I was all set to gift my eleventh recipient this morning, when I decided to do something totally different instead. I spent the rest of the day developing and implementing my new idea. I am very excited to share it with you, and a little nervous too.
The big development is this: As of today, YOU can start nominating people for ME to give gifts to. How cool is that?
I am honestly not sure if this a good idea, or a spectacularly bad one. It’s a grand experiment, and I want YOU to be a part of it.
The new page is titled “Nominate a Recipient“. To nominate someone, just read the page and fill out the form. Then, once every few weeks or so, I will choose one of YOUR picks rather than one of mine. I figure it’s a wonderful way to treat two people at once; both the person who receives the gift, and the person who nominated them.
I don’t know if this is anything people will be interested in. I do think it’s an idea with potential. Can you imagine a page filled with nominees, where any reader who wanted to donate to a particular person could do so? Or how about posting a poll and declaring a “reader’s choice” week? Fun!
We’ll see. I figure it’s at least worth seeing what happens. Feel free to spread the word around about this: I’d just love to be able to give all the wonderful and deserving people of the world a place where they can shine!
Have a wonderful day, and Happy Elfing!
