Launch gallery slideshow

Group:The Paper Dragon
Swap Coordinator:PenguinParade (contact)
Swap categories: Artist Trading Card (ATC) 
Number of people in swap:17
Location:International
Type:Type 3: Package or craft
Last day to signup/drop:April 15, 2013
Date items must be sent by:April 25, 2013
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

This swap will be both a combination of sender's choice AND receiver's choice.

Sender's choice: before partners are assigned, create an ATC.

Receiver's Choice: look in the swap comments for your partner's word. Now all you have to do is fit that word into your ATC.

Yes, this swap is going to make for some silly or nonsensical ATCs. But that's the fun of it. So have fun, and don't worry if your ATC does not match the word.

Example: I create an ATC that is all shiny and sparkly with butterflies and rainbows. Well, my partner's word is MOLD. Um yeah, that's just gonna look silly. BUT THAT IS OKAY! Do it anyway :)

This is meant to be a lighthearted and fun swap. Just be prepared for something unique to hit your mailbox.

So what do I do exactly?

  1. Sign up
  2. Comment on the swap with your word
  3. Create an ATC
  4. Wait for partners to be assigned
  5. Find your partner's word.
  6. Literally put that word onto your card. Use books, letter stickers, ransom note style. Anyway you see fit to put the word on the card.
  7. Laugh at how silly it may or may not look
  8. Optional: Take a picture
  9. Optional: Share the picture after your partner receives, in the coming soon forum thread

To pick your word: To pick your word, grab a book or dictionary and flip at random till you come across one you want to use. Or you can pick one out of thin air.


If you have questions, I have answers. Hit me with them. And I really hope the instructions make sense! Also, I am giving ample sign up and ATC creation time. Please don't wait until partners are assigned to create your ATC. After partners are assigned, you'll have 10 days to add your word and mail it off.

I flipped my dictionary and found ....

UNSPEAKABLE

My word is Precarious

Can we add other words to our partner's word, use it in a sentence, so to speak?

Love this idea! My word is Future

LahDeeDah 03/27/2013 #

What a great idea! This should be interesting. :-)

My word is: PICKLE

@gooddog56 For this one, I'm gonna say no. Just the one word. A sentence gives too much risk for a non-nonsensical card. And the goal is for it to be totally and completely random. If this swap works and people would like another one, then I will make it with a sentence :)

OK, thanks....

...so I went to Dictionary.com- I had this AWESOME idea to use the word of the day on the website....and the word it gives me is.... werid. Not the word "werid", but a strange word. So I'm picking a past word of the day:

SERPENTINE

...felt like I was playing Baulderdash all of a sudden....

My word is PAST

grammag 04/13/2013 #

Darn it Lahdeedah, I wanted pickle! So I guess I have to go with my second choice, prestidigitation. Try that one on for size. I really wanted to use one of the longest words in the English language, but I thought it would probably take up the whole ATC! Lol
