Swap Coordinator:PhoenixSwap (contact)
Swap categories: Themed  Scrapbooking  Crafts 
Number of people in swap:3
Location:International
Type:Type 3: Package or craft
Rating requirement:4.90
Last day to signup/drop:February 21, 2014
Date items must be sent by:February 28, 2014
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

You can still join, also if you haven’t done the previous round(s). This is round 6 of 10

But no newbies anymore because of flakers, all profiles will be checked: no recent 1’s or 3’s

You can also check the forum about this swap.

You will sent a notebook (it must fit in an envelop of maximum 23 x 35 x 3 cm or smaller, the weight should be maximum 100g or lower, so we can keep postage low) to one partner.

In this book you will write or make something creative in any kind of medium.

Here are some ideas:

-your own story or take one over

-drawing, painting, …

-what you like about vampires, your favorite movies, …

-make a collage, with stickers or cut outs from magazines, …

-make a family-tree

-invent something against/for vampires

-who is your favorite vampire

-…

Be creative and use your imagination but the theme has to be VAMPIRES!! You can make it beautiful or even scary, but don’t use real blood!

Use at least one page for your creation but you can use more depending of what you write/make.

After you created something you will sent it forward in a next round or sent it forward in another swap or to a penpal, but you have to let the book travel!

The last person who receives the book will sent it back to the owner/you, so don’t forget to write your address in the book. I also wrote in mine that the person who sent it back will receive a surprise, but that’s not an obligation to write in the book.

Also write your name and/or nickname, your country and the date next to your creation.

I also wrote in mine an explanation about what the idea of the book is, so if someone would pass it forward to a penpal or so, the receiver will know what to do with it.

When sending the book to your partner you will also sent a small -senders choice (it can be vampire related but not an obligation)- surprise (stickers, postcard, ...) so that your partner also has something to keep. Because the book will be forwarded!

You can also use loose paper/pages and make your own book. If the weight of your (store bought) notebook is too high you can take some pages out of it (like I did with mine) if someone sends you a book with a too high weight please contact them first before taking pages out, and off course only pages that are still unwritten!!

Let me know if there are anymore questions & enjoy this round!

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU RECEIVED A FULL BOOK IN THE LAST ROUND?: You’ll have to sent this book back to the owner, so you can’t forward it again in a next round. But off course you can join this round with a new book you bought/created.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DECIDE TO STOP JOINING THE NEXT ROUNDS, BUT YOU STILL HAVE A BOOK FROM SOMEONE?: You can sent it back to the owner, even if it isn’t full yet. Or sent it to a penpall or someone of who you are sure they will forward it. Or ask on the forum if someone would like to receive and forward it. Ideas enough but don’t just keep it at home. Thank you! :)

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE NEXT ROUND IS ALREADY UP BUT YOU HAVEN’T RECEIVED THE BOOK FROM THE PREVIOUS ROUND YET: you can wait with joining until you have received the book, it’s also ok to skip a round, but if you haven’t received a book because your partner flaked it is ok to join with a new book

MORE QUESTIONS?: Please contact me

Wow! How Many completed swaps does it take To quit being a Newbie? I have completed 2, And am being rated on a 3rd. Is this vampire swap an ongoing event? Might I have a chance to enter something similar with Vampires?

Let me put it this way, I am so fascinated by the Vampire archetype I even started learning Romanian For background info on a vampire story I was writing. I love Taking traditional Vampire legends but be warned, I Get my "facts" down firmly just so I Can adequately turn them inside out. But I am always interested in seeing what others have to Say about vampires, whether their stories use A lot of the accepted standards or are less Conventional, far out imaginings.

Let me know, please, if I can participate.

If not, it's ok. I Promise not to bite you.

I am a newbie. I just sent out my first and will have 2 more going out Monday. I would really love to be a part of this swap. How many do I need to complete to be eligible to participate?

PhoenixSwap 02/14/2014 #

@Lori76 I see you already have a lot of good ratings, so normally you should be able to click on 'join' :)

PhoenixSwap 02/14/2014 #

@ReneeW0lf this swap used to be open to newbies but I got flaked in round 4 & 5, that's why newbies can't join anymore for this swap, if round 6 goes well, I will host 10 rounds in total, and swappers can continue on the forum (see link above)

under help you can find the following information:

What is the new user swap limit and why does it exist?

All new users of Swap-bot start with a swap sign up limit and can only sign up for five swaps at a time at first. This limit lasts until they have completed five swaps (i.e. marked them all as "Sent" once their packages are in the mail) and received five positive (5) ratings from their swap partners. (The ratings can be from five individual swaps or all from one swap with multiple partners.) Once a user has met these requirements, the limit is removed and they can sign up for as many as twenty swaps at a time.

We implemented this limit to prevent new swappers from over-extending themselves and to prevent bogus "scammers" from creating new accounts and signing up for tons of swaps with the intent of stealing swap items.
