Description:

Let's see if someone else will be interested in my idea... I certainly hope so! :[

You will buy or hand-make a book / journal - whichever you like best, with at least 70 pages. It can be quite a simple notebook (but remember - enough pages, and it shouldn't fall apart, something you can use well, decorate well, etc. It doesn't need to be a classy super-expensive book). In this journal you will write journal entries - but not about your own life. Think up a character, a vampire. Male or female, it's entirely up to you. As basically is the whole journal's story: You can choose the time / ages it's written in as you can choose the place. It could be a very sinister character, but it could also be absolutely hilarious. Imagine a vampire living nowadays... maybe your vampire would have certain trouble with... say... a (human) friend trying to persuade him / her to come along to some blood-donating? ;[ Let your imagination flow! Imagine this to be a journal of your vampire-character of say 1-2 months. You yourself can of course write it all in one go or work on it - I leave enough time until the send by date. And there doesn't need to be an entry for every day of the 1-2 months, but the journal should cover this amount of time (there should be a couple of days entries though - it won't do if you write about 2 days only. ;)).

Please decorate the diary / journal on the outside. You can decorate some pages as well but it's not a must. If you decorate the pages, try to think of what the character would do with them? Maybe it's quite a creative vampire... or a gruesome? Droplets of blood on the pages?

Please make an effort - this should be something exciting, intriguing to read for your swap-partner. You will have ONE swap partner who will keep the journal.

And if you subscribe to this, please consider the fact that you MAY get a very dark, bloody story back, or maybe one on the erotic side - it's really free to your swap-partner to decide, so please be aware of this.

Other rules:

  • You must have at least 8 mail-swaps in your pocket and a rating of at least 4.5. If you haven't and still want to participate / can explain - contact me. Else I will have to ban you from this swap. If you're about to having fulfilled 8 mail-swaps and it's getting a bit tight date-wise - contact me, too. I can always move the sign-up date a little bit further.

  • Any ideas, suggestions? Feel free to comment.

  • Another idea would be (but this is not a must!) to pack up the diary / journal in a special way before you send it on its way. After all... it would be a vampire sending it away...? :[

Other than that... enjoy! :[

I'm glad it's liked :D - I was wondering if anyone would like to join at all. Excited about this - and I already have my eye on a certain journal I'll use. :[

I'm so glad that you've given us until the end of November to create our journals. Life is so chaotic right now, that I nearly dropped from this, before I saw how long I have to catch up with things. Thanks!

This is such an awesome idea! I love vampires and I love creating fictional journals!! The perfect swap for me! I can't wait to make it! In fact, there's no time like the present! I'm going to start it now!

I am new to this site and find this swap very intriguing this is a very cool idea. I hope you will allow me to join you will not be sorry I promise.

tinnuwen 09/22/2008 #

Hi everyone it's getting closer to the sign up date, so... sign up if you still like to join. :) I set the date especially far to make sure everyone's got enough time. Some may write this over the weekend, others may need more time, alone due to one's everyday life. :) I hope you'll all enjoy this! bedeviled41 - I've left you a message considering swapping / newbie. :)
