Description: | |
๐Do you ever receive a letter and wonder "Did she even read my letter?" This is aimed to AVOID those. This swap is for those who: ๐Keep their pal in mind/profile in mind when writing and truly RESPOND to profiles/letters ๐Like a 2 way conversation with a pal; asking questions RELATED TO THAT SPECIFIC PERSON ๐Tend to write longer letters and send ON TIME. And, 40+ years of age NOT for those who: ๐send the same letters/parts to more than one pal ๐ Write like it's a journal/diary entry or a play-by-play of their day ๐Can't tell who their letter is to by the content ๐doesn't ask any questions specifically FOR that partner/pal This is for potential pals who are willing to put in the effort to get to know their partners and see if they're a match for ongoing pen paling..which can lead to wonderful friendships! It's not about just getting something in the mail. It's QUALITY over QUANTITY. ๐Rating based on whether it was obvious that your partner actually read your profile (obvious as in they conversed about multiple topics in your profile; if they did that and sent on time, it's a 5.) No requirements on length (just a real letter, not a couple paragraphs), or artistic abilities (decorate if you like, but not required), and no stationery or tuck-ins required (include if you like but make sure it's FOR THEM based on their profile). The requirement is to read the profile and focus on the person you're writing to in your letter and comment on their profile, ask questions about them specifically, etc. Hopefully you will gain a pal or two, but keep trying if you don't get a long term match; it can take several swaps. I usually have a monthly swap like this for those of us that are about QUALITY over quantity!! (And I have "met" some AWESOME friends here--sometimes they join these!) ๐คทโโ๏ธYou can be new or seasoned, but you MUST have a well filled-out and easy to read profile about YOU to join this swap. (Saying what THINGS you like for other swaps or want lists is not sufficient for this swap.) People are removed from these every month because they don't meet this criteria. |
