Description:

“Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air: And like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.”
- from 'The Tempest' by William Shakespeare

Swap description
In this swap you will capture the fragment of a dream – whichever dream, whichever fragment is your choice. This swap is for all of those moments when you wake in the morning or in the middle of the night after dreaming vividly – then you try to make sense of everything that happened inside your head just moments before, and it all slips away & just doesn't make sense, any more. Whatever fleeting image, words or feeling are left with you, after your dream, use as the starting point for your zine. Or write about/illustrate whatever the concept of dreaming conjures up to you.

Write a story or poem, create artwork, meander randomly through whatever thoughts go through your head, combine a collage of ideas in whatever manner you choose. Use whatever format/materials suit your ideas best, and handwrite or type, as you prefer. Illustrate with photos, sketches, doodles or just stick with text: it's up to you.

Swap requirements:
Your zine should be made from a minimum of 3 A4/letter-sized pages (making 12 pages folded once to half-size, or 24 pages cut to quarter-size) & bound however you like.

The obvious bit:
You already had to have a rating of 4.9+ with no recent no-sends, 1s or 3s to join this group anyway, so the same stands for this swap. But I will still double-check before assigning partners, so if you have what you feel is an unfair comment or rating, just PM me & we can try to work it out. :-)

That's fine - go for it :-)

I've also edited the description slightly so that it doesn't have to begin with a particular captured dream-image. It can be about whatever the concept of dreaming inspires you to write about/create.

And I've also edited number of swap partners - I accidentally set it at 1 partner, but intended it to be 3. Hope that's okay with everyone.
