Description:

It's been a few years since I last hosted this swap, but it's time to bring it back. Welcome to the ninth installment!

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 must be simple (answerable in one sentence or less)- but can be serious or silly! 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. I will also post the final list in the swap comments.

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. One tip: They don't have to be answered in order, so I've often found grouping by topic to be helpful.

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 4.95 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!

This swap needs at least 6-7 people to be fun - I will cancel if the total number of participants is 5 or fewer.

I think it would be interesting if everyone answered: if you could open a business what type of business would it be?

Fun question, Norsulaulu! Please make sure you read the full swap description, including the requirements section. :)

Do you mean because there are <5 signed up so far? I just thought I'd post my question ahead of time so I don't forget. And I PMed you a couple of days ago, if I remember correctly and you said I could join, right?

I meant the PM, and you're totally right! Your PM moved to page 2 in my messages, and I completely spaced on it -- sorry about that!

It might be interesting to know...."If you could go to college right now, what would you study, even if you already have a college degree?"

“What book would you recommend to your partner, based on their profile?”

(Preferably something you read yourself - recently). 😊

My question: What is your favorite family story? One of those stories that often comes up again and again at family get-togethers.

EEscoto 06/26/2018 #

Got my partner! Thanks!

Letter sent. Postman stamped it (You must go to the Post office here, there are no mail boxes as in other countries) and he was very sloppy 😭

Cheers!
