Description:

Hi all you once upon a timers I'm taking this over for amandat0913 for as long as she wants I hope she will be rejoining us later. I'm new at hosting so I hope you all will bear with me and haven't figured out the markdown syntax yet. So if anyone out there has any advise about how that works PM me. So here we go.

This is the 5th swap in a series of Once Upon A Time Journal Swaps.

IF YOU TOOK PLACE IN THE FOURTH ROUND: You have received a journal with the beginnings of a story in it. Your job is now to add 4 or 5 pages to that story, and leave your partner an unfinished sentence to pick up at (i.e. "when all of a sudden....), and then send the journal off to your partner.

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST ROUND: By all means, feel free to join in the fun!

How it's done: Use a new journal, blank book, composition book or something similar, 80 pages at least.

On the front cover, write what the journal is for and who you are, on the back page write your name and address and where to send the journal home when it is full.

Then, in the journal, write the beginning of a story starting with the words "Once upon a time". Keep in mind this is only the start of a story, not the whole thing. After writing 4 or 5 pages of the story, leave your swap partner a sentence fragment to pick up the storyline at ("....when all of a sudden"....).

Upon receiving your story/journal, your partner will read over your story and add 4 or 5 more pages to it, leaving their partner a sentence fragment to start the next part of the story at.

There will be many of these swaps hosted in order to eventually get these journals home to their originators, full of a big long story, pieced together by many creative folks like themselves.

Please, keep the story content to a PG-13 rating. This swap will be USA-only, due to postage and swap receipt/timing issues.

Rating minimum is 4.95; flakers will be culled before partners are assigned. Newbies with well-filled-out profiles are welcome, as long as their rating is high enough. and have completed a bare-bones minimum of 5 mail-based swaps.

If you have ANY questions, any at ALL, please PM me or comment below.

Thanks!

Shannoncollar if your partner was amanda she said she was mailing it out in a few days let me know if don't get it in a week. If you think you might need more time I can change the sign up date. Let me know.

I was wondering if there is anyone else from outside the USA who would like to do this? Id love to join in but I´m in the wrong part of the world lol

Thank you for pushing back the sign up and angeling for me. The journal arrived today, and I can't wait to read and write in it.

Tartelette you might want to try Short Story Journal swap at http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/132408 It's similar to this swap.

Does anyone in the swap happen to have the journal that belongs to me, Starrycat? my partner in the first round of this I joined... round 2, never rated me, so I am interested to discover if any of you have the journal by chance!

I've got @badandknowsit2 's journal and need to add on to it to fulfill this swap. I'm a little sad that this next round has taken so long to get here, but perhaps I should be grateful since I still haven't decided on how to add to her story.

PukeFacedFreak 11/13/2012 #

YES! Finally finished. :) I'm wondering if anyone here has MY journal. I've been typing up the one's I've been adding too, but have forgotten to type of my first journal before I sent it off. I'm wondering if my partner can type at least my first entry up and send it to me. I wanted to put it on my blog.
