Description:

There's nothing that makes my day quite like a long handwritten letter from a pen pal! :)

Everyone has a different definition of a "long letter pen pal," but for the purposes of this swap you will send an introductory letter to your partner that is at least three front-and-back size A4 pages (the paper doesn't have to be size A4, but if it's smaller use more sheets). A4 paper is 8.3" by 11.7" (210 mm by 297 mm) - roughly the size of a regular sheet of notebook paper. It also must be handwritten.

To take part in this swap, you need to have at least a 4.7 rating (if you have been rated unfairly, please message me if you want to take part in this swap). Sorry, no newbies, but you have plenty of time to get rated in three through-the-mail swaps (email swaps don't count). Make sure your profile is filled out so your partner can get to know you a little before writing (and maybe send something extra in the mail).

This is international!

As your host, I promise to:

*reply to any private messages the day I log in and discover I have a new one;

*ban anyone who seems suspicious or doesn't meet the requirements of the swap before I assign partners;

*mediate any disputes between swappers if the need arises; and

*angel this swap, or find an angel for you, if anyone is flaked by their partner.

What size is A4??? I'm not familiar with that term, so if you could give me an approximate size in inches, i'd appreciate it.

DIN A4 is 21.0 cm × 29.7 cm, so about 8.3 in × 11.7 in. :) Roughly the same as US letter format.

Yes, PurpleSheep is right. :) It's about the size of a regular sheet of notebook paper. I'll edit the swap description to include the measurements. :)
