Weekly Journal Prompt: Around the Dinner Table

@midwestkiwi This is a lovely idea, but the time between assigning partners and send date is too short for me. I'm a 25 minute walk from the post office, which is open weekday mornings only (one of the glories of living in rural France!).
For example, if you assign on a Sunday afternoon, I don't find out about it until Monday morning (time difference between USA and western Europe), then I have a 3 hour window of opportunity to get the thing posted on Tuesday morning in order to meet the deadline. International swappers further east than me are going to find out their partner even later.

Perhaps you could consider making this a fortnightly (i.e. every two weeks) swap to give more time for getting pages in the mail?

I do feel pretty strongly about keeping this a weekly swap, but maybe the signup deadline doesn’t need to be so long. Would it help if moved signup to Tuesday, and assigned by Thursday?

I'm good with whatever, really. I like the weekly aspect - it makes it a little easier to build up a nice journal quickly ... but I'd also love to see more people participate. I wonder if you did 2 prompts basically at once - one with a week deadline and the next with a 2 week deadline? It would still accomplish your goal of one prompt for each week.

That way maybe you'd be able to get more participation on every other one, essentially .. and maybe it would bleed over to the one-week one, you know?
