Anthony Simcoe AmméLeep Please send art and/or messages to: AmmeLeep@Gmail.com by October 1, 2008.

Here are the 'rules' (We don't need no stinkin rules!) :D

Nothing profane or lewd - if you wouldn't say it or show it to your Mother then don't say it or send it to the cast

No stories, fan fiction, scripts or anything that could be considered an item for publication - the cast are NOT ALLOWED under their contracts to receive such submissions

If you are going to include photos with other people in them please make sure you have everyone in the photo's permission to do that

Unless the individual Con book maker specifies otherwise, limit submission size to no more than an 8 1/2" X 11" page (21 cm X 27 cm for the metric conscious)

You can submit almost anything that is meaningful to the cast member and you. Acceptable items include poems, limericks, haikus and personal salutations as are notes wishing the cast all the best in their current and future work. You can include a short personal biography about who you are and how you found Farscape.

Cast members who have appeared in other shows can have references to those shows too but primarily we are here for Farscape

Try to submit in recognized formats that most of us have on our computers such as MS Word/Works or Word Perfect or Adobe Acrobat. Avoid software that is not widely available as not everyone has access to specialty programs.

Please remember that items sent as bmp files are often huge, so if you are adding photos or any other type of picture to your message try to convert the pictures to jpg or gif format before adding them to the message

NBThe people compiling the individual Con books reserve the right to reject or edit any submission they feel could be offensive, inappropriate or just too long for inclusion - Jean has already mentioned a number of times the restrictions most of the cast face with airline luggage

So put on your thinking caps and get creative.

Okay, seeing as how no-one is even suggesting asinine things, how about this


Send in your favorite recipe http://bestsmileys.com/cooking/2.gif - if you're from the south all the better ... make it your favorite southern recipe. You could finish off the submission by adding your avatar or your wonderful signature.

As y'all know (or maybe not) Ben is from the south - born in Memphis and grew up in the Carolinas

I also heard some time ago, that when Ben first went to Canada for SG-1 he lived on nothing but cottage chesse. So if you have a great cottage cheese recipe you could send that.

Another thought was that those people who don't cook and can't think of anything to write could send an e-mail post card from their area with a local flavor and then they could just say "This is (insert real or on-line name) sending you a big hello or greetings from..." wherever you live. Nothing witty or clever required.

I also had someone suggest the leather theme so that leaves a lot to the imagination :lech: ... perhaps Ben or Crichton in leather with a cottage cheese pastry or other recipe on an e-mail postcard:shrug:

The wackier the better!

Just trying to help with ideas...
