GIFTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT
Summer Dream:
Summer because, well, that's the season.
Dream because the gifts will center around dreams. These can be dreams we see (Restless and other such episodes) OR dreams that you make up (ie Tara alive, Xander's dream of being with Buffy, etc etc.) Think fantasies the characters may dream about at night.....
Please keep it to the interests of your partner and be creative!!! You could even write out the dream for your partner as part of the gift....
RULES:
1) It is a partner swap. Seems these work out a little better than circle swaps. So we will need an even number of people (myself included).
2) Minimum spending limit is $20. There has been some confusion in the past when it comes to this. If you find an awesome deal and only spend $5 for your partner, yay you! Now go find $15 more to spend! Some people have only been getting one little thing. That's unfair. The only exception to this is a custom. Since parts may be cheaper, one may not spend $20, but the labor that goes into it makes up for that. Of course you are welcome (encouraged) to spend more if you can.
Just make sure that your partner is getting a gift that you yourself would like to receive.
3) Items can be bought or made but please make sure if you buy something used that it is in nice condition! Again, make sure you wouldn't mind receiving the same.
4) All gifts must be sent by the send day! PM me with the delivery confirmation number (required!!) ON OR BEFORE the ship day. NO LATE SHIPPING!!!!
5) You sign up, you give a gift! Please do not sign up if you are not sure. There have been too many drop-outs lately. I can't afford to get 5 gifts this time.... IF THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH DROP-OUTS SWAPS WILL BE DISCONTINUED! So don't ruin it for everyone!
DATES:
May 4th-11th-- Sign Ups (may extend if we still need people)
May 12th-- Partners will be given out
July 3rd- Shipping Date!!!
This gives a month and a half to get your gifts together. This should be plenty of time, even if you order online.

And i also have a question, because my first and only swap was a circle swap: with a partner swap, can we communicate with our partner about it to ask a question (as long as we don't give anything away that is) ? If not, that's ok, i was just curious.
