Questionnaire!
Hello all and hope you are getting excited for the start of the swap! Below the cut is the questionnaire. It is not required, but highly recommended. Remember, the more you make known about your preferences, the better presents you are likely to receive! Please post the questionnaire with your answers here in the community under an lj-cut. If you don't know how to do an lj-cut, check out FAQ #75. Also, please tag your post with the word "questionnaire". This will make it easier to find the questionnaire posts later. Also, if you like you can post it in your personal journal. This will help everyone find their pal's answers. Of course, don't forget to make the entry public! I think that's about it for now...so start posting your questionnaire answers, tag your entries in the community, and very very soon you will be receiving your pal assignments!
