BPP FAQ

What is the BPP?
ZU's Big Piece of Paper is a community project. We have a big piece of paper. And we're mailing it from member to member so that everyone can add a little something to it.

Where's this thing going?
Check lower in this post for a hopefully up to date list of where the BPP is headed. We're starting in Australia, then headed towards Europe and the UK, and the next stop will be America.

Cool! Can I join?
If you want to join, the first thing to do is to look at the route and figure out if the BPP has already passed your area. If it's not there yet, speak up quick and we can probably fit you into the route! We'd love to see more people decide to join in on this. If the BPP is already past your area, we might be able to ship it back a few towns so that you can get it, but if it's off your continent I'm afraid you're out of luck.

When will this get to my area?
We don't know. Stop asking. Australia will hopefully be done within a month. If we're lucky we'll be done with the UK by the end of this year. It all depends on shipping times.

Help! I'm signed up but I don't know where to send it!
Fear not, innocent ZUer! Chances are that no one knows where you're sending it because our route is not yet complete! But if it is coming through your area and you've forgotten where it's headed, just go ahead and ask in this thread, or PM me or Aly. Or just scroll down and check the bottom of this post.

I have to give my address to Asci? But he's scary!
You only give your address to one other person in this project, the one sending you the BPP. If you have a huge problem with the member you're supposed to give your address to, just let us know and we'll make Aly fix the route. Just be sure to tell us as soon as possible.

Alrighty, enough random Question/Answer.



HOW TO WRITE ON THE BPP

Alrighty, here's a few quick guidelines for when the BPP comes to you.

1. Take care of the paper. Don't spill anything. Try not to contaminate it by picking your nose. Keep it away from slobery little 2 year olds. Try not to fold the paper or put holes in it. This paper will travel alot, and I'm sure that everyone else helping make this work would like the paper to be in one piece when they get it.

2. As soon as you get the paper, post in the Tracking Thread. Include that you've got it, post any little pictures, and let us know when you've sent it off again.

EXAMPLE:
Margar, Lorain, Ohio, USA
Recieved BPP from Lftenjamin on 10/15/08

caption: It's me standing on the shore of Lake Erie with the BPP!!
and look at what Lefty sent me! <picture of what lefty sent me>
Isn't it cute?!
I'll be sending this to Sadi as soon as I get my butt to the post office!
Sent BPP to Sadida, in Akron, Ohio on 10/17/0

New Rule: Each tracking thread post is only allowed one [IMG] tagged pictured. The others should be linked. The pictures are amazing and wonderful, but the thread is killing everyone's computers.

3. We'd like to keep this moving. If possible, have the paper sent within three days of having recieved it. If you have to run it over to a friend's house so they can sign too, we understand that it'll take alittle longer, but try not to hold onto it forever.

4. It NEEDS to be sent Recorded/Guaranteed delivery. It costs more, but that guarantees that it will reach it's destination; and that's essential. Also, it might be helpful to PM the person it's headed to so they know it's coming soon.

5. When writing on the paper, try to keep whatever you write in about 10x10cm. This way there's room for everyone.



Once we get towards the end and there aren't many people left, you can use alittle bit more space I think. Also, keep whatever's written on there UNDER A PG-13 RATING. (That means you Kika!) Don't cover up or write on anyone else's stuff. Everyone deserves a spot. Don't write anything negative or mean.

6. Trinkets and donations. If you want to leave a little something for the next person only, stick it in with the BPP. Make sure it won't make a mess. Don't try to mail a piece of cake or anything. We'll have an envelope (this isn't there yet, but hopefully we'll get one soon?) in the box for anyone who's feeling kind enough to throw in an extra dollar to help cover the shipping costs of mailing the BPP overseas. If you stick in a donation, make a note of how much is in there in the tracking thread, just to be safe.

7. Have fun with it!
