h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I thought I'd stopped by here before, but I didn't see any evidence in the thread titles (I tend to be nicely predictable so I can find old threads) so I guess I haven't... Have a mufflewhump!

I stopped by to ask if your quote at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A80734863 may be used by h2g2c2 to promote h2g2? There is a plan in the works to produce a book with 42 examples of writing (not just Entries--UG entries, journals, and illustrations, as well) as a showcase--and a condensed version of what I linked will be used as an introduction. Since you hold full copyright on everything you've written on h2g2, we need your permission to reproduce it (since we're not the BBC, who already has permission to use anything on h2g2 as they see fit, which they don't seem to have ever actually used...) You can give permission here, or by emailing me at amy_p1 *at* yahoo *dot* com or h2g2c2 at h2g2communityconsortium *at* gmail *dot* come (with the appropriate punctuation substitutions, of course ) Thanks!

Thanks for the mufflewhump

Yes h2g2c2 can use my quote to promote h2g2. I'm chuffed.

It's a peach of a quote.

What about T-shirts with 'UnBland' written on them? I'd pay good money for one...

Did a quick one.

Use if needed.

If you're serious about whatever you may buy maybe being binned, I could give you an address to have merchandise shipped to instead (all funds right now need to go to housing... Feel free to peruse my latest journal.)

Yes totally serious. Really all that matters to me is keeping h2g2 going. I'm just off out now..I'll look at your journal later tonight...and ask any questions if needs be.

Hi..yeah when shop opens I'll give your address for stuff I don't want. It would be stupid to just bin things if someone else can use them. I don't know anyone who might want them in real life as I don't know anyone else who uses h2g2..and I never mention it explicitly. I like keeping it something separate.

I'll contact you when it opens and see what's available. Actually I would buy my t-shirt design of 'Unbland', if its available..but not sure if anyone else would though.

No seriously once its open we'll sort it.

Very cool, thanks!

There's nothing currently in the store that I want I don't know why only a few designs got put up, but oh, well. Thanks anyway--I appreciate that you were willing to pay to have something shipped to someone you barely know

Hey can you give me a link to the store?

And its not about being willing in that sort of way..it's just that I shall be contributing to new h2g2 to keep it going. I'm really not interested in t-shirts unless its something I really want.

And yes I barely know you. But I know enough.

I'll try to find out if other stuff will become available.

It may well do.

Why are you up at 5:40 am?

Because I've been quite affected by the Royal Wedding stuff. I can't sleep. It's hard to explain..but I'll get over it hopefully.

But yeah I'll hold about the t-shirts until I find out more.

I was wondering if you'd gotten up early or if you were up late. I'm 8 hours behind you, so it's quite a reasonable time here. Well, except for PaperKid, who's 7, but there's no school tomorrow, and she's nearly asleep anyway (she gets to sleep on the couch 1 night a week--it's a "big kid" thing she's got to do since Notepad was born 2 years ago).
