Okay. I saw someone else's question about this--referred to the rules at the top of the page. I have read the rules. But it doesn't tell me what I want to know.
When I decide I want to participate in VSN...I...
Sign up somewhere? By when? NO NEED TO SIGN UP, JUST SHOW UP
When I'm in the thick of things...I...
Keep my computer up? To where? (I use dial up internet access in a different part of the house than my stamping area.) IN THE VIRTUAL STAMP NIGHT FORUM, WHICH IS UNDERTHE CHALLENGES FORUMS
Do I watch for the challenges to be posted? YES
How often do the challenges come up? USUALLY ABOUT EVERY 45 MINUTES, BUT THERE ARE USUALLY A FEW EXTRAS THROWN IN ALONG THE WAY
How long do we have? USUALLY 45 MINUTES, YOUR VSN HOSTESS WILL TELL YOU HOW LONG YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE. YOU HAVE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY AT NOON TO UPLOAD YOUR CARDS.
What is the procedure for downloading the cards we make? USE THE KEYWORD GIVEN THE NIGHT OF VSN AND UPLOAD AS USUAL USING THE CORRECT STAMP SET NAME
What are all those SEPTVSN_ (for example) codes? What does the last letter mean? THEY WILL BE GIVEN BY AUBREY (MONTIGG), THE LAST LETTER IS ASSIGNED TO A TIME SLOT THAT YOU CAN USE TO FIND THEIR CHALLENGE
Needless to say I feel a bit in the dark about all the fun everybody has doing this! Clue me in!
Don't forget to go to the VSN forum and get MonTigg's snail mail address so you can send prizes, postage or a donation if you'd like. This is not mandatory, but it sure helps.
Hope to see you there! Watch the VSN forum for further details. It will be on November 19th!
