InCoWriMo 2017

Just to clarify...charities are interested in stamps that have been franked? I just assumed the interest was in clean stamps.
Thanks!

Yes, they are interested in used stamps, these then get sold in bulk to dealers who then sell them to collectors.

UK has plenty of charities to choose from for your stamp donations -http://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread....ties-want-them but I'm struggling to find the same sort of charities (medical, children's, animals', humanitarian) in the US. Oxfam in the UK and even Canada take stamps but not listed on their US site.

Wow, over 300 have signed up on Bruce's site!

Yeah, I printed the list before I realized it was 17 pages...

Just a random post in support of a great month!

Do they collect only used UK stamps? I have a few from my family over in the UK which I'll be glad to send to them. Thanks.

Yes - oops, I meant UK and worldwide, although some charities prefer the worldwide kept separate from the domestic stamps.

I'd participate if the website kept full names and addresses from general view, more like Postcrossing.

I seem to have accidentally fallen into doing this sort of unofficially, which is rather a tricky challenge for someone who thinks hermits are a bit too outgoing! Any UK geeks who fancy an FP-centric missive with no expectation of reply? Feel free to PM me your address and I'll tell you next to nothing about myself...

They collect used stamps from around the world - although some charities like the UK to be packaged separate to the worldwide stamps.

A thought - if you have signed up for InCoWriMo in past years, and have commented in this forum or on the official site through Disqus, you might want to check your address is still correct or even want to delete it.

Oh Lord... I just found out I'm on the short-list that just went out today haha. RIP my mailbox.

What is the short list? Or did I miss something?

I'm very happy to see Babylonic Cuneiform being promoted as one of the scripts for InCoWriMo 2017, but I am worried whether our modern postal systems will be able to deliver my baked clay tablets reliably.

Royal Mail large letter postage...

[Morgaine]

The Shortlist! - am on it too!

[sgtstretch]

Hey, I'm on it also. How were people selected to be on the short list?

Edit: Maybe I should finish reading first. "this page featured the names and addresses of the first 28 people to sign-up for this years event"

[writingrav]

Shucks, I missed being on it.

That was the first list. This week, a new list has been "randomly" generated.

[Vespagirl]

Whoa I'm there too!
