Welcome to the October 2024 PAT!
PAT Guidelines:
1. In order to participate in this PAT, you must:
-Have an established iTrader rating of +15.
-Have received no negatives within the past 6 months.
-Have received no neutrals within the past 3 months.
2. Themes must be chosen within 48 hours of joining the swap. This means you can join a group, but think about your theme for 2 days.
3. You may only join one or two groups. (No more than 2 groups per player.)
4. Each card must be the standard ATC size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches, and on sturdy paper.
5. Each card must be original and unique. Send cards you’d be happy to receive! No white backgrounds. No stickers. No glossy magazine cut outs. No bulky embellishments.
6. You must follow the themes requested by your group participants exactly. Theme is the main focus of a PAT, so no deviations from theme requests are allowed. If a player requests a green cat and an orange one is submitted, it will be returned.
7. Each card must be in an individual plastic sleeve.
8. Each card should be labeled with the swap name, your username, your real name, date of creation, your location, group number, and recipient name.
Mailing Info:
1. Please mail cards in a business sized envelope, spreading the cards over the space of the envelope.
2. Please use washi tape to secure your set. (Excluded for Group 7)
3. You may send a SASE, or an address label and postage. Either is fine.
4. If you are mailing from the U.S., one Forever stamp should cover the cost of returns if you are in just one group. Include a stamp for an additional ounce if you are in two groups.
5. If you are mailing internationally, please provide either 1 Global U.S. Forever stamp per group or 1 well concealed $1 per group. If you are playing internationally and do not have funds or stamps, PM me and I will help you play.
6. When you are ready to mail your cards, please private message me for my address. If you have it, it has not changed.
7. A host card would be greatly appreciated and loved, but is never required.
8. Please write your group number on the back of your envelope(s).
It helps me organize!
9. Remember that feedback is different in a PAT. You do not leave Rep/ You Rock points. Leave iTraders for me + the other artists in your group, as it is a requested trade. PM if you have any questions on this.
A Final Note:
This is an on-time PAT. That said, I am understanding of postal woes. Please communicate.
