Mod Post [Mod Post] ONLY RAoC Activity in Thank You Posts PLEASE

106 Upvotes

IMPORTANT NOTICE RE: THANK YOU POSTS

Recently, we have had an influx of thank yous for users who do not participate in RAoC, as well as thank yous for offers/exchanges from other subreddits such as r/RandomActsofHappyMail,r/postcrossing, r/penpals, etc).

We only allow RAoC activity on our thank you posts. Our Flair system is not for participation from other subreddits.

As a reminder, every single thank you that is posted is manually tracked as Flair by a small group of volunteers who give their time and energy to the subreddit. When non-RAoC activity is included in a thank you post here, it creates significantly more work for the Flair Helpers and Mod team. This is not what RAoC Flair is intended for.

Please only thank people for cards that were received directly from this subreddit. If it is suspected that you have thanked a user from activity outside of the subreddit, you will receive a message from the Mods. Repeat offenders run the risk of being banned from participating here.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them as a comment below and we will respond. Alternatively, feel free to send us a modmail.

Thank you,

Your dedicated Mod and Flair Helper teams

Offer [Offer] Pikachu Halloween Postcards [U.S & WW]

22 Upvotes

Priority goes to those that have recent thank-you posts, but am ok with sending to newbies that haven’t posted any thank-you’s yet but promise to.

Here’s what the card will look like since I can’t use that one photo site anymore that everyone on here uses 🙃: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfeLu-_jkO9p8ZwGnDepA5G1OGFGKoILjMpgz7yKfXihwXAYA/viewform

Decided not to do an actual form. I will reach out to people individually (I think I have 20 of these or so? Almost forgot I had them printed a month ago💀 will double check later)

Just state in the comments if you’re in the U.S or WW and please include your prompt for the card :) can be Pokemon related or anything really! Love a good creative prompt.

I’ll mark this post as fulfilled once I choose people and then reach out to you via DM within 24 hours! Will mail these out on Halloween 🦇

Exchange [EXCHANGE] Creepy stories on vintage postcards [US to WW]

11 Upvotes

Hellohihey what's up friends? I have eleven vintage "night view" postcards, ten of which are linen. And one more vintage linen card that is not a "night view" but still works for my purposes, my purposes being to reimagine the images on the front as part of a horror story of some kind. So I'll write a beginning or scene trying to mine horror out of the very non-threatening postcard imagery. The twelve cards are:

  1. Columbus Savings & Trust Building
  2. Silvery Moonlight
  3. South View of Elon College by Night
  4. Night-time scene, Yadkin River Bridge
  5. Night-time scene, North Carolina Baptist Hospital
  6. Wilson County Court House at Night
  7. Hiwassee Dam and Power House by Night
  8. Sunset on Lake James
  9. U.S. Post Office by Night, Athens, Georgia
  10. Night-time Scene of Backbone Rock
  11. Moonlight Scene of Martha Jefferson Hospital
  12. One of the Natives Exploring Bat Cave

In exchange I would like from you...a postcard! Any kind. About anything. Wanna do the same thing? Cool. Wanna do something different? Cool. Want it to be your art vs. my bad writing? Cool. Want it to be the worst most boring postcard ever vs. my bad writing? Cool. Any exchange will do. No flair requirements or geographic restrictions or anything. If you want to swap just comment below and indicate which one you would like and then inbox me your address if I don't already have it and I'll do the same. Thanks for playing!

u/itsrainingrosepetals - Thank you for the gorgeous floral card and lovely ephemera! I was in choir too and I miss those days! I've seen The Lion King live, it was my first ever musical experience as a kid! It was a school trip!

u/inahologramwithyou - Sorry it seemed to take a while to arrive but I got your lovely cafe/coffee card! I've heard the coffee from Dunkin is something special. I unfortunately am not a fan of matcha - regular green tea is also sort of on the rocks for me, haha! But I wonder if combining it with different flavours would make me like it more. Funnily enough I heard several other people recommend a condensed milk drink to me as well, so it seems popular!

Request [request] Birthday 🎂 [INDIA]

12 Upvotes

Hey friends! 👋
Hope everyone had an awesome World Postcard Day!
My birthday is coming up on October 27th! I started this incredible snail mail journey quite recently, and this will be my very first time celebrating it with this amazing community.

Parry (the notoriously chaotic head of dispatch at the Unemployed Pigeons Club) and I would be absolutely thrilled to receive some birthday mail from you this year!
If you'd like to send a card, just drop me a DM for my address. To keep our avian postal system busy, here is the deal: as soon as Parry successfully drops your card into my mailbox, I will definitely send a reply card right back your way!

I really appreciate meaningful messages along with the birthday wishes. Tell me a quirky local fun fact, your favorite board game, or a funny story from a recent adventure.
Thank you all for making this hobby so incredibly wholesome.
Much love,
Sujay & Parry 🐦✉️

13 Upvotes

I'm starting my Christmas offer early as to not overwhelm myself and so that I know how many stamps I will be needing. If you claimed from my handmade Christmas offer I posted months ago, feel free to claim from this one again.

This one is a folding card, and I attached an image of the card on the form if you want to see how it looks like.

No flair requirement, but you must have a visible thank you post. Fill out this form if you're interested. Leave a comment of your favourite food/activity to eat/do on Christmas after you're done.

All my US Christmas offer will go out on late November or early December.

Mahalo!

Request [Request] please help me celebrate my first birthday alone [uk]

17 Upvotes

I've had a really tough couple of years ans really feeling it now.. next Tuesday will be my first birthday fully fully alone. But I want to make a change this year and just. Relight my spark.

In the past two years my best friend died in a horrible way, other best friend had to go support their family, I lost a really good job and honestly things kept going downhill. I was in a very long term relationship. But I moved all of my things out of there yesterday and he still doesn't know I'm gone as he's away visiting friends. The relationship was a very dark volatile thing and I stayed thinking it will change but I don't want to live my life in fear and crying myself to sleep so I left this week.

I lost pretty much all of my support network and it only hit me today when I realised I'll spend my birthday broke (that's ok it's a work in progress), alone, and with nobody to even share a meal with or have a laugh with. It stung a lot.

But I want this year to be my year! I have been through a lot in my life but I never want to give up and I want this little birthday to be a reminder that I can do it and that even when I feel alone and hopeless it's never really life that!

If anyone could please send me any cards, happy, funny, anything. Just so I'm not stuck staring at a wall on my birthday after a really difficult year. I feel really embarrassed at how things have played out and how alone I am. My DMs are open.

It would mean so much ❤️

Thank you!

u/xinthetic - thank you so much for the super cute llama card. I love it. Anything with pastels and gold foil I think is cute. and thank you so much for decorating my envelope so cutely. I hope you get to move back here soon too. and oh my God, the stickers you enclosed were super cute, especially the McDonald’s and cooking ones. Lol.

u/andromeda921 - x2 - thank you so much for returning my travel postcard to me. I will post it up soon. And thank you for the beautiful floral card. And this takes stuff leave stuff pass it on is super fun. Except is this a legit Travel postcard offer that I need to post? Or just pass this envelope along next time I send something out? I spent 10 minutes searching your post, my post, my comments, etc. and I honestly couldn’t find anything. I do recall seeing a take a sticker leave a sticker thing, but I thought that was on a postcard. And because I didn’t know what it was I don’t think I claimed it, which is also why I’m confused. Sorry. Let me know.

u/inxomnixq - x7 - OMG!!!! thank you so much for these amazing cards and postcards. I love learning everything about you that you wrote on each card. It’s so hard to pick a favorite card. These were all so beautiful and so fabulous and so cute and pretty. Wow. I really like the ghost card and the aloha Hawaii card and the waves and the mountains and the starry night and I like the cute Halloween cards, especially the candy corn on them. I will write you back via snail mail. Thank you! :) 💛😭🙏🏻

u/TheCuriousCur, Thank you again for the beautiful world postcard day card! I'm happy to have found the Strange Planet comics again!

u/waywarddaughterzzz, Hello! I was excited to see the amphipod stamp. I went to a stamp show for the first time and one of the things I was most excited about was a sheet of these deep sea creature stamps! Did you make this card? The textures on it are so cool. It makes me want to make things with stamps or get back into printmaking.

u/medjuli, I am so happy for you that you got to see whale sharks! How incredible. I bet they are indescribable and unable to be captured in pictures in the way a beautiful sunset/moonrise is. Thank you so much for sending this card! Also, I really enjoy these goat stamps.

u/holmesbrazuca, Your artwork was so beautiful and special. I learned so much and was inspired by your work. The Uirapuru, the macaws, and more. I am slowly but surely working on a reply to send to you!
