Description:
Write your postcard as if you are surviving the zombie apocalypse! Postcards are sender's choice, handmade or store-bought is fine. Postcard does not have to be a zombie themed one - but the message must reflect your own attempt to survive in a zombie ridden land. Although not required, feel free to get creative with it, and rough up the postcard as if it had to travel though a wasteland before arriving in your partner's hands. Smudged ink, fake blood, water spots, dirt, give it it's own character, it's own story if you want to. This is my first swap - and I hope people think this will be fun. I will be doing a series of this type if this is successful. Since I was a newbie recently, I'm opening this to newbs and will be angeling for whoever needs it. No restrictions on size of the postcard, but remember USPS rules. Minimum: 3-1/2 inches high by 5 inches long Maximum: 6 inches long by 4-1/4 inches high

is there anyway that i can make a postcard, put in an envie ALONG with a letter... i find postcards dont have alot of room,

Hello, lumniescentlove - as long as the letter is relatively short - the point is to convey a story in a short way :D I might do a penpal horror series letter eventually but for now we start with postcards.

This is the coolest! I already have my thinking cap on! If we make our own postcards is there a limit in the size? I am thinking maybe 4x6?

As long as it works with the USPS I'm good. From their website -

Minimum: 3-1/2 inches high by 5 inches long Maximum: 6 inches long by 4-1/4 inches high

Remember additional postage for bigger cards too!

Can you write the postcard as if we're currently trying to survive the zombie apocalypse?

or does it have to more how present day us would survive if it were to happen.

The point is to write as if you ARE surviving the apocalypse. Inspire fear in me!
