Description:
I hope I am not stepping on any toes with this swap! I searched for similar swaps and didn't find any. The Rules When the swap sign-up date comes around, I will email all participants a picture to serve as 'inspiration'. Everyone will get the same picture. I will randomly choose the picture at the very last minute, so I will not get any advantage. You will write a story of approximately 1000-3000 words inspired by this picture (eg. it may be what's happening in the picture or what may have happened before or after the pic etc). You will send your story to two partners. I think this will be a fun way of seeing how other people interpreted the picture. The Requirements This is simple -- no flaking !!!! I will not set a minimum rating etc, but I will check profiles, if you seem dodgy- you're out! Angelling will not be too difficult, but I do not expect to have to do it at all. Any questions, concerns etc, write them here or PM me

I would definitely join if there was a bit longer to send too. I'm watching for now. School just started for me and I'm not sure how much of my time that will be taking up. :)

I'll throw an extra week on, shall I?

And a bit

I think three weeks should be sufficient -- it is for me. But if you make it longer I have no objections.

Sweet, thanks for the extension; I'm totally in now. :)
