Description:

This is the same as the Find a Penpal Swap I hosted previously. :) And so... copied from its description:

Penpals can touch our hearts, be lasting life-long friends, or just give us a good reason to check our mailbox. Whether you've been penpalling for years, or never had a penpal before - this is the swap for you!

The point of this swap is to meet new penpals! So you will have 5 partners that you will send an introduction letter to. If enough people join in the swap, you might end up sending to 5 people, and receiving 5 completely different letters back! That's 10 possible new penpals! You don't have to reply to every single letter you receive, especially since there's no way for me to sign you up with partners who might have common interests with you. But this is a free way to find new penpals, instead of using those costly penpal services.

In this swap, you will write a penpal introduction letter... tell about your interests, hobbies, your family, pets, where you live, what your life has been like up to this point, etc. If you've never written an introduction letter before, don't be stressed! You don't have to cram everything into that letter - just enough so they have an idea of who you are.

The letters should be 2 pages at a minimum. They can be handwritten or typed, and can be as long as you want! You don't have to include anything, but you can if you want to. It's not required. All that is required is a letter.

This is an international swap - let's try to find friends from all over the world!!

Newbies are allowed, but please fill out your profile and send me a message explaining your swapping history and giving me a reference or two. If you don't do this before the end of sign-ups, I will have to ban you. Ratings of 4.6 or higher, PLEASE. I will chek out the ratings of everyone, and I have the right to ban you if you have a lot of unexplained no-sends.

I hope you will sign up and make many new friends in this swap! ^_^

Great idea, I'm always lookin for new pals!

This is a great idea, I don't currently have any penpals but would love some with similar interests as me, but if they don't thats fine too. Martina

Awesome! I'd love to have a penpal!

Oh, this sounds fun, but the next month I'm too busy, to promise that I can find the time to write 5 letters. Will you do another one, international, later on?

CandyStar 08/20/2007 #

Of course! They're always inernational... but I like doing the penpal swaps, so I'll probably have another one coming up. :)

CandyStar 08/20/2007 #

And Martina - the cool thing about this is that you are not obligated to reply... so you get 5, and you send 5... and if you don't hit it off with any of the 5 you receive, you might have sent some to people who have the same interests as you...

I made 3 really good penpals the last round, and reecived lots of beautiful letters. :D

I love this idea! I use to have so many penpals when I was younger but I lost contact with all of them after we got older. I have often thought about signing up on one of those sites for penpals but I never have. This is very exciting! Way to go Jesse! <3
