Description:

I wanted to start a penpal swap, but there's a few flying around at the moment. When I start writing an intro letter to a new penpal, I don't know what they want to know! So, I had this idea for a swap!

You will write out 25 questions that you would like your partner/penpal to answer. You won't write anything about yourself in this first letter, just these questions you'd like to have answered. Examples, can be:

"Do you have children?" "Where did you grow up?" "What's your favourite animal?"

Pop it in an envelope and send by snail-mail. So you will recieve 25 questions from someone, and you will send 25 questions to someone different. Therefore, if you get a reply from both of these people, you have the opportunity for 2 brand new penpals! You can agree to keep writing to each other, or you can just leave it at the 25 questions.

I would recommend that when you recieve your 25 questions, you include another list of 25 questions in with your answers when you reply. This way you can both have a bunch of knowledge about each other.

Please no rude or overly personal questions, keep in clean and friendly. Open to newbies, as long as you have your profile filled out with your likes and dislikes etc. Everyone else must have a rating higher than 4.7 .This swap is international.

Any questions, leave a comment or message me!

edit Please rate your one partner who sent you the 25 questions. After you've done that, I think it would be expected of you to write back, at least once. But you will not be rated on this. If you don't plan on keeping in touch with your penpal for at least a few letters, please remove yourself from the swap/don't sign up.

This is a nice idea. I'd love some penpals but I also have a hard time getting started, knowing what to say! Thanks bundabergsangel.

Those of you who have "jumped the gun" might find that some of your questions are answered in your partner's profiles, so you might want to check that before you put that puppy in the envelope.

crap!!! I never thought of that and I put a lot of creativity into how I decorated and did my 25....now I will have to start over :(

Sorry it took so long to assign partners everyone, they're done now...marquettegirl raised a fantastic point, check your partner's profile first off!

Bummer, the person supposed to send me my questions has been suspended from Swap-Bot... Anyone want to send me some q's? I was looking forward to getting new penpals.
