Wish You Were Here!

Dear Fellow postal Workers:

As you all know, the Ankh-Morpork &Sto Plains Hygienic Railway has become a great success for all involved. The publication of Mrs Bradshaw's Handbbook has only increased the desire of the average folk to engage in the use of the railway.

I have been informed that we are missing a golden ( read GOLD as in monetary) opportunity to cash in on both successes. It was suggested by one of our staff, Stanley Howler, that we could sell cards through the post offices showing images of each stop the railway makes or place of interest nearby . These can be pre-stamped to make it easy for the traveler to contact their family and perhaps make them a jealous and desirous to travel as well. Envy is always good fro profit.

With the cost of imps these day it would be a wonderful idea for the average person to have a low cost image their vacation spots. Mr. Howler has suggested that we make them unique from the typical imp images thus making them collectable. This will also make them more profitable. I have decided to make this a staff competition with a chance to win a weekend at Quiremouth.

Imagine the Shrine to Epidity, Quiire riverboats, Effing Forest,Shankydoodle racetrack, Big Cabbage Brassica World, even the chalk horse of Arken. Your choice. Perhaps somewhere you would like to see.

The rules are as follows:

One card per contestant No imp images (digital) , can be collage, paint or other medium

Cards must clearly state on front "Wish you were here"! Minimum size 4X6 inches

Please no cards depicting Ankh-Morpork. We all know what it looks like.We want them to leave, not stay.

Use Mrs Bradshaw's most excellent guide as reference for these cards.

Submissions must be in by the stated date A minimum 4.9 rating is required. Any unexplained 1 or 3 will disqualify you from competition.

Now go out there and make the Post Office proud! Your leader Moist von Lipwig

For those of you who are having a hard time getting their hands on this excellent book, I am finding some relevant entries in the L-Space (known as the Discworld Wiki in Roundworld). I will post links here.

Big Cabbage and Brassica World

Landmarks of Quirm

I have yet to locate more detailed descriptions, but I am working on it! In the meantime, check out the L-Space; it is a great reference for swaps!
