Description:

This is a really simple penpal swap :p You'll be assigned one partner and you must write them a lovely letter introducing yourself to them! :) That's it! Please only sign up if you're dedicated to the freindships you'll make through this swap! :) I want people to keep this friendship going and have a nice time getting to know each other :p Anybody can sign up to this swap but I will ban anybody that I believe to look dodgy :/

EDIT: handwritten letters are preferred, but if you know someone will struggle to read your handwriting, you can choose to type it if you want! perhaps you could use nice printer paper or decorate the paper in that case? i'm not going to give any page requirements, but please spend time on your letter and give a good introduction of yourself! remember that the point of this swap is to make two lasting friendships, so your partner will have to read your letter and actually want to write back to you.

EDIT 29TH JUNE: i'm extending the send out deadline to the 20th of july to give people a bit longer to get their letters out. i hope nobody minds - you can still send out your letters earlier if you want!

Wow! I've been looking for a way to find a pen pal for a long time. I used to have them as a kid, but they are harder to find as an adult. I just signed up for Swap-Bot today so I hope that you will allow me to join.

Christapaffgen, after the sign-up deadline, I believe your partners are automatically generated?
