Title: March Fantasy Only Swap - Sign up
Description: Official Start March 15th
shaunesay - March 3, 2008 07:48 PM (GMT)
It's time for a Fantasy only, no Sci-Fi swappy! There are no copyright date restrictions on this swappy (we're going to make April's combo swap a 2003 or later, but not this one), and any kind of fantasy is ok, high fantasy, epic fantasy, urban fantasy, just no Sci-Fi, so just get that space ship right outta here and bring your unicorn instead!
As I know sometimes there is overlap, especially in Urban fantasy it seems to me, This is not super strict, if your book has elements of both, as long as it's primarily fantasy and not blatantly sci-fi it's fine. :) If you're not sure, I'll be happy to take a look at what you're considering and let you know what I think, then just not reveal you to be fair.

Put me as a maybe please. I'm trying not to fall into too much TBR book debt again (as most of my swap offerings are TBR), so I'll have to consider whether or not I want to add another owed TBR to my pile (I'm more comfortable nowadays with only one or none owed books from swaps/relays/VBBs before I use a TBR).
Anyways, all that long boring explanation to let you know that I may end up going against everything said above because it's my favorite genre and I'm weak. But I'm still a maybe.

Hehe, I love that my name got added automatically.....which is what I told you to do. ;) :giggle:
ETA: We are having my youngest son's birthday that day, so I may be slow in getting on the board on the 15th.

Can I play?
(I know you're "for" the 6 month rule so rather than have to contact me personally about it, know that I just finished Tipping the Velvet for Giz, from last March's Raiding swap and it should be going out within the next week.)

I'm for and against the whole rules thing actually. I see the need, but regret the feelings they cause, but if yer gonna have 'em, then have 'em consistent.
And it's also too hard to make a consistent rule that takes into account all the individual cases, but you also can't spend the time making rulings on the individual cases, thusly do you need a consistent rule that guides things. :shrug: dat's just the way it goes... it's a catch-22.
but yes, you may play, as the whole rules thing is still under discussion anyway....
For you Eddie Izzard fans... it's really more of a gesture at this point, than a manuever...

I'll give this one a try. I'm still new to fantasy and don't like sci-fi at all. So this will ensure I get a fantasy book atleast. :P Seems like a good way to test the waters.

Just noticed the date on this one. Ask the randomizer to put me close to the bottom please cause I'll be out of town until late afternoon on the 16th.
Thanks - KathyB

I've been letting my reading list dictate my swap participation instead of vice versa. Meaning... I have this Fantasy book that I have to read, and no one to give it to after so.... :whistle: hey look, Shaunie's holding a Fantasy swap! How convenient!! :P
redhot-brat - March 10, 2008 11:53 PM (GMT)
I will be out from late afternoon the 15th till around noon-1 pm the 16th. I will try to leave moves just incase , but if you could put me towards the bottom too.... that'd be great. :D
