Post Secrets are secrets one writes on a postcard to a receiver. The secrets can be written anonymously OR one can sign them.

postsecrets.com is a website you can visit & see the samples done on them. That site is usually updated every Sunday!

You would enjoy them both, FSF! Thank you for the interest!!

Gemme will be along & she will have much more info on these two projects....she is a whiz like that.... Thanks Gemme!!!!

haha

Great minds!

I am thinking about wrangling a postsecret with the theme butch-femme. For those who do not know, postsecret involves making a postcard or decorating / altering an already made postcard to tell a secret. Examples are available on http://www.postsecret.com . Anyway, the theme would be any secret related to being butch or femme or in our community, whatever. It could be however you interpret the theme but some ideas would be ways you feel like you don't fit into the labels or what it means to you to be butch / femme or how you knew you were butch / femme or a butch-femme sex secret, whatevs. Postsecrets don't always need to be secrets, per se, but can also be ideas you are keeping in your head. The only rule is that they would be postcards (one or more -your choice- for each person who signs up, with no limit on how many sign up). This is a project where you can really artsify it up or keep it simple depending on your own wishes. You can also attach your name to your projects or keep it anonymous. They'd be due to me by the end of August. Please put a like / thanks on this post if you'd be interested in participating and if I get enough "thanks" I'll start a sign up.

nycfem · 07-23-2016, 09:21 PM

Okay, there's already enough "thanks" that I'm going to start a sign up because I am already excited

Sign up ends at the end of July. Package due to me along with 5 bucks for shipping by end of August.

Postsecret with butch femme theme (or trans, whatever works for you and your identity or identities)

Size of postcard: not an issue, reasonable

You must make your own secret but you can use a postcard that you buy and alter / decorate / write on or make your own.

Who: You can attach your name (if you do, either on back of card, or use ziploc bags or whatever) or be anonymous

How many: 1 or more for each participant (your choice of how many you make for each person)

Examples of what Postsecret cards are like: http://www.postsecret.com

I meant the rules about being late, dropping out of the project, wrangler responsibility, etc. The one that's supposed to be on the bottom of every project. Again, I can't cut and paste because my internet is limited to my phone right now still.

"For 2016, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until January 1st, 2017. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. This rule must be posted at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules."
