The Vampire Book (round nr.4)

You can still join, also if you haven’t done the previous round(s).

(This is the last round for 2013, we will continue with round nr. 5 in 2014)

You will sent a notebook (it must fit in an envelop of maximum 23 x 35 x 3 cm or smaller, the weight should be maximum 100g or lower, so we can keep postage low) to one partner.

In this book you will write or make something creative in any kind of medium.

Here are some ideas:

-your own story or take one over

-drawing, painting, …

-what you like about vampires, your favorite movies, …

-make a collage, with stickers or cut outs from magazines, …

-make a family-tree

-invent something against/for vampires

-who is your favorite vampire

-…

Be creative and use your imagination but the theme has to be VAMPIRES!! You can make it beautiful or even scary, but don’t use real blood!

Use at least one page for your creation but you can use more depending of what you write/make.

After you created something you will sent it forward in a next round or sent it forward in another swap or to a penpal, but you have to let the book travel!

The last person who receives the book will sent it back to the owner/you, so don’t forget to write your address in the book. I also wrote in mine that the person who sent it back will receive a surprise, but that’s not an obligation to write in the book.

Also write your name and/or nickname, your country and the date next to your creation.

I also wrote in mine an explanation about what the idea of the book is, so if someone would pass it forward to a penpal or so, the receiver will know what to do with it.

When sending the book to your partner you will also sent a small -senders choice (it can be vampire related but not an obligation)- surprise (stickers, postcard, ...) so that your partner also has something to keep. Because the book will be forwarded!

You can also use loose paper/pages and make your own book. If the weight of your (store bought) notebook is too high you can take some pages out of it (like I did with mine) if someone sends you a book with a too high weight please contact them first before taking pages out, and off course only pages that are still unwritten!!

Let me know if there are anymore questions & enjoy this round!

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU RECEIVED A FULL BOOK IN THE LAST ROUND?: You’ll have to sent this book back to the owner, so you can’t forward it again in a next round. But off course you can join this round with a new book you bought/created.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DECIDE TO STOP JOINING THE NEXT ROUNDS, BUT YOU STILL HAVE A BOOK FROM SOMEONE?: You can sent it back to the owner, even if it isn’t full yet. Or you can sent it to me or contact me to find out how to contact the owner. Or sent it to a penpall or someone of who you are sure they will forward it. Or ask on the forum if someone would like to receive and forward it. Ideas enough but don’t just keep it at home. Thank you! :)

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE NEXT ROUND IS ALREADY UP BUT YOU HAVEN’T RECEIVED THE BOOK FROM THE PREVIOUS ROUND YET: you can wait with joining until you have received the book, it’s also ok to skip a round, but if you haven’t received your book because your partner flaked it is ok to join with a new book
