homemade2homemadeThe Sign Up window for the first Geeky Craft Exchange has now passed. If you missed this window, I do hope you continue to follow us and sign up for the next round.
We have 19 participants!
Hello! Welcome to the first Geeky Gift Exchange! Please cut and paste the sign up form into the comments of this post. We will not start matching participants until April 15th or until we get the max amount of participants for this first round (20). Please do consider promoting the fest on your journals with this handy-dandy banner.
Since this is our first exchange, a little explanation on what we need in the sign ups. First and foremost, the sign ups are mostly for us to find the best matches we can with what people want to receive and want to offer. To give your recip more of an idea of your specific likes and wants, please consider writing them a letter that you could either post on your journal or send to us (tjwritter(at)gmail(dot)com to pass on to your gifter. Gifters, if you need more info, please let us be your go between as well.
Name: We don’t need your real name. We’re not asking you to out yourself. The only person you’ll have to give your real name to is the creator, and that’s only for the post office.
Email: We need one that you check regularly.
Things you geek about: We need to know what fandoms, hobbies and interests make you happy. We suggest that in your letter you get more specific so that your creator knows just what about these things you like the most, such as favorite color, favorite character, favorite song, etc etc...You don’t want a Gryffindor scarf if you’re in Slytherin now do you? Or let's say you put that one of your interests is horses, but you are terrified of unicorns, you wouldn’t want any of those showing up on an embroidered thing, would you?
Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs: Allergies--we need to know all the things you can’t have from food allergies, to scents and fibers. Postal restrictions--are there things you country won’t let be sent through the mail? Sometimes this differs if the packages are sent internationally or within the same country. Simple Do Not Wants--This is the place to put things you just don’t like, crafts you really don’t want to receive. Not into baked goods? Don’t need anymore journals-even cool homemade ones? This is the place to tell us.
What kind of crafter are you? What are you willing to gift? Are you a potter or a woodworker? A knitter or a candymaker? Do you dabble in a bunch of things? Are the things connected by medium? If so, are there things you DON’T do? don’t have to tell us exactly what you willing to give, where’s the surprise in that? But we do need to get a sense so we can best match you. We’d hate to set you up for giving you someone who isn’t really into the thing you want to give them, ya know?
