Cill Exchange: Samhain '11
« on: August 02, 2011, 02:19:24 pm »
Happy Lughnasadh/Lammas/Loafmass/Lugh day, everyone! ;)

This is the opt-in thread for the Samhain exchange! Our theme, as voted on here, is poetry. All members of the cill are welcome to participate, and there will be more exchanges in the future if you can't do this one! You can make anything you'd like for the exchange, but try to keep Brighid and her role as a poet in mind.

To join the exchange, just post here please read Aster's instructions in the third post of this thread! The wonderful Aster Breo will be handling addresses and informing everyone who their recipient is, so she'll post here with instructions when she has a chance.

Unless someone objects, I'm planning to handle this exchange the same way I've handled the Imbolc exchanges.

If you want to join the Samhain exchange, please post in this thread AND PM me with the following info:

1.  Your TC screen name
2.  Your "real" name -- the one that should appear on the outside of an envelope or package mailed/shipped to you
3.  Your mailing address
4.  Whether you can ship internationally (this is important, since shipping internationally can cost a lot more than domestic mail)

DEADLINE to PM me with your info is September 15, 2011.


I'm asking for participants to post in this thread as well as PMing me, so I can make sure I receive all the PMs.

Right after the deadline, I will do a random draw (well, mostly random -- I will have to account for people's preferences regarding international shipping).  I will PM you the name and mailing address of your recipient by September 30.  That will give you about 2 weeks to get your poetry-related exchange gift into the mail, allowing plenty of time to arrive by Samhain (October 31).

If anyone sees any problem with this plan, please let me know ASAP.

This should be fun! :)

Thanks!

One point I forgot to make in my "instructions" post above:  With the obvious exception of providing participants' names and addresses to their exchange "sender", I will keep ALL information private.

I will not post any names or addresses in any threads.  I will only communicate that info through PMs.

If anyone is concerned about the privacy of PMs, let me know and I will use email for those messages.

You can also find my ramblings at my blog although I\'m not the best at regular updates.  I\'m working on fixing that. Or look for me on FB here or Google+ here. :)

Question about the poetry theme:  Is the goal to *write* poetry?  Find, purchase, and send a special book of poetry?  Create some kind of craft or art what somehow invokes the idea of poetry?  Something else?

I'm just wondering how everyone else is approaching this project.

Thanks!

Question about the poetry theme:

 
The way I was envisioning it, everyone would create something with poetry as the theme. That could be art, or a craft, or a poem, or something else. I, for one, will be doing a craft of some sort, as I will not inflict my poetry on cill members. ;)

I'm not quite sure how to approach it yet. I have written poetry in the past but I'm not sure it's of a standard that I would give to someone. I'm not quite sure how to work the theme of poetry into an art or a craft. At the moment I'm just asking Brighid for inspiration. I'll let you know what I come up with ;)

Please do!  :D:

I'm not much of a poet either, but I'm confident that something will come to me.  Eventually...  Hopefully before the deadline... ;) :cf:
