Long letters true lovers ♥ INTERNATIONAL

Here's the first swap I'm hosting.

My favourite swaps are related with letter writing, but I always feel a bit disappointed with them and I don't join as regularly as I wished because I'm almost sure I'll get a short letter, I guess every person as an idea about what is short and long letter, but well let me try and maybe the long letters writers out there, with the same concept I have, using swap-bot will find me and join :) I write long letters with passion for ages, what about you? yeah! Make this a great opportunity to find to find someone who also loves long letters, and possibly make a long lasting friendship.

A first letter is always a first impression and perhaps the best opportunity to babble a lot.

..........................................

• Tell your partner who you are, where you come from, how is the place/city/country where you live. Talk about your family, pets, house, believes, hobbies, dreams, goals, studies, penpalling experience and everything else you can remember, as an introduction.

• If you normally write long letters because it is a great pleasure to you, then you will not worry about the amount of pages I will set. Write at least FOUR A4 SHEETS (means EIGHT PAGES), you can write longer if you want, that would be awesome, I'm just setting a minimum. If you will use smaller paper, like A5, then don't forget to double the number of sheets/pages

• You can use stationery or not, make it the way you feel better and you can also include a little something, like a postcard, a tea bag, a pin or maybe a photo. Just do it the way you like it, the way it makes you feel good. Make it PERSONAL.

• Only HANDWRITTEN letters and make the effort to use real stamps in your envelope to make it more personal. Be creative!

• Make an effort to read your partner's profile, and show you read it, as we normally do when we find a new penpal and know a little about him/her.

...........................................

• People WRITING LESS THAN THE STIPULATED (minimum) WILL BE RATED WITH 3 (you don't need to fill the last page until the last line, but I guess you know what I mean). Please don't join if you just want to get something good in your mailbox, but you can't write a long letter.

• PLEASE RATE 5 when you've got a handwritten letter that meets the length requirements. Everybody has his own definition of 'boring' and 'awesome', if you feel you don't click, it's not exactly your partner's fault. You don't have to answer the letter you received, but I hope that you will want to :)

I will be checking profiles. If you have 1s or 3s, please PM me to explain. Everyone must be in good standing on swap-bot to join. Newbies are welcome with filled-out profiles. Please nobody with a rating below 4.9, thanks.

I welcome people from all the countries, since I'm Portuguese, would be great if this could be an international swap.I'm open to answer your question if you have any. Ask! Help me to make this a super successful swap!

Love, Joana
