Description:

Before we begin, let me just start by saying this is a LONG TERM COMMITMENT/MONEY SWAP. If you can't make that commitment, this may not be the swap for you. If you don't want to be a part of this swap for 20 or more rounds (which could mean over $100 in postage by the time it is all over), this may not be the swap for you. If a year is too long to wait to finish a swap and get your journal back, this is not the swap for you. This swap is a COMMITMENT, and if you can't follow through for the LONG TERM, then perhaps you should pick another swap. I'm sorry to be blunt, but I also want to be honest, and up-front to protect the swappers who do join.

JOINING THIS SWAP DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU WILL EVER SEE YOUR JOURNAL AGAIN. THIS IS A HIGH RISK SWAP, JOIN AT YOUR OWN RISK.

That being said, on to business

If you have a journal you'd like to use from the original series of this swap, feel free to do so.

This is the reboot of the series of shared journal swaps. Here's what happens:

** IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST ROUND.** 1. Obtain a journal/notebook/comp book with at least 80 pages. (Comp books MAY be too big for this swap as they take a lot of time to fill. Just a tip. You can still use them. But journals with slightly smaller proportions may work better.)

2. On the inside front cover write who the journal belongs to - THIS INCLUDES YOUR SCREENNAME!

3. On the back page (or inside back cover) write your name and address and where to send the journal home when it is full.

4. Write a bio about yourself (about a page or so)

5. Then write one journal entry about your day, yourself, your thoughts, life, the world, whatever comes to mind (All of the above?) that you want to write about. (more than a page, please!)

6. On the next page you will then write one journal prompt for your partner to answer.

That's it; send it off to your partner!

NOT YOUR FIRST ROUND: If this is not your first round, that means you have received a journal, and are ready to proceed.

  1. Answer the prompt your partner provided. Really, this should be at least a page. Really give a decent answer.

  2. Add your bio (at least a page)

  3. Add your journal entry (MORE than a page!!!!!!!!)

  4. Add a prompt for your partner to answer

  5. Send it on its merry way!

FOR THE FINE PRINT:

*Required swaps: rated for at least 10 Type 3 swaps

*Rating 4.95

*Very filled-out profile

*Newbies: No newbies at this time. Please feel free to join us once you meet the swap requirements. Believe me, I know what it's like. I joined Swapbot solely for journal swaps, and was rejected numerous times due to newbie status. Enjoy building up your "street cred", and check back for a later swap! :)

I will be going through everyone's ratings, etc, to check over and prevent any issues or flakers on this swap. ----- *ANY suspicious swappers will be removed. I have the final word. I'll be fair, but I'll be strict.

You will have two weeks to send out your journal. Feel free to PM me if there are any questions.

IF YOU POST THE NAME OF WHOSE JOURNAL YOU HAVE IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, I WILL DRAW A WINNER AND SEND YOU A POSTCARD. THIS IS A FUN WAY TO TRY AND KEEP TABS ON OUR JOURNALS. PLUS, WHO DOESN'T LOVE THE CHANCE TO GET SOME HAPPY MAIL?

AmyMarie 09/29/2013 #

I have @mcovey 's journal (again). I had the same journal 2 rounds ago. Anything in the swap to avoid this or just fill it out again (hard to do another bio without repeating myself)?

rosedzi 09/29/2013 #

I have @julztink 's journal!

savannahjan 09/30/2013 #

Amy, you don't need to do another bio. Just reference your previous bio. Unfortunately, there's no way to avoid that. But, it's no big deal. Just write a new entry and journal prompt and you'll be all set! :)

ladylouie 09/30/2013 #

I have @ElizabethObviously 's journal.

IsadoraWing 09/30/2013 #

tadpole102511 10/ 1/2013 #

I have my own journal right now. No issues. I am enjoying the entries already in there and the extras added in for me. :) I will add to it and send it on this round. I'm just thrilled that it's still circulating!! LOL The first one was gone after one round. I'm glad the new set of these appears to be working properly. Thanks @Savannahjan for all your hard work organizing these swaps for us. :)

savannahjan 10/ 2/2013 #

@tadpole102511 is the winner of this month's drawing! Woohoo! I'll get that postcard to ya soon. :)

Have fun working on your journals this month, everyone! :)

Tpartymom 10/ 3/2013 #

I have @Dina 's journal

Tpartymom 10/ 3/2013 #

@dina apparently isn't her swapbot name...Who has mine?

savannahjan 10/ 3/2013 #

What is Dina's first name? It should be in the back cover of the journal.

mcovey 10/ 4/2013 #

sorry Savannahjan wrong person Tparrymom can you rate me for receiving this journal she is wonder where it is

Tpartymom 10/ 4/2013 #

Dinas first name is dina. I dont see a swapbot name for Dina.

mcovey 10/ 4/2013 #

I have Tpartymom I guess that means it is going home to here because that is who I send it to this round --let me know if it should go somewhere else

savannahjan 10/ 4/2013 #

Hmmm...There are no Dina's in the swap, so I have no idea whose journal that is. :-/

@mcovey , yes it will go back to her. There's no way to avoid that with this swap. But she'll just add a new entry when she gets it and send it back out. Or, she has the opportunity to drop from the swap if she wants. Either way, yep, just send to your partner. :)

IsadoraWing 10/10/2013 #

haha that's me. I'm Dina! Glad to see it's still alive!

savannahjan 10/10/2013 #

@Tpartymom would you please write @Isadorawing on the inside cover of the journal to eliminate further confusion.

Tpartymom 10/11/2013 #

I sure will :)

bluecrayons 10/15/2013 #

does anyone have my book?

savannahjan 10/16/2013 #

I do. :) Sending it off today.

mcovey 10/19/2013 #
