Re: New Idea... What Do You Think?
I love getting mail!

Re: New Idea... What Do You Think?
I'd be up for this - it's nice to receive 'real' mail - especially hand written letters instead of bills!

Re: New Idea... What Do You Think?
I'd be interested in this Getting my mini-swap gift reminded me how fun it is to get surprised by mail, it really brightens up your day.
As for how best to set it up, I'm not sure. I don't really have experience with these sort of things. Postcards sound nice, but very limtied in how much you can write. Perhaps the postcards can be sort of a speed-date thing to find out who you want to exchange bigger letters with? Dunno.. I guess just diving in the deep end with a proper letter would be good too.

This is a good idea, although it could be greetings cards if preferred (you can write more inside and even make your own card).Ellentje wrote:Perhaps the postcards can be sort of a speed-date thing to find out who you want to exchange bigger letters with?
I think I'll start making a list of names so we can get this set up!

I really like this idea. I'm not sure how good I would be at replying, but I'm sure I can find the time!

I'm game. And I like the shuffling idea, too.

Re: New Idea... What Do You Think?
Okay, so we were going to wait until the mini swap was over (after October), but since people are so excited, shall we get this going now?

Re: New Idea... What Do You Think?
In theory, I love this idea, because I love to receive letters from people, buuuut...I am pretty terrible at replying. Though, I may be better at it if it were from people on this site, because they could always send me a PM and say "Hey-write me back, yo!" Count me in

Re: New Idea... What Do You Think?
Right I made a rough list of the people who've already expressed an opinion in this. Some of you I already have addresses for from the swap(s) but if you haven't given me your address before or it's changed since you last did so, please PM either me or starrley with it!
