This has been running well a Nectarine-only exchange for two years and a full demoscene exchange last year with no major issues, so here we go again! Some people have sent demoscrene postcards, water colors, papercraft, rendered covers, a whole bunch of stuff. So feel free to get creative, but even if you've got too much to do sending a regular (perhaps regional, cultural, or seasonal) card or postcard from the store is perfectly fine.

If you do decide to post photos of what you get (some people like to see those), feel free to do so. If you post to a platform with hashtags like Twitter it might be nice to use #demoscenecardexchange so we can find them all. Don't forget to cover any personal information such as addresses before posting.

Finally I do expect mail to be a bit slow again this year, hence moving the sign-up deadline a bit. Also I apologize for forgetting to leave myself a calendar notice and posting everything a week late. Also as a result of slow mail and various factors, I will be adding an opt-in feature later to allow people in early January to check who was assigned to them so they can work out who they should still be expecting.

Thanks again for participating!

#demoScenecardexchange, maybe? =)

Jokes aside, I’ve been waiting for this!

Ah well you know, I was kinda going for the whole -cene vibe, a la anthropocene. ... OK it's a typo.

Who requested 25 cards?...

Probably the same person as last year who requested 49... but I dunno. I don't keep names and addresses year to year.

They're unlikely to get that many because last year we got I think 45 people and the max anyone got was, I think, 15. This makes the matching work out better for everyone so people are hopefully satisfied.

Card exchange assignments are posted if you signed up for it. Emails should go out in about 6 hours. Make sure to check your spam folder if you don't see it after then, as someone told me last year it ended up in there for them.

Sorry STC, just saw this post
Was wondering if it would happen this year.
