YT Addict | Pen Pals? Has there ever been a pen pal type thing here on YT... where we could all partner up with a YT member for a certain time... say a year, 3 months, 6 months, etc whatever and have our Yorkie's "write eachother" kind of like blogging but actually having someone to tell everything to. It'd be like the gift exchange, but no gifts just letters, and maybe even a picture or two. Is that lame, or is that something that would be cool to have set up? If your pen pal fails to respond to your letters, or to send any then you can simply come back to the thread and find someone who's looking for a penpal and hook up with them! And you don't just have to have one, you could have a couple. I think it'd be a good way for members to get to know eachother since we are literally from all around the world! Especially those of us who have been around for a long time, and those of us who are newer but already love it but don't really know many people here! Just an idea... might be cheesy, maybe not? haha ?

| It is a good idea but someone that plans on being around awhile needs to institute it because things like this have been started in the past then the person who initiates it leaves and it just peters out then people are disapointed

| Everyone is always welcome to hook up with new friends here. There are certain people I know more about and converse with via PM on a regular or semi- regular basis. I found these people by hanging around, getting involved, reading a lot, responding where I felt was appropriate and just finding people I could relate to.

YT Addict | @ Chachi, yeah that's what I was thinking. I wonder if they could make it a Topic like the GE... which I'm so excited about participating in next time, once admin gets back from being... where ever they are they're going to help me set up a donation! I'd be more than willing to set this up though if enough people could get involved, I plan on being around forever haha. I'm already addicted. I'm supposed to be editing pictures, and all day I've been on here!! @Armani, yeah I have already met a few new people, loving it! i just thought it'd be cool to get physical letters and a picture of a pen pal, something more personal... the internet has made snail mail almost obsolete, and I remember having a soldier pen pal in Iraq that I loved writing back and forth with in highschool. PMing is an awesome tool, but there's something about a handwritten letter that someone took the time to write you ya know? Maybe I'm just oldskool, although I'm only 20 so idk how oldskool I can really be.

| I'd be up for e-mail pen pals. I know it sounds lame but as much as I love getting mail, I just clued in how expensive postage is, and it keeps going up, plus I'm in Canada, so it'd get more expensive for out of country. But anyone who wants a e-pal, feel free to PM me with your e-mail.

YT Addict | oh I'm in Canada too... to mail a letter to the states was 1.75 last time. And to mail a letter from the states was .75 I think. That or vise versa. E-pals would be good too for those not wanting to spend on postage. I could put everyone's name in a hat and draw two names at a time and pair those people up, unless every one would just want to pick their own as long as everyone finds someone! and pay your bills? suuuure hahaha... if i was loaded!

| I'm good with e-pals too it might be a better way to get started and definitely cheaper for those of you in Canada.

| My daughter is your age and she and her cousin have been writing letters to each other for years.....both just wanted something more personal and different from email and texting...of course, they do that all the time, too. i think it is great that you are almost 21 and want to write letters. It's a terrific idea.
