Description:
Letters of fiction was a letter writing project I started in 2010, I thought I would bring it to swap bot and see if there is any interest. If you have a theme or idea you would like to write about, please let me know. The Inspiration: The inspiration for this project is truly rather simple a love of role-playing and a love of letter writing. A wonderful member of the FPN started a post with the idea of writing letters of fiction. The how: Storylines can be as simple or complicated as you want, and involve as many people as you like or just be one on one. The sky is the limit the idea is simply to write to enjoy the letters and keep the art of letter writing alive. For the swap bot purposes just follow the themes listed and go from there. Letters of fiction can truly be a fun and fantastic outlet, I have one partnership that has been writing letters together now for well over a year in our fictional characters, we also have now along the time inserted letters of our own along with the characters. Write on!

It's not clear to me quite what you mean. My take is that the letter writer writes as a fictional character creating a back story and perhaps a present situation. Or do you mean one could write as, say Cinderella, bemoaning her nasty dysfunctional family and asking the receiver of the letter for advice ...? or some other story situation that is known to all -- and then what happens? Does the partner reply or simply rate the letter and then the swap ends?

Any guidelines as to length?

@JuneMoon you can create your own character or use someone already as it. I have myself always created a character and wrote to the person as if they were already my pen pal, or in one situation i wrote as a Victorian sending a message in a bottle. The partner can reply only once, or you can contiune the pen friendship in fiction it is completely up to you as a pair.

@Halogen I try not to give length requirements every letter and writer will be different. I would hope thought gets put into the letter no matter how long.

This sounds so fun...but I'm so intimidated!! Ha! :) Would you happen to have an example of a letter that you could email me so I can get an idea of what is expected? What a very awesome idea!
