The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

Greeting Snupineers! I'm just sticking my head in to remind you all that the sign ups for the postcard exchange are coming to an end so if you intended to sign up for it and have not yet done so get a move on! :) The deadline has been extended to this Sunday at midnight Eastern time. This is going to have to be the hard deadline though for reasons of our lovely lore's sanity when she goes to match people up on Monday. Please consider signing up and if you have any questions or concerns feel free to reply to the link below and we will answer you as best we can. :)

To post card exchange details

So, I had to think this one through for a while, but now the time has come to exchange some postcards and letters of our own!



In an effort to keep this as simple as possible for all of us, if you send in your address for this exchange, you agree to the following:

1. You will accept as your exchange an address from anywhere in the world unless you write me a personal note with a very good excuse in your sign-up. Cost, especially, should not be a factor for you. Most postcards from the U.S. to overseas destinations cost $1.05. Cards are about $1.25. U.S. Residents can calculate postage here. Members in other places, please check the card and letter rates in your area if you feel you are on a tight budget.

2. You will accept a postcard, card, or letter in exchange. Personally, I have many more interesting cards than postcards, and no one should feel like they have to go out and buy something to be a part of the exchange.

3. You will accept that no matter what you write in your exchange, you might only receive back a signed postcard or card (I would hope an actual letter would contain a few lines!). No one should feel they have to write drabbles or stories, or to get personal, in this exchange. The idea is fun and mail!

4. That said, you will be honest about your age and scrupulous in minding the very few guidelines we'll be asking for here. That includes never revealing the address you receive for the exchange, no matter what.

5. You will reply to your assignment email once to acknowledge it and once again when you receive your exchange.

( How to Sign-up )

I'm posting this unlocked, and while I would prefer to keep this to members only, if you're someone I'm familiar with from fandom and you can adhere to a Snape/Lupin, Snape, Lupin, or Neutral theme, you're welcome to sign up.

I only gave the email address once, so I hope you all read this entire message carefully. I made a new email account for this so that I would be the only one to have ever had access to the account. The only people you'll be trusting with your address are me and your exchangee, and I plan on making 1-1 matches (you and another person will be trading directly with each other). This is to cut down on confusion and add motivation to both keep addresses private and follow through on your half of the exchange.

I'll take sign-ups through June 9 and send out exchange emails the next week. You must send your postcard/card/letter by June 30. I know that will only give about two weeks, but that's plenty of time to get a simple item in the mail, right? Again, no one should feel motivated to do anything for this exchange besides finding a good card and signing it. Everything else is bonus. The idea is to get some cool mail and have fun. If you make a new friend, though, that would be swell, too!

Questions, comments, worries? Bring them up now while there's still time to adjust. If this goes well, we could do this a few times a year, but only if you help iron out the kinks. ^_^

love, lore
