thelearnedcat@yahoo.com AboutThis community is dedicated to the members of the Omikuji Project--a place for them to discuss, debate, and connect through the monthly stories that make up the backbone of Omikuji. Post anything you like, on your off-topic, from themes in the tales to fanfic to ideas for scrapbooking the mailings. This is your place, do as you will with it.
Membership is limited to subscribers.
The Omikuji Project is an experiment in cyberfunded art. It is an old-fashioned approach to new-founded literature, the shortest path from author to reader. It is a secret and marvelous communication, a unique way for you to read stories unavailable in any other venue, in any other way. It is a network of tales, a community. It is whispering in the dark; it is a fireside confession.
On the first of the month, subscribers will receive either a PDF or a mailed letter containing one short story not less than two-thousand words, a small piece of illustrative art by the author (and occasionally by her friends), and any other literary flotsam I can find to send you. The mailing, however, is the heart of the project: printed on high quality archival paper, autographed, and sealed with a scarlet wax stamp, they are stunning collectible artifacts.
In honor of the sacred lottery of the Omikuji, each month, a random subscriber will be selected to receive a unique gift along with their email or mailing, which will change from month to month.
The stories will not be published in other arenas, so this is the only way to read them. I will continue this project so long as a minimum number of subscribers are interested (approximately 30).
