Once Upon A ... Reply from the Heart

This swap's theme is: Once Upon A ... Reply from the Heart!

We often hear of Valentines sent, but that’s only half the tale. For what of the receiver, and their intent? Will cupid’s arrow hit or fail?

For this swap you will write a response to an imaginary Valentine’s message you have received. This can be set during any lifetime, in any part of the world, in any time setting. You can have any type of connection you wish to the original sender, and your letter will be a response to theirs.

You can choose how your persona would have reacted to opening the initial message - were their hands trembling with nerves as they recognised the handwriting? … Have you been set up to be courted by someone you secretly hate? … is it from a complete stranger yet their words were so tender you want to know more? Was it an email? A carrier pigeon? Will your response be curious, romantic, falsely warm, or cutting and blunt?

You should write two A5 pages at a minimum with the key element to be that it should convey an emotional response to the initial message you are meant to have received. This of course will not have anything at all to do with your real life swap partner so please make up false names to use!

Please consider decorating your envelope a little too - it always adds an extra touch of excitement and magic!

This swap is for people with 4.95 rating min. and those under 4.98 will be reviewed prior to partners being allocated to ensure no recent 1s or 3s. Please rate a 5 if you receive a swap with a two page letter written on theme.
