Description:

Sorry, USA only as these could be heavy boxes.

Oklies...I loved the idea of a media box swap ...but wanted to go smaller....soo...a sampler!

For this swap, you will send your partner:

  • 1 book

  • 1 movie (bought, used--but in good shape-- or burned is fine (only if they are in the public domain and not illegally copied -- for legality's sake)

  • 1 magazine

  • 1 CD or burned music CD-R (preferrably burned from your own CD's, but can be burned from songs available in the public domain and not illegally copied--for legality's sake)

  • and 1 PC game (please post if you don't play PC games, or if you also have other gaming platforms you'd accept games for) -OR- 1 duplicate of any of the previous items (for example....2 different books....not 2 copies of the same book)

That's 5 media items (all in good useable shape)in a box to your partner (send extras for hearts!). Feel free to send a letter with explanations of why you choose what you sent, if you'd like :^)

POST below with any type of book, movie, mag, music, you absolutely dislike...limit 1 type/genra per item...ex: cookbook, horror movie, industrial, goth fashion mag, role playing game,etc.

(BTW....the examples are NOT by any means an example of my dislikes grin...just examples)

You can post preferences, to help your partner get an idea of what to send, but you are not required to stick to partner's preferences.

Please be considerate, and contact your partners before giving poor ratings. They don't always know when things come late or not at all. And contact your partners if yours will be late.

As a guide,

  • rate 5's if you get everything as you should,

  • rate 3's if you're missing 1 thing (but contact pt. and change rating if they resend the missing item)...-or- if you receive everything, but not 'till after February 29th (yay LEAP Year!), 2008 (that gives 3 weeks for the mail to get it to you)

  • Rate 1's if nothing comes after March 6th and it has to be angeled (feel free to change it to a 3 if it comes super late)

I am going to set a limit of 4.5 and above, and I will check profiles for ratings and drop (after contacting them first)any who don't "qualify" for this swap before assigning partners.

No Newbies for this swap (it's a larger swap), but I think I will try to re post this swap in the near future; so anyone interested that can't do this swap now will have time to get ratings or get them up for the next :^)

Because this swap is a bit on the bigger side, I will make every attempt to find angels or do so myself, for any swaps that don't come through. If you don't get your swaps by MARCH 6, 2008, please contact me so that I can remedy the situation.

Have fun everybody!

Is this swap international, or US only?

I'm worried about the burned music CD-R and the burned movie - usually that is copyright infringement... If a requirement of the swap was that people only send those if those items are in the public domain and not illegally copied, then I'd join...

Swan....done....thanks for pointing that out :^)

Thanks lilkye. now I have signed up :)

I don't like horror or erotic movies/books etc.

For that fifth item, I'd be especially happy with a second book, but of course it's my partner's choice. If you decide on a game, we have Windows and Linux operating systems running on our computers.

Preferences: I love non-fiction and books based on true stories... Movies: Great animations, documentaries, etc... Magazine: Nature, travel, crafting (especially papercrafts and scrapbooking), photography... CD: Classical music, Christian contemporary, world music, anything that's not crazy loud ;) ,,, I don't play PC games much. If I do, they are usually Puzzles like Tetris. I used to have a program simulating an aquarium on my old Mac, I'd love something like that for my new Linux box (not necessarily with fish, other nice animations would be great as well). For more ideas, have a look at my profile.

I think I'll let my partner choose.............

well, i'm pretty easy. i like books and wouldn't mind getting more than one (preferably something you enjoyed reading). i don't play PC games, but do have a PS2, Wii, and Xbox360... and a gameboy. i love music too, so a mixed CD would be awesome too. crafting, cooking, and travel magazines are always appreciated too. and i love movies, especially foreign films and cartoons. :) thanks!

duh, I can't believe I totally spazzed on the US only part.... geesh....somedays I'd be better staying in bed. Sorry for the senior moment there. I'm all cleared up now. Probably didn't have my glasses on, and it's amazing how much I miss when I don't have them on.

My profile pretty much tells it all about my likes and dislikes. But I really don't enjoy romance books. And I really don't like western or erotic movies. I don't really play computer games but my hubby and kids do, they love fantasy games, however I do enjoy artsy/creative (card makimg, etc) pc things.

Brittercat 01/27/2008 #

I really like "gossip" mags and craft mags.As for books I like all kinds especially "cosy" mysteries.Computer games I like puzzle games and fantasy games.The only kind of movie I don't like are really bloody or violent just for the sake of being bloody or violent such as the Saw movies.I like all kinds of music but especially 80's and Hawaiian.
