In the description for this swap, it say to create mail art, ..., this is inspired by the Alice in Wonderland story. So, it seems to be "Sender's Choice?"
What if my swap partner, the receiver of my mail art doesn't like the type, style of Alice in Wonderland I select for my mail art?
Will I be rated down?
Love the idea for this kind of mail art swap. I want to create Alice In Wonderland theme mail art. But the recent darker version of Alice in Wonderland I won't be doing in mail art. Will this be a problem for those who sign up for this swap?
Its OK, I don't have to join.

Whippet I think it's ultimately sender's choice for this one, it doesn't say check your partner's profile, it says it's all up to you, so your choice in what art inspired by Alice in Wonderland you want to make :) but please wolfeagle clarify this further if I am wrong :)

Hey @whippet people are never allowed to rate down because they don't like the type or style. The only reason they can rate down is if you don't meet the requirements - send late (some people are really particular about this, others less so), send Wizard of Oz instead of Alice in Wonderland, send ordinary tea bags instead of AiW mail art. Stuff like that.

Yes...I believe ART is Always sender's choice. I create art. not to please my partner, or in my partners preferred style, but rather because it makes me happy. Hopefully, my partner will enjoy it, but if they don't, I still created the art to the best of my abilities,and with love. So, yes, MrsThundercat nailed it, in that this swap is sender's choice...so for this swap...do Alice in Wonderland anyway you want. If you don't like the darker versions, then don't make it dark. And always also rate fair..based on the swap description, not on if the art was your personal style or something you liked. Camelsamba is correct...you can not be rated down because they don't like your art. If you are not willing to receive art in any style or medium, then maybe you shouldn't sign up because there is never a guarantee that you will always like what you receive. For me, I like the variety and surprise that awaits me every time I receive mail art in the mail.
