Description:

You know who you are but who would you be? A fair maiden cruelly cursed by a wicked witch? Or a witch who just wishes these air headed maidens would stop eating her prize apples? Do you fight dragons or do you eat knights? Are you a wizard looking to transmute toads from mere mortals, or a toad aspiring to a higher state of being?

Whoever, and whatever, you are or would be, join this swap to meet someone who understands. This is a swap to send a letter, written from the POV of someone in a fairy tale/fantasy world. You can be a character from an established fairy tale, or make up a new identity from whole cloth, but make it interesting to get a response back! In your profile make a section labeled FAIRY TALE and describe your "person" so your partners know who to write to.

If you want to, make it a little special. Find (or make) a paper that looks a little ancient to write on. Send an "amulet" to protect your new friend. Draw a map of your own little piece of the kingdom. It's not required but anything worth doing is worth overdoing, right?

If you have questions ask in the comments. I can Angel. 3.0 min. rating, but unrated swappers are welcome.

  • Your have two(2) partners. You will write a letter to each, introuducing yourself to them. You choose "how" your character met theirs.
  • You may respond to letters recieved, in fact I'm sure most people would love to recieve responses.
  • Have fun.

Is this a snail mail or e-mail swap? You have it listed as electronic but say to "write" a letter. This sounds like a great swap idea so I'll probably join either way. :)

I really hope you start an international swap for this :D

Oh man, its snail mail.

Let me go fix that, I have no idea how I missed it.

I'm a newbie and would love to do this swap! I understand I'm unrated but will you be doing more of this in the future? I'd love to get in on this!

Thanks so much!

@Ivymere Yup. I plan to do another swap like this, and maybe some similar in the future. ;)

Also, to anyone who hasn't put up a profile of "who you are" please do! Your partners need to know who they're writing to.

I'm starting phase two of this swap, so if you had fun, join again! And be sure to write back to your new friends!
