Description:

I have been thinking about this kind of swap for a long time. From time to time I join pen pal swaps and get excellent rates and good feedback for them but nobody ever writes me back. May be my English is bad (it is), or I am boring person (doubt it), or anything else (most likely). But I want to get at least one letter from my long-term pen pal. And if I don't have long-term pen pals, let me pretend! :)

For this swap you need to write a letter to one partner. But! You don't need to introduce yourself in common sense. You must write your letter in a way that you already know your partner for a long time. Read her/his profile carefully, try to catch some topics and pretend you already discussed them previously and now you need to continue this discussion. You can use information about their current life situation, events, likes and dislikes, beliefs, etc.


Basic requirements for this swap:

  • You must have well-filled profile. I will consider each profile individually.
  • At least two A5 pages (or both sides of one A5 page).
  • Handwritten unless you have serious health issue preventing you from writing it by hand.
  • No newbies. At least 5 type 2 or 3 rated swaps. If you have any problems (unresolved 1's and lots of fair 3's), then you are not welcome. If you handle some situation with your rating, pm me before joining.
  • Please try to not offend your partner's beliefs.
  • This swap requires creativity, thus your partner will need to improvise. If you are sensitive and easily offended by somebody mistakenly doing assumption about your life, please don't join.
  • Rate fairly. 5 for received swap whether you like the letter or not. 3 for swap not meeting the swap requirements (usual introductory letter, too short letter, swap sent late). 1 for never received swap. Please contact your partner before rating them 3 or 1. In case of doubt contact me also.

I can't click on "sent"- what is going on? Does anyone else have the same problem?

Never mind! It worked now. Maybe it was because I tried to click "sent" using my phone?
