I figured with the other tiny threads floating around, we can have just one, main thread where we can discuss all the ideas, volunteers, and whatnot. =)

As of right now, here's the plan: A lot of people really agree to this idea and want to help out. Our goal is to make an Ayumi scrapbook, filled with letters and pictures (and whatever else) from her fans from around the world. The letters can be however long you want them to be, but should also be written in your native language. (Unless you choose to write in English or Japanese; I think she'd love seeing a book of letters from her fans from all over the world speaking many different languages.)

Now that we have a fair-sized amount of people willing to help out here at AHS, we need to start spreading the word to other Ayu forums (AyuChina, AHN, etc) / networking site groups (Friendster, Myspace, Facebook, Mixi, etc).

We need volunteers for each site that decides to help out. The more people that want to participate, the more volunteers we'll need. I recommend that if you want to volunteer, you help out with one site. (We'll probably get a lot of people wanting to have a letter in the scrapbook.) We'll also need a head volunteer, one who is willing to gather all the other volunteer's work, put it into the scrapbook, and send it to Japan.

Each volunteer (or set of volunteers; per forum / site) should gather a list of e-mail addresses of the people who want to help out, then, from either their own e-mail address (or one set up for this) should send out an e-mail, telling those recipients the address to send the letter to.

With each letter sent, it's recommended that you also provide your own sheet protector. (A package of those is usually less than $1.) Also, donations are recommended. It won't be cheap sending this scrapbook to Japan. (Ayu has so many fans worldwide, I wouldn't be surprised if we get letters from four-six continents.)

I will go ahead and set up a list of sites and volunteers who will go and promote this idea at those sites. If you want to become a volunteer, please reply to this and tell me what site you wish to help out at.
