Description:

The original swap I joined back then was created by @GrrrMeoww who has not been online for a while. I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes for re-doing it. Last time I had great fun writing a letter that was not quite as normal as the usual first letters are :)

The original swap went like this:

"Ever get a penpal letter and wonder if your pal grew up in a convent? Do the usual, "Hi, my name is Dorothy, I have a cute puppy and live with my dear old granny." letters bore you to death? (Or are you worried you'll scare your buddy away in two letters or less?)

Then this is the penpal swap for you, my creepy little friend.

Basically, you will write to one partner a basic introduction letter with one simple twist- in this letter, you will introduce your "bad" side. (Whatever it is about you that you think other people don't always approve of, whether it is your religious beliefs, sexual preferences/orientation, or your dark sarcasm. (Or all of the above.) Of course, also write about the rest of yourself, it's a penpal letter after all, not a confessional. (Obviously my main problem would be the sarcasm....lol)

RULES: Let's all be nice now- no homophobia, racism, or deliberately offensive letters, please!

Letters CAN (and are encouraged to be) of an "adult" nature, so don't join if you have delicate sensibilities. :P"

RECAP:

We will write a pen pal letter to our partner, introducing ourselves to them. But instead of only selling ourselves as the perfect pen pal we will reveal a different side of us, a side we would normally not talk about in a first letter. Who knows, maybe you'll find that your partner is just the same. ;)

I am not dictating length but I encourage to write at least a page so the other person gets to know you.

Please do not sign up for this swap if you are overly sensible. Keep the content of the letter confident, I assume that is a given. Your partner should feel comfortable about being open and honest. But use common sense when writing the letter. The goal is to make a pen pal, a friend. :)

I hope I made this clear enough and am not stepping on anyone's toes by reviving this swap :)

Like always, no flakers. Only sign up if you can commit. Newbies allowed with well filled out profiles. No recent one's or three's, I check all profiles before assigning partners and claim the right to ban anyone fishy.

Questions? Just ask...
