Description:

I am re-vamping a swap @lettergirl did back in 2010 (thank you again for letting me host this and use part of your description!). I know that I really enjoyed it and continued writing with my partner for quite a while.

What we do is, instead of writing an old style pen pal letter with our introduction, we write questions. And only questions. NO need to introduce yourself, just write down a list of questions. You can type or write by hand. I won't dictate a number of questions but don't make it too less not too many ;) I think last time I had about 30-50 questions, I do not remember anymore. :) Make it reasonable and fun, no novel. :)

"The person who gets your questions answers them and sends them back to you, along with a list of questions of their own. You answer them and send them back with another questions. And so on.

Now I can't regulate how long you'll all want to do this, or if it'll even be as interesting as I hope, but still, isn't it nice to not have to think of anything of your own to have to tell about at first? Please rate your partner when you receive the list of questions.

The questions will be something non-threatening like: 1. Do you have any children?

  1. How do you feel about chocolate with fruit?

  2. If you could buy a plane ticket to any place you have never been before, where would it be?

  3. Do you enjoy won-ton soup? Etc.

I would not mind political/religious questions either, but maybe check your partner's profile and use common sense on what they might not like to be asked ;)"

Open for anyone with a rating of 4.9 and better. Newbies with a well filled out profile are welcome to join, but please message me before joining. :) Same goes for swappers with recent one's and three's, send me a quick message and tell me what happened. Don't join if you intend to flake or do not like to answer questions. I reserve the right to ban anyone I find fishy.

I do not mind any kind of questions. I am an open book so feel free to ask anything you like in your questions!

BassClarinetNerd 01/ 1/2012 #

I think asking questions like this is a great way to get to know somebody! I'd be willing to keep asking questions back and forth for all of 2012 is my future pen pals/partners are up to the challenge.

I love this idea! I am open to any kind of questions. I am open to learning about another person.

kayler00 01/ 1/2012 #

Just joined =) I am open to any kind of questions and would love to also write back & forth. Be it questions or letters. <3

You have to answer them on the same sheet, so when you write your list of questions, you should be leaving space for answers?

I'm with @ElizabethObviously ~I do not mind any kind of questions. I am an open book so feel free to ask anything you like in your questions!

That's true @megbomb I also would not mind them on a separate sheet. As long as as you send the questions with your answers :)

ElizabethObviously 01/ 3/2012 #

I plan to answer my questions on a separate sheet. I would rewrite the question above it and then answer because some answers could get kinda lengthy and you would run out of room provided!

How long will we continue this swap?

50DaysOfSummer 01/ 3/2012 #

As long as you want to keep it going. You can rate your partner after you have received their list. What you do afterwards is up to you, you can not be rated for it, but it's half the fun to see how long it goes on :)

Megbomb 01/ 4/2012 #

Im in =D I am not opposed to any type of questions!

50DaysOfSummer 01/ 4/2012 #

I am also open for any kind of questions :)

This is a fab idea -- creativity is not just about artwork, coloured pens and stamps, although I like those too! This is a great departure! Thanks for thinking of it!

kymm9901 01/ 6/2012 #

Sounds like fun. I'm an open book, ask me anything!!!

flugella 01/ 6/2012 #

Ask me anything too!!

SoupLike 01/ 6/2012 #

Love the idea! Can't wait for this swap to begin! :)

kayler00 01/ 7/2012 #

So, the questions that we send to our partners - we answer ourselves? I am excited!

50DaysOfSummer 01/ 7/2012 #

no need to answer them, unless you want to. :)
