Say, Baby, Do You Want a...Postcard?

[thefourthvine]

I recently became the proud possessor of a lot of assorted postcards - some gorgeous, some weird, some frankly hideous. (Look. We all have our weaknesses, and mine basically mean that you shouldn't ever, ever leave me alone with anything to do with paper. A stationery sale is like crack to me.) And, see, there's no real point in having postcards if you don't, you know, put them in the post.

So, do you want a postcard from me?

If your answer is, "Yes, TFV! It has long been one of my dreams to receive mail from you!" fill out the handy poll below (no one can see your responses but me), and make sure you tell me whether or not I can mention LJ or fandom on the card. (It will still be signed TFV, though. Keep that in mind.) And, okay. I don't want to friends lock this, but on the other hand, I only have so many postcards. It's unlikely that there will be more responses to this poll than there are cards for me to mail - I have lots - but just in case, know that I can't guarantee you will get a postcard. I think the odds are very good, though.

So. Give me a reason to interact with postal employees, people. Give me a reason to get to the post office and send all these packages I have waiting to go out. In short, give me your name (or a name) and address. (And especially do that if you were one of the lovely people who sent me a holiday card; I'd like to send some mailish love in the other direction for once.)

ETA: What, you guys thought I was kidding about the lots and lots of postcards? Because there are comments suggesting that I probably don't actually have, say, 90 or 100 to send out, simply because sane people don't buy that many postcards. So let me acquaint you with three quick facts:

1. I am not sane when it comes to stationery. Seriously. This is not some minor, heroin-level habit I have here.
2. This poll has not, as of this edit, hit the number of postcards I originally ordered.
3. I, um. I ordered more. It was totally an accident; I was just looking, and then I fainted from postcard deprivation, and somehow I managed to enter my credit card number and click send with my nose while I was unconscious. And...and...and, look, let's not talk about my shame anymore.

My point is: I've still got postcards. Judging by my shopping habits, I pretty much always will.

I have a great love for all things postcardy and send them often (we have a free postcard stand near work, it's wonderful), so don't forget a return address if you have enough postcards. (I'm Stacey in Aus, btw, and I don't think my mailman would be startled by anything, any more.)

I would adore a postcard but if you don't have enough, feel free to move me in line behind people you, y'know, actually know.

I gave in to the Pomegranate sale, too!

Okay, so I filled out the poll, 'cos I'm a sucker for getting useless crap, and then I noticed I was #98. Er. Do you know what you've let yourself in for? *g* So if you run out of cards before me then just know that I will completely understand and will not at all be weeping in the corner blaming you for all my life's woes. Much.

I only just found your journal today, but I'd love to get a postcard! Famdon-related stuff is awesome, but nothing NC-17 I guess. Hehe.

Howdy! [Yep. I'm a Texan, and at my university you greet people with a "hearty and enthusastic 'Howdy!'" to quote our school literature.]

Here (and friending you) via makesmewannadie's recommendation of you as a reccer. (http://makesmewannadie.livejournal.com/77497.html) I look forward to amazing fics to eat what little the unfathomably huge HP fandom has left of my brain. :D

And I asked for a postcard because getting mail is about the best thing in a college student's life. Ever. But feel free to ignore it if you run out or whatever. ^_^

I totally know what you mean about having a lot of postcards. *eyes three-inch stack on shelf*

[iseult-variante.livejournal.com]

Oooo, poooostcards. ;) Would you like a postcard in return, from exotic Montreal? Because I, too, have postcards lying around, wasting their potential.

Also, off-topic - I am planning on doing a vid-feedback project, and yours was a) inspiring and b) helpful. I'll let you know how it goes - I'll be violating the "do newer vids, not older ones" suggestion, but I've been lurking in vidding for SO LONG, that, well. Some of those are ones I really WANT to send fb about. *shrugs* We'll see how it goes. There are so many! *gulp*

Anyway, thanks for the postcard, and if you run out (heh) that's cool. :)

Gawldurnit!

Looks like my poor lj habits have caught up with me. I somehow missed this post til now. And judging from the state of the poll, I'm gonna guess you've run out of postcards by now?

*sigh* I'm....I'm just gonna go over here and pout for a bit...*g*

Re: Gawldurnit!

I definitely have more postcards. (They were on sale! A randomly selected variety of them! It made sense to purchase several hundred, really it did!) I would delighted to send you one. So feel free to fill out the poll.

Really!? Yay! *muppet dances!*

.......um.....how do I fill out the poll? It appears closed. No ticky boxes to check, and nothing seems to happen when I go to "poll" and click "Fill Out Poll". *is confused*

*eyes poll*

I have no idea what's up with that. I still see the poll, even when I'm logged in as someone else, and I get the normal fill-out options when I click on Fill Out Poll. So I can't fix it.

But! I can offer you an alternate method that avoids the poll completely. You could also email me your address (thefourthvine at livejournal dot com). Just don't forget to say what name you want me to address it to and whether or not I should avoid any LJ or fandom related content.

*eyes poll further*

That really is odd. Huh.
