Description:

Easy swaps are always enjoyable, but why not add a bit of a twist to things?

For this swap you'll send something to your partner that requires a bit of work...

Have you ever tried writing a crossed letter? -Perhaps now is the time to give it a shot! Instead of sending a story on a postcard, maybe spread it out onto 4 cards and have the recipient figure out which order they should be read in - You might even want to send those cards on different days. Write a nice letter and then rip it up into 5-10 pieces before putting it into an envelope. Oops! Did you spill some water onto your stationery after using an inky pen?

Elaborate fonts, odd ink colors, busy background papers and writing in code are all allowed just make sure whatever you send is legible/can be interpreted. Your piece of mail should be fun and only mildly frustrating. Please keep in mind that your partner should have some way of figuring out what you've written.

Participants must have at least a 4.9 rating, no recent (last 2 months) 1s or 3s, and NEWBIES (with completely filled-out profiles) WELCOME.

Let me know if you have any questions and have fun swapping! I truly hope no one flakes, but I'll be glad to "Angel" if necessary!

Hmmmm. Interesting!! Gonna keep an eye on this and see if I can think of something good. My 7 (ish) page typed intro might make a fun puzzle. :)

Love the idea. If I get it done by 29th I am in. (Newbie, but excited.)

@darkflowerpower Just remember you don't have to have your items DONE by the signup date.. you can finish and send any time before the final send by date! Thank you for considering it and welcome to SB!

how long does the letter have to be at least ? =P

Bizzitybam 04/28/2013 #

@newsong I think one page should be the minimum
