In my opinion a list is better than just putting the names after each other. To me it’s easier to read and find the name I might have when they are listed.

I agree, it’s easy to scan through the name list, if I think I might have some art card, so I would leave it as it is. Also, I think it’s good that it’s at the end of the list, so it’s not confusing.

I also are for a name list, that seem cleaner than a write them in one long line.

Thank you so much for all your input 
so helpful!
I will add the note that it is a list of artists for clarity @elanlei.
But I will leave it as a list. I think that would be easiest to read.
I did indeed put it at the bottom to make it easiest @S_Tuulia

It’s perfectly fine!
If you can, somehow, shorten it a tiny bit.
I have made better experiences with shorter profiles. From my experience, when the profile is too long many people don’t read it. With shorter profiles I have gotten more cards that match my wishes (however I don’t really care, the message is the most important thing to me).
I don’t mean you need to shorten the text (mine is just as long I would say) but get rid of a few of the blank spaces at the bottom (it will seem shorter and people won’t be that overwhelmed).
I would say that yours is definitely too long. I would shorten it. I have had much better experiences with shorter profile texts. I think many people are overwhelmed by long profiles and don’t read them.
Also the “what kind of postcard would I like to receive”-part is pretty far down so some people might overlook it.
I find the last part unnecessary as well. Don’t get me wrong, I would hate to receive postcards with any of these themes as well. But I don’t think many people send these cards and if they do they probably wouldn’t care anyway whether you’d want them or not.
Overall you profile is very nice

I’d love some feedback! I’m regularly tweaking my profile. I used to keep both a forum and official profile, but it became tedious to update both, so I now just have the official profile.
I would love any feedback regarding my profile, please and thank you!

My only suggestion would be to check for some grammatical errors (mostly punctuation and capitalization), but that’s just the writer in me talking. Despite that, it’s easy to follow and friendly.
The first few questions in your profile I would recommend saving for writing in a card, or shorten the responses to make it flow less like a Q+A. Otherwise, good information and I particularly like how you asked to have specific cards not sent.
Thank you for your service. It is extremely appreciated.
You include a lot of good information. Plenty of personal info, which is good.
Your list has some items that could be combined to make it look shorter (example, combine your animals into one bullet).
While the information is good, I don’t think it’s necessary to include the information about the white strip on US cards. I’d also move the No Envelopes information up where you indicate you like written/stamped cards.
Otherwise, I’d know exactly what to send you and frankly, would love to swap with you. My available cards are here (http://bit.ly/avail-postcards), send me a DM if interested.
Hello @jewelldelis, I like your profile text, it’s fun to read it.
In the poll, I ticked both options about the wishes ( hard and easy to fulfill) because for me some a hard others easy. But, please don’t change your cards suggestion, since you also wrote at the top, you like any cards, I would simply choosen one that fits your interest.

Thanks Jarana! I appreciate the feedback (and explanation of both choices - I was confused for a second, lol). I try to keep the interest open, but provide examples, can you share some interests that may be hard to fulfill? I want to make it as easy to send a card as possible.
@Robinchen
Your personal information is great. The postcard definition isn’t really necessary, just indicating you’d like the cards written and stamped is enough.
I’m not sure the RR paragraph is relevant. I believe all RRs are treated separately and rules from one RR shouldn’t be considered to another.
I love your 2021 goal, but given you want view/tourist cards, you may want to elaborate.
Your list is a little inclusive on card type, but because those are your interests it’s not a bad thing. I would just recommend editing for capitalization and punctuation.
Just sharing your collection is enough rather than an explanation, which will help shorten your profile.
If you still cannot think of anything to send to me, send me a card that you would love to receive yourself. Maybe also tell my why this card.
Maybe add this to the bottom of your list. I would have missed this in a quick run through.
The last paragraph can be shorted to say you prefer no handmade, ad, used, etc. postcards.
All your information is good, it is just very wordy and can be shorted to keep your profile easy to read.

These wishes are hard to fulfill for me:
Animated Films (Stitch, Belle, Moana Alice in Wonderland, Nightmare Before Christmas, Emporer’s New Groove, Road to El Dorado, How to Train Your Dragon, etc.)
Television (Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, etc.)
BBC Fandoms (Doctor Who, Sherlock, etc.)
Harley Quinn/Deadpool
Lunar New Year/Year of the Ox/Horse
Aries/INTJ
Pagan/Wiccan/Halloween (year-round)
Creepy/Gothic
Paranormal/Supernatural/Mythology/Legends
Anime (Sailor Moon, InuYasha, Studio Ghibli, etc.)
Quirky/Eccentric/Offensive
Erotic/NSFW/Pin-Up - especially Hilda
I think this is because some of them are only popular in certain countries, like the television series. (Or maybe in big cities, where I don´t live in).
I like that you write “your favourite card” at the top of the list, everybody has something like that, and I would know what to send to you, when all the other suggestions “failed”

Oh yeah, I totally understand that. I find cards (like view cards or all the cards with the acronyms) hard to find, too. I hope that despite the suggestions that may be localized there’s still enough on there that if someone wanted to send an interest of mine (rather than their favorite card) they had something from which to choose. Do you think?
I’ve also edited some of those categories to be more concise so it’s less wordy.

Your profile is really well written and has the perfect amount of everything to it. Very friendly and inviting. I only suggest checking grammar, punctuation, but that’s just me being nitpicky and isn’t necessary.
