Colonel Brandon

You have a list – I know you do. Why not share it with the rest of us...isn't it practically your duty to make sure there's a little bit more love, beauty, and appreciation in the world? And just in time for Valentine's Day, too....

Whether he's between the pages of a book or up on the silver screen, a poet, an actor, a hero, a villain, an elven lord or a construction worker, share him with us. Give us some sort of graphic (photos, sketches, cartoons, old yearbook shots, portraits, facsimiles and substitutes are all acceptable) and a paragraph that tells us a bit about him. It can be as personal or impersonal as you like (though try to keep it at or below R-rated details and pictures, and stick to fictional characters! You are free to drool over Mr. Smith as played by Brad Pitt, but for the sake of Brangelina's marriage, keep it fantasy....)

Now, who's the next name on your list? Turn the page and dish the juicy details...

You will prepare three (3) zines (your pick as to size, colour vs b&w, paper, styling, etc.) that features at least five (5) stalwart gentlemen of your choice, each with his name, origins/background, an illustration and some interesting details. 1 zine goes out to three different partners – you'll be getting back three different zines full of fantasy men.... :)

Please don't sign up if you can't complete and send out the project ON or BEFORE time, if you have unexplained 1s or 3s in the last six months, or if you have not completed at least 20 mail (not electronic) swaps. Disclaimer: I regretfully reserve the right to remove any suspicious swappers or known flakers due to unmet criteria, incomplete profiles, or outstanding complaints.

Got a list of fantasy men who make your heart beat faster? Why not share it with the rest of us...in time for Valentine's Day? If you have never zined before, this is a very generously-phrased swap - as long as you have 5 pictures and 5 paragraphs of text to go with them, you can arrange them pretty much how you like! Only two days left to sign up for http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/51332 .... come on down!

OK, folks - since I, your guiltily-hanging-head swap coordinator, does not have her stuff together in time to make tomorrow's deadline.... AND I notice I'm not the only one, in fact I'm in the majority! Sooooo.... I'm making a unilateral decision here to push back the deadline by three days. Just three little days, so no one (including me, blush) has to be 'late' - but of course the early senders aren't penalized in any way if I do that, right? Please forgive me, and trust that you will be getting a drool-worthy little zine nonetheless, just a day or so later!

Kiss kiss and thanking you for your understanding, Your over-committed bard, Judith

You are a life saver!!! I was running behind and starting to stress over tomorrow's deadline...so a big THANK YOU for extending the date! :)

omg thank you! my laptop adapter broke and I am waiting for HP to send a replacement one -- all my stuff is saved on the laptop and i can't print it until it arrives which could be tomorrow or the next day - phew!! lol

Masterbard 01/27/2010 #

Whew! Next time just talk to me, folks - I'd rather give the time than risk anyone getting a 3 from disgruntled fellow swappers. Hopefully everyone is ok with this? Do let me know; I'm still new to hosting and want to take care of 'my' swappers the best I can.

Oh, and a big pat on the back to panda, who got her stuff out so efficiently, according to the Participants list! We'll be so inspired if we receive YOUR zine before we send out ours....er, or do I mean embarrassed?

I mailed mine today - luckily the cord showed up yesterday!! We don't have mail pick up on the weekends in Canada even though the post offices are open (bizarre I know lol) so it will be postmarked Monday! I can't wait to see everyone's dream men ;) xoxo
