Description:

Who doesn't dream of being someone else once in a while? This is a perfect swap to explore that and show off your creative writing skills. Even though Halloween has passed, I decided to make this horror themed. Can't get enough of that just because it's not Halloween, now can we?

For this swap you will need a store bought or hand made note book/journal/book. In it you will write a journal like story as your horror alter ego. Your alter ego can be anything from serial killer to an alien from another planet. Feel free to decorate the outside and inside of the story book as you like. You can of course add pictures, drawings and other stuff to make it personal.

What to write? you might ask. Well, it's partly up to you but there are some things that should be included/how to write:

  • You should introduce your alter ego as good as possible, not only writing something short like "I'm a werewolf..."

  • Write in first-person narrative.

  • Be creative, go crazy, get scary! Use every ounce of your imagination to tell your partner what your character has done during the day/night. How the life of your alter ego is and so on.

  • It doesn't have to be present day, your alter ego might live in the future or centuries ago.

  • It should contain at least 30 pages (more than 30 are of course better). If you know that your handwriting is hard to read, you can of course type it in the computer. (Remember to use a good font)

You will have one partner to whom you send this journal. It's an international swap. You have to have a rating of at least 4.7 and completed at least 5 swaps, e-mail doesn't count. I will look at every participants profile before assigning partners and I will ban the ones that seem fishy. If you have any questions, just ask :)

What an interesting swap! Watching for now

Awesome, I'm in. I'm going to do mine by computer and bind it myself. This way I can make an awesome creepy cover and whoever gets it won't have to try to read my handwriting. lol.

PrettyPoetStacy I like your idea. If I join up I might do the same, OK?
