Description:

Greeting ATC collectors. For those of who who love ATC's and love music, Ive combined them for you in this ATC swap.

You will be making 1 ATC for 2 partners. For your ATC you can have any theme and colours or style that you want. The requirement is that you must include song lyrics in/on the ATC.

On the back of the ATC please write the artist and song title from the lyrics you have chosen, so your partner can look up the song if they are curious to hear where your inspiration came from.

To join this swap you must have completed at least 10 swaps and have a rating of 4.8 or higher. If you have a suspicious amount of 3's or un-explained ones, I may decide to drop you, but I will likely contact you about it first.

Newbies to ATC's are welcome, but please read up on ATC's to ensure that you will meet the requirements of your swap. Follow this link for more information.

I noticed that people who do not meet my posted requirements are still signing up for the swap anyways. If you do not meet the requirements by the sign up deadline you will be dropped to protect other swappers in the swap from flaking or receiving a poor swap.

How much of the lyrics have to appear on the ATC? I'm figuring since the size of an ATC does not lend itself to much then you must mean just part of the lyrics. Correct?

whatsherface 01/13/2010 #

However much or little you need for your artistic idea. There is no requirement for how many words you must use, but it should reflect the song a little bit andnot just EVERY song. Like dont use "the" all by its self allthough it may be in a song.. and dont just use "i love you" because its in thousands of songs.. does that make sense?

Here's another question.

I listen to many bands that many people haven't heard of. Can I use lyrics from songs that are not as well known such as "Bumblebee Tuna" by Mephiskapheles or "Code Blue" by TSOL?

Disclaimer- I will not use the lyrics from "Code Blue." Its a ridiculous song that is mildly offensive. I just used it as an example.

Ok, ty for response on question about how much of lyrics need to be used on ATC. I'm going to give this a try with some lyrics and artwork and see what I come up with before making the commitment. I'm considering using John Lennon lyrics and a sketch of John Lennon that my daughter sketched that is incredibly a good sketch if I say so.

Cool! And yes you may use lyrics from bands people havent heard of. I have alot of local bands around here that i listen to with amazing lyrics and I use them in ATC's from tiem to time. As long as you provide the song and artist on the back of the ATC as stated above.
