Description:

So I have recently gotten into doing the alter journals. I'm normally not a dark person, however I love scary movies and I love the dark, gothic, macabre stuff, so why not do a journal as such?

You will create one dark journal to send to your partner. You will alter or decorate both covers, inside and outside. You will have 25 different themes you MUST use in your entries. The way they are put into the journal is your own creation, just as long as they are all there.

Entries:

  • Halloween in general
  • Serial Killer (choose a specific serial killer to talk about)
  • dragons
  • mutilation
  • s & m/ bondage/ dominatrix
  • cementaries
  • death
  • fire
  • torture
  • moon
  • darkness
  • ghosts
  • vampires
  • blood
  • monsters
  • your favorite scary movie
  • skulls
  • guns/knives/weapons of some kind
  • Rocky Horror Picture Show
  • True crime

There are only 20 in this list. You have the opportunity to come up with your own versions for the last 5 entries. Be creative and be dark, that is what this journal is all about.

You can collage, sketch, doodle, paint, draw, scrapbook, or write about these subjects. However, there must be a minimum of 10 of your 25 entries that feature drawings or collages of some sort. This is an alter journal...to me that means it's not all about the writing...it's also about being creative in how you portray the subject.

If you have other ideas about what we can include for the mandatory 20 entries, let me know and I can add them to the list and then you can pick your favorite 20.

This is not a journal entry per day. You can begin this as soon as you sign up for the swap.

The journal must be at least 5 x 7 inches or bigger.

Stipulations:

  • Must have a rating of 4.95

  • Must have a fully filled out profile and logged in within 3 days from the day I assign partners.

  • Must have been rated in 10 Type 3 packages. Sorry Newbies.

  • I reserve the right to ban at my discretion.

2 weeks is a little short for 25 entries. Watching for now. :)

Please host this swap again soon.. Hopefully by then I would have completed 10 swaps :)

@user2637

That's why i said you can start working on it now. And 2 weeks seems like a fine amount of time to me even if you only worked on it after partners are assigned. Like I also stated, it is not an entry a day...so you could do the whole journal in a day if you wanted to/had the time to.

OMG This is such a rad swap. I so wish I was not new here as this is right up my street. Im going to make this anyway and hope you do one again.

This sounds really sweet, but yeah...2 weeks is definitely not enough time for me to do all of it :(((( I'm slow and have a busy life!!

I put a few teaser pictures onto my Flickr profile of some of the pages from my Journal, they are unfinished journal page pictures as i want my partner to be suprised/like the finished product. Hope she gets it soon :-)
