Description:

First off, this swap is based on an idea that @Mrswhiffin had for a tag game - thanks for letting me run with your idea and create this swap!

For this swap, you will write a letter to one swap partner. Within your letter, you will answer a bunch of specific questions!

THE FUN: Each participant will get to come up with one question for all of the participants to answer and will post that question in the swap comments. Questions can be anything - serious, silly, simple, open-ended, use your imagination! Please post only one question and please do not post a question until you are sure you will participate in the swap. I will email the list of questions to all the participants once the swap begins so everyone will have the full list.

THE CHALLENGE: You must weave the answers to the questions into your letter. Do not send a survey-style list of questions and answers. Rather, do your best to include the answers in a conversational way, as you would in any normal letter.

Letter may be handwritten or typed - however you typically write letters to penpals. As far as length, use common sense based on how much space it takes to answer all the questions and also make it a good penpal letter for your partner.

REQUIREMENTS: All participants must have a filled-out profile. Experienced swappers must have a 4.9 rating and no recent or unexplained 1 ratings. Newbies (those with fewer than 10 ratings) are welcome but MUST PM ME FIRST. Any newbies who don't PM first will be banned. I've found that this is a good way to make sure those who join have read the entire swap requirements and reading full requirements is a good indicator that someone won't flake!

If you could relive on day of your life, which would it be and why?

This is pure imagination, no harm intended, it's just imaginary, never hope this will happen, but I find it quite an interesting question.

Imagine you have to leave your home, for whatever reason, all your loved ones and pets are SAVE. You can only take one material item with you (money, ID etc will be provided for you) what would it be and why would you take that item with you? :)

junemoon 04/ 8/2010 #

Very interesting swap idea -- thanks for posting it.

My questions: What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Bucket 04/ 8/2010 #

Since so many of these questions are serious and open-ended, I'll throw in an easy one to weave in:

What color socks are you wearing today?

Virou 04/ 8/2010 #

What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?

mrswhiffin 04/ 8/2010 #

What is the one item in your handbag that you can't live without? (keys & phone not included ;) )

Thanks for making this into a swap bucket, you rock!

Marjoleinaneth 04/ 9/2010 #

I you where able to talk to your younger self, what kind of advice would you give you?

Marjoleinaneth 04/ 9/2010 #

Okay so 'I' should be 'If'! Man I suck at writing things the right way in one go, I need an edit button! ;)

DanielleJess 04/ 9/2010 #

This swap is brilliant! :) I'm not creative like the others here so hope my question's ok for everyone :)

What's your dream job?

bookwormleah 04/ 9/2010 #

Do you think Elvis is still alive?

samash 04/ 9/2010 #

I know this one seems weird it will just to add a bit of strangeness to the questions we already have.

How do you eat your biscuits?

For exampe chocolate, do you eat/lick/bite all the chocolate first, do you just bite it, dip it in your drink etc... remember there are creams, jams etc... type biscuits too.

nanachan 04/ 9/2010 #

How do you see yourself at 50 years old?

justchiara 04/10/2010 #

If you could interview any celebrity, dead or alive, who would it be and what would you ask them (3-5 questions)?

lexieforever 04/10/2010 #

what did you eat today?

smallhawk 04/11/2010 #

If someone had to live a typical day of your life pretending to be you, what advice would you give them?

ex. Do you have a specific routine they would need to follow or way you interact with certain people?

kaypendragon 04/11/2010 #

Who is your favorite all time movie villian?

zanylady 04/11/2010 #

WOW! These are some great questions. Some are a bit heavy and seem to require a couple of pages each. Good luck to the participants. I like to write letters but not books! Have fun!

thefancyladygourmet 04/12/2010 #

okay heres my question if you had a movie made about your life who would you cast (famous people) to play you and to play the 3 most important people in your life?

lexieforever 04/12/2010 #

i think this is going to end up being too time consuming for me. sorry to drop, have fun!

Lamira 04/12/2010 #

Well here is a question. What would you say that would decribe your life partner if you have one or best friend?

Bucket 04/12/2010 #

If anyone further joins the swap, PLEASE only add a simpler question! The idea here was to be able to weave the answers into the letter in a fun way, and we have more than enough thought-provoking open-ended questions. Thanks!

50DaysOfSummer 04/12/2010 #

I also need to drop :( I love the idea, still, but I think I won't have the time for all these questions :( Maybe next time :(

DarbyFlats 04/12/2010 #

I just signed up. Instead of adding a question, I will offer to angel for anyone who flakes. (Hopefully, it will be unnecessary.) I figure there are enough questions at this point... or, if you'd like I can just assume one of the questions by someone who dropped. Let me know! :)

bblue 04/12/2010 #

Ok, easy: What's your favourite colour combination?

samash 04/13/2010 #

Its a shame there are so many movie type ones as I don't even watch them, know all that many actors/actresses to be able to name.

I'm still taking part but its probably spoiled things a little in my letter :(

samash 04/15/2010 #

I've written and sent me letter today, usually I hate first letters but this was so much fun trying to weave the questions in even though I couldn't do it with all of them. I hope everyone else enjoys theres too and I'd love to do a swap like this again.

savannahjan 04/19/2010 #

I hope you do this again! Somehow I missed this one and would've loved to participate!
