redsnake05Sent your parcel? Want some quick fun while you wait? It's time to sign up for a madness round!
I've received my delightful parcel (more about that later!), and TJ and I did some planning for our first ever madness round.
We're thinking that this would be a very short round - no more than three weeks crafting time (about as long as the parcels to and from the antipodes might take), with everyone in a group making things for all the others and receiving something from all the others. Items can be anything you might make for a small, quick gift.
Sign ups: Sign up today! Open till the 14th. On the 14th, we'll email everyone who signed up with the names and addresses of all the others who signed up who are in their group
Crafting: Start as soon as you want! There is no individual matching, though you can personalise as much or as little as you like.
Post: By June 3rd
What can I craft?
Whatever you want, but we're obviously thinking small, quick to make and cheap to send. Since you only have a short time frame, we're not requiring items be matched to the exact tastes of those in your exchange group.
I would love to, but I can only commit to a certain number of participants. What if too many sign up?
We're currently thinking of setting up groups with overlap, like fannish venn diagrams. You set the number of people you're willing to send to and sort that out into groups. The mods believe they can make this work with the power of mathematics.
I would love to, but I have postal restrictions or allergies or can't receive a certain common craft
We will do our best to sort groups by interest as well as by size, but, given the tight timeframe and the quick, light, fun ethos, we can't guarantee that you'll get things that suit and we definitely can't guarantee all postage will be within your part of the world. If you're not happy to receive whatever random mixture you get, this won't be your thing. If you're not willing to post internationally, please don't sign up.
