Description:

For this swap, let your imagination out to play and bring a little magic and creativity into the world :) You will have until the end of June to write a short story with a magical/fantasy theme and send it out to your partners by post. You will have two partners and will send each a copy of the same story.

Your story must be at least 1,000 words... and let's say no more than around 5,000. It can be typed or handwritten. Your story can be about whatever you like, from a retelling of traditional fairytale to something bursting with dragons, wizards and enchanted trees!

The swap is just for the short story. The joy of writing/reading it the most important thing! However, you may of course include an extra or two if you like... perhaps some tea or hot chocolate for your partner to enjoy while reading, illustrations, a letter explaining your inspiration, short story/book recommendation or a magical postcard.

(These are just suggestions if you fancy sending something extra and are by no means required. Ratings and hearts should focus on the story itself.)

Everyone welcome :) Happy to angel. Any questions, please get in touch.

I have now made this swap type 3 as I feel it falls under "time intensive craft".

To clarify, about the paragraph "To make this swap extra special..." - Were those simply suggestions? Is choosing one or more of those a part of the actual swap requirement? If so, is it indeed one or "more"? Sorry, the "perhaps" has thrown me off and I just want to make sure I have a clear idea of the expectations. :D

@anandatashie Thanks for your query, that's a very good point. I will reword that bit to make it a little clearer (hopefully!). They are just suggestions, the short story is the most important thing (and that is special enough already!)

Technically they will be mailed on Monday the 1st of July, as no mail goes out on Sunday. I need to pay more attention to when swaps end on Sundays. UGH. Also, I am sending a different story to each person. I hope no one minds.

@cynaemon Thanks for letting me know. I probably should have set the end date for the Monday! :)
