So for this swap, you are going to answer at least 20 of the following 55 questions and send them to your 5 partners.

Make sure to use BCC. Don't forget to mention the swap and your username!

Just to let you know, these same questions were done in a swap quite recently.

junemoon 05/ 1/2013 #

Why bother with BCC when it only goes to one person?

Chiara 05/ 1/2013 #

@user2637 I had no idea, I sent a message to StacyReneeArt, asking if she's fine with this. @junemoon I'm sorry, I made a mistake. In the description it is said that there will be 5 partners. I'm fixing it right now.

bizzles 05/ 2/2013 #

Woah! Same exact questions! Did the two of you find these on a site somewhere? lol

Chiara 05/ 2/2013 #

@bizzles Like I said, I found them on Tumblr.

StacyReneeArt 05/ 2/2013 #

Yes, I found these questions on tumblr, too. I thought swap-bot was the best place to get multiple book recommendations while doing a classic electronic question swap with them. I don't mind at all that you are re-doing this swap because it's just another opportunity for me to possibly find new books to add to my to-read list. :)

ImzadiRose 05/ 2/2013 #

Hey, at least it's an easy one. Just pass on the emails written previously for it. :)

Chuchan 05/ 6/2013 #

so I only have to write a email to all my swap-partners? sorry for asking it's my first swap ^^

Chiara 05/ 6/2013 #

@ayuPanda yes, just send an email to your five partners using BCC =)

Aletta74 05/ 6/2013 #

There seems to be some confusion here about the amount of questions to be answerd. 20 is enough to be rated isn't it?

av0 05/ 7/2013 #

I was confused as well, @Aletta74

I left a comment on the profile of the girl that answered 20 questions, letting her know I will rate when she sends the rest of the email. :)

user2637 05/ 7/2013 #

It looks like the swap description says one only needs to answer 20 of the 55 questions.

av0 05/ 8/2013 #

Ah, I didn't catch that. Thank you for pointing it out, @user2637

Chiara 05/ 8/2013 #

@Aletta24 yes, you need to answer at least 20 questions

aurelas 05/11/2013 #
