So, I have this project I'm working on that involves interviewing Greeting Card Writers and Greeting Card Designers and Stationery Makers and Paper Crafters. Yay! Paying freelance gig Good! Anyway...

I thought maybe I could get ahold of a fellow AW'er who's active in the Greeting Card industry and chat by email. Yes, I could put my request in Experts Wanted, but that just seemed a little too wide-angle. I was hoping to browse the Greeting Card Writing forum, get a feel for who's who, and then PM someone. Politely.

But! The Greeting Card Writing forum is all private.

Whyzzat?

And is there a public place people congregate to talk about this that I've just overlooked? The Greeting Card equivalent to, say, Writing Short Fiction?

Or do I just go beg an admin for the password?

Umm--there was some other reason, I think I'm dimly remembering...I just can't quite place it. We can always ask Jenna, though--who wrote "Sell the Fun Stuff" and might actually be a really good person to begin with, for your project. :)

Nicole, I'm PMing you with the password. I don't think our greeting card writers would mind... :)

That goes for anyone who wants the e-book but whose funds are tight, too. Just PM me and I'll send you the password.

It's a conspiracy.

You see greeting cards actually all contain subliminal messages, and the forum is where the actual concrete details of the plans for World Domination are worked out.

It's really all up to the white mice, you know?

Dama, Cletus is one of those eternal mysteries, left intact for humans to ponder over the centuries--sorta like fossils.

:D

Now, if I'd *known* this thread would be so much fun to read, I wouldn't have waited until I had an actual real reason to start it.

Thanks all for the replies, esp. Jenna! And give my best to the white mice. *narf*

No! Don't do it. The last person that tried that -

was never heard from again. :Shrug:

I want to know what happened to Bartimus. Must be the missing link.

Shhh. I know, I asked about 'Cletus' once. I lost seventeen hours and woke up naked under a mail truck... on a Sunday. Don't go there.

The blue iguana flies at midnight. Ta-rah and all she said.

Ja! I did a bit of snooping around and I have a very good idea of what Cletus is! Now, off to make a list of possible members...
