MetaTalk

Since the beginning of 2020, I've been doing a project where I write a handwritten letter a week to friends, acquaintances, and family members on a topic of their choosing and have sent out over 150 letters since starting. I last posted for correspondence about 18 months ago here in MetaTalk, asking for participants -- and you folks delivered! From your participation, I've started some lovely longer-term correspondences, and have sent out one-time thoughts on everything from video games to the history of my area to books to new interests. My list has dwindled and I could use some new participants! [more inside]

About 18 months ago, I posted here in MetaTalk, asking for participants -- and you folks delivered!

As above - I enjoy writing and receiving handwritten letters and looking for one or more Mefites to exchange handwritten letters with. [more inside]

Some time ago someone here in metatalk said they would send letters to people who wanted them. I can't remember their name. I signed up and to my excitement I just received my letter today but it got soaked in transit and I can't read it, even enough to see the name or return address. It's quite beautiful in its soaked state, by the way. If it's you, please send me a private message so I can send you a (hopefully more legible) reply.

Remember pen pals? Wouldn't it be fun/awesome to have one again? [more inside]
