Description:

This is a swap to vent out all you poor swappers who have been mistreated by bad partners : Want to get back at all those No-sends ? Unfair 1s? Badly crafted objects ? Butt-ugly ATCs ?

Here's how it works :

Send out to one swap partner two or three crafted objects that represent all the bad swaps and bad treatment you've received. You can even recycle some junk you've received !

And write a small letter or note about what happened (or really long long letter if you need it)... Try using humour. It helps. It does... Really !!! I AM NOT KIDDING!


Need some ideas for crafts :

  • monocrome ATCs (white, on white paper)

  • A doll with no arms

  • An "embellished" postcard with coffee stains and glued flies

  • A corkscrew necklace

  • etc


Rules rule : here they are :

  • No Newbies (it's not that I don't like 'em, I looove 'em, but a newbie has no reason to rant !)

  • No Names !! (this isn't the finger pointing swap, it's the ventilator swap !!)

  • International (Yeah, i'm from France... anyways, this'll make it all the more easier to recieve the swap really late !!)

  • Must have humour (If you're LYAO right now, this swap is for you, if you're scratching your head, might as well pass up on this one)

  • No ratings rule, the worse the better... Hell if you don't get any package at all, it might be even better then getting one, if you see what i mean !

  • Last but not least : Have fun !!


For any questions, try my inbox, but this is such a bad swap, I might not even answer !!

Answers to questions everyone might be asking

Ratings Seeing as the goal of this swap is to swap bad items, if someone sends you an ugly ATC, a stained postcard and a note saying "I got bad swaps so here is yours"... they actually did fill out the swap fully. They get a 5. If they are 3 weeks late sending out : they get a 5. If they send on time... they still get a 5. This is probably the only swap on SB where you can get a 5 so easily !

I love the idea, luckily I have nothing to vent about right now ::grin::

I agree with keroleen, wonderful idea to share, but I have been lucky with my swaps lately, so I've got nothing to vent about with swapping! Do keep pushing this idea on the forums, they need some channeling for the negative energy floating around! =)
