Description:

It's been a long while since I've hosted a public swap, but I stumbled across this 100 Questions List that was part of one of the first swaps I ever did here on Swap-Bot and thought, you know...let's do this thing.

The original swap was a letter swap hosted by @Laylaaaface but she hasn't been online in 5 years so I felt that this one was up for grabs, with my own twist!

The Swap

Buy a journal or nice, journal style notebook (A5 or 5x7 or larger - NO pocket sized notebooks please). Each question should be written out at the top of the page. Answer the question in some detail. In other words, for most of these questions, it is not a one word or one sentence answer. Think in terms of at least a paragraph. Granted, some questions may be hard to flesh out in a paragaph (e.g., what is the current time?). That's fine - but the majority of these should be more than a word or sentence.

Once you have answered your questions, package the journal up and include a profile-based gift for your partner. The gift should be valued at a minimum of $5 USD (or your country's equivalent exchange).

Because this is a very time and money intensive public swap, the following rules apply:

  • No newbies (must have completed and been rated for a minimum of 30 Type 3 swaps).

  • No one with any 1s in the last 3 years, or 1s owed to active members that are older than 3 years.

  • No 3s in the last 3 years.

  • No late swaps on your dash.

  • Must have been logged in to Swap-Bot within 24-hours of partners being assigned. Too often, people join swaps then disappear from the site. For this reason, in addition to checking the usual ratings and dashboard, I'll also be looking at your last log in.

  • Minimum rating of 4.98 to join.

  • I will not be messaging to ask questions when I do the final check before assigning partners. If you have acquired a 1 or 3 rating between joining the swap and the day I assign partners; if you have not logged in within the last day; or if you have a late swap on your dash the day partners will be assigned, please be aware that you will be dropped from the swap.

In a Nutshell:

  • 1 A5 or 5x7 (or larger) journal to 1 partner, with all 100 questions answered in paragraph form (exceptions are noted in the swap description).

  • The journal must be handwritten.

  • The journal pages are not required to be decorated. That is entirely up to you.

  • Include a profile based gift valued at a minimum of 5 USD or your country's equivalent exchange.

  • Three weeks to sign up, 2 months to send.

The Administrivia

  • Include your username and the swap name in the swap.

  • Send on time. Rate promptly upon receipt. Sending late without communication warrants a 3 rating for this swap. Not rating or having to be chased for a rating will also have you banned from any future swaps I host. Communicate and rate.

  • Rate according to the Swap-Bot Rating Criteria. Failure to rate your partner or to rate correctly will have you banned from any future swap I host.

  • If you are going to be late sending, make sure you let your partner and me know prior to the send-by date.

  • Hearts are purely at the discretion of the rater.

  • If you flake, you will be reported as a Questionable Swapper in the Public Forums.

  • If you are flaked on, let me know. I will angel this swap after you rate a 1.

  • Questions? DM or leave a comment!

thegypsie 03/ 1/2018 #

I remember this swap!!! I participated in it as well, happy to see this one come back. I have just the journal for this!

renmagpie 03/ 2/2018 #

Yay so good to see a veteran of this swap in it!๐Ÿ˜

scrappycats 03/ 2/2018 #

May I do this on the computer, print it out and make a journal out of the pages once it is written?

HannahsMommy07 03/ 3/2018 #

I did too!!!!

Jolene1986 03/ 3/2018 #

What is a profile gift ?

renmagpie 03/ 5/2018 #

@scrappycats .. unfortunately a requirement of this swap is that it be handwritten, so printing it out would not meet the requirements. Sorry. :(

@Jolene1986 ..that's when you review your partners profile and send a gift that is based on their likes/wish list.

missechan87 03/ 6/2018 #

Aww I would have loved to have joined this swap since I love these types of swaps :D ... but I donโ€™t have 30 type 3 swap ratings since I have had a break from swapping :โ€™( is there anyway I can join or something?

renmagpie 03/ 6/2018 #

@missechan87 - I have DM'd you.

USAFwife 03/ 6/2018 #

Hey @bombardiette The journal we use, do you have any limitations on size, type, etc? I read through a few times, but wanted to check in case I missed it. :)

renmagpie 03/ 6/2018 #

@USAFwife - ACK! I can't believe that I left that out. Thank you soooo much for pointing that out to me. YES! 5x7 or larger. I'll edit the swap now to make that clear.

CajunLady 03/ 6/2018 #

do those marble composition books like this count? If not plain, could I decorate it with scrapbook paper or whatever?

renmagpie 03/ 7/2018 #

@CajunLady - Yes, those totally count! And you can decorate it any way you see fit, although it's not a requirement of the swap to decorate. ;)

manachai 03/ 8/2018 #

I know that you just added a limitation on size, but I started working on this swap a couple of days ago (before the minimum size was specified) using a decorated regular sized travel journal insert, and was wondering if that would be ok to continue using as I wouldn't want to waste it.

renmagpie 03/ 8/2018 #

@manachai - If it is an A5 sized TN insert, that's fine. If it's a pocket sized insert or smaller, I'm sorry but that's not "journal" sized which was the original specification.

manachai 03/ 8/2018 #

I double checked and it's a personal size (3.75 x 6.75) , which is between an A5 sized insert and pocket. I carry it around in my TN journal so I can work on it wherever I go. Perhaps it may be too small.

renmagpie 03/ 9/2018 #

@manachai - Yes, that is a bit too small for this swap. I'm so sorry. I can't believe I forgot to include the dimensions beforehand (I'm usually a bit better than that) and that you'd already started working on this. :(

manachai 03/ 9/2018 #

It's ok! I just wanted to clarify it. Maybe next round!

renmagpie 03/10/2018 #

@manachai - If I do a next round, I'd love to see you in it. :)

mgallardo68 03/18/2018 #

@bombardiette only bought journal, or can it be handmade?

renmagpie 03/18/2018 #

@mgallardo68 , as long as the dimensions are correct and the journal holds up to writing and delivery, doesn't matter whether or not it's store bought or handmade.

MiRdLHWY43 03/19/2018 #

I hate even asking....Any chance there could be a US only version of this?

renmagpie 03/19/2018 #

@MiRdLHWY43 - Unfortunately, I didn't have time to be able to do both versions. You might want to message @ChrisAnne as I believe she was also interested in the same - or possibly doing a US version herself.

ElectricHare 03/20/2018 #

Minimum 30 type 3 swaps ๐Ÿ˜”

One day, I will not be a newbie! Anyone one willing to private swap this with me?

renmagpie 03/20/2018 #

I'm sorry @ElectricHare ..I know it's frustrating. The requirement is this stringent because it is a public swap. :(

USAFwife 03/20/2018 #

@bombardiette I just want to clarify. I know you commented that some of the questions can't really be answered in a paragraph, and I agree with that because of the range of questions. So I've been trying to use the questions almost as a journal prompt - to answer the question and then add more info - like #16 - Favorite band/singer, I listed some favorites and gave a little information and background about those choices. That's what you have in mind, right?

MSturgill87 03/21/2018 #

I just realized this was international and at this time I can't afford to do an international journal swap. :-( I don't mind doing Type 2 internationally but a Type 3 at this time isn't possible. If anyone hosts a US version, please do let me know. And if this swap is done in the future internationally, please also let me know as it may be possible then for me to do it. Thank you! And I'm sorry to have to drop from such a wonderful swap.

renmagpie 03/21/2018 #

@USAFwife - The list would have been sufficient for that particular prompt, but yes my dear. You're doing it right. :)

@MSturgill87 - Aw, we're sorry to see you go, but totally understand. Thank you for being open about this and for letting me know! xo

mgallardo68 03/21/2018 #

Thank you @bombardiette
