Description:

So I have recently gotten into doing the alter journals. I'm normally not a dark person, however I love scary movies and I love the dark, gothic, macabre stuff, so why not do a journal as such?

You will create one dark journal to send to your partner. You will alter or decorate both covers, inside and outside. You will have 25 different themes you MUST use in your entries. The way they are put into the journal is your own creation, just as long as they are all there.

Entries:

  • Halloween in general
  • Serial Killer (choose a specific serial killer to talk about)
  • dragons
  • mutilation
  • s & m/ bondage/ dominatrix
  • cementaries
  • death
  • fire
  • torture
  • moon
  • darkness
  • ghosts
  • vampires
  • blood
  • monsters
  • your favorite scary movie
  • skulls
  • guns/knives/weapons of some kind
  • Rocky Horror Picture Show
  • True crime

There are only 20 in this list. You have the opportunity to come up with your own versions for the last 5 entries. Be creative and be dark, that is what this journal is all about.

You can collage, sketch, doodle, paint, draw, scrapbook, or write about these subjects. However, there must be a minimum of 10 of your 25 entries that feature drawings or collages of some sort. This is an alter journal...to me that means it's not all about the writing...it's also about being creative in how you portray the subject.

If you have other ideas about what we can include for the mandatory 20 entries, let me know and I can add them to the list and then you can pick your favorite 20.

This is not a journal entry per day. You can begin this as soon as you sign up for the swap.

The journal must be at least 5 x 7 inches or bigger.

Stipulations:

  • Must have a rating of 4.95

  • Must have a fully filled out profile and logged in within 3 days from the day I assign partners.

  • Must have been rated in 10 Type 3 packages. Sorry Newbies.

  • I reserve the right to ban at my discretion.
