Thanks for the postcard, Scrubb! It arrived in the same envelope that my mum had used to send me the Guardian article that also mentioned you.

Ooh! I got one from Scrubb too! Looks like it had been lost in the big pile of mail in my front hallway for a few days! Thank you, and apologies for not getting it sooner!

Another YAY for Bitchiekittie- words cannot describe the beauty of this parcel's contents.

How many people on this are capable of putting images of what they've gotten on the net?

I can do scans, photos, and poorly-drawn MS Paint renditions. That should (hopefully?) cover most eventualities.

AAAAAAARGGGGGHHHHHH

What is wrong with you people? Why don't you read the sodding FAQ which I took the trouble to make for you? Then you wouldn't have to keep sending me PMs asking questions to which THE ANSWERS ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE.

Please, please, PLEASE READ THE FAQ. Then you will have the answers to your questions, and you won't make me cranky. Believe me, a cranky Anna is no fun, because cranky Anna might just give up the whole idea of doing the dance card altogther.

So, no, it doesn't matter if you don't want to send any postcards and only want to send CDs.

No, it doesn't matter which part of the world you are from, as the dance card is international.

No, you do not have to feel obliged to send out anything if you do not want to.

Yes, you do have to acknowledge receipt of anything mailed to you (didn't your momma teach you any manners)

No, you don't have to stay on the list if you want to be removed on the next update.

YES YOU HAVE TO PM ME YOUR DETAILS IF YOU WANT TO GET ON THE LIST. (I thought this one was obvious, but the number of people who have asked this question...!)

I'm sending out the new version tomorrow afternoon (British time). If you're very very quick and PM me your address details in the correct format tonight, I may even have time to squeeze you onto the list before I send it off tomorrow.

NEXT UPDATE WILL BE SENT OUT ON DECEMBER 1st, IN TIME FOR XMAS. YOU HAVE UNTIL THE END OF NOVEMBER TO GET YOUR DETAILS TO ME.

Yes, I would like a stiff drink, lots of chocolate and a nice back rub, thank you.

Whoo! Update sent out, and today I realised it was the last day of September, not the first of October, so there we go, we have it early, and just in time for the birthdays next week....

This time around we have 30 members!

Thank You Evil Scientist!

I now know the symptoms of Zombism just in case I get infested. If it happens I'll make sure before the final ones that I throw myself into a burning fire so I can't re-animate.

You cheered up my day wonderfully

darn I missed this round, and my 18th birthday is tuesday! oh well... no gifts from friendly semi-strangers this year :P

I'll just have to sign up now and get in on the holiday action. I'll probably come up with some ambitious plan to send everyone an ultra-cool, custom made christmas card, and then get lazy at the last minute and wind up not doing it. hooray for knowing thyself!

I'm glad everyone is enjoying their mail, but as a point of interest, how is it actually working out for you? If you've been sending things, have people been acknowledging receipt? I ask because I've only had a 50% acknowledgement rate since July, which makes me wonder if people have even been receiving the things that have been mailed to them. If you do get something, please do acknowledge receipt so that the person who mailed it to you knows that you got it! You're under no obligation to mail anything in return, so a simple thank-you is little enough to ask. Of course, if you didn't receive anything, then it's not your fault you can't thank anyone...!

Which reminds me... Thank you waxy dan for the postcard.

Next update goes out December 1st, which should be in time to send everyone wintertime festival cards, so PM your addresses if you want adding. Please adhere to the format specified in the FAQ -- it makes it much easier to put you onto the list if I don't have to edit your details.

funny you should ask...
i havent really had much of an acknowledgment rate at all.
i was beggining to wonder.
just a little.
 
 
Katherine
17:02 / 18.11.05
I have acknowledged the mail I have had on thread but personally there are at least three people who have never acknowledged post I have sent out.

Which reminds me I have stuff to send, must buy stamps!

I got a lovely stokey card from Anna (hope you got my message), and am wracked with guilt about not having sent anything yet, but I will now that my job has stopped being quite so silly, oh yes, I will...

doozy floop, I did get your PM thanking me, so don't worry. Sometimes I do forget to answer PMs, and because there is no way of keeping track of any I may have sent, I don't actually realise that I haven't, because my intention is to do so...!

And on that note, don't forget if you want to be added to the December list and you're not already on the dance card, PM me your details by Wednesday!

I have a new email address, and have to add everyone's addresses to my new address book, so I may not get the update out until Friday but I'm aiming to get it out on Thursday.

I am a bad person.

Um. Hopefully I will get my arse in gear and mail the list tomorrow.

I was only late leaving the house today because I was making Christmas cards, too, honest.

What I am about to say really should go in the 'Gives me a Happy' thread, and also probably in the 'Barbequotes' thread.

Gingerbop sent me a postcard of the Mona Lisa and two packets of sweets. On the back of the postcard it said, "She would have been happier if she'd had some sweets."

I suggest that this referencing of the gift via the postcard picture should become legend within Lith, and shall also henceforth be known as 'Doing a Gingerbop'.

Gingerbop, you are a very, very funny person indeed and you made me laugh, lots. Thank you.

Crossposted from the livejournal thread for those that don't check it:

I just received a puzzle card in the mail today. I think it's numbered 11, but that could just be random marks. I guess we're supposed to assemble this thing to get the full message. Will scan mine in a couple days. Anybody else get one?


I really hope I'm not overanalyzing something that was meant to just be random and nonsensical.

It has been a glorious crisp Autumn day and my fingers are typing a happy rhythm on my keyboard. Why? Because I collected my post today and I had three (yes, three!) lovely messages from people I've never even met. One was red and sparkly, one had a photograph of one of my greatest heroes, and the other has benefited a charity for musicians and their families! Thank you guys and gals. It's going to be a while for my previous levels of misanthropy can once again chill my glowing heart.

I'm getting out my image file, a scalpel, some glue, and a stolen book of stamps as soon as I finish typing this merry jig. I'm waaaaay behind on contributing to this great idea, but I promise I'll catch up.

Anna, you're a star.

Also received puzzle card from grant. Looking for scanner. Fairly sure the word 'Barbelith' is involved in the title.

Sorry Grant only just saw this, but nope you're not one of them. Sorry to worry you though.
