Description:

First off, this is the second installment of a swap series based on an idea that @Mrswhiffin had for a tag game - thanks for letting me run with your idea and create this series!

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.

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.

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 4.9 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!

I'm joining again! Loved the first swap :D

My question: What do you like about your mother?

loveslife 05/ 3/2010 #

What's your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?

suepier 05/ 3/2010 #

I would love to try this. I would like to know : What is your favorite type of swap?

samash 05/ 3/2010 #

When you go to the mall/shopping centre, which store do you have to go to every time you go even if you don't buy anything?

samash 05/ 3/2010 #

@suepier I tried this last time and it was so much fun weaving the questions in so hopefully you'll have fun this time :D.

You won free plane tickets, where do they take you to? :)

Syn1226 05/ 3/2010 #

If you were someone's pet, what would you be, and why?

Syn1226 05/ 3/2010 #

I can't stand my handwriting, so I hope whoever gets my letter doesn't mind it being typed. Easier to clean up any "mistakes" and it's neater/easier to read. Ü

savannahjan 05/ 3/2010 #

If your 12 year-old self could see you today, would they be proud/excited, or disappointed/sad?

user2637 05/ 3/2010 #

Should this letter be factual? Or can it be fiction (or a mix)?

kallie1978 05/ 3/2010 #

What celebrity do you/did you have a crush on and why?

Bucket 05/ 3/2010 #

This should be a factual letter - like a penpal letter!

Also, for those of you with an "and why" on your question, I just want to let you know in advance that those two words will be dropped in the final list of questions - especially since there are already 12 in the swap. Open-ended questions get difficult, especially when there are 20-30 of them in the end to try to weave in!
