Description:

Hi welcome to my first swap In this swap you will go find your favorite book. find two sentences But they need 2 be from two different parts of book say one from front section and the other the rear of book.You then send to your partner who writes a story using those two sentences.They return to you to be rated. At no stage do you reveal the name of book during swap. You may if you wish after swap is over. The story can be about anything as long as you use these two sentences. Oh it does not need to be from favorite book can be first book you pick up even a cook book just follow the swap & have fun. It has been pointed out to me that i did not allow enough time 2 story writer to do there story by time sentances get tio them. so I think that if we all message or e-mail our sentances that will cut the waiting period there. So it is e-mail or message your sentances and post our stories. Hope that sounds fair to all. Smiles Col

I have signed up for this but I may need 6 months to write it as I have so many favorits books it will take me that long to reread them all to pick one out to use! LOL: -D

Col, do we send our two sentences by post, or by email?

Newfie 05/26/2010 #

Guess it must be by email, since the deadline to send the story is June 11th?

Newfie 05/26/2010 #

I've just sent my sentences by email to my partners, since craftycol said that's the best way to go.

This rating plan does not work -- We never rate the person we send TO, they rate us. So to be rated all we have to do is send the two sentences, whether or not the person writes and sends back a story is something that we CANNOT rate, the way swap-bot is set up.

k this was my first so I failed I'll get felicity to take me off as officer Col

junemoon 05/27/2010 #

It's got nothing to do with being an officer, as far as I can see. This rating problem has come up with other people's swaps. We can only rate the people who send to us in the first place. It's not possible to rate a "turn around" kind of swap for the final product/story/whatever -- it has to do with how the swap-bot program is set up. So I am going to rate you for sending me your sentences. And I will try to write a story but when you receive it, there's nothing you can do except PM me or leave a note on my profile or in this comments list, to say you got it and that it's the most fabulous [or boring] story you ever read.

That's how it has to work for everyone in the swap, and since you can't cancel a swap that's already had partners assigned, that's what everyone is supposed to do. You probably should email others and explain because I don't think people read the comments section all that much.

I check the comments all the time, in order to get clarification of the swap rules. I'm not that "swap savvy" yet. I too overlooked the fact that we don't rate the people we send TO, but rather those who send to US. So, Craftycol, it was an honest mistake. Don't beat yourself up over it. That means we won't get rated for our literary effort after all. Bummer! Still, I'll give it my best shot. Happy writing everyone!

craftycol 05/27/2010 #

As June pointed out is not for our effort we get rated tho have sent the begining does not seem right to me. So maybe June did not read early as she signed up gairly quick was time to point it out to me and I could have maybe changed it or cancelled it. 4 THOSE WHO WISH 2 write stories I can always add a heart later for your efforts. Smiles Col Kathleen hun as we are only rated for sending sentances hun just close y eyes and grab a book and choose two sentances. But when y ready is k with me. Smiles Col

I have e-mailed my two partners the sentences from my book selection. AND I have snail-mailed my AngelFaeryKathleen a short story from the sentences she sent me.

Newfie 06/19/2010 #

Mine is gone by snail mail to Artistic today.
