The Halloween Love Fest

[tommygirl]

So I had meant to start this on October 1st, but I've been a little crazed, so it's getting started a few days late.

Anyway, this year Target has this little thing called "The Boo Bag" where you buy the set up and the candy and then you just anonymously leave it for someone with a note that says "You've been boo'd, pass it on." It's sorta like Random Acts of Kindness but for Halloween!

Loving the holiday and doing things for people, I thought, "Self, this would be cool if done in a fandom way."

How to Boo:

-Pick something fannish to do for someone (or as many someones as you want) like an icon, a layout, a story, put together a bunch of story recs you know s/he will love...

-Leave the Fandom Boo Gift in your friends email box or livejournal anonymously with the following note and graphic:

"This "Boo!" is for you!
A Halloween treat
From someone you know
Who thinks you are sweet.
You can pass it along -
It's a treat-giving trend!
Or simply enjoy it.
Sincerely, Your Friend."

-Your friends will display the sign indicating that they've been booed and then it's their turn to pass the Boo along.

So let's have some fun with this guys! Let's BOO people and show our love for each other! We've got plenty of time to do something small for each other! Please pimp out and spread the Halloween love!

EDIT: I've updated the note based on makesmewannadie's edits. Originally, I had just used the one from Target, but I like hers much more. So yeah, new note!

This is a really sweet idea. Your verse, however, doesn't scan. Would you consider something more like:

This "Boo!" is for you!
A Halloween treat
From someone you know
Who thinks you are sweet.
You can pass it along -
It's a treat-giving trend!
Or simply enjoy it.
Sincerely, Your Friend.

Anyway, it's adorable, and I hope it works - there's no way I'll have time to participate, but I love the thought!

Ooooh, I like that. I had just taken the Target one off the bag, but yours works better. ::edits::

Thanks darling!

I sometimes wonder who screens ad campaigns, when I hear jingles that don't scan, or see the occasional apostrophe in the wrong place on a billboard. I mean, these people get paid LOADS, right? Or they could just outsource their metrical needs to English major undergrads or something.

Anyway, NP, and I'm glad my nitpicking didn't offend!

OMG this is a fantastic idea! I'm so doing it!

...Are we just supposed to Boo people whenever, or is it supposed to be on Halloween?

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

Yay! And you can boo people whenever up until Halloween! Have fun with it!
