Here's a swap for book lovers and fiction writers :)

Type a 8.5x11 page (minimum) with the words from a novel of your choice. Find a section or scene with a female character and replace the name with your partner's name. You can start anywhere in the chapter. Include dialogue tags, too.

So, let's say I choose something from "The Thorn Birds" and my partner's name is Sarah. The characters are Meagan and Luke. I would start typing:

The dance at the Holy Cross hall in Gilly was the thirteenth dance Luke had taken Sarah to in as many weeks... Tonight it was cold as Sarah stood by a fence looking across a moonless landscape, and under her feet she could feel the crunch of frost.

  • It doesn't have to be from a novel. It can also be a screenplay. Your partner may choose to include you in the movie Titanic or A Perfect Storm or Sense and Sensibility.
  • If you are a female swapper, you can replace your name, too, if the scene involves two female characters.
  • Add a flat gift for your partner.

I probably haven't thought through enough details. So ask any questions in the comments and I'll edit the swap description.

I think this will be fun! I'm looking forward to seeing my name in print :) How about you?
