Description:
A slam is a booklet similar to a deco or friendship book except that each page will have a question on it, and each signer will answer the question. It gets sent from swapper to swapper until it is full, then it is sent back to the person who it was made for. For this swap you will make 3 new slams to send to your partner. You can make the slams for yourself (so the slam is returned to you when it's full) or you can make the slams for any slam swapping friends you have! The slams can be any style (question, sign if, list etc) Please do your very best and make it a nice slam that people will enjoy to fill in. Slams for this swap must be no larger than 6" x 8". This swap is open to seasoned slam swappers AND to those who have never created or swapped slams before. But please remember that slams are meant to be passed on, so you will need to pass on the slams you receive in this swap. I will be hosting slam swaps every month on Swap-Bot, so if you don't have any other slam swapper friends to pass them on to quickly, please keep joining in my swaps to keep the slams moving around! Swappers must have no recent 1's or 3's and a well filled out profile. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below and I will do my best in answering them promptly! Happy swapping!

What is a deco, homer (usually see that there can't be a homer) and a friendship book??? Thanks in advance for your help!

A deco is a booklet where each signer decorates the page in the theme of the deco (or if it has no theme, you can decorate it in any way you choose).
A homer is a booklet (FB, Slam, Deco etc) where you are the last person to sign it and need to send it home to the person it was made for.
A Friendship Book is a small booklet where everyone just adds their address, and details if they are looking for new pen pals or swappers.
I hope this helps!

I Googled slam books and I don't think I found the right kind. Are these the composition book/spiral notebook kind or more of the pages stapled together kind? Sorry for the dumb questions......

Neeky8 07/ 3/2013 #

This is the pages stapled together kind. It makes it a lot easier and cheaper to mail. Usually the front cover is decorated or made out of a postcard or something sturdy (often if people are decorating it using a magazine cover, they will cover it in plastic contact to make it more sturdy). This cover then gets stapled to about 10 pages. Hope that helps!

So If I wanted to start one I would put my info on the cover, then on each page ask a different question. I would then answer each question, send it on and the next person would answer. Then once it is filled it would be returned to me? What do I do with it when it is returned?

Neeky8 07/12/2013 #

@loar46 - yes, that's exactly how it works! When it's returned to you, you get to enjoy reading all of the different answers that everyone has written. What you do with it is up to you - I keep full slams in a box just as a collection :)
