Description:

As previously hosted by @ginger4520 I'm hosting this swap as the idea is super-fun and it seems people really liked the last one :)) any comments or concern, please comment in the comment section, I'll check it regularly! Slightly altered, here are the specs!


It's been months since the world ended and the zombies have taken over. There is still hope for a cure and survivors are sparse across the world trying to find safety in numbers or on their own. You are one of those survivors. Maybe you have hope for a cure and a better tomorrow or maybe you just want your memory to live on. Each night you survive this hell, you take down a memory to preserve it, just in case there is no tomorrow. Just in case you don't make it, that it might find it's way into the hands of someone who can use it to survive.

This is a simple month long journal swap. You will keep a journal for one month, or 30 days (doesn't have to be consecutive). You can take a plain notebook or make one yourself but decorate it accordingly, also make it at least the size of a postcard (10x15c, or 4x6in).

On the first page tell us who you are

Name:

Location:

Days Since The Zombie Invasion Started:

Date:

Each page after that you will date in order for one month and write 2 or three sentences (can be as long as you want, no limit on there!) on how that days survival went. Did you lose someone? Did you eat that day? Did you see any zombies, kill any? Heck it can even be a flash back memory to something before the invasion.

This is a creative writing project. Use your imagination and let your thoughts flow. You can also do this swap in a few days if chose to. You can sit down and do your 30 entries in one day or do them over the course of the month. You will have 5 weeks after partners are assigned but you can also start writing as soon as you want as this is not profile specific.

At the end of 30 days, you will end your book however you see fit and send it to your partner.

This is open internationally so please be aware for postage.

Do not join if you have the slightest doubt that you won't be able to commit to this. No recents or unexplained 1s or 3s (within the past 6 months). I reserve the right to remove anyone I find questionable or that does not have a well filled out profile. Newbies, sorry but not this time. Also, everyone should have at least 10 2s or 3s combined, I'll be checking profiles before assigning partners.

I hope I won't have to angel as we are all adults here but if it happens so that someone flakes, I will angel with an email of my own journal, NOT a complete, hands on journal. If you flake, I will report you to groups and ban you from any future swaps. Also, I mentally slap you as this is a fun for all-site, not fun for one :((

I love this swap :)

I think this is going to be awesome. I am starting mine early as my man and I are going on a road trip, and I think it will be interesting to incorporate that into my story, hehe.

Thanks for the AWESOME journal prompt! This is my first journal swap, and I am loving it!

Can it be set into the future or does it need to be the current date. I am starting early and want to make sure I date it correctly.

paraxparaxnoia 05/11/2014 #

@cancerianmoon626 I hope you'll get all sorts of great ideas :D and thanks for joining, I loved doing this swap earlier so I want to try again, and see what others can come up with!

paraxparaxnoia 05/11/2014 #

@rubiannee1979 date is yours to decide; past, present, future, what ever feels right for you! Heck, you can do a steampunk theme or underwater zombies, I'd love to read about something like that myself :D

I would LOVE to do this swap, but not sure I can afford the international charges. Anyone in Australia that I can swap with?

littlebluestar 05/12/2014 #

it says it doesn't have to be consecutive but then it says a month of dated entries so just to be sure my journal can take place over the course of a few months but with 30 dated entries? (Fingers crossed!). its a month for me but not necessarily my journal storyline, correct?

littlebluestar 05/12/2014 #

BTW freaking LOVE this swap idea, getting creative juices that I haven't seen in awhile flowing again. Already having so much fun with it!

paraxparaxnoia 05/14/2014 #

@Keruka I'm sorry to hear that but then again, I totally understand, postage is so high these days >_> I hope you can locate a fellow Aussie to swap this with!

paraxparaxnoia 05/14/2014 #

@littlebluestar the order of days or the length of time in general is up to the writer, just have 30 days in the end (or more if that happens, I don't think anyone minds if they'll receive extra days :D), good that you pointed that out so if others are wondering this, here's the answer :D

Hi there! I actually am a newbie (only 6 swaps under my belt) and cannot join this swap, but I wanted to leave a comment. This idea is AMAZING! I really hope you are going to do more of these in the future, I would love to join in next time!

paraxparaxnoia 05/21/2014 #

@8bitgeek yeeah I plan on doing this again if everything goes ok so I hope I'll see you on the next round :)) and welcome to SB, I hope you enjoy your stay :))

GoodMonkey71 05/21/2014 #

Love this idea! Love, love, love zombies! May have to try this.

kgeslab 05/22/2014 #

Can it be as gross as we want it to be? I can't wait! If the journal is "dirty" and "bloody" from our adventures, that's ok, right? Can't wait to write about camel riding Zombies!

paraxparaxnoia 05/22/2014 #

@GoodMonkey71 do join, we're all nice folks here muahhhahhaaa

paraxparaxnoia 05/22/2014 #

@kgeslab I kinda want to have you as my partner, camel riding zombies sound awesome! But yeah, go all out with this one, at least how I see it, the more gore, the merrier :D

winternite24 05/24/2014 #

I wish I could do this, but I can't this time around. Maybe next time.

paraxparaxnoia 05/25/2014 #

@winternite24 keep an eye out for a (possible) round :))
