I have an idea for a project, and I need your opinion

[goku-lover21.livejournal.com]

So, Red Dwarf has been a huge part of my life, and with the new Series starting up in ONE MONTH I wanted to make something to show the cast and crew how much they mean to me.

But why limit it to just myself?

So here's my idea:

Make a book/Album (not sure how yet) full of pictures and stories from fans to the cast. People can talk about how much Red Dwarf influenced them.

Like Dear Mr Potter but instead Dear Dave.

What do you guys think?

I have no idea how to get started so any ideas/help would be greatly appriciated.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but having read some of the Harry Potter examples, your project may need a different emphasis. A lot of posters here (myself included) are old enough to have seen some of RD when it was originally aired. I can only speak for myself, but I certainly didn't regard the RD crew as role models! More like cool older brothers (Rimmer excepted, of course). ;)

The enjoyment RD gives me is twofold - its sheer funniness, and the fiction it's inspired me to write. I'm not at all ashamed of the nature of that fic, but let's face it, it's not something the cast wants to know about, or should. ;)

I do also enjoy the social nature of this community and the friends I've made, which is probably a safer thing to emphasise. Hope that's of some help. :)

I LOVE THIS IDEA!

It could be a scrapbook kind of thing, and we all send our entries to you (or someone else ^.^), make a book out of it and send it to the official fanmail address. Everyone who made an entry would be asked to also make a small monetary contribution to help cover the printing costs and shipping.

Let's do this!!

I like this idea - I'm another person who got through a very tough time in my life because of this show and I did actually consider writing to Doug at one point to express my thanks but never did it. For a series that gets so much criticism - even within the suposed fanbase - I think it would be right to show our appreciation.

Like I said on Tumblr, I'd love to participate if you did this!

Like a lot of others, Red Dwarf has been a constant in my life since I was tiny and when I was having a rough time, I found comfort in the show and the characters, especially Rimmer. I also met my boyfriend through RD. We've been together for about 5 and a half years now XD
