Whilst interesting, it makes me wonder about time scale...
For now, I think the idea of paired participants is a good, easy start.

I too have read the threads where one negative gets passed around, with the completed prints uploaded to a certain gallery. Not sure I could handle the wait to see all the prints uploaded.
I have also read about a 'camera swap', where one camera with one film in it, is being passed around the world, with each participant taking just the one(?) exposure each before posting it to the next person.
It appears to still be going years after it first started!

However, I suspect we can probably all do 35mm? Certainly based on the print exchanges it would suit most potential participants.
If we have: A sends to B, B sends to F, F sends to C etc I think you lose some of that clarity.

Your finding also surprised me Skellum, I too thought that most prints were made from MF negatives, but I have 35mm gear (that doesn't get as much use as maybe it should) so would be happy to shoot a roll in this format.
As for the 'A sends to B, B sends to F, F sends to C etc', well I too think it wouldn't have the same feel to it and with immediate negative swaps, you do have two people interpreting the same two negatives.
As for my experiences with the swaps, I always found that they went fine and found it interesting to see other peoples interpretations of both one of mine and one of their negatives.
Bring it on!!!
