Description:

This Swap is inspired in PostSecret.com:

You will send 1 ATC telling a "secret" to five different partners for a total return of 5 ATC's. ATCs must be standard 2.5 x 3.5 inches and originals only (no photocopies). Any media accepted.

Each secret can be a hope, regret, funny experience, unseen kindness, fantasy, belief, fear, betrayal, erotic desire, confession, childhood humiliation, Things you wish you said, etc. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.

This swap is international. I'll be checking members. If you sign up for ATC swaps and never send what's asked, I am going to Ban you from this swap. Contact me if you have any doubt or explanation (About bad ratings). I am very kind and reasonable, but I want this swap to work out and be fun! Newbies are welcome, but, if you flake, I'll have to ban you from my next swaps.

This swap is similar to Postsecret, which you can see at http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

Also, should our secrets be kept at a PG rating or is "adult" content ok?

MerriAmelie 04/17/2007 #

"erotic desire" seems like adult content :) sounds like fun!

Just a reminder to US senders-on May 14 a regular envelope will go from 39 to 41 cents to mail, you might want to send your ATC's before then and save yourself the pocket change/ trip to the postage office to buy 3 cent stamps.

what is considered as Photocopies? can you print things out on paper from pics off the web or is this a photocopy? What is the Media?

craftywitchygirl 04/24/2007 #

Girls, Adult content is allowed, we're adults and we won't get "hurt" for a joke, will we? You can print things with your computer and use it. I think "no photocopies" means you can't copy an ATC and send just the copy.

My ONLY question is this... If these are "secret ATC's" then we should NOT sign or date these right? We could just write on the back 'secret ATC' 2007 or something along those lines right? Let me know, so I know how to finish these off. Thanks. So eager to see all of them done!

LiveTheChaos 04/29/2007 #

But if we don't sign them, how will our partners know who to rate?

user7983 04/29/2007 #

That's fine, I can sign them. Just really do not see the point of them being a "secret' then. That's all. No worries. This will be fun.:)

i think this is a great swap, but i'm not going to have time to complete it before I leave town... I hope to see it again some time!

user7983 04/30/2007 #

Does anyone know when we will be getting our list of 5 partners? Just curious, because the last day for sign up was yesterday. I know we have plenty of time to do this, but since this is my first time around, I guess I am a bit eager. Hope someone can help a girl out?!:)

LiveTheChaos 05/ 1/2007 #

We have to either wait for the swap coordinator to assign the partners, or if she doesn't, swap-bot will do it automatically after like, three days.

simplysarah 05/ 5/2007 #

so my atcs are finished... do i sign them or not???? since its a secret???? if we have to sign them.... i might make a few more, not so bad secrets!?! i'd love to send them unsigned, but if everyone else signs theres then its still not anonymous... so i might as well sign them!

holmesgal 05/11/2007 #

Carolyn - simplysarah - LMM - Dreamer - Mikkary I have sent out your cards please let me know when you recieve them :)

LMM 05/14/2007 #

My cards went out this morning....had to pay the new rates :(

thiswillbegone 05/14/2007 #

my cards are all out. I did sign mine, and I wrote a little hand-written note explaining my cards and the true secret! :)

thiswillbegone 05/16/2007 #

I received today from Tartan. :) Thank you!

LMM 05/20/2007 #

So I am receiving cards for this swap and they both had a little explanation of the secret. I didn't do that :(

So those of you who get a card from me...

I made them on Mother's Day, so was thinking about my Mom who passed away from leukemia 18 years ago. Sometimes I miss her terribly. So I shared a secret about her illness and death.

Thanks for letting me tell you something I never told anyone!

LMM 05/20/2007 #

Oh, I should say I've received from Mystical and Marissa!

LMM 05/21/2007 #

And from selice.....

LMM 05/24/2007 #

simplysarah 05/25/2007 #

holmesgal 07/ 2/2007 #

Tartan and Sarah Elizabeth I will rate you better when I have recieved something from you - I haven't recieved a thing from either of you.

holmesgal 07/26/2007 #
