Neocolours Holiday Card Exchange 2009!
Posted: 03 Nov 2009 10:42 pm
Welcome to the 2009 Card Exchange! I would like to think this has become a Neocolours annual tradition now! I am starting the thread a bit early this year, because Daisy has informed me there is a postal strike in the UK which is making mail quite slow - so dates to mail to the UK might be earlier than usual. For that reason I think it's good to get sign-ups started a bit early!
The rules are simple, so here it goes!
1) You will receive a list of every participant to send a card to (it's not like a Secret Santa where you get one person). Please remember, however, that these people are trusting you with their real names and addresses - please do NOT do anything stupid with this list!
2) Please do not sign up for the card exchange if you don't intend to follow through. It'd be really unfair if you get 30 cards from people but don't send out any yourself.
3) Because sending out addresses to people is Serious Business, you must have 100 non-spam posts in a variety of forums (so not just the Subeta new colors forum, or something - basically, we want everyone to know you) and you must have been a member of Neocolours for at least six months. I know these seem strict, but like I said - addresses. We want it to be a little strict.
To participate:
Please copy and paste the following into a PM for me and fill it out with the appropriate information:
Special Instructions can include things like if you need the cards mailed by a certain date to reach you or anything like that. In the past it's been used to include if you don't want a religious card, but for the past two years I don't think anyone here has gotten a very religious card... so I assume it's not a problem. But feel free to note it if you want!
Signups will end on November 25th this year, which is about a week earlier than in the past. If it seems like the strike clears up before then or there's any issues, we can make it last a bit longer. But this gives you plenty of times to get your list, buy an appropriate number of cards, and get them sent overseas as needed!
I think that's about it! If you have any questions, post here. Or PM me. Or whatever, most of you know how to hunt me down in some way xD
Also, feel free to post on the the thread if you're going to be joining, or for general discussion! We usually hang out here to discuss the cards we get anyway.

I need to drag out the past two years worth and set them up again I do believe.
