Title: February's Mystery Swap


cheesygiraffe - January 22, 2008 08:08 PM (GMT)
It's almost time for another mystery swap. I'm thinking about starting it around my Birthday, the 15th, or maybe the next weekend. Anyway, I was wondering what sort of mystery swap everyone wanted. Tell me...

HoserLauren - January 22, 2008 09:23 PM (GMT)

CO-ZY! CO-ZY! CO-ZY! :lol:

elsi - January 22, 2008 10:35 PM (GMT)
OK -- what's the difference between the 1st option "any kind of mystery" and the 3rd "either" ?

Is the first option supposed to be "any mystery except a cozy" ?

Either means they don't care if it's a cozy mystery swap or anything goes mystery swap. ;)
ETA:
Any kind of mystery includes cozy.

AlterEgoZoe - January 22, 2008 11:07 PM (GMT)
I'm game either way!!

boomda181 - January 22, 2008 11:17 PM (GMT)
I have books either way! So whatever goes, I am flexible....

luckaye - January 22, 2008 11:17 PM (GMT)
I'm easy - either is fine for me as I have plenty of mystery books in all sorts of genres! :giggle:

AceofHearts - January 22, 2008 11:27 PM (GMT)

Ah, sheesh! I was so excited to vote for COZY MYSTERY that I clicked the first box ("Any") :cry:

I've been reading cozies lately :wub: and have a couple that'll need new homes ... soon! :wink:

HoserLauren - January 23, 2008 01:13 AM (GMT)
Maybe.... sometime there should be an anything but cozy swap (since it's obviously not going to be next month :lol: ). Not an anything mystery swap - cause that ends up being a cozy swap too :(

Cause I hate cozies :bash:

That's a good idea. If next month ends up being cozy mystery :giggle: then the next mystery swap will be any mystery but cozy. :wink:

This question comes up quite often. Me thinks we should get this into the FAQ post at the top of this form. :grin:

Just a suggestion Cheesy - maybe do something like Shaunie is doing with the SciFi/Fantasy swaps and alternate - Cozy/any kind/not cozy/any kind/cozy/any kind/not cozy/any kind/etc.

:shrug:

I have been doing that Pepper. :rolleyes: :lol:
I just lost track of what the last mystery swap was. :blush: Oh it was a Christmas one so it was special. :wink:
But anyway I thought I'd ask everyone what they wanted for next month's swap. I feel like I've been just making all the decisions and let you guys take or leave it. :erm:

Well, I didn't think you'd been including the anything BUT cozy swaps. But yes.

And really, I don't think you need to worry too much. You'll get lots of players no matter what. :D

I'm leaving this poll open for a while longer. Still close but I thought I'd at least give a week for everyone to vote. ;)

cheesygiraffe - February 1, 2008 01:29 PM (GMT)
It's going to be a everything Mystery Swap including cozy since this month didn't end up being just cozy. :P

Ok Feb. 8th is the Valentine Swap start date, the 18th is the Feb. YBS start, and I see the SFF Combo Swap starts the 16th. I'm thinking I will start this later in the month then. Maybe the 22nd? :shrug:

Or you can do it at the same time as one of the others. Not everyone will be participating in all of the other swaps and as far as I am concerned there is no harm in having two swaps at the same time. :shrug:

Just a thought. :wink: :whistle:

I don't like to compete with other swaps for participation. I know some will play in both and some in only one but I don't like a swap going on while mine is. Except for an ALS. :blush: :shrug:

And that was my fault why? :shrug: :lol:

Because I was just stating the obvious that we have a snooty giraffe in our midst? Because being Cheesy apparently makes her just a cut above the rest? ;)
