				   				 Feel free to interpret this theme however you wish. ^_^ 
 
ATC requirements 
- You will make one (1) ATC for one (1) partner.
 
- An ATC is  2.5" X 3.5" (6.35 cm x 8.9 cm) and should have a sturdy background.  If you can bend it without damaging it, it's not thick enough. 
 
- The ATC can be made however you please, except for : stickers slapping (using only, or a majority of stickers), speedy images (taking a picture and cropping to fit an ATC) and a single stamp on a blank background.  Be aware that bulky embellishments may cost more to ship.
 
- Please, please, please don't create a rushed/botched ATC.  Take the time needed to make it nice.  I can't stress this enough : send something you would be proud to receive.  If you need a time frame for reference : I spend 45 minutes or more on a single ATC, from initial idea to final product.
 
- On the back of the ATC, you must write the swap name, the date made, and your swap-bot ID.  You can also include a title and information about your website, Instagram account, etc.
 
- Please place your ATC in a protective sleeve before sending it off in the mail.
 
 
 
Other requirements 
- Newbies are welcome at my discretion.
 
- Your profile must contain some sort of indication that you are interested in making and/or trading ATCs.  
 
- I will check if you have have been online the day before/on the day of the deadline.  If you haven't, I will ban you.
 
- I will check if you have recent 1s or 3s.  Sh*t happens but please understand that I wil ban you if your problematic ratings are unexplained and/or unresolved.
 
- Any problematic swapper or flaker should be reported to me.
 
- If for some unforeseen reason you can't make the deadline, you must contact your partner before the send by date.  If you haven't sent on time, I will contact you to sort things out.  Failure to answer will get you banned from future swaps.
 
- My swaps are international and it may be a while before your ATC arrives.  However, if you don't receive your ATC one month after your partner has marked the swap sent, please let me know.  
 
 
 
Ratings 
- Follow the swap-bot guidelines to rate fairly.
 
- When rating, please leave a comment for your partner to read.  A short comment is better than no comment at all.  Your partner worked hard on that ATC (one hopes), let them know it's appreciated. :)
 
- If you base your rating on the postmark, please be aware that it may show a later date than the swap deadline.  If dropped in a street box, or posted from a rural location, or right before a holiday, it's possible that the postmark will not accurately reflect when your partner sent.  Keep in mind that a couple of days difference is possible.
 
- I will angel if necessary.  Please don't make it necessary.  If the situation isn't resolved to your satisfaction in a timely fashion after you rate a 1, contact me for your replacement ATC.
 
 
 
❤️ 
- English isn't my first language, ask me for clarification if needed.
 
- If you are interested and available to angel if needed, please let me know.
 
- I'm hoping to make my swaps as pleasant and safe as possible.  Don't hesitate to contact me if you can help me towards that goal.
 
- Thank you to those who have commented and helped me along the way.
