An ATC swap with a twist ^.^

When you were a child, did your parents tell you that the Boogeyman/ the weird neighbour that appears to be a witch/ a kappa/ Baba Yaga/ etc.etc. will get you if you're not nice enough? Now that you're an adult, you know that legends and popular beliefs aren't a real threat, but sometimes, when the room is dark and you hear something rustling or see a weird shadow in a corner, those silly childhood fears still give you a slight chill...

For this swap you will make one ATC with the spooky creature from a legend/ fairytale/ ghost story you still picture in the most vivid colours AND write a note to your partner that contains information on the creature itself (e.g. is big and black, has 3 teeth and 20 tongues, eats children for breakfast), on the stories that circulate about that creature (once the big bad witch decided to have a party....) and people who tell them (school kids during summer camp nights, your grandmother who could as well have been a witch herself).

I appreciate vivid imagination, but this swap is about regional culture so the stories you tell should be the ones you have really heard in your childhood.


So yeah, ONE partner, ONE ATC and ONE explanatory note.

Please put effort into your ATC and the note. We're not here to judge how much of an artist you are, but we all want to receive mail that shows that the sender has put some heart into it!

I will angel if necessary, but I hope it won't be, because I will check every participant and drop people if I have to.
