Penpal Friends - USA

To me, penpalling is a path to building solid friendships. Penpal friendships grow at different rates, some slowly over years, some with speed in a matter of weeks, all with varying lengths of letters. I've found that the people I really get close to either write long detail-filled letters OR simply write frequently (letters sometimes brief, sometimes long, often in between).

For this swap, we're going to try the "frequently" aspect.

I would like for everyone who joins this swap to be sincerely interested in building penpal friendships with others who are wanting to exchange letters at least twice per month long-term. View this swap as a sincere trial to see if you're potentially compatible. If so, write back. If not, no obligations.

SWAP GUIDELINES:

1. You will have one partner. (That means that you have 2 possible penpal opportunities, the one you write and the person writing to you.)

2. You will be sending four letters total: two mailed between July 29 & August 3 and two mailed between August 5 & August 10. When all are mailed, you will click sent. (Edited to clarify: all four letters will go to your one assigned partner.)

3. Letters must be handwritten and at least 2 pages (ie. one paper front & back or the front sides of two pieces of paper; A5 / standard size or larger). They can include basic bios, stories of your days, elaborations of your interests, what you're looking for in a penpal, anything that will give your partner a true glimpse of who you are.

SIGN-UP REQUIREMENTS:

4.9 rating with at least 10 completed type 2 or 3 swaps; no recent 1s or unexplained 3s; any iffy swappers will be removed. Thank you. :)
