This swap is a bit of a creative writing practice! For the swap you will need a printed vintage photo! It does not have to be a family photo or anything, in fact a random old photo from the thrift store is probably better!
Let's refrain from photos on letter printer paper though, just so that everyone is getting a similar quality photo. It should be on some sort of photo paper. if you have old slides feel feel to do a new print of an old negative, many services are available for nice quality photo printing. Even CVS and Google.
Part two is to write a story about the photo! This is why a mystery photo might be better! It shouldn't be a memory, it should be completely made up! Your story can be from any perspective( 1st, 2nd, 3rd), it just has to be at least one page long! If you really get in the flow though, feel free to go longer! You will have one partner, but because you don't need to wait until partners are assigned to start I'm going to keep the working window to a week! This will be an international swap! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns! Newbies are allowed so long as you have a filled out profile!
