I think it's a very workable idea. It also makes 20 things a little less exclusive in that everyone who actually gets around to completing their 20 objects can be involved. That way swaps may be completed at a faster pace as well so that those who finish their projects early don't have to waite on slower participants. I like it. It works with atc's and such, so I don't see why it wouldn't work here as well. :)

Why the extra step?

If this is going to roll over, why not have us send the packages out ourselves... certainly would save you a lot of time.

Of course, it requires a lot more trust in the folks participating... and trust can kinda be hard to come by.

Got it -- thanks -- glad I asked b/c evidently not a redundant ? at all; I mean I didn't think at all for a 2nd about the curating part of it, and that, of course, is v. cool and justifies the hassle of you doing the distribution anyhow. (So tell me what you do with the abysmal crap, i.e. send it to the annoying post-ers ... ones who ask 2 many redundant ?s . . . or, oh no! match em up, crap per crap, which means I know what I'll have 2 look 4ward 2, ha, ha. now aren't you so glad I opened that line of inquiry---)

But in all seriousness, now, I see yes that it's much better to ship them to u, for scads of reasons and I'm glad to do it that way alright; and sure, it is def a labor of love for you. Way down in Charleston SC I'm not able 2 b of help, this time anyhow, and 1)again, thanks! and 2)I can offer any copy help that might b helpful --- writer and editor so there's that 2 offer, and happy to just give something or other a last round look-over even if u find yourself wanting a fast smart final fresh eyes proof. Just let me know ---
