Sending cards; comment if you want one!

Text stolen/modified shamelessly from [livejournal.com profile] maratini with permission. <3

Post is public and comments are screened by default - anything with addresses/personal info in them will stay hidden.

I'm sending cards out again this year! Leave me your address to get a little piece of mail all your own. I did an exchange last year for Christmas/New Years/winter and it was a lot of fun and fueled my creative spirit. The sooner you comment, the more time I have to think of something cool for you. :D

Details:
- Cards will be send mid-December and will be totally generic/random. If you celebrate a holiday & would like a holiday card, please let me know. Or you can request getting some awesome postcard from who-knows where (at random from a pile of postcards I picked up all around Europe + my lovely state of Virginia), although I can't send a separate object with it is the only downside.

- Request stuff! Anything small that can fit in a regular card envelope is fine - story, haiku, doodle, handwritten letter, photograph, etc. List your top three fandoms/characters and I will see what I can do if you want to be surprised.

- I don't mind if we don't know each other very well, but I do ask that I at least know you & have interacted with you on LJ/tumblr/twitter/some other social network. (If I do know you well, expect awesome.)

- Yes, I really do like doing this. No, I don't expect anything in return. Getting something personalized in the mail is rare and fun, and the price of a stamp is a small price to pay for that.

- It doesn't matter where in the world you live, I will send you a card. Even especially if you live with unicorns.

- Addresses are kept private and I don't hang on to them after the cards are mailed. Which also means if I sent you something last year, I need your address again if you want something this year. :)

OMG YOU'RE A GIRL.

Lawl, no, what I mean is, you're an awesomely fun Mal in Mafia and that's how I help myself to remember LJ friends by their characters. XDD
And naturally most of us are female which just proves the awesome.

We totally should. Lawl. I'l still send you a card though, but we can exchange actual things in person. <3

Howeverrr... it won't be for the next few weeks, as I don't have a second of free time yet thanks to my job giving me insane hours. (Money is good, but I'm gonna crack from stress)

YES. I'm on a cross-stitching craze right now, however temporary. I'd love to have a crafts day. <3

Appropriate icon is appropriate lol

That's cool, I have a lot of school stuff going on as well, maybe for winter break

Oddly enough I've started Christmas shopping already haha, any wishlist requests?
Do you have the DHSAB collection? Have you gotten into anything new? etc. etc.

[identity profile] shinydinosaur.livejournal.com 2011-11-07 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I need more iconspace. XD

Oooh, I've started lists of things I could get/make for people but haven't really thought about myself. The only DHSAB I have is last year's calendar and the movie. As far as new things.. I've gotten into a few things but not really - musicals are hard to shop for and I've already got cast recordings. :P

Uhh. Anything Doctor Who-related will always be loved, although it can be hard to find quality stuff that isn't insanely priced. Or Whedonverse, of course. I own Firefly, Serenity, and DHSAB and that's about it - I've got the Dollhouse comics but I'm not really a fan of the Buffyverse ones.

Anything related to The Hunger Games, that's something fairly new I got into over the summer. Doesn't necessarily have to be the books - I know hardback is pricey.
I also cross-stitch like crazy (it's my new fave hobby, seeya knitting), so maybe if you wanted to get me a few patterns for fandom-related stuff? I've seen some EPIC Firefly and Doctor Who patterns on Etsy and only reason I don't have them yet is I can't justify buying them when I don't have much free time.

Good, I'm glad my subliminal messaging is worki---waiiit a minute.

You will be getting coolstuffs, I promise. :D
Icon may or may not be related.

D'awwww.
Heck yes, you will be getting plenty of love from me. <3

I would not be surprised if I got Who-related things. XD Very happy, but not surprised.

[identity profile] shinydinosaur.livejournal.com 2011-11-10 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hey wait isn't that icon from Buffy. :D
...I never said Who-related. XD

[identity profile] fifthandroid.livejournal.com 2011-11-10 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that, or you're up to no good. And yes, yes it is. I have Buffy icons, yanno.

..And I'm too lazy to switch LJ.
