Alright Folks..

[Pockets]

Israel needs your help. While I am enjoying your company and I can't thank you enough for continuing to come on here, I still believe there are more furries in this state and I think it's time we promote the group. Unfortunately for myself, I have not won the lottery yet nor found a corpse that happens to have a million dollars in his pocket so funds are limited. BUT...my idea will only require minimal costs, which I am not asking you to pay for, I can take care of that. What I want to do is start making fliers for our little group and stick em around DE. There's really only a few things I do need your help with. 1...like any good design, an image is needed to increase interest and attract attention, so the first thing I'd like is if anyone has any art they feel is something good for the flier than post it up and we can talk about whether or not we feel it's the right image. (Of course nothing pornographic or violent, not that I feel you didn't already know this but still...) 2. Once an image is chosen, I'll design the flier (that is if you don't mind me taking the liberty of assigning myself this job) and then you guys can point out shit you don't like or think should be added or whatever. and finally 3. Once a final design is chosen, I can go to my cousin who works at Polytech and she can make copies of it, I just gotta pick up the paper, and for those who would wish to distribute them I'll give you some. Um...please don't do what happened to me and just walk up to some one and give it to them or stuff under their windshield wiper. Putting them in stores and on light poles and such is fine ^_^

Okay so first we gotta choose an image, the only really nonthreatening image I have is this one below, if anyone thinks they have something better to use please feel free to post it, I'm not a big enough control freak to be all like OH NO THIS IS MY FORUM WE'RE GONNA USE MY ART BIATCH!!!...fuck I don't even consider this my forum..anyway here's my nomination or whatever it would be considered.

I think it's cute ^_^ But, maybe something a little simpler to start out with, with the words "Furst State" on it some where. Hmn, I'll jot something up and add it too, to see what you, and the others, think *smile*

[kittensunshadow]

i think the words furst state should def be put on the flyer..-nods-

[Sontock]

This is a stolen idea. And, I only say stolen because it's not my own artwork ;p But I just wanted to submit a general idea of what I had in mind. But, I have an artist block right now. Can't draw worth crap ;__; Not saying to use this idea (cause, if the artist found out, we'd be in trouble ...) but, this is what I pretty much had in mind.

Well we can worry about the actual design later once we get some images in. Hell we can make several different types of fliers, if there's any conflicts of design or images used. Then everyone's happy ^_^ but i think ill scrap the pouncing kitty idea, use something fresh, I just need to think on it.

[Sontock]

^_^ I'm gonna work on something tonight too, I think. *noddles* And yeah, more than one idea could work, too. Decisions, decisions

[flyingfox17]

An interesting idea, if nothing else. Though I do have my doubts. First, not everyone has positive connotations with the word "furry" or "anthropomorphic", so exposing such things to the mass public may not be the best idea. Though my experience with the mass public is that most of them have no idea what "furry" even is (save for a few bad TV shows...). Second, the point of fliers is generally to promote something to the general public, such as an event or sale. We're trying to reach a select group of interest (other furs, in this case). Thus, mostly random placement may not be the best way to find others like those we have here (although it would have a better chance of reaching those with different interests in other regards who we may have missed by going through the currently used channels of communication), or might draw too much interest from those we're not interested in. Posting fliers at furry conventions might be a better, or at least an extra, way of reaching others, although it hits an even more selective group (those able to attend such conventions). Still, it couldn't hurt too much.

Just my thoughts on the subject. I'll still help how I can, if I can figure out how.

*pet pets* Don't worry, any hater that tries to come will be banned without warning or chance of redeeming their self ^_^ But I guess I shoulda been more specific in what I meant about putting the fliers around. It's not like I plan on putting it in just random places. I don't expect a haven for drunks and crab infested hookers like Fairways (I LOVE THAT FUCKING BAR!!!) would be the best place to put one up, so yes I am looking for places that would bring in decent people. For now the places I've picked here are Atlantic Books, Walden Books, Superior Comics, Common Magic, and Underground. So I can take care of the Dover area, Andy's got a little further north, Kane can help in that rehobeth area, and then if any of you nutters ever feel like helping out in your area you can. If not =P not a big deal, I'm quite happy with what we have now but I'd still like to reach out to other DE furs and let em know there is a group of us trying to form something.

Oh and I had an idea last night on an image so when I have off Sunday I can sit and try to draw it out ^_^

Again artistic freedom is allowed, if you get an idea and want to do it, you don't have to look for permission or whatever as long as it doesn't make us look like sex starved furverts or lunatics then go for it =)

[kittensunshadow]

i can put some up at Between Books..i think we'd find some fur's there...huh sontock?

[Sontock]

Probably. *noddles*

[kain]

heh... sounds good.

[Sontock]

I think there is a gamestop in my work's shopping plaza, maybe I can sneak one up around there. And I only say -sneak- because I am no good at asking people about putting stuff up in their windows.

[kittensunshadow]

-giggles-

[Sontock]

Maybe we can try some places further up north, like Wilmington or a bit higher if possible.
