711_Disciple Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 no but it says not all are gonna be sent to green day though The goal is to create, as Arian put it so well, a "cooler PostSecret book". The only reason we would "cut" any is if our self-publishing client had a page limit that we exceeded, in which case we'd find a way to work it out. As for being "sent to Green Day", we may try that in the future, but right now this is simply a Green Day community project to really appreciate how much they've impacted everyone who calls themselves a dedicated Green Day fan.
Linny Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 I just sent my letter. I think this is a great idea.
iloveyouisntenough Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 This is a great idea. I deffinitely plan on participating, and really hope it all happens! And with good support from everyone I bet it will
GreenDayGeek33 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 This is a really great idea! I'll get started on my e-mail as soon as possible!

minorty13 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Wow, this is amazing. I love hearing stories like this so I can't wait to contribute/view!!! Gonna go get started on my e-mail

Well maybe we can find a way to get it to Green Day. It would take some serious effort, but you never know. Some people on GDC have major connections. ;D
ScreamsInSilence815 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 This is a great idea!! I'll definitely try to send something in.
Supermodel*Robot Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 It would be cool if we could print books, kinda like postsecret, and publish them. I know the Hedley fanbase made one and they're sold in HMV & Chapters and random book stores. This idea came up about a year ago, but I don't really know what happened to it actually happening. edit: http://www.amazon.ca/Hedley-Fan-Lowdown-Karen-Bliss/dp/1894917758 So it seems that the Hedley book was initiated by Hedley themselves or a music publishing company, so it would probably actually be quite hard to get printed if we wanted. However, I'm sure someone around here has a publishing connection (there are over 30,000 of us)and if we could put together a legitimate book, we could have ourselves a case. If not, it'd be cool to just print off three copies to send to Green Day themselves.

Again, someone should ask Andres to mention it in the podcast.
711_Disciple Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 I really hope people get involved with this. Again, someone should ask Andres to mention it in the podcast. I nominate you!
Pedestrian9394 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 I nominate you! Andres is probably getting annoyed with me. I've already emailed him about the mustard story. xD lmao

Well, we've been looking into self-publishing for now, so that anyone who wants a copy can order one, but we don't have to worry about printing off 1,000 or so and having to recoup the cost. Down the road, who knows? For now I'm just excited to get some letters, hah!
st.idiot Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Well maybe we can find a way to get it to Green Day. It would take some serious effort, but you never know. Some people on GDC have major connections. ;D i know someone on here who knows where billie joe lives
711_Disciple Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 i know someone on here who knows where billie joe lives Um....maybe we should try a different course of action.
st.idiot Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Um....maybe we should try a different course of action. hahaha i meant i could ask her what the address is to give to someone who's in charge and mail them the idea or book or something
Supermodel*Robot Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Um....maybe we should try a different course of action. First...this. And second: he moved. Most likely due to ideas such as fans sending random shit (or themselves) to his house. No offense.
musse Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 I love the idea I'm gonna start working on my story later.
Punk-tastic32 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Awesome! I'll definitely be working on something for the next few days. Is there a deadline to get them in by?
reckless Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 That's an awesome idea, I definitely wanna participate!
711_Disciple Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Awesome! I'll definitely be working on something for the next few days. Is there a deadline to get them in by? Awesome! Please do. We're cautious in setting a deadline just yet because we're still in the early get-the-word-out stages, and we want to give people enough time to perfect whatever they want to submit. We'll keep the site updated, though!
Pedestrian9394 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 I'm gonna email Andres later. I'm really happy that so many people are thinking of sending stuff in. =D
