Description:

hey there! this swap is for anyone who is a fan of the Doctor Who TV series and its spin-offs, Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood.

you will need to make 1 Doctor Who, Torchwood or Sarah Jane Adventures Matchbox Shrine for 1 partner. please check your partner's profile to see which of these TV series they like. someone may like Doctor Who and Sarah Jane Adventures but does not like Torchwood. also if you have a preference to which one you'd like, please write it in the comments.

click here if you are unsure of what a matchbox shrine is. http://hobbyloco.com/shrines.html and check out some examples on flickr. also, here's a template you can use. http://blog.swap-bot.com/rachels-matchbox-template/

please make it CREATIVE, fun and of QUALITY that you would be happy to recieve yourself. Do not send a matchbox shrine that was done half-hearted and hasty. a sticker and some glitter does not make it a matchbox shrine.

This swap is International. NO recent no-sends. Newbies are more than welcome as long as you have a fully filled profile! (we've all got to start somewhere) and a rating of 4.5 and above for everyone else. if your rating is lower than 4.5 and you've got a valid reason and would like to join, please leave me a msg. please send a msg to your partner if you are unable to send the swap in time.

please REMEMBER to rate your partners fairly

Can't wait till Doctor Who and Torchwood is back on air!!

I'm in. My Doctor is the 10th Doctor so please David Tennant as the Doctor. (Matt Smith is a fine doctor he's just not my Doctor) Torchwood: My favorite Captain is Jack Harkness who I cannot wait to see this summer when Torchwood comes back!

Allons-y

I was gonna host one of these for my group - you've saved me the trouble!!!

Are we talking regular-sized matchboxes? Is everyone OK if I make mine a teensy bit bigger - I've always wanted to do one, but I've been surprised by just how tiny they are.

Also, how strict is the definition of "shrine"? I know some people (i.e. http://gomakesomething.com/ht/shrines/shrine-fill-book/) get really antsy about the exact definition - my idea is mostly shrine with a little fill.

@AmaranthSpirit no problem! i love doctor who and i love shrines! i'm just hoping for more people to join! :)

@Unmutual as a guideline, i think the regular sized matchboxes are fine but if you'd like to make it bigger, tt'd be great too! i'm not very strict on the definition of a "shrine" but i like your idea of a shrine with a little fill! go nuts with it! no restrictions here except that it has to be about doctor who!

can we start with actual match boxes? or are we suppose to make a box from scratch and then make it into a shrine?

Currently I'm in love with Elisabeth Sladen so anything with Sarah-Jane is great whether is Sarah-Jane Adventures or something with the 3rd/4th/10th doctor. I haven't watched the Sarah-Jane episode with Matt Smith yet...

amikins 02/21/2011 #

I would really love me some captain Jack Harkness! im also cool with doctors 9,10 and 11. And if someone really wants to do something from sarah jane adventures id be cool with K-9. If someone really wants to do a villan that would be cool too.

marlz 02/21/2011 #

@amikins its up to you actually. both are fine.

wererat 02/21/2011 #

i'm in too! 10 is my favourite doctor, and i love torchwood and Jack:)

AmaranthSpirit 02/25/2011 #

I love 9, 10, 11, and, if you are up for a real challenge, the Captain Jack/Captain John Hart kissy-scene!!!!!!

tawn 02/25/2011 #

YAY! love this swap~

I don't really watch sarah jane adventures and I really dislike Martha! just saying! haha. :P My fav doctor is 9 and 10.

also MASTER! :)
