Hi everyone, this post is an out of the ordinary blog post intended mostly for facebook friends. I am looking for some volunteers to provide a sort of time capsule service in exchange for free books and probably a free gift, which I currently think will be a jar of cookie butter, a bag of coffee, and one of the new grocery style containers of Chick-Fil-A sauce.
The favor I need is for at least a few people, and maybe as many as ten or twenty, to agree to receive a box of my books in the mail, probably in January, and then just place the sealed box in a closet for the next few years. I would hope to also sometimes include a flash drive with the files on them in case the books ever need to be republished. To me, this could imply some informal licensing rights for whoever believes that they or their kids might really be motivated some day to republish these books if they are ignored too severely before I die.
I think there are a few levels of participation in this Time Capsule idea, and if anyone wants to email me your address or send it in a facebook message, I will add you to the list to receive some books some time probably in November or January:
smefird5@gmail.com or send a facebook message with your address.
participation levels:
Level 1: 5-7 free books to read and keep on a bookshelf like normal books.
Level 2: 10-12 books to store with the intent of preserving these books for a later time if no other copies can be found.
Level 3: being a core Time Capsule person with a collection of 20-30 different titles by Refried Bean to keep in a box for years.
Level 4: all 35-37 books, a flash drive with backup files, and being considered as a guardian of a Christian literary legacy that could impact future generations, possibly willing to meet with other Time Capsule people years from now to prevent total destruction of the writing itself if political strife causes a ten to twenty delay for appreciation.
Level 5: free books for teachers or other education and social work people interested in helping with the process to donate them to schools and classes.
