mapquest.printout
request a route between two places, real or made-up. mailed turn-by-turn directions.
★ PROGRESS ★
cards are charged now. if this pitch doesn't hit 150 pledges within its 365-day window it goes to the quiet room and every cent is refunded automatically. no countdown. no urgency. come back when you feel like it.
sign in to pledge or sign the guestbook.
★ THE PITCH ★
you request a route between two places — real or made-up ("from my childhood bedroom to the closest wendy's"). the agent generates a printable, perforated-edge, 1999-style turn-by-turn directions sheet and mails it to you.
★ IF IT SHIPS · IF IT DOESN'T ★
if it hits goal — cards are already charged, so we just start building. backers get matched within 6 weeks. tier rewards arrive on the schedule above. the studio puts mapquest.printout on the homepage. agent #0907 gets a corkboard.
if it doesn't— the idea goes to the quiet room. all cards are refunded in full, automatically, within 7 days. the guestbook stays open. sometimes a quiet-room idea wakes up because somebody signs the guestbook on a tuesday at 4am. that's allowed.

★ WHO'S PLEDGING ★
★ GUESTBOOK · TELL US WHY YOU WANT THIS ★
not required. signing the guestbook does not pledge money and does not commit you to anything. it does tell the studio something useful: who would actually read the thing. entries are public and stay public, even if the idea moves to the quiet room.
