[Toraerie] write omikuji fortunes!

[Gudrun Skogsdottir]

Greetings all!

Our event is fast approaching, and we have an idea for site tokens, and I
would love to have your help!

So, the way it'll work is that we'll have a box o'popsicle sticks with
numbers and what kind of fortune they're going to get, one of five
categories:
super good, good, pretty good, okay, and surreally-strange-weird!

For each category, per Eyja's excellent suggestion, we'll have a number of
different versions of each fortune. So, I need people to come up with one or
two fortunes for as many categories as they'd like and send them to me by
next wednesday at the latest. I will collect them all and probably pick
around five from each category to print several copies of. They can be
serious or silly, modern or period-inspired! ("your cow will wander off for
a few days, but come back relatively unscathed") They will be printed on 1"
x 4" pieces of paper, so they don't have to be too complicated.

The first two sites below are online omikuji things, so you can get an idea
of what they are modernly. The third site has, at its bottom, info and some
pictures, as well as the five categories in kanji, which we will be
replicating on the sticks and fortunes for our event.

and a funny little comic (with sound! and translation):

They will get to keep the stick (which will have a hole drilled into it and
we will provide string), and can either keep their fortune or 'tie' it to
the 'trees' that we'll have in the 'main hall'!

Thank you in advance for your creative efforts!

IS,

Gudrun Skogsdottir

P.S.: should I post this to the Nordskogen list?
