Description:

Looking for a Gothic pen pal? Me, too!

This is a swap for those looking for another little bat to exchange letters and happy mail with. In this swap, you'll be sending a letter, a mail tag, and a few dark goodies to your swap buddy. All goth types, levels of gothiness, and number of brainwashed fledglings accepted. Everyone from pastels, trads, not-a-goths, and cybers alike are welcome. Maybe you're just goth-curious? If you're not okay swapping mail with a goth that doesn't enjoy the same music or style as you then this isn't the swap for you. We welcome all.

In the letter, introduce yourself! You can find some wonderful references for what to include in a first letter online. This site offers some great information on what to include in your letter and in your mail tag if you'd like to check it out: http://uncustomary.org/50-things-to-tell-your-penpal/

As for dark goodies, use your imagination! Include a few things (at least 3). These items can be store bought or handmade, so you need to be okay with either option. Handmade items should be made well (ie, no sticker slapping) with thought and care. This isn't an expensive swap, so the items you choose should be flat and easily shipped.

Some ideas include: *Stickers *Handmade bottle labels for potion bottles *Project Life Cards *Note Cards *Recipes *Bookmarks *Ephemera *ATCs

I can angel, but I'd rather not have to. If you're not okay exchanging mail with someone older/younger than yourself then this might not be the swap for you. There are wonderful pen pal matching sites out there with settings like age.

You need a rating of 4.5 to enter with no recent 1's or 3's. I'll take individual cases into account, so please message me if you are being excluded but feel as if you can join. I'd rather this didn't be your first swap, but, again, message me. For now, this will be regional to save on shipping costs, but if I get a lot of need for it, I will be happy to make an international one as well for those so inclined.

Please feel free to message my any questions you might have or leave them below.

Happy Swapping, Darklings!

Too bad this swap isn't international. :(

@Nachtauge If there are a few more people who are interested, I'll be happy to make another swap that is! <3

Just for the sake of being transparent, @lockerelf knows about the previous accounts, knows about the ones and about me deleting the other accounts. I reached out before I joined, told lockerelf everything and asked to join. Lockerelf graciously allowed it.

I have also sent an email to ADMIN to see if it is possible to merge my deleted profiles with this one.
