Of course, we'd love to have you join us!

P.S. - is the ko at the end of Julia for "knockout" as in a fight? or knockout as in looks? or just your next two inital for somthing like katherine olson?

Xeyra - July 4, 2008 01:00 PM (GMT)
I have a book picked up for this one so I'm really hoping we have more people joining up so the swap actually happens! :)

GateGypsy - July 4, 2008 02:39 PM (GMT)
I'm in for this one! I will be away from computer and roadtripping (on the way back home this time) from this weekend 'til the swap day, but by swap day I intend to be home. Perhaps just put me further down the list? I'll send out my reveal before I am out of range of a computer so that it'll be available if someone asks for it if you all start early :whip:

It's the first two letters of my surname - so not very original!

It's just occurred to me that I'm away on a residential course from 9th to 13th July and I don't know if I'll have either any spare time or internet access so perhaps I'd better drop out of this. Sorry to mess you about - I shall look forward to the next time.

Thanks!

juliako :cry:

KathyB - July 5, 2008 01:24 AM (GMT)
We'll miss you! Maybe in August

PepperVL - July 5, 2008 04:53 AM (GMT)
I so wish this had started already! Or that the SF/F swap hadn't ended! Two nights in a row I'm home drunk and no swap to drunk post to!!! :cry:

KathyB - July 8, 2008 05:10 AM (GMT)
:tease: :bump:

I'll probably put this up late this evening (though the official start will be tomorrow morning at 9CST) so our European players can go ahead and start if the randomizer so chooses. Any other takers? I'd like to see a few more players, but am willing to play with just 5 or 6 if necessary.

Pepper, have you decided for sure?? You will be greatly missed if you don't play!!

Amberkatze - July 9, 2008 02:17 PM (GMT)
Oooo!!! This is tomorrow!!!

I nearly forgot!

Xeyra - July 9, 2008 04:43 PM (GMT)
Going to send out my reveal when I get home. I'm glad it's still on! :)

GateGypsy - July 9, 2008 05:03 PM (GMT)
I'm home!!! I haven't missed the fun yet! Awesome. Reveal to be finished and out ASAP.

Amberkatze - July 9, 2008 05:29 PM (GMT)
I sent my reveal out already. So lets go ;)

It honestly depends on what comes in the mail today and tomorrow!

I WANT to play, believe me, but I don't have any books to offer if the 10 or so teen books that have been mailed to me don't arrive!

This is the same issue I'm having in the Teen VBB. :doh: I used all my teen books in past swaps/VBBs and haven't yet gotten a lot of what I've taken out recently.

Use one that's already been mailed to you! :P

Xeyra - July 9, 2008 08:05 PM (GMT)
Reveal sent.

Amberkatze - July 9, 2008 08:29 PM (GMT)
Not sure when this will be starting but I am off to bed now and will check in again tomorrow morning. Then after work in the evening.

I don't know... what if it gets lost in the mail or something? I feel weird using books that aren't in my possession yet, even if they're en route.

PepperVL - July 9, 2008 09:38 PM (GMT)
How do other people feel about me using a book that's on it's way to me? (By on its way I mean I've been told & the database reflects that it's been mailed.)

I'm not sure... but I have 8 teen books I know are on the way, and 7 of them I'm confident will make it here unless something happens to the mail. But 4 of those are international and 2 others were just mailed on Monday. :unsure:

Sounds ok to me. If it never makes it to you, you can probably arrange a substitution. At least that's how I feel. Anyone else feel strongly either way??

I have no objection. So long as you feel you'll be able to read through the book and send it along within the six months and not feel terribly pressured. What I mean is, if you're comfortable with it, then I am, too! Besides, you know you want to play :wink:

I do want to play. But I'm also wary of setting a precedent. I can easily read the book and pass it along within 6 months, but I read at least 15 books a month, more most of the time. A lot of people don't read that fast.

Plus, there may be some people here (on the site, not necessarily n this swap) who wouldn't make good on the book if it got lost in the mail. I would... but would everyone?

It's a slippery slope.

terra57 - July 10, 2008 01:11 AM (GMT)
Go for it Pepper. You just have to play! :wink:

I don't have any problems at all with this. If your reveal doesn't make it then the postal Gods just don't want anyone to have it. I'm sure that a sub will be okay in that case.

PepperVL - July 10, 2008 01:24 AM (GMT)
All right. No one is allowed to ask for my reveal until 5:00 Eastern tomorrow. At that time, I'll either have books here, or I'll pick one of the ones that's in the mail to me.

KathyB - July 10, 2008 03:32 AM (GMT)
sounds like a plan! Good, glad you are joining us!
