together as a global community to give our most sincere well wishes for the year ahead
- To promote and encourage intercontinental interactions between cosplayers
- To promote cross cultural harmony and understanding
- To inject fun and excitement into our lifes!
Rules & Guideline for participants:
Before you put your name up for participation, read the rules and guidelines below. The rules below are designed to help regulate and ensure the success of this project. If you agree to participate, please kindly abide by the rules.
- The mail can stay with any one person for a maximum of 5 days. Meaning, you must take a photo, doodle/decorate the scarf and send it out within 5 days! This is so that as much cosplayers can be involved in the project as possible within the timeframe=)
- Every participant is restricted to only ONE PHOTO. To allow as many cosplayers to be involved as possible, please leave the negatives for the people after you =)
- The person you send your article to must NOT be in the same geographic location as you are. They must either be from a different country or state.
- Participants who are selected, upon receiving the article (with the disposable camera and scarf) MUST EMAIL ME (elpheal (a) Gmail.com) with the following information so I can update the blogloc for the article =).
Your cosplay nickname:
Country & State:

Next receiver’s name & email: - It is highly encouraged that you communicate with your ‘receiver’ before mailing the article out. Just in case they go on a long holiday or are actually unwilling to take part.
- Please take every reasonable and possible care of the items in the envelope
- There is no limitation to any countries. Everyone is free to join!
- Participants are encouraged(but not mandated) to send small personal gifts of local souvenirs to the next receiver. This is to help promote cultural exchange =)
- Please understand, as this is a non commercial project, shipping fees will have to be undertaken by each individuals
- It is NOT mandatory for you to cosplay in the photo.
- NO blood, gore, violence, pornography or sexually explicit photos to be taken. I won’t publish them if I deem them unfit.

I look forward to seeing the final results of this project!
Just an idea: I would really like this project to continue. If ever I will get in it, I might just put a new disposable camera, send the old one back to Kaika. Dry clean the scarf and/or (if it is full already) send it back to her and put a new scarf (maybe a clone of the scrarf if I can find it.) And start all over again, until that one gets full, then send it back to Kaika.^_^
