Dear Character

The letters thread returns. Vent your frustrations on your character

Dear Madison,

Okay can you do me a favour I know you are busy sulking because I've killed you off already but can you do me a favour? Let me in on who killed you. Because I do need a bad guy. Evil dude to be caught.

Thanks
Syikana

Dear Bad Guy
Hi, I need name, why you want to kill people and everything to that extent before the first of November please. Or why you're apparently hiring assassins to kill people. (Don't want to do your dirty work?)

Thanks
Syikana

Dear Owen
Happy I haven't even started Raven's story and your getting your mystery. Ceri's somewhere in the myst although... she may.... no I have that planned for you in Raven's story.

Sorry
Syikana

Dear characters,

I have a vague plot idea.

It would be really helpful if you existed too, preferably sometime *before* November.

No love,
kayl.

Dear Characters,

Shut up, sit down, and do what I tell you.

Dear Leola,
thank you so much for speaking to me and letting me know roughly what your story was. I'm sorry I can't make it all nice and happy, but let's face it, it would not be your story if it was all nice and happy, now would it?

But once again, thank you.

Chelle.

Dear Elena,
It would be very nice if you could give me some idea of exactly how you became what you are. I know the technical aspects of it, and th who, where, why and when, but I still need to know what happened to get everything so twisted. I would be very happy if you could tell me.

Chelle.

Dear Carne,
I know it was a long time ago, a really long time ago, but I'd like it very much if you could be a little more forthcoming about some of the details. Also, it would be fantastic if you could tell me a bit more about Serenity's mum and dad, and how you came about meeting them.

We've got a couple of weeks, but if you could let me know, that would be awesome!

Chelle

Dear Katrina,

I'm still not going to write your fanfiction for you. I don't write in that fandom. Heck, that fandom barely even exists. And no, that's not a good reason to write your story for you. And no, I really don't care if it's more "transcribing" your story as you dictate it to me.

No. Just, no.

Love,

Me.

Lucien,

I'm not impressed. Not in the slightest. I know you're my main character but that does not mean you get to tell me what to do. We've already discussed sparkling vampires and the answer is no. You're also not killing Evangeline because that defeats the point of the entire novel, and despite what you tell me I know you love her far too much to want to hurt her. And just so you know, I've not yet decided whether you live or die... so you might want to behave.

Love,
Your exasperated author.

Dear Hone,

I know you hate me for temporarily killing you off, but you know you're going to be resurrected soon, so stop sulking about that. It'll be epic, promise. Sorry you got beaten up so badly, but it was kinda your own fault for being such a heroine. And Xaoc needed to be seen to be the big evil beast he really is, so you had to go. I do have your entry scene all worked out and spunky, you just have to wait until I get to it.

Love Rogue xx

Dear Cam,
hey, there - thanks for being understanding. and nice. and easy to work with. it's lovely.

love, Hannah.


Dear Julian,
WHAT IS EVEN WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN OH MY GOD YOU ALREADY ARE THE MOST NONSENSICAL AND ANNOYING PERSON TO WRITE /EVER/ AND i still love you to bits, but. WHY ARE YOU SO UGH.

something, hannah.

Dear Clio,
Thank you for being a sarcastic, witty, narcissistic brat. This year will be fun.
Love, Kelly.
PS, I'm being totally and completely serious. I can't wait to meet you :D

Dear Leo,
Thank you for dying before the story starts, so that way I /HAVE/ a story.
Much love, Kelly.

Dear everyone else,
Please exist. As soon as possible if possible.
Thanks. Kelly.

Dear MMC,
Please have a name. This month will be hard if you don't have a name. Thanks.
- Circe

Dear Eradis,
You're cute, but please stop imitating Alistair from Dragon Age. Be your own you!
- Circe

Dear Sairil,
You go, gurlfran~ No, but, seriously. Stick to your guns and don't lose focus on your ultimate goal. I want you to make it.
- Circe

Dear Cole,
Stop being such a wuss. If you complain about missing Eric once more I'll let your flatmates hurt you. November does not need to be an angst-fest on your part.
Cherri

Dear Eric,
For the love of all that is holy, make sure you call Cole more often. I'm sick of hearing him whine and we haven't even started writing yet.
Cherri

Dear Fiona,
Why have you dissapeared in the planning? You can't be around for two books and go walkabouts for the third. Come back.
Cherri

Dear Dina,
You're nice so far, but can you please develop more of a personality? You can't just fangirl over Cole and Eric for the whole novel.
Cherri

Dear Lucy,
You're a great catalyst for stuff, and wonderful for conflict. But next time you try to forge a relationship with your son please have something new to say. You've had the same argument with him three times over two novels, you need a new angle.
Cherri

Dear Bryn,
Why can you speak a language which I can't? I won't use an online translator, so you get to mutter under your breath if your second language and nothing more. That is all.
Cherri

Villain 1, Zadkiel: I hate you. Can you actually DIE this time?
Villain 2, Marcellus: I don't get why they didn't just kill you straight off. Can you... I dunno, explain why, please?
Ciro: I love you, but this ISN'T your book. You've been MC in the first two. Can you please, please let my useless INTENDED MC tell this one?
Ramiro: BE the MC like you were SUPPOSED to. I know you're drunk and insane, but... I need you to do just this one book.
Jasira: SHUT UP. You're getting on everyone's nerves with your moaning and whining. I know you've had a hard time but sheesh... Just stop.
Saskia & Emilio: Um... Whatever. You're doing okay as background characters. Maybe you both need a few more books to grow up enough for true MC status.
Xavi: Newest MC... You're doing fine so far. Just keep being the manic comic relief!

Dear James and Richard,

I love you two. Honestly, I do. However, I would love you more if you were together. Can your romance please be a little more convincing? Thank you.

Dear Michael or whatever your name is,

Hi there! Do you remember me? Probably not. Anyways all your friends have shown up, and I would love to see your lovely face again. You are Ari's love interest, I would hate to replace you. But I will if I have to. I think Damien has a crush on her.
So come back, tell me your name, and do something.

Thank you.
Your Author, Victoria Leigh

Dear Brynn,

Will you just tell me who the heck you ARE? I mean, I know your name, I know what you look like. I know you're not big on chocolate, but you're a peanut butter nut. I know you like baking, even though you're really bad at it, and you own a pokcat. (A pocket sized cat. Don't ask.) You love to run, and hate to drive, and you're going to fall in love with Clare because even though he's a wiseass jerk, he's a fantastic person. And knowing all this, I should know YOU. But I don't. You had a life pre-virus. Tell me about it, alright? Tell me who you ARE. PLEASE!

Your desperate author,
RRB

Dear Colm,
Hi. It would be nice if you could actually give me a clue what's going on inside your head. I already promised you I wouldn't make you narrate!
-Cassy

Dear Layla,
Don't be annoying! For the love of God, you're the VICTIM. I want people to feel sympathetic when they read about you, because right now, you're more pathetic than anything.
-Cassy

Dear Cherry,
I love you. I think you might be my favorite character for this story. But don't be such a smart-ass all the time, please? I know that's how you naturally are, but try being genuine once or twice. And don't talk back to me, young lady.
-Cassy

Dear Meg,
If you're trying to be whinny and annoying, mission accomplished. I know part of that is how you're supposed to be, but be a BIT more likable? You and Layla have the same problem...
-Cassy

Dear Stanley,
For God's sake, you're the villain. The murderer. The bad-guy. So act like it! I need you to be as cold and as heartless as possible. Thanks.
-Cassy

Dear Addison,
Look, I understand that you're a mixed up, confused little lady. However, I did not expect you to bring yourself to this point. I was just planning on having you and Nick break up peacefully after and argument. However, you seem to thing it would be better if he abused you and tried to rape you... Okay. If that's what you really want... Be careful what you wish for hun.
And ANOTHER thing. Why is it that though I had you planned as cripplingly shy, you seem to want to be a social butterfly? Could you PLEASE just do what I want? Just this once?

Dear Nick,
I understand I made you out to be a jerk from the beginning. I get that you might hate me for planning your breakup with Addie from the beginning. But you are taking things too far now. I'll let you get away with it, but expect Tony to hunt you down and hurt you. Severely.

Dear Tony,
You are doing GREAT! Keep it up with the whole "luckless romantic who can't get the girl" vibe, and the chicks will be all over you in NO time!

Dear Selena, Gwen, Jude, and Joel,
Any reason that you four don't want last names, even though everyone else has one? Kthxbai.

Dear Eve,

Please don' turn out to be someone I don't even like. And be nice to Kate, too.

Dear Kate,
Try not to be too arrogant towards the world and remember where you came from. Eve needs you,

Dear Mayes

I know you're the king, but I'd like you to have a personality. You only appear in three scenes, but being all "yes, good job my daughter" and then disappearing doesn't work.

Dear Ray

Stop being impossible to write. I'm having to only have you in lucid dreams where you can't talk right, and it's really annoying considering you're a main character

Dear Clauyde

Stop being a pervert. You're supposed to be a noble knight.

Dear Eyrie

Keep being awesome, but make sure that everyone else gets some spotlight. You're starting to take the whole story over and all you do is sit on a throne and make speeches.

Dear Lindsey, Michael and co.

Look! Your second novel has a title!!! And yes, there is an Irish dictionary/grammar book on its way to my house. Funnily enough, it is coming from the same area of Dublin as you live in. Maybe you know the bookshop? Anyway, that is a very neat coincidence. I am working frantically on finishing "The Boy Next Door" and am nearly there now so don't panic. All will be ready to start on November 1st. I even know who the other members of your band are.

Keep being co-operative and at least try to stick to the plot outline this time. That would be much appreciated.

The Author.
