Miskatonic / Arkham Appreciation Society

This swap is for all of the alumni (or more correctly all of us who wish we were alumni) of Miskatonic University. How I wish that I could have strode those hallowed halls created by the beloved H.P. Lovecraft, the father of modern horror and weird fiction. In the absence of there actually being a Miskatonic or an Arkham, for that matter, I decided to create this swap.

For this you will create a package of Miskatonic themed items. At a minimum the two required items are this:

Create an orientation packet or a school days scrap book. The orientation packet could include things like a student card, library card, Arkham drivers license, class schedule, etc. Or conversely, student mementos you would have collected throughout your years at Miskatonic and living/working in Arkham, Mass. A packet like this should be fairly easy if you have access to a printer and use the below mentioned website.

Secondly, a handmade Lovecraft/Cthulhu themed item (and no, the stuff you make for the student packet doesn't count). It is your choice what you make, so if you love making dotees, ATC's, crosstitch, crocheting, postcards, or whatever, go ahead and make it with tentacles. If you're not a crafty type of person, buying something is fine too, but try to make it yourself. :P

Some good reference websites are:

This website is an awesome source for any paper documents (such as the aforementioned student cards, DL's, degrees, certificates of insanity, death certificates, etc.) and period fonts.

Ok, so now for the usual blah blah blah stuff. Must have a minimum rating of 4.5. I might be willing to go lower if you have a good reason for it. Same with any 1's in the last three months. I will be reviewing profiles as people sign up and if there is a history of flaking I will boot you off of the swap. This one is too involved for anyone to be flaked on, however, I will angel if it happens.

Ok, so if anyone has any questions put them in the comments, I'll be checking and responding regularly. I've given a long time between the cut off and send dates so people can have a long time to get everything together.

And a little bit of trivia: The send by date is HP's birthday!
