Description:

I hosted this swap in early June, and had several requests to do a repeat, as dates didn't work out for the first round. So let's do it again! :) If you joined the original swap in June, and wish to join again, we'd be happy to have you! :)

This swap will be International, and you will have one partner. :)

If you've never read a Stephen King book, or if you're not a fan of his writing, this isn't the swap for you! This swap is geared for those of us who have read, listened to, or watched King's works, and are fans of his work.

The swap:

I am a Stephen King fan. I'm not in love with everything he writes, but I've read them all (at least once), and we share the books as a family to such a degree that we call him "Uncle Steve" in our house! This is a flat mail swap, just a letter or a card, and will be a fairly quick turn around. You will have 1 partner, and the swap is International, as Mr King has fans world wide. :)

In a letter or on a note card to your partner (handwritten or typed, either is fine) tell your partner how you first were introduced to Stephen King's books, if you have favorites, or any you really don't like.

Some questions to consider (but not required):

Do you collect all the books you read?

Have you listened to any on audio book?

Do you have a favorite narrator for his books?

Have you ever attended a talk he has given about his books, or been to a book signing?

What about the Dark Tower series? Have you read it, what did you think?

Are you a fan of the movies that have been made from his books, or the TV shows? Do you have a favorite? Please share! :)

The questions above are just suggestions to get your thoughts moving, you don't have to answer them all - or, really, any of them. Just tell your partner how you first "met" Stephen King, talk about favorites, etc. You know, fan talk. :) The letter about "fan talk" for Uncle Steve is the only requirement for the swap. Envelope art, tuck in's, etc, are up to the sender. This swap isn't profile based, so you can work on it ahead of time, if you wish.

Be sure to include the name of the swap and your swap-bot ID on the letter or in the envelope. Send on time! If you are going to be late, please communicate! When you receive your swap, please rate your partner.

I'm going to do a manual rating on this one, checking over profiles. If you have a rating under 4.98 please be sure you've addressed the reasons on your profile - comment about any 1's or 3's.

New swappers are welcome, but your profile needs to be well filled out. that means several sections of information. If I have any questions about your profile or ratings, I will send you a message - if you don't reply, you will be banned from the swap. Communication is key!

If you have any questions or comments Please PM me! as I don't often check comments, so I'll probably miss you question!

EDIT 7/3/18: I've had several questions and comments along the lines of 'what if I get the same partner again?' It could happen, of course, and if it does, maybe you could focus on the book you most recently read by Sai King, the book you enjoyed the most, or the one you liked the least. :) It is, of course, up to you, but I hope you consider joining again. This may be the most successful - possibly the most fun! - swap I've hosted here on SB. :)

I highly recommend this swap! I really enjoyed the letter I received from my partner in the first version :-)

USAFwife 06/28/2018 #

So glad to hear you enjoyed it! :) feel free to join again. :)

Babsmomof5 06/28/2018 #

Oh I agree, this was a stellar swap idea, I look forward to round 2!

Drachenfrau 06/29/2018 #

But what if I get the same partner? lol

USAFwife 07/ 3/2018 #

Thank you, everyone, I'm so glad you enjoyed the first round of the swap. :) It has been fun so far! :)

I'm so excited. My partner, I hope she likes LONG ASS letters! But as I see this is done more than once, I'll at least limit it to one or two SK stories, so I have more for the next round.

CajunLady 07/26/2018 #

So has anyone watched Castle Rock on Hulu?!

USAFwife 07/30/2018 #

Sadly, we don't have Hulu. I haven't seen 11/22/63 either, and I really, really want to! DID finally watch "The Dark Tower" movie. Ugh.

But! Almost time to assign partners! Hope everyone is ready! :)

Just found this swap so I missed the deadline but if you go for a round three, I'm in.

USAFwife 08/ 2/2018 #

@Johannag11 - I just might! I received 3 other PM's about another round of this, so I'm considering it! Might be the most 'popular' swap I've hosted in all my years on SB. :) haha!
