A Global Story Telling Experiment
Folks, I need a little help from 100 people around the world for a little experiment in global story-telling.
What I need from you is your address and a little time.
I'd like to send you 2 or 3 post cards that will be pre-addressed with passages from an original short story on the back. Each of the cards will be addressed to another person who lives as far away from you as possible.
The idea is for you leave to the cards lying around in your town or city: at a museum, at a cafe, in a train station, inside a library book...where ever people meet and greet. The experiment is to see how many of them get mailed or posted to their recipients.
Somewhere in the world, on another continent, in another county, on an opposite coast, a postcard with your name and address will be left lying around. If an when you get it, send me an email with the passage from the story that was written on your card. I'll post the passage on my Goodreads blog to see how much of the story has traveled.
If you're willing to participate in this experiment, please email me your postal address at baggyk@yahoo.com

Update: Volunteers are in from three parts of Canada, Hawaii, Sweden, Germany and England. I still need more & will remind people that the distances are so huge, no one's security will be compromised.

Tons of volunteers in Australia, Dubai, Germany, the UK and Western Canada. Now I need some East Coast North Americans to balance out the experiment.
The response to my Global Story Telling Experiment has been great, but I still need more help!
I need 7 more volunteers and this is a go!
And, it's a go! I'm just waiting for the postcards to arrive so I can write on them and send them out around the world to see if they come back.
