Illustrated Letter #3 - A Fractured Fairy Tale

This ain't your Mama's letter swap!!

Ok....we have told 100 whopping lies about ourselves, and have been granted wishes by a genie.....for Round 3 -- make up a Fractured Fairy Tale to send to your partner!

What is a fractured fairy tale? It's one that doesn't follow the norm.....Cinderella dances with Prince Charming but turns out he's gay so she runs off with the stable boy. Or the 3 little pigs build their houses only to discover the big bad wolf is vegetarian. Whatever story pops up in your imagination write it in a letter to your partner, including illustrations.

You do NOT have to be a great artist!!!! Lord knows I'm not! Just have FUN and let the creativity flow!!

This is a light hearted swap. Have fun with it! The main part is: BE CREATIVE!!! Letters can be handwritten or typed. Don't just send out a plain story.....Your letter must be illustrated in some way. Decorate and personalize your tale's pages with drawings, doodles, stickers, funny photos, quotes....whatever will add... ummph to your Fairy Tale! Not all illustrations have to be hand-drawn, but at least draw ONE of them yourself!! Then fill in with photos or whatever else you can find to bring your fairy tale to life.

This is a swap that involves creating and sending out personal artwork that takes a lot of time. Swappers will be exchanging something that they invested their time and artistic spirit to create. PLEASE do NOT join this swap if you do not intend to send your letter!! It's one thing to flake out on a pen pal swap.....it's a much bigger deal to flake out on something that involves someone's personal ARTWORK. GRRRR!! (Run, flakers, Run!) Flakers will be listed on the Flakers forum and will be subjected to extreme bad Karma. Life does happen sometimes....we all understand that. If you have to send late, let your partner and me know that you will be mailing late and then send out your letter!!! Don't just disappear and not send! Joining a swap, receiving your item and then not sending is STEALING!!!!

Because this exchange involves artwork, no unrated newbies. If you're a newbie and this exchange sounds fun to you ..... there will be other similar exchanges posted each month. Get some ratings on your profile, and join us when you are eligible. Pay your dues...then join the cool folks. ha ha :o) Minimum rating to join this exchange is 4.95. All participants must have no unexplained 1 ratings, no 1s in the past year, and no 3 ratings in the past 30 days. I will check profiles before assigning partners, and I reserve the right to ban anyone that seems suspicious. Those who don't fulfill the requirements will be removed from the swap before partners are assigned.

DO NOT FLAKE!!!! Flakers make me MAD!! If you flake, not only will your swap partner give you a 1 rating, but as swap coordinator, I will make sure that lots of people know you flaked. I have a zero tolerance for no-sends, especially in a swap that involves personal artwork, and only a small amount of postage.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me, or post a comment on the swap.
