Hello all! :)

I'm always looking for new pen pals - I found some great ones on swap-bot so far but there's always room for more :)

So I decided to host this very easy swap.

What you have to do:

  • 1 letter to each of your 2 partners
  • Read your partners' profiles. Thoroughly.
  • Write a nice chatty letter
  • If you don't know your partners yet, please write at least one paragraph about yourself - let them get to know you! Apart from this write about whatever comes to your mind.
  • Write at least 2 A4 pages. If you use A5 paper, double the pages.
  • Ask your partners some questions about themselves!
  • Please mind your partners' profiles - if they don't care about religion, better not talk about this topic... you get it.
  • Include one small flat gift that matches your partners' likes. Just something that makes them smile!

My Rules

You must have a well-filled out Profile. And with well-filled out I mean REALLY well :) It's so exhausting to try to write to someone you don't know and their Profile gives you nothing to work with...

!!Please only join this swap if you're looking for a long-term pen pal!!

Newbies are allowed in this swap - but I will check all profiles thoroughly and ban whomever I don't feel comfortable with.

So, get your pens and papers and let's hope we find some new pen pals!

1 week is a little short - especially for a swap we cant start until after partners are assigned and have to find a profile based flat surprise - maybe consider 2 weeks?

Good point. Edited

Is this letter handwritten or can it be typed? I usually wouldn't ask and would just handwrite, but I have really bad carpole tunnel these days (joys of being pregnant in the summer!) and think typing would be easier for myself.

@meganporter789 this is completely up to the sender :)

Is there a US version of this swap??

owlsinathens 08/ 9/2015 #

@Michellemelady being from Europe I couldn't possibly host a US only swap - but feel free to do so yourself!!

Zoebolt 08/ 9/2015 #

@Michellemelady - if you host a US version, I will join it (while still staying in this one as well of course)

Do you ever assign partners in relation to their age. I am getting up there and altho I like writing to younger people they may prefer someone closer to their own age. I will stay in the swap tho. Chris crispycritter

Hi @Crispycritter swap-bot assigns the partners randomly, I have no power over who gets whom as a partner. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask :)
