NOTES

I know it's a busy time of year so I made it due after the holidays. Maybe you can work on it while waiting in lines! And if anything changes you can fix it after the holidays. :)

I will be more lenient than usual about allowing newbies and those with bad ratings because I will angel. Newbies must have well-filled out profiles with a minimum of 4 decent sections or paragraphs.

Because of the long sign up time, please make sure you have logged in a maximum of 7 days before the sign up deadline. I may make exceptions for seasoned swappers with a 5.00 rating.

I will angel after you contact your partner (or try to) at least twice, receive no or a negative answer and rate a 1. If you were already my partner, I'll pass along someone else's answers.

Full disclosure. I found the first 20 of these online with no credited source. I modified some and authored the last 10 myself. I'd give credit and/or ask for permission if I knew who to ask!

@thebragal Have you considered assigning more partners for this swap? Most e-swaps have 3-5 partners, and you just BCC their names for privacy. It's easy enough to add more, provides more positive ratings (to help build them up), plus it's SUPER FUN to see more than just one person's answer...I love to see what different people have to say. Does anyone else agree?

mysnailmailadventure 11/29/2017 #

I have to agree with @Helena8664 🙂 it sounds like a great idea! It would be really nice to read what other people have answered for these questions.

thebragal 11/30/2017 #

Thank you for your notes. Yes, that was a mistake. Adding more partners now.

Hsing 12/ 4/2017 #

Hello, by stating 'last year' we are referring to 2017. Is that right? (As in the question"What song will always remind you of last year.")

Hsing 12/ 4/2017 #

ahhh I saw that in the description, I am sorry to repeat the question. (Last year =2017, this year =2018)

thebragal 12/ 4/2017 #

Yes, by doing 'last year' and 'next year' then swap is easier to copy and paste from year to year. All I have to change is the top part!

thebragal 12/ 4/2017 #

Wahoo! Top 5! Thank you everyone!!

Hello, I'm new to swapbot and I have a question. This is my first swap I've signed up to. It says number of swap partners are 4, but I want to know how do I find out who my swap partners are? I can't seem to figure it out. Thank you.

Scarlitt 12/22/2017 #

ancientgreed the partners haven't been assigned yet, not sure why not as the signup date has past. on the upper right where it says swap member options the view partner option will be there once host hits assign partners button. Maybe check after Christmas as some people are traveling, busy with the holidays. Welcome to swapbot - I'm pretty new too. I would just check back every few days

ancientgreed 12/23/2017 #

Oh okay, thank you Scarlitt!
