Description:

Much thanks to @mleerobb and @pobuffy who established the public swaps and inspired this one for our group.

This swap is limited to 12 people, one for each month of the year, and will take place throughout the entire year. We're going to be celebrating birthdays in a big way.

Each month you will send a birthday gift package to the person who has a birthday that month. You will be matched with 11 partners, one for each month (except your own birth month). In your birthday month you should get 11 gifts, one from each person in the swap. That's a sweet birthday party!

All packages should be postmarked by the 10th of the month to ensure delivery during the birthday swapper's month. If you know someone has an earlier birthday, aim to get your package out to them in time for the actual day.

The present you send each month should be wrapped, profile or writerly based and have an approximate value of $4-$8. Include a birthday card with your name and the swap name.

You will be rating all 11 partners. Rate as you receive -- not at the end of the year!

The swap will close when all of the spots are filled. Only one person per month is permitted. You need to have your birth date on your profile. I'll gather all the dates and send reminders to everyone during the year.

Post your birth month below. The first person who claims a month will have it. I'll fill in the calendar as months are claimed.

International officers, feel free to post international versions. Other officers, once all 12 dates are filled in this swap, someone can start a Round 2.

I will angel, but everyone in Write Now is vetted so there should be no flaking.

Questions/concerns: post below.

The birth months:

January: Omi

February: smadronia

March: Merlainne

April: StarryCat

Vanovelist 12/24/2014 #

If nobody takes November, my new grandson was born on November 12. Can I do that?

Artistic 12/24/2014 #

Vanovelist: it should be your birth month.

developpeople 12/25/2014 #

November is open and my birthday is the 21st. Must be meant yo be.

Artistic 12/25/2014 #

We are full writers! This swap is now closed.

Artistic 12/25/2014 #

Partners will be assigned this weekend. And I'll send out a list of everyone's birth date.

Remember, you'll be sending one birthday gift each month and receiving 11.

Artistic 12/26/2014 #

All: we're waiting on two swappers, one who posted a month but forgot to join and one who joined but has no birthday posted.

Our January swapper's b-day is Jan. 1! So if you have Omi's address from previous swaps, you can send now. I'll get partners assigned just as soon as I hear from the two swappers with missing info.

Artistic 12/27/2014 #

Partners are assigned. Let's get this birthday party started!

developpeople 01/16/2015 #

Do we mark sent after each month or once we've sent them all?

smadronia 01/18/2015 #

From what I understand, you mark the swap sent at the end of the year, and you post in the forums when you send out your goodies to people.
