As the Witch twitches....

[zianuray]

So I was looking at a Trick-or-Treat swap on Swap-bot, thinking to join, and decided against it, b/c with my luck I;d get this chick --

"Ok...so....I know this is going to come across as being rather odd.....but I have a very special request for my partners.....I don't actually celebrate Halloween....but I LOVE candy...and 2 of my favorite colors are Orange and Black....so can I please request either all candy in my treat bags, or if you want to mix it up, I would prefer decoing or scrapbooking things in the color of orange and black, and like silver....whatever other colors you associate with Halloween.....lol. The only exception to this...would be like shaped foil confetti or Halloween Kawaii things, like the ghosties or vampires/monsters. Just NO witches at all please....lol. I live in (redacted)....its pretty safe to send Chocolate in the mail at any time...lol....and I like all kinds of candies....except super sweet or sour things like warheads, smarties, pixie sticks, etc. I'm also allergic to Walnuts and Pecans, and I dislike coconut and white chocolate! Please read my profile or contact me if you have any questions"

OK, so it's labeled as a Trick-or-Treat swap, but she doesn't do Halloween, but she wants candy to her specifications, and vampires and ghosts are OK, but no witches....so I'm staying out of this one.  I don't think I'd be able to resist if I got her as a partner.  Or maybe I should join and specify that anything sent to me should be "as witchy as possible" and hope she gets to send to me!

Sheesh!  If you don't do Halloween, why are you trick-or-treating?

i think i'm only sticking to switch witch from now on. this morning i received a mildewed book and out of date candy (valentine's candy too no less) plus a bunch of other really obviously old tat that belonged in the garbage.

i hope you don't get stuck with this girl as a partner but definitely witch up her package in the spirit of the season ;D

I'm not even sure where "switch witch" is -- I see lots of references to it by BPALers, so I'm thinking maybe that Forum?

yep! the leaders take time to match you with suitable partners, and i feel like you have plenty of help (pretty much the entire SW thread besides the leaders themselves) to help you out.

this is only my second round but the good experiences i have already had just reinforce in my mind how well run switch witch really is, especially when compared with the unfortunate experiences i have had in other swaps. i see you talking about swap bot all the time, maybe you should try switch witch next round :)
