Description:

I'm looking for pen pals, and I'd rather start off with some similar interests, since it's difficult to explain my lifestyle to people who have little to no familiarity with (and even misconceptions of or prejudices against) subcultures. If you feel the same way, please join this swap! All subcultures are welcome - fandoms, pagans, apocalypse preppers, Goth/Industrial/Punk, furries, body mod enthusiasts, etc. Let your freak flag fly! You will write or type an introductory letter at least two 8.5 x 11 pages long, front and back (or four pages just one side), telling your partner about yourself. Include one flat item that you feel represents your subculture, sender's choice, may be storebought or handmade. I will review profiles and ban members that I feel do not fit my requirements. USA only this time, no unrated newbies, no unresolved 1s or 3s with active members, and no judgment! I will angel if necessary. Do your thang.

I'm not sure what you mean by that - please elaborate a little?

Like indian, egyptian, the common miss conception the stereo type of a specific back round or culture?

Oh, I see - no, this is more about subverting the mainstream culture. :)

Awww I love this. So great!!! It's such a great idea as I love snail mail and I am a heavily tattooed alternative lifestyle kind of girl and a lot of the people I write are not and end up never writing back lol.

Ok thanks

could we use standard stationary paper? Which is half the size of the paper you mentioned? And use 4 pages front and back??

As long as the letter is the same length and you're not skimping on your partner, that should be fine.
