I can't believe she's still doing this.I can't believe she's still here.
Guess what. It's time for the EoFF Christmas/Holiday/Whatever card exchange. I don't like to repeat myself, so enjoy the copypasta of RULES AND REGULATIONS.

If your financial situation limits you from sending cards to a large number of EoFFers, PM me and we will work something out, however, I strongly urge everyone to try and send each member on the list something. No one wants to feel like Ralph Wiggum on Valentine's Day.
2) The deadline for having your addresses PMed to me is November 30, (the last Sunday of November) by 11:59 p.m. EST. I will be sending out the addresses the following week. Any addresses PMed to me after the deadline are going to sit in my PM box all alone and be sad. (probably)
3) Do not send your address to anyone else but me. I am not having crazy PM spam happening all over this board as a result of me. They'd beat me up in the Staff forum. (Or at least they'd try...)
4) As soon as the addresses are sent out and the cards are received, it is up to everyone who has the mailing list to delete them in a proper manner (there should be no reason to keep them after getting the cards). This is to ensure the safety and well-being of all those involved. Also note that I cannot be held accountable for what type of person ends up getting your address as a result of this. Please understand that you are putting a lot of trust in your fellow members when you decide to do this.
5) You do not have to give your real name or a permanent street address. PO Boxes or dorm addresses are perfectly fine to use, just as long as it is a real address that you maintain. You are more than welcome to use your EoFF name as the name on your envelope. Your mailman will just look at you funny.
6) Please do not send small objects inside envelopes. The envelope will be opened by workers at the U.S.P.S to ensure there are no hazardous materials inside, and the object will be removed. Glitter has, in my experience, not been subject to this removal.
7) Do not, under any circumstances, send rude or threatening messages to anyone through the Christmas Card exchange. If I find out about it, I will ban you from the exchange until I am dead, and I will urge those you offended to press charges, or seek legal recourse myself. It is against US Federal Law to abuse or threaten someone through the postal service. And I'll ban you. At any rate, you'll just be showing a lot of people what a jerk you really are. If you receive a threatening message and do not want to seek legal recourse on your own please come to me and I will help you through it as best I can. I AM HERE FOR YOU.
8) The most important rule, have a great time with this. This is one of the few times you can step outside of your EoFF identity and reach out to your online friends through real life communication. And it is a small, but incredibly powerful way to make a difference in someone's holiday season. There is no reason on earth this shouldn't be happy fun goodtimes.
Woo hoo! I have some antique cards I'm going to send this year. They have kitties on them.
Start swamping my inbox, fools.
