Yes, it's May and time to start a new round. Please join in and keep postcards alive. Sign up lasts all May. I'll send you a list of wonderful people who would like to send you postcards custom made just for you in June.

Don't believe every thing you see on the internet, digital shooters are welcome.
The FAQ and introduction documents have not been updated but for this round any manner of capture is permitted.
Alternate methods and processes will be appreciated. Let's see what you are up to.

Please sign up now and remember you can select the number of cards you want to send/receive.
Sign up runs the month of May, then you have two months to send and receive your cards.

OK, now the standard text, but please read on:

There are links to the FAQs and an Introduction in my signature at the bottom.

As in the previous rounds, please signup by starting a conversation with me (used to be called PM) containing your full name, address (including the country - this is an international exchange) and the number of cards you are able to send or say maximum for the maximum possible number of cards. You can also choose "ALL" you will still only receive the MAX number of cards but you will receive the complete list so you can share your work with everyone if you choose.

As in the previous rounds, if you have been in the exchange for the last couple rounds and if your address is the same, you can sign on just with giving the number of cards here in the thread. No PM needed in this case.

Important! As in the previous rounds I will post lists of participants in this thread every once in a while. If you signed in (or if you think so) please come back to this thread and check if your name is on the list. If the name should be on the list but is not, then let me know. Once the address lists are sent out early in June I can not make any changes. Also check for the number of cards behind your name.

There are a couple threads with an introduction and FAQs (check the links in my sig). Just send me a PM or ask here if you have any questions.

Please read on:

As in the previous rounds, not all participants have been able to send out the cards. For whatever reasons, if you have not fulfilled your last rounds commitment, send your cards before you sign in for this round. Just be fair. (and drop a note in the last round comments to let us know you are okay)

Now for those new to the postcard exchange, here is how it all works out.

First: It is fun!

Second: When registration is over, I will prepare address lists which I will send to the participants. You will have to send a card to every address on that list and you should receive back a card from everyone on that list. So if you join in for e.g. 20 cards you will have to send 20 cards and you should receive 20 cards back.

Third: Did I mention that it is fun? Where else can you receive cards from all over the world, different styles, different methods, different papers, and more.

Ill go 20 cards this time. Little easier to manage when I know how many to plan for.

Hi. I'm interested in sending 10 postcards, but because I'm a lurker more than a poster, I can't start a conversation with you to share my info. Can you message me? Thank you!

I saw this post, noted how long you have been a member, and checked the things we check.
Your access to the Conversation function has now been enabled.
Enjoy the Postcard exchange - it is great fun!

I've been part of the #PostcardsFromAfar group across Bluesky and Mastodon for a year or so. We are supposed to send one and receive one from a different person. Unfortunately, receiving has been a bit sporadic recently (there could be all sorts of reasons for that, including international post!). Numbers are dwindling as well, so I am interested to join another postcard group. However, I think there's a problem; while I've apparently been a member since 2015, I haven't made nearly enough posts (!) to start a conversation, and unfortunately that's not likely to happen before May 31. I'd be in for 5 I think, but as I say, maybe next time!

@ChrisR
All you need to do is ask
We have done our usual checks, and will manually enable your access.
You can expect to receive a Conversation about that shortly.

Thank you. I didn't realise this was possible until later when I was looking at the classifieds rules. I don't need to use those, but thanks. I'll do an intro, too.
