Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:May 31, 2008
Date items must be sent by:July 31, 2008
Number of swap partners:3
Description:

In this swap you will write 100 jam-packed story sentences for your partners to possibly use as inspiration or jumping-off point.

Each sentence must be a minimum of fifteen words long. Each sentence should be independent of the others, so you will have 100 different ideas. They can be on any topic. If you like, you may list what sorts of stories you write and your partner may choose to tailor what they write to that, but it is not required for the sender to do so. You may send the same sentences to each of your three partners.

Newbies & international welcome. This is a letter swap, not via email.

Very Cool Swap Idea!! The best part of this swap bot experience fopr me so far is the inspiration piece. Seems like after all this work though a broader network of sharing might be in order. ... you might consider uping the number os swap partners. just an idea...

This sounds fun but I'm not sure I could come up with 100 sentences.

Mosaic, I will certainly up the number of swappers if no one disagrees. That could make this swap really fun...

I just joined. I thought of a lot of sentences that are fewer than 15 words, however. That makes for a crowded sentence and possible too many adjectives or adverbs:

"Major Robert Palmer felt a chill of trepidation the frog approached". (11 words)

Glancing cuttingly at her rival, Tiffany brandished a bowl of raisin bran and swung" (14 words)

BETTER: Tiffany used raisin bran as a weapon of choice. (9 words) Tiffany's rivals could always expect that trademark cereal attack (9 words)

Raisin bran was Tiffany's machete (5 words)

What I meant to say is "jam-packed" does not leave a whole lot for the reader to take and run with. Or maybe you could have 15 words but allow people to use 1, 2, or even three sentences.
