Okay all! I am making a Queermail mixtape/mix-cd/letter trade so that we can all make some new friends!

All you got to do is reply to this thread some time this week and say whether you'd like make/receive a mix-TAPE (as in cassette tape) or a mix-CD (as in CD-R).

Next week - I'll aim to leave it up for 7 days, so probably sometime around the 6th July - I will pair everybody up RANDOMLY and post the pairings. Find your partner, PM them, swap addresses and make/send eachother your mixes.

Why not add in a letter? Or decorate the mix artwork? Or send some extra little goodies to introduce yourself?

Rules: 

1) This is a WORLDWIDE trade. If you sign up then please be aware that you might be paired with somebody on the other side of the planet. If this is a problem then please don't sign up - why not find somebody closer to you and then PM them directly and suggest a private trade? I used to organise these trades regularly and pairing people who would only mail to certain countries got too complicated so I'm scrapping it.

2) Please only sign up if you can fulfill your promise. Make sure you can afford postage, have the equipment and ability to make/send your mix, make sure you have a little time to spare next week.

3) Please include a tracklisting. So annoying finding great new music but not knowing what/who it is!

4) Be aware that you could be paired with ANYBODY, wherever in the world, whatever age/gender/sexuality. I will pretty much pair-up people entirely randomly - except will aim to pair tape people with tape people, and CD people with CD people. If you want to trade with somebody in particular, just message them directly! We're all here to make friends! :)

This is just a nice way to make friends, find some new music, receive something nice in the mail. Don't be shy :)

GO GO GO!

We had a good suggestion by nathd5 (thankyou!) to add a tagging system to make it easier for members to find their ideal penpal. This system I've concocted is probably totally flawed but lets try it anyway and see how it goes. Apologies to everyone who has already posted sans-tags - feel free to repost if you wish.

Tags are entirely optional but may increase your chances of being found and contacted by your perfect penpal! We have a lot of tags set up but please use the most common ones first. Please message hello_alphie if we have missed out any tags that you would find useful.

LOCATION TAGS: If you are looking to write to somebody in the same country, area or state as you then you could tag your continent, country or state. You can also tag "any location" if you have no specifications regarding location.
Example: "Europe", "USA", TX" (=Texas)

GENDER TAGS: You can tag the gender of those that you wish to write to, as "female" or "male" or "any gender". You can also tag your own gender (includes "genderqueer, FTM, MTF, intersex" and more).
Example: "male", "female","MTF", "intersex", "cisgender"...

SEXUALITY/IDENTITY TAGS: You can tag your sexuality or the sexuality of those that you may specifically be looking to write to. You can also tag "any sexuality" if you have no specification of whom you would like to write to.
Example: "lesbian", "femme", "bear"...

LANGUAGE TAGS: You can tag languages that you can read/write or would like to penpal in:
Example: "spanish", "french", "german"...

SEND/RECEIVE TAGS: You can tag what sort of items you would like to receive. If you would only like to send IMs or emails then that's fine, but you may want to swap recipes, candy, packages... lots of things! You can tag what you would like to send/receive:
Example: "mixtape", "IM", "email", "recipe", "letters", "postcards"...

AGE TAGS: You can tag your age, AND the age of those you are looking to write to. You can tag more than one age range if you are open to a wider age spectrum. These tags are as follows:
"16 - 18", "19 - 25", "26 - 35", "36 - 45", "46+", "all ages"

We realise the tagging system isn't perfect but hopefully it will help you find penpals a little easier :)

Thanks again everyone for using Queermail. Our time on Spotlight will come to an end very soon but I hope the community still continues strong now that we have had a huge injection of life and members over these last few days!
