Description:

I have been flaked on a few times in recent swaps and I am sure there are others who have been also. If you have then this swap is for you. All you have to do is post in the comments section the item you got flaked on and your partner will send you that item. It is pretty simple.

The Rules- You must have been flaked on in order to join this swap. I will be checking profiles to see that you were actually flaked on so be sure to rate the flaker a 1 or I won't know and will have to remove you.

Also you must not have any 1's or 3's If you yourself have flaked then to be flaked on in return is fair play so I am looking for good upstanding swappers who got a bum deal. I know some of you may have been rated unfairly for swaps that you actually sent. However for now I need to keep this rule as is. While I am sure most of you will be honest I can't count on everyone being honest about why they received their 1's. As for having 3's due to being tardy in sending out your item I will still require you to have 5's only. The people in this swap have been flaked on and I want to make sure the package they get is complete and on time.

To make this fair please keep the item in cost up to $10. Nothing higher than that please.

To address the concerns of partners not being able to make the items that were flaked on in the swap...

If the swap you were in was for a handmade item you take the chance of getting a partner that is not able to make the same type of item. In cases like this I recommend that you contact your partner and let them know and maybe have a back up plan ready. For example if your flaked swap was for a cupcake plushie and your partner can't make this maybe you could agree on a cupcake surprise package or perhaps a cupcake item in whatever their craft of choice is. This way you can still get something relating to your swap if not exactly what you were missing. I am sure that the partners in this swap will be happy to work with you to come to a happy conclusion.

I will make a long due date for this so we have time to fulfill it. Please make sure you send your items out in a timely manner. No Flakers!!!

I was flaked on in the Cherries, Lollipops, Ice cream and Cupcakes swap. You basically had to send a variety of things in these topics. Thanks to my angel.

Watching for now... I'm still hoping my flake will magically appear in my mailbox...

I was flaked on a swap for my mom- "Honor Your Mum". In this swap small items such as a gardening magazine, a pretty blank card, seasoning mix for cooking, etc were to be put together for a surprise for our partner's mother. Sender was to contact swapper for the address. I spent $15 on postage alone to send my swap, and then I was flaked when it came to my own mom! It would make me really happy for my mom to get a small box of treats from a secret friend. Thank you.

I was flaked on by the "swap coordinator" - How about that? The swap was for a Handmade (not store bought) "Color Themed Magnet" using a favorite color from your partners profile - simple enough right? Well, obviously not for the coordinator. Sent PM's and to this day, still haven't seen or heard anything from her.

On my watchlist! I've only been flaked on for one swap but I am being patient and hopeful that my package is just late...Let's hope I don't have to join this swap.

It is a great swap idea, though!!!

bettflow09 06/20/2009 #

Interesting idea....but I think I'll pass. I have angeled for some swappaers that have been flaked on before, but I don't feel comfortable doing this in a swap. What if our partner had been flaked on, say a matchbox, atc, FB or something like that... these things I have never made in my life, lol

Ya'll have fun and good luck:))

I was flaked from my own swap, " A Simple Mix CD Swap", http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/33581 I did hear from the swap person who tells me she was in the hospital and now she is out of the hospital and told me she was going to send me my one mix cd. I noticed she hasn't been on-line for a week. I really think she tries but has a lot of health problems. Thank you for putting this swap together.

solarts 06/21/2009 #

I thought about this swap further and agree with bettflow09. Your swap is a good idea but what if we receive a swap partner who wants me to send her or him something that we never made before? For example to knit a stuffie toy or dottie doll? I have never made before. Sorry I will pass. If it was sending a swap partner something that they would like that I could send, like a variety of choices then it wouldn't be a problem.

Having a one doesn't necessary mean you flaked. I had a guy who I sent 20 photos to for a swap and got a message to thanks then he said about 2 weeks later that he never got them. I think you should investigate their profile as to why they got a 1 or 3. I also noticed some people got a 3 just because they were late but did finally get the swap. It is so much nicer to get an email from the coordinator reminding swappers to send after the final send date or to rate after two weeks.

user6937 06/21/2009 #

This is a nice idea, but it might be better if the partners were matched to the similar themes they were flaked on. I was flaked on an ATC swap so it would be better if my partner and I could swap ATC's. Similarly, if somebody was flaked on getting a set of items worth a set amount, then it would be more appropriate to swap with somebody who was also flaked similarly. This would alleviate concerns mentioned above.

Dibrittain 06/21/2009 #

Note the flake should be around 10 to 15 dollars so putting swaps less than that would only be hurting yourself. Plus crafting ones are hard when not everyone crafts. I will look to see if I have any that high priced of flakes.

CANDY ABC'S FUN SWAP FLAKED ON BY YVONNE NIEDERMERYER(YVONNE1968) SHOW/21055

here is the show # above so you can put it in and look at the details of the swap. It was a candy for every letter of the alphabet. A for apple gum, B for bubbleous, C for candy corn, etc... Party stores always a good place to find candy like zots for Z.

marcsgrl 06/21/2009 #

I have read over the concerns and I agree with you guys on the issues of having to swap something you have never made before. I did not think about that when I put this swap together. I will put some thought into it and re-write the rules to help with those situations.

marcsgrl 06/21/2009 #

I have just revised the info for the swap. Hopefully this takes care of the concerns you all had. I appreciate the feedback and any other questions or comments are greatly welcome.

I was flaked on the Vintage Swap;. This was a more expensive swap so it drove me crazy.

checkerboardskirt 06/23/2009 #

I was flaked on the 101 Things I Want To Accomplish swap. I am hoping to have to drop from this swap if they send anything.

:)

daniabr 06/25/2009 #

I was flaked on the Make-up swap http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/36900

pahasiga 06/25/2009 #

Well, I can't burn CDs, and have no idea what vintage is, for example... It could be easier (next time or so) if there was a choice of swaps to fill for other - maybe like in tag games "name at least 4".

marcsgrl 06/25/2009 #

I never posted the link for the partner that flaked on me so here it is..

it is a good idea for a swap. i have been flaked on a few times but i am so hopefull that i will recieve it in the mailbox. so for now i will watch and i hope you all get your flaked swaps angeled. my favorite saying is.......BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

fakefrownz 07/ 3/2009 #

I was flaked on one of my very first swaps- a Candy swap. Very simple! I would prefer sour/chewy candy. no licorice. Here is the link: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/30172 Pretty sure I've been flaked on for my second candy swap as well, but I'm still hoping that one will magically show up in my mailbox lol

fakefrownz 07/21/2009 #

Okay, so I'm pretty sure that's TWO candy swaps I've now been flaked on. by @tigz and @fairyfufu (who was the host for the swap!) the link for the second candy swap is http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/37184 so disappointing.

I was flaked on in the Classic Book swap. My partner was supposed to send me at least 1 classic novel....I received nothing. :( So disappointing that a person couldn't even send a used book..... I can provide a link or more info on the swap if you need proof that I was flaked on.

daniabr 07/24/2009 #

I have had an angel for my swap now so I will be dropping from this swap.

fiberfriend1 07/25/2009 #

I have been flaked many time :(( not fun and I have done a swap where i sent a item 2 times and the partner still gave me a 1 :( not fair...i was not able to join or be angled because of this. I think its un fair. And always work things through with your partner before rateing.

marcsgrl 07/26/2009 #

Just checking in with you guys. I am so glad you got an angel for your swap daniabr.
