Description:

I love the new Quick New Pen Pal Swap created recently. However, I was not able to sign up because I do not have a 5.0 rating:( Im close but because I was sick and had a late swap, my rating went down:( Very disappointing. I love love love the details and concept of that swap. But I do not want to play copy cat. So I am hosting a general pen pal swap. You will have 1 partner. The rules are pretty simple.

1) please be willing to invest time and a commitment into your new pen pal. This is a long term, possibly lifetime pen pal you might end up with. So please only sign up if you intend on writing your pen pal regularly and long term.

2) Please keep this snail mail only. An occasional email or two is fine but the idea of this is to ensure you recieve snail mail versus emails.

3) My last and final requirement...have fun! I used to have pen pals back in my teen years that have all fallen away and I miss them so much! I really want to find someone I click with and enjoy hearing and sending with!

@whispermova You have said this is snail mail, but the swap is listed as Type 1: electronic.

@whispernova you never sent the swap in 2012- it is still showing on your profile.

You say only sign up if you are intending to write to your pal regularly. What happens if you are partnered with someone you have nothing in common with and there is a vast difference in ages.

Grstamping, it is showing as flat mail to me. Is it still showing up as electronic on your end?

whispernova 11/29/2014 #

Sorry, that last comment was directed at Tizzicat.

whispernova 11/29/2014 #

grstamping, yes I did. I mailed it a month late because of a serious illness I came down with. I emailed my partner and told her this and never heard back from her. Im not sure why it is showing as not sent. Perhaps it is cause I was very sick and never marked as sent. I will go archive it now. Thanks for making me aware of that.

Hi there, whispernova :) I am interested in - but have a general question: Do we only handwrite our letters or may we even type them? With curious but best seasonal regards!
