Live Journal Secret Pal 1 (original) (raw)

Obviously, it's May now and the SP exhange is "officially" over. I know a couple of you haven't gotten your final packages yet, but be patient. rockstr009 and kastra in particular, your pals have let me know that your packages are on their way. (In some cases, international shipping is to blame for the delay.)

The end of the semseter has fallen on my head like a half-dozen pianos, but when I get a bit of spare time (not til next week at least) I'll post up some sort of poll to see how everyone liked SPLJ1 and if you have suggestions for changes in SPLJ2.

Once again, I'm going to ask for co-mods. I'd like two, and though I'm pretty sure more than two commented the last time I asked, I'm going to have to narrow it down. I will assign each of you 1/3 of the participants to match up at the end of May/beginning of June. Depending on how many we get, one of you might get all international (i.e. not American) pals to match up. Whatever group you are "in charge of" will also email you with questions and problems, such as not being able to make an anonymous account, or that their pal hasn't emailed them/sent them a package yet. You must have everyone assigned to everyone else and emails sent out by the second of June at the latest. (This may be slightly subject to a slight change depending on how organized I am and how many participants we get.) These co-mods must be patient, have the time to devote to their duties (at least an hour or two a week for emails and checks, and more than that the first week for organization), and must have a reliable email address which they check at least three times a week. Emails must be responded to in a timely fashion (three to four days tops) and must always be answered politely. Obviously you must have participated in SPLJ1 to know the ropes. You can not be gone (away from internet access) for more than 14 days total during the period of SPLJ2. Though this might seem unfair to a few, I ask that anyone wishing to "apply" for the job of co-mod be at least 18 years old by the first of June. To show you've read this, put "kitchener" in your application. If you fit these qualifications and wish to be a co-mod, please fill out the application below and email it to me at hngjmesa(at)yahoo(dot)com and put "Co-mod" in the subject line.

You'll know if you've been assigned a co-mod position by May 20th at the very latest. Thanks!

If you have not sent out all three of your pal's packages by now, you need to email them to let them know if one is on its way and if not, why. A couple of you seem to have gone MIA and if I don't have a good explanation as to why, you won't be allowed to participate in SPLJ2.

Also: Go ahead and reveal your Secret Identity to your pal! I hope you two will remain LJ friends and continue to check on each others' journals at least every once in a while. Pals, don't forget to THANK your spoiler for all the lovely things she's given you these past three months. Even if it's just an e-card, a thank you card is probably in order. Remember, you do have her return address, in most cases. ;) I've really enjoyed doing this, seeing what you all get, sending things to my pal, and of course receiving things. Feel free to keep us updated in this community as to what your spoiler has sent you and what (if anything) you send your spoilee. See you in a couple of weeks, I hope!
