3. Who most annoyed you last week?

4. Do you have a cutesy romantic nickname for your partner (or previous partners)?

5. What is your favourite Stephen King movie?

We repost the questions exactly as the original posters submitted them and request that all questions be checked for spelling and grammatical errors before they're submitted.

INSTRUCTIONS & REMINDERS )


SENDING DEADLINE: Friday, November 21, 2025


Extensions/Defaulting: Pre-research your post office/courier service hours, and plan to send as early as you can! BUT if your best-laid plans fail, and you need an extension -- we get it! Please bypass the shame spiral and email us ASAP. We want to know what's going on but rarely hesitate to grant brief extensions, especially to historically reliable swappers.

And, of course, if you need to default for any reason, the above is doubly true!! Life happens, but if you let us know as soon as it does, we can help out your recipient AND probably have you back next year with minimal anxiety.


One More Time: don't forget to check in at Swaps Central! And a safe, merry Swapstide to all!

Current FAQ and very old resources post here, for anyone who needs them. Questions and comments here or via email, as always.

Hello, everyone! Long time no post! Well, for me, at least ๐Ÿ˜…

It may still be a little while before I've got all my ducks in a row to make a proper tutorial again, but in the mean time, I finally remembered I already wrote and posted another one-ish on Tumblr ๐Ÿ˜… I'm planning to properly organize and re-post it over here at some point, but in the mean time, if you want to know more about uploading and posting images to Dreamwidth, you can check the following links:

  • Short tutorial without images
  • Short tutorial with images (I don't think I have to say this, but please don't be rude to OP in this one!)
  • Bonus: Tutorial by dreamwidth-help on Tumblr for uploading images via email

  • Speaking of tutorials not by me! Someone in the notes of one of my Tumblr posts mentioned having resources on the Dreamwidth Roleplay scene, and graciously shared them with me.

  • A Guide to DWRP for Tumblr Users (Google doc)
  • [community profile] rp_help
  • [personal profile] dwrpmasterlist

  • A dislcaimer from my source: "idk if the google doc is up to date but rp_help is from earlier this year and dwrpmasterlist crowdsources updates monthly."

    So it sounds like the communities are definitely solid resources, and a look over the Google doc probably won't hurt, either. Best of luck, future DW RPers!
