Description:

You will send one inappropriate blackout poetry ATC to one partner. How inappropriate is up to your discretion!

Blackout poetry (or found poetry) is taking text (like from a book page) and obscuring parts or cutting out specific words and phrases so that the words say something new. I recommend googling for examples if you are unfamiliar. This can be difficult, be sure you give yourself enough time!

The focus of your ATC needs to be blackout poetry, although embellishments and decoration are encouraged. Otherwise, any media is allowed. You are not obligated to look at your partner's profile before starting your art, or take their preferences into account. This is senders' choice within the theme.

Send a nicely made ATC. Go to some effort. Stickers should be embellishments at most and NOT the focus of an ATC. Otherwise, any media is allowed. ATCs are 2.5 x 3.5 inch rectangles. Do not send someone else's ATC you've received, make your own for this swap.

I believe no one should host swaps they aren't willing to angel themselves. I will angel if necessary, but I screen participants very carefully to minimize the risk of flakers getting in. I will remove participants with poor ratings, late swaps, drama, nasty comments, or other swapping history that concerns me at my discretion. If you have any negative swapping history and want to participate, please proactively message me to explain. Otherwise, I may ban you with no notice if I am suspicious. And I tend to be suspicious and protective of my swaps. :)

Because of delivery issues, multi-profiler/flaker concerns, and site policies I require real names. If you join a swap of mine with a fake name or no last name, you will be asked to fix it.

An ATC is pretty small - perhaps a postcard size would be better, so that you could actually use a book page?

I feel like PCs would be harder! I usually cut up novel-sized pages that would be pretty small for a postcard... Blackout poetry PCs could be fun for a future swap though!

Watching for now ;)

I agree with User6937. But I'll probably give it shot. Hey, any opportunity to be inappropriate....
