Description:

Do you love the idea of scavenger hunts, but hate the part where you have to pay to mail a package and then receive an envelope that's neat to look at but ultimately doesn't fit in your mail storage unit of choice? Do you love having fun? If you answered one of those questions as yes, that's good enough for me, let's keep moving.

Really quick, if you do not have easy access to a photocopier or scanner printer doohicky, don't join this swap. No, taking a picture of your bounty isn't ok, no, hiring a professional artist to create an exquisite mural of your finds isn't ok. Photocopy and photocopy alone can complete this swap.

Are you still there? Good, let's get on with it.

For this swap you will be hunting down things on the list of items, arranging them on your photocopier, taking a photocopy, labeling what each item is/ what item it fulfills and then mailing that to your one partner. Notice this is a type:3 swap, that means this should look nice and take more than 10 minutes.

Now, below is the list. Some of the items on the list might not be easy to photocopy themselves, some things you might not have, you get to be creative. For example, if one of the items was turtle you could scan: -your doodle of a turtle, -a turtle shaped rock -a turtle stuffed animal -your pet turtle -the dictionary definition of a turtle - part of a teenage mutant ninja turtle comic book -a postcard of a turtle -a picture of a turtle you took at the zoo -a candy turtle (you know, pecans, caramel & chocolate) -your tattoo of a turtle -as long as you explain what it is and say it relates to turtle, do what you do.

Items to find:
Pet
Puzzle
Plant
Stamp
Favorite Color
Jewelry
Snack
Drink
Happiness
Pen
Dinosaur
To do list
Lucky Charm
Music
String
3 coins
Clips
Something Blue
Mail
Something you think would be fun to photocopy (not your butt.)

Due to the fact colored ink is apparently made out of unicorn blood, black and white copies are encouraged.
You may need more than one page, you can do double sided if you would like, I don't think it should take you more than 2-3 sides though.

Be creative,
get all the items
be clever
label your items and give a brief explanation
make it look nice
and keep it PG unless you know your partner doesn't mind R.

PLEASE AT LEAST SKIM THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU SIGN UP.

To join this swap you must have a 4.96 rating or higher. If you have a one that is recent or could be made up, you will not be welcome in this swap. If you have any recent threes you will also not be welcome in this swap. If you believe you have an extraordinary circumstance regarding a recent three or one, it is your job to message me as soon as you sign up for this swap with an explanation so we can talk about it. If I don't have a message from you, I will drop you.

You need to have at least 5 completed and rated type 2 (or type 3) swaps under your belt to join.

I will angel if necessary as long as you have rated your partner a one. But let’s not flake, okay? I will drop anyone I feel is sketchy or unfit for the swap.

This is sender's choice, you will rate accordingly.

This swap is USA only. I will not be hosting an international version. If you are a reliable swapper and would like to host an international version please give me a heads up first and be sure to credit my brilliance. (:

LOL sounds fun!

ladydy5 02/12/2015 #

Pretty cool but how do you photocopy Happiness? That it could be a photo? A copy of a poem about it?

oblivionspin 02/12/2015 #

It's totally open to interpretation, as I put in the example for turtle, it could be the word happiness, the definition of happiness or yes, a photograph or even just so.etching that makes you happy. I left a few things vague to encourage creativity (:

oblivionspin 02/12/2015 #

*anything. I mean it could be an etching. :P As long as you put a little explanation by it there's no wrong answers.

myshoesdontmatch 02/13/2015 #

if using B&W ink how would u convey the blue in something blue?

oblivionspin 02/13/2015 #

@myshoesdontmatch Write an explanation what it is that it's blue. We will just have to all trust each other to really photocopy a blue thing. If anyone lies about the blue thing, may guilt haunt them for the rest of their life.

oblivionspin 02/13/2015 #

heh, if you were so compelled you could color it blue with colored pencils or something. But you don't have to. (: I am encouraging all creativity here. If I host this again I will definitely address these concerns in the swap description itself, so thanks for bearing with me this time (:

oblivionspin 02/13/2015 #

Note 9 pm PST I edited the swap. All I did was bold the recap of the requirements. I did not add or subtract anything.

starhiker 02/14/2015 #

I only have to find a couple more things to photocopy. Happiness and a puzzle and am still trying to get cat to sit still for buttsey photo.

meags 02/14/2015 #

gosh this looks like fun. hopefully i'll get some swaps under my belt and there will be a similiar one in the future. :)

oblivionspin 02/14/2015 #

@starhiker Perhaps you can get kitty while she's sleeping? I had to wait for the lizard to pass out to get one of her :P.
@meags thank you for reading the requirements first! I am having a blast with this, if even one other person has as much fun as I'm having I'll host it again (:

myshoesdontmatch 02/14/2015 #

I would just like to say to whomever my partner is that R rated is hilarious and always welcome!

starhiker 02/14/2015 #

I settled for a baby picture of the cat, far safer than fighting with Fang aka Arby. Just got done finding everything to take a picture, I hope you'll host again in the future.

oblivionspin 02/14/2015 #

(: I was thinking next round it would be fun to have people in the comments suggest items for the hunt, and then post a finalized list once partners are assigned. Or do you guys think that would turn out to be too chaotic?

myshoesdontmatch 02/14/2015 #

maybe you can ask for suggestions this round as to what to do next round?

starhiker 02/14/2015 #

I think that's a good idea once you this one is all signed up, I doubt it will be not as chaotic as trying to catch a cat to photocopy. Maybe a themed hunt next time.

oblivionspin 02/14/2015 #

Well, this round looks like it will be pretty cozy, but if anyone has suggestions for next time, I am open to them!
@starhiker yes, a themed hunt would be fun. I hadn't thought of that! That would make it easier for me to come up with ideas too...

oblivionspin 02/14/2015 #

Partners will be assigned sometime before noon tomorrow. (:

myshoesdontmatch 02/15/2015 #

my suggestions for next time: open to interpretation: nail, bug, joke, pill, ruler, fortune, coupon, receipt, pocket lint, gum, cover of local newspaper, sauce packet, something gross, something new, something old, something used, something upsidedown, battery, bird, washi tape, something round, something square, an adult, a child, something misspelled, toy, candle, a label, something fluffy, something mini, something sharp, button, flashlight, shoe, spoon, key, state quarter, glass, nut, needle, accessory, love note, something from nature, something you got for free, something you bought impulsively, weather, ticket stub, ok thats all i can think of lmao. dont mind me!!!!

oblivionspin 02/15/2015 #

@myshoesdontmatch thank you! That's an awesome list, best of all it makes me think, finding my own items was easy peasy. I was thinking of themes earlier and know for sure I'll have to host a mail themed one and a spring tea party themed one. I've also been working on rephrasing the instructions so they are a little more clear next time. :D

myshoesdontmatch 02/15/2015 #

haha, i'm glad you like my list! quick question: is it ok to photocopy something you printed off? or does it have to be an actual item?

myshoesdontmatch 02/15/2015 #

just 1 item obviously not all of it :)

oblivionspin 02/15/2015 #

Print offs are fiiine. As long as you photocopy it, do what you do!

myshoesdontmatch 02/15/2015 #

I just finished mine! this was a lot of fun!!! I hope you host more!
