The FFML2 would be happy to host the campaigns if they
are kept simple and do not degenerate into senseless gubification.

This was inspired by my favorite radio station's weekly poll last
week,
asking what cartoon character would be the best candidate for
mayor. Brain
[Pinky and the Brain] won, my vote was a write in for Jinnai
[el-Hazard].
I hereby challenge this mailing list to run campaigns for Anime
characters.
you have exactly one year, i am shopping for a free voting cgi
script, which
will be open from midnight to midnight on November 3rd, 2000. [dont
say that
that's slightly less than a year, because you're getting an extra
day on
29Feb.]
The voting page will be open to the entire internet, and advertised
via icq
starting one week beforehand. you are permitted to run your
campaign
anywhere you want to, but make sure that you run it primarily on
the FFML or
your character will probably not appear on the ballot.
by the way, i expect at least one campaign for Jinnai, and
hopefully at
least one for Nabiki. but the rest of you can do better then that
While this is an interesting enough idea, I must point out that this
list
is for anime and manga fanfiction. It is not for large-scale
meta-projects
such as this. Most of the subscribers are here to read, and
occasionally
post, anime and manga fanfiction; not to read dozens of weekly
variations
on "Vote Pikachu" or otherwise for an entire year.
The FFML is not the appropriate forum for something like this.
Rebeka
Thomas and anyone else interested in participating in this challenge
are
welcome to conduct their campaigns elsewhere, but not on the FFML.
There
are numerous message board scripts/services that would allow those
interested to watch the progession of the campaign, while freeing
those on
the FFML from having to wade through the voluminous amounts of spam
a
year-long campaign would produce.
To make it absolutely clear: no political campaigning on the FFML,
even if
it is for anime characters.
