Calling all writers to an Inspiration Scavenger Hunt!

I want you to pack a package for your partner that makes her/ him write, in which form she/ he ever might do that: story, poem, lyrics, blog-post ...

Get creative, open your eyes to the things and people that are around you and rise your awareness about all things inspiring! For example you could send things you find on the street, photos, drawings, creative writing prompts, articles/ cuttings from magazines/ newspapers, handmade things, programs from events, whatever inspires you and makes you think that it would probably inspire your partner as well.

CAREFUL! This is no profile-swap, so you please don't go into a dollar-store and buy stuff you think your partner will like! This is about making or collecting things that inspire your partner to create, unusual things, things that make you look twice, and it is probably more inspiring to send your partner something they never mentioned and won't expect. On the other hand, you please don't just collect random items from the streets! What you send has to be inspiring, making you itch to create, and one such item is more worth than five random "stuffs". ;-)

I won't put a spending-limit on that one as you could easily spend no money at all - and I am counting on the sense of honour of those who participate.

Due to that and the worth of that swap (and by that, I do not mean money alone but time/ energy/ "swap-love") I will be very restricting with allowing people.

Only people with more than 10 hearts in package swaps (no electronic or postcard-swaps) will be allowed, and I will ban anyone who has a rating lower than 4.8 and/ or 1s or 3s in the last 6 months as well as people I have a feeling they might flake; I am tempted to not allow newbies, but if you're newbie and interested, please pm me and I will have a look (not promising anything!). Banning, if necessary, will be done one day before closing-date, on October 9th.

I will make that swap international, and due to postage, you might consider to stick to a flat envelope, but envelopes/ packages in all sizes are allowed.

Though I hope it won't be necessary, I would angel.

To sum it up: You don't know what you might get and how much of it, but it will make you write and write and write. :-)

Come play, have fun and write loads!

I hope that my swap partner enjoys their inspiration package. I've been working on it for awhile, and will probably send it a little bit early because November is an atrocious month for school deadlines.

Is less is more? What if we send a bunch of things, but they can all be considered inspirational and interesting enough to spark some sort of writing?

I think I've figured it out. :)
