Swap Requirements

• 1 ONE partner

• 1 ONE ATC

• Sender's Choice - You can not rate down for receiving an ATC that is not your style or taste. (That is completely against Swap-Bot rules) If it meets all the requirements of this swap, you must rate a 5. (The giving of ♥s is entirely up to the receiver)

• ATCs are 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches (non-negotionable)

• ATCs should be made on sturdy card-stock material. They should not be flimsy at all. (I added this tid-bit thanks to the awesome question below)

• ATC should be packaged in such a way that it will not be damaged during mailing.

• You can use any type of medium you like...(collage, paints, textures, glitters, embossing etc) stickers should only be used as enhancements and then very minimally.

• Mail on Time (if you send late you could risk a 3...if something comes up contact your partner ASAP. My motto is "Communication is the key between a 3 and a 5 more often than not).

• RATE when you receive. If you fail to rate your partner you will be reported as a non-rater in FOPS.

• FLAKE in this swap and you will be outted in the Public Forums and reported in FOPS.

Special Message to newbies...I am here to help you. If you have a question please let me know. I will help as best I can. However I can only advise...if you send late (or send something that does not meet requirements), I can not control what your partner rates you. Also remember mailing international take a little time...please don't slap a "1 rating" on someone without considering the area it is travelling from.

Even if you meet the rating requirements of this swap, I reserve the right to remove anyone from this swap for any reason. If you have rude replies to your "less than perfect" ratings you will be removed without a reason. Life happens (I get that), but attitudes don't just happen, I think attitude goes a long way on Swap-Bot. If I remove you for anything other than rude replies to your ratings, I will PM you and let you know the reason. :)

I will review this swap every few days and directly prior to assigning partners. If you sign up and see someone questionable, please feel free to let me know.

If by some chance a Flaker McFlake head squirms in I will angel, once you rated properly, if you don't rate properly I will not angel.
