I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to make
origami roses with my brother for his girlfriend. (With mixed results. We finally came to the conclusion that that guy isn't an origami artist, but rather a magician... that rose comes from *nowhere*! We made three amorphous cubes that I should have photographed...)
Since I don't have a significant other at the moment and I'm not one of those persons who hate Valentine's day and I *love* to both give and get stuff, I propose:
THE RULES (subject to be added upon and modified because I'm making this up as I go along):
1. This is a trade game: the idea is to exchange things. You can play whether you're single or attached, I want as many people playing as possible.
2. I will trade you like for like. If you send me a picture, I will send you a picture, if you make me fanart, I will make you fanart, if you send me a kiss, I will send you one back... etc...
*The only exceptions are written things (since I can't write) so, if you write me a drabble, I'll make you a doodle or an icon, if you write me a fic/ficlet I will make you a proper piece of fanart.
3. It must be free stuff that can be posted on LJ since I cannot buy stuff outside my country on the internet (trade regulations in my country forbid me from doing so unless I register with the government and have a credit card and even then I only get $400 a *year* for Internet purchases.)
4. The deadline is 1 week from now (there can be extensions, but I'll *try* to get everything done this week), since I know you're all going to be busy with your significant others and friends. This also gives me time to complete my replies.
5. Things don't have to be perfect or time consuming. After all, it is the thought that counts.
EDIT: 6. You can post what you'll do and I'll reply with what I'll do and later we post again with the finished product OR you can just post the finished product and I'll reply with my finished product. You can also tell me if you need more time, I'll understand and wait patiently ;) Posting to admire the works of other people is also fine!
EDIT2: You don't have to ask me what I want, you can just post something *you* think I'd enjoy. I'm pretty certain I'll love it whatever it is, even if it's just a picture of yummy chocolate (to which I'd reply with a picture of something else... :)
In short: Play with meeeeeeeeeee...
Feel free to link here or make your own Trade Game.
I will be continuing all abandoned projects and memes after this.
EDIT3: I'm not taking any more trades but will work hard to finish the ones I promised. Also, if you said you'd do something for me, take as long as you need, I'll take it when you have it :)
