Description:
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Whilst a nice handful of you have been brave enough to contact other people in the group and from the blog to become penpals, sometimes shyness can stop a person from contacting someone else. So here is a swap where Swapbot will randomly generate someone for you to write to. You will be matched up to ONE person whom you will write a HANDWRITTEN introductory letter to. If your partner thinks the two of you will get a long, then there is the option to write back (so please include a return address). If not, then no pressure. You will also recieve a letter of course. Again, if you think the two of you will get along nicely, go on and write back and hopefully the two of you will become penpals. RULES: The letter should be handwritten At least two pages HOW TO RATE: Rate on how nice and informative the letter was. Feel free to give a heart if it was extra special. IF YOU ARE MATCHED WITH SOMEONE WHO YOU HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN TO: please comment below. I will rematch you with someone else who has the same problem. Questions? Please comment below, or PM me.

What size paper? Front and back or just fronts?

Let's say two pieces of a5 sized paper just fronts is required.

Would love to do this but I don't like my hand writting so maybe next one will be where we can type or handwritten.

Could you change it to which every we want to do?

I have moody handwriting. Sometimes is it neat and happy sometimes it is hard to read. I am glad to do a handwritten, cause I need to do it more often. I will watch and join closer to closing date. Thanks for hosting.

@purplebutterfly - I really prefer to keep it handwritten. Only because I know a lot of people 'collect' penpals and write one letter, print it off and send it to all over them. It's a little impersonal and it doesn't matter if your handwriting is bad!

@AZmom875 - My handwriting changes depending on what pen I'm writing with! Hope you join :)

Hi everyone, I've checked out all the participants, and some of you have a lower rating - I have had a good look at the profiles and and am confident that there will be no problems. If your letter is going to be late to your partner, please let them (and me) know. Anyone who flakes will be banned not only from future swaps but from the group too and I don't want to see that happen.

I'm about to partner everyone up, so if you are matched with someone you already write to please comment below.
