Vegan penpals!
So, I've noticed how all our profiles have a little section about what we're here for - friendship, penpals and so on. Back in the day, dear vegans, I used to be quite the correspondant. The other day I was considering reviving my old hobby of letter-writing, and what better place to start than here?
I personally love getting mail, usually all that drops through my door are bank statements or letters from my university. Here's the plan. You guys fill in the form below if you want to correspond with someone, and hopefully we can engineer some penpal matches. I figure if you're a subscriber you can contact people directly via message; if not you can arrange swapping email addresses and then, if it takes your fancy, postal addresses.

I'm keen as well. No sure about the ink well pens but the fancy envelopes and smelly stickers sound good to me. ;)

Great! I will have to find a way to get mail into the rain forest. I will probably have to travel for days to get your envelopes, so it will make it all that more special!

This is a bit off from the topic--kind of-but our beloved Lucid Anne was my first vegweb penpal. She was so sweet and sent me the loveliest letters--I still have a beautiful pair of earnings she made for me--I will always treasure them.
Miss you LA

Best PenPal ever!!!
She made me this box with a rock with a face on it inside, and when you open it there's a long note attached to the rock that says:
Slowly but surely the smile of the giver will fade from the happy rock into the heart of the receiver
I'll definitely hold on to it always

She made me a box almost exactly the same that I'll treasure.
You guys are breaking my heart, i just dropped my plate of food reading this. I wish i had got to know her better, she seems like such a sweet person. :flower:
