Correspondence - Find a Pen Pal

[Polyhistor]

Inspired by a thread in another forum:

Would anyone be interested in corresponding with other members per letter? I imagine it could be fun and would as well be period correct for the Golden Era - especially when using a nice fountain pen and stationery...

If anyone´s interested, you could just add a reply to this thread, stating you´re in and whoever wants to get your address sends you a request via PM, so no private information would have to be visible in public.
Maybe it would also be helpful for potential correspondents, if everyone added a short biographical sketch and/or list some of their hobbies/interests.

So here´s mine:

I´m 23 years old, study art history - just finished my first year - and my hobbies include reading (some favourites: HP Lovecraft, Umberto Eco, just too many to list them ), playing guitar and a few other instruments, homerecording and writing, mostly poetry. I do a little drawing now and then and enjoy cooking.

This sounds great, and would give me an excuse to buy some beautiful stationery.

Will anyone send scented letters?

I think that would be at the discretion of the letter sender and its receiver.

Nice to see some people are interested in this!

Unfortunately I can neither receive nor send PM´s or emails, it seems - do you have to have reach a certain number of posts before these features get activated? Or could it be that I just overlooked them?

But I created an email account instead: fl-correspondence@web.de, that should do for now. So if anyone wants to leave their address, I ´d too have an excuse for paying the stationery shop a little visit.

As for scented letters...I do agree with Rosie, I think.

[scotrace]

Yes, 15... run around a few threads and drop a "nice hat!" and you're there.

I am sitting here thinking.....

Bertie Bots every flavoured beans...but in ink...

One would never know what olfactory joy (or disgust) the next letter might bring.

Great idea Poly! and do what Scot said...look in some hat threads and give out a compliment...you're almost there!
