Description:
This was inspired by @Hairysprayqueen :) Want to write a story/poem/journal/etc..? Want to add a little twist to it? You've come to the write place! (get it?) UPDATES TO THIS SWAP!! EXTENDED TIME ON SWAP TO WRITE STORIES!! READ COMMENTS BELOW TO UNDERSTAND THIS VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND SWAP. EVEN I'M A LITTLE LOST BY IT. READ ALL OF THIS! So for this you need to wait until you've been assigned your partners. Then send your partners 7 words you want to be included in their creative writing. This can be lots of fun! Maybe you want words like "wizard, dragons, ice cream, bike rides, midnight, sex, ghost, dreaming, laughing.." inspiring words are probably best to gaurantee a great story/poem etc.. Story should be at least 1 side of A4. Maybe you want to decorate the page with drawings and stickers, maybe you want to make the story up as you write it. Please make sure your writing is easy to read. Typed is fine too. Youâ€™ve got to have a 4.9 rating (sorry newbies). Iâ€™ll be banning anyone who doesnâ€™t meet these requirements or seems like a flaker. THIS PART WILL MAKE EVERYTHING CLEAR AS CRYSTAL! Let me try to help. :) Imagine partners are assigned. I click on "Rate your partners and coordinator" and see that AndrewLips is mailing to me. I will PM my 7 words to AndrewLips, and they will be included in the story I get in the mail from her/him. The person I will be mailing my letter TO (found under "See the partners you send to") will PM their 7 words to me. I will write my story with those words and mail it off to that same person. Does that help? Please contact me with any questions, suggestions and so on :-)

what is an A4?

AndrewLips 05/13/2010 #

yes the partner sends their writing back to you. an A4 piece of paper.

user2637 05/13/2010 #

For the Americans, and A4 piece of paper is slightly smaller than letter sized, so letter sized should be fine. :)

I really must be getting old, I'm confused....

Actually Swap-bot is NOT set up for this kind of situation. If we follow User2637's plan as described above is the only way it WILL work as Andrew wants it to work. This needs to be VERY clearly stated in the description of the swap -- 1- you PM the seven words to the person who is supposed to send to you, that person needs to just reply "got it" 2 - person who got the words writes the story and sends it, snail mail, to the person who sent the words which is the person swap-bot has paired as "send to". Does that make sense to everyone? I've just repeated Usere2937's suggestion. If we don't follow those steps it'll be chaos. ANDREWLIPS, please make sure everyone undertsands this.

I didn't understand it. Then I did. Now I'm not sure I do. What the hell, I'm signing up anyway!!!

biterbuck 07/10/2010 #

Or we could just post our words here as a comment. Then whoever's writing your story could just find your words here.

Aria 07/19/2010 #

Hi, I live in the Philippines, and our A4 paper is different from American A4 paper, I think...

AndrewLips 07/22/2010 #
