I claim Person A for a zombie ATC.  

3 claims, 2 sent, 1 received

I live in Massachusetts, USA.  I would prefer not to receive anything violent, political, or religious.  

My themes are:
1)   funny foods
2)   polka dots
3)   monster movies
4)   The letter E
5)   cats

You would then send a PM to Person A and ask them for their address.  You have 2 weeks to complete each card so have fun and do your best.  


Please PM the organizer when you send or receive a card.  It's extremely helpful if you label the message as November ATC Swap and mention who you are sending a card to or receiving a card from.

New swappers will be free to have more claims once their first card has been received.

You can make as many (or as few) claims as you want through out the month as long as you never go over your allowed amount of outstanding claims.  An outstanding claim is a card that has not been received; when that card is received your number of outstanding claims goes down leaving you open to bring it back up to 7 or 10.

Positive feedback will be given when all of the cards you sent have been received. Please post pictures/scans of your received cards in the gallery (or make arrangements with your partner to do so).  Good communication is always cool!  

If you have any questions please post them in the discussion thread or PM the organizer.

 "Ode to an Expiring Frog"

     '"Can I view thee panting, lying
     On thy stomach, without sighing;
     Can I unmoved see thee dying
     On a log
     Expiring frog!"'

     '"Say, have fiends in shape of boys,
     With wild halloo, and brutal noise,
     Hunted thee from marshy joys,
     With a dog,
     Expiring frog!"'

*Renaissance, Dark Ages styles and culture
* Your favorite illustrated children's book
