Description:

With her permission, I am taking over this swap for Faun00 for the time being. Image borrowed from Faun00's swap series

This is a continuing swap, and the rules will be the same as in previous Blackout Poetry Swaps. I will be hosting one at least every three weeks as long as there is interest. You will have one week after your partner is assigned to send.

For this swap, photocopy a page from your favorite book (or you may use an actual book page if you like). Black out all but a few words creating a poem from the words.

To make this nice for people to put in their journal your info will NOT be on the back... You will put at least your name, date, location (i.e. city, state, country, as it's always nice to see where your swaps came from) and final poetry words on a separate paper to be put into your partner's journal on a facing page.

You will have 2 partners and will send a different photocopied blackout poem to each of them (you can always send more if you feel inspired). Pages should be no larger than composition book page size (apprx 7.5 x 9.5).You can decorate it if you wish, but it is not a requirement. Use your imagination and have fun! Send something you would like to receive.

We will NOT actually mail journals around, but we will decorate our own journals to paste our received poetry into. Please use a book that is at least composition notebook size, as that should be about the right size for any of the swaps you get.

A rating of 4.8 or above please to participate in this swap. Message me if you are lower, but I will not tolerate flakers. Will angel if necessary. Responsible newbies welcome.

Thank you for continuing this for me, we have had a lot going on at home and am only starting to get back into swapping(for my own sanity :-) We have had a lot of illness and it sees to not be slowing so thank you again. (I just put this on the last page but as it was almost over thought I should re-post it here)

I apologize everyone. I will assign partners later today. We had to take an emergency trip back to my hometown and all I have is my phone...not friendly for checking swappers b4 assigning. I will hunt down a pc and make this happen for everyone. Thank you for your patience and happy swapping! (1 a.m. CST)
