Hello! I love this project :)

How do/did you decide who to pair up with who?

Do you just randomly throw people together or is there some aspect that makes you match 2 people?

Thanks anon!

For this first month I’ve paired people completely at random (except where a country request has been made). I think that’s the best way to do this but it’s also the most practical

I toyed at one point with making a personality quiz or something and matching people like that. I think in the end it’s probably best to just let people find each other naturally

However, if anyone has any suggestions for ways to improve the group, I’m all ears

Club info

First date to be appointed a partner:

May 1st

Deadline to apply for May:

April 28th

Timeline for sending letters

You should be assigned your partner on the first of the month. You should try and send your letter as early as possible in the month, though there is no set deadline for you to do so. A late letter is better than no letter!

Your URL

Your url/username will never be shared alongside your name and address. If you want to share this with your partner it’s up to you to do so.

Can I use a pseudonym/nickname:

We strongly advise that you use at least your first name. International post can be unreliable at the best of times, it’s best to do everything you can to ensure your letter gets delivered.

You are of course welcome to use a nickname. Some countries, like the UK, don’t require a letter to have any named recipient. However it’s best to give as much information where possible

(If you are living with other people we especially strongly advise that you use your own name, as otherwise an unintended recipient may open your letter)

International letters

You may be sending a letter internationally, depending on your country this could be different to sending a letter normally

Do I have to participate every month

No!

If you do know you're not going to be able to participate for a certain length of time we would appreciate if you could reach out as early as possible to let us know.

How do I send a letter?

If you haven’t sent a letter before or you’re just feeling unconfident, reach out and we’ll do our best to help

What should I write in my letter?

that’s entirely up to you

Would you like to join a queer letter writing club?

I've had enough interest that I'd like to start this.

If you would join please dm this blog or @callisteios (my main blog) to let me know. I will require a name and an address for your partner to send your letter to

How it will work:

you will sign up with your details, once a month you will be matched with another person. Both of you will be expected to send a letter in that month to each other.

Once that's done that's all the club requires, if you want to continue your conversation you're free to, if not then don't. Next month you'll be given a new partner to send a letter to, and repeat.

Content:

Whatever the hell you want, transcribe your hinge profile, write a poem, talk about your job, draw a picture, send a pressed flower, describe your first experience being queer. go wild

Why?

Because it's nice to receive a letter in the post. because it's exciting to connect with new queer people. to connect with people you might otherwise never meet. because it's fun!
