Description:

Sooo, I've seen a lot of themed journals before, so I thought I'd give it a whirl with my own twist. I love Supernatural. Now you don't have to be a fan of the show to get where I'm going to go with this. But in the show, John and various other hunters of the supernatural all write down thoughts, patterns, stories and research concerning ghosts, demons, and urban legends.

For this swap, you'll take a journal around 8 x 5 inches, can be bigger but NOT smaller, and write in it, then send it to one partner. These entries however MUST be horror/paranormally filled.They can be themed or random, written by hunter, paranormal investigator (ie: Ghostfacers) or just a random collection. It's really YOUR choice how to fill out entries. Any era, time, way or means. You could do anything, like research vampires for a month, collect ghost stories, write a hunter's basic guide to hunting (which begs the question of how it got into your partner's hands?), or a collection of weird things you've noticed in your area. But they must have something to do with the supernatural.

There are a few guidelines however. You must:

  • Decorate it! - this can mean anything! Newspaper articles (real or fake!), printings from the internet or copies from books, maps, drawings, photographs, etc. Use your imagination, too!

  • Give it a personal touch. Maybe there's coffee or blood stains - no real blood please! (and if the latter, how'd they get there?), an old rosary used as a book mark, doodles, etc. Maybe include some random things from the 'author. Do write most of the entries in your own handwriting.

  • Be creative - no one want's a plain journal. Even if it's contents are terrifying, give it some life (pun not intended!).

  • Must have a total of 25 entries AT the least (unless asked, I'm not going to force a word count or anything). Most (a good 90 percent!) of these entries need to be pretty decently filled. But more is always best! Since I'm giving a lot of time to work on this, that gives you some leeway to make it and send it. I really expect good things. Please don't sign up unless you have the time to do this!

The journal can be handmade or store bought, and is sender's choice. However, I will be kind and let you list three things you DO NOT want in your journal below. Please listen to your partner.

While this is NOT profile based, PLEASE. Send something you would like, in fact. Let's all try to go for heart worthy, even if some of you do not like hearts!

Ratings: This is not a profile based swap. Rate accordingly within the rules set by the Swapbot Admin. If you received, it was on time, and it met the requirements, then it should be a five. Like or dislike shouldn’t enter here. However! Items should not be dirty/nasty OR go against postal regulations or against the law.

Eligibility: No 1’s within a six month period. No recent 3’s (within 3 months) WITHOUT a good explanation PMed to me please. Must AT LEAST have a 4.7 rating with a good swapping history. Newbies with at least one type three swap, NO 1’s or 3’s, can join. Must be commited.

My three:

  • No romace please. I want real horror here.

  • Although I would love something Supernatural inspired, I'm not a big fan of John.

  • Anything else is really good with me, so I'm going to go with just two things.

Any interest in this being international?

witchfire 11/28/2010 #

Well there is now laughs Which is awesome, cause I was thinking this would be maybe a five person swap. Please. More the merrier!

Sam 11/28/2010 #

Annesdatter 11/28/2010 #

Really looking forward to this, my only no no is:

  • No romancy, teenagy Edward Cullen vampires or the like (sorry to offend Twillight fans, but sparkly vampires are just not for me)
witchfire 11/28/2010 #

Welcome aboard! And yeah, I didn't think anyone would want to join anyways....silly me.

:)

I'm not fussy about what I receive. This will be fun to do.

SpookShowBaby 12/ 2/2010 #

I'm not fussy either!

Amigirl 12/ 5/2010 #

What a very fun idea for a swap@! Good imagination..when I learn journals, I'll definitely join one of your cool swaps!

emilyjane 12/ 7/2010 #

You just made my swap-bot experience...I LOVE Supernatural!

My only nooooo! is: Anything pro-Twilight-related. I can't take it seriously enough. Sorry,fanss!

My Hell yessss! Is the mythology about Angels. That's my favourite topic but I love just about anything!

Can we use mythology and photographs from the programme as well?

witchfire 12/ 8/2010 #

Sure! Just don't make it a copy of John's journal or anything - and by copy I mean you got the book and wrote it down word for word. This is a journal swap after all, not a plagerism swap - which I say NOT because I think anyone here would be that....what's a good word for that....but because that actually did happen to me once. I got a journal that had been a copy of another swapper's (she had shown me the pictures of it). If it did happen, FYI I have read most of the fan suppliments. ; )

But if you wanted to use fan resources (screen caps from the show, season companions, Guide to Monsters, John' Journal etc) that would be fine.

witchfire 12/ 8/2010 #

Oh, and I wanted to add - it's cool if you wanted to use the POV of any of the characters on the show (Bobby, Sam, Dean, John, Gordon for example). But do it with you're own take on John

ladycregga 12/ 8/2010 #

I REALLY like anything to do with Supernatural the show. But please NO twilight stuff Yuck :-(

Jacquisking 12/17/2010 #

Hi, im watching atm as i have some 1s from a PC swap that went walk about but all been resent so hopefully will be gone by end the week.

witchfire 12/28/2010 #

Wow, ok. Lot of drop outs. Should I just postpone this swap?

Uneteadlane 12/28/2010 #

I love doodles alot, so please add them to your notes or stories. I love Supernatural and would love to read about new monsters Dean and Sam are trying to fight. And as a few of you have already mentioned - Twilight is a no. merci! :)

Butterflysdemise 12/30/2010 #

Don't have time to do one now, but this is probably one of the most creative and awesome swaps I've ever read about. Good for you guys!

SimpleSeamstress 01/ 5/2011 #

I agree... no Twilight please. I'm so excited about this swap. Huge fan of Supernatural, but other themes would be cool, too.

maybejustperhaps 02/ 9/2011 #

OMG...this is the coolest swap there will ever be. I'm so bummed that I missed it. I hope there is a second one.
