Travelling Postcard Round #1 EDITED

Sorry for assigning partners late - I've been quite remiss! I've extended the send date to Monday to allow for this :)

EDITED TO ADD: Please put postage on your postcard before you send it in an envelope to your partner. That means this first round you will put postage on the postcard and the envelope you send it in, but each future round you will only need to put postage on the envelope.

Hi all. This will be a series of swaps, generally run each fortnight. I've seen a number of variations of this swap and thought it would be fun (and cheaper!) to do an Aussie version.

For the first round, choose a postcard to send to your partner. This will end up being yours to keep, so choose one you like! Write YOUR OWN address on the postcard and then one line at the top - The date, your name/swapbot name and the city and state you are from. Then, send the postcard to your partner IN AN ENVELOPE.

For the NEXT round, you will write those same details on the postcard you received from THIS round and send it on to your partner. When you receive a postcard that is full, send it home WITHOUT AN ENVELOPE to the original owner of the postcard (whose address will be on the postcard itself).

At the end of the series, you will get back the postcard you started and can see where it travelled - hopefully it will visit many different places across Australia!

The more people we get to join this series, the further your postcard will travel. Please note there is no obligation to sign up to every swap in the series, but please do join as many as you can to make it fun for everyone. You can also drop out of the series at any time by talking to me and the other swap participants to try to get your postcard sent back to you.

For each round, please try to only fill ONE line on the postcard so as to leave as much room as possible for lots of rounds. Of course, if it's a small postcard you may need 2 lines, this is ok.

When you receive a postcard you send home, you may start a new postcard for yourself and send to your swap partner, or if you do not wish to start another postcard, send a note/letter etc to your partner so that they get something and can rate you.

Please don't hoard someone else's postcard. If you decide you no longer want to participate in the series, please talk to me about sending any postcards you have to myself or to the original owner.

RECAP - First round, start a postcard, write your address on it, write one line with your name/swapbot name, the date and your city + state, send IN AN ENVELOPE to your partner.

All swappers allowed who are in good standing. Due to the nature of the series I will ban anyone with questionable ratings, although I think we will be fine in this group :)

Any questions, please ask :)
