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 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 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!

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.

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 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.

Dear Nathaniel, Would you please leave Emlyn alone for five minutes and tell me how to write you as the evil guy?! I mean I know it will work if I write you just like you are in my head but as Sallí proved in Summer that ain't gonna happen. Eli Dear Emlyn, Stop leading Nathaniel on! You're as bad as him; you're supposed to be a super cool spy-master but at the moment you're a bit.... weak. I mean I love you an everything but we need that spy-master quality coming through a little bit more... at least to start off with. Cheers. Eli Dear Pellinore, If your name suddenly and mysteriously changes to Thingol/Thranduil at any point during NaNo I'm blaming you for being so darn similar to them. Just so's you know. Eli Dear Neirin, Just... try not to change the plot or mess things up too much, alright? Eli Dear Saldín and Silome (from Camp), I still haven't forgiven you for Summer, either of you. When I come to rewrite your story, fall in love for goodness' sake! Eli

Dear Josh, You've gotten your awesome car, you get to crash your awesome car and yes, you're going to have sex somewhere in the bulk of things. Now please get a job so that I have some relevant backstory to hint at. You're going to be the major driving force of the narrative, so I need you to be, well, driven. Get a job and I can give you a gun. Dear Linda, I know you're the author insert character and YOU know that means I am personally attracted to you, but even if you decide you're going to be a lesbian, Josh is still going to have sex with you. The fanbase (I have a fanbase?) would probably prefer it if you were asexual, but your whole character is based on the Anxiety Freeze, and so your sexuality is going to be a bit muddled. If rarely referenced. You still get to kill monsters with drums. Dear Zain and Annika, You two are ADORABLE, and I'm very, very sorry.

Dear Lucy, What's wrong with the middle of the plot? Is it because of Oliver? Is he not very important as I was thinking? I can easily make him a minor character, you know. And I need more of your voice on Albert K? And don't worry about Phillipe, trust me he's not important until the end of the book... i think... but don't worry about him I'll deal with it. Focus on finding your mother and warding off Jordan. By the way, are we writing this in first person or third? I have no idea still. P.S. don't worry about all the blue police boxes, that's just something to amuse myself while I run out of ideas. P.P.S. who is your government teacher? mind if I call him Arwin Moon? Dear Albert, You are supposed to be the kind of villain yet I only have a vague idea of you. Talk to me please. Dear Jordan, Dang you are awesome! Keep up the good work! And no, you still can't make out with Lucy. Dear Phillipe, Um, are you going to send letters from the beginning of the novel and be like a background shark until the end of the book? I'm confused... Dear Nicolette, Who the heck ARE you? Because I'm not sure I'm cool with basing you off of Juliet's nurse.

Dear Mira, No. It is far too early to want another child. Your current son doesn't even come in until the sequel, which, I might remind you, only exists because of him. Got that? No plot for it so far. So no, you can't have another child. Not yet. Not until I have some slightly more concrete plan for the original story, and any plan at all for the sequel. -Elli Dear Laura, You're doing fine. Thank you for being the only one to cooperate so far. If you could speak up sometimes, though, that'd be great. -Elli Dear Laura's sister, Okay, I know I named you.

I will need this information before you show up, you realize. -Elli

Yay, I love this thread. I will be abusing this thread in the next month and a half, just to warn you. Dear Grace, The more I find out about your personality, the more I realise you really don't deserve Charlie. I don't entirely know why he likes you. I love you to pieces, you're one of my babies. But really... you're not very nice. And I'm only just realising this, but it makes total sense. I dunno, you do have some redeeming features. And Charlie just loves you so freaking much (although I may or may not have considered pairing him with your brother instead of you) but I feel like you don't feel the same about him. I dunno. You just don't get as many opportunities to show it as he does because he's not a freaking idiot. But I love you anyway. Love Faye xxx Dear G, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY TOMORROW WOOOOOOOO In real life you'd be 22. Wow, that's old. ;-P I think I should get cake or something like I did for Ricky's birthday. It would be unfair not to do the same thing for all of my character's birthdays. Yup. And then it's Garrett's birthday in November. I should just stock up on cake. I think I'll make Maria's birthday in December. And then... Tallulah's birthday can be in January. I'll have cake every month. Woohoo. Love, Faye xxx Dear Charlie, I'm in two minds about the chinos. They're absolutely perfect for you. But maybe a little bit in the future. They weren't in fashion in 2009. And I don't think Grace would like you as much if you were wearing chinos. I think we'll stick with the skinny jeans. No glittery ones this time though. I don't even know if they exist. But you're not having any. Enough about your choice of trousers. Erm... I need to do some more character development on you I think. But it should be fun. Yaaaaaay. Love Faye xxx

You could have kept quiet, than my not quite impulse impulse to join in on NaNo this November would have faded away and never been heard from again. Why!!!!!!!!! What did I ever do to you?

So no, you will not be NaNoWriMo darlings. Regardless I need to have a word with you all. Alizabeth, stop spelling your name weird and Francisco, you're Franny from now on and forever so deal with it. Also, please make sense. Why do you demand time travel? Do you know how bad I am at time travel logic? It is like math and science and scary things but without the textbook to teach me how to do it. That is bad. I will get an F. -Your Author Dear Amadeus, Whittington, Mizushimas, Strangelight, Machadev, and whoever else wants to join in: You are my NaNo cast! Yay! Now all you have to do is tell me what exactly is going on in your story and also who your designated narrator will be. (The rest of you are all too insane and unreliable to properly relate the story.) Then we can be friends!

You're going to die in the second book, so if I were you I'd stop avoiding her and make the most of it. I'd tell you NOT to go to negotiations with Matt, but you probably won't listen to me. Oh, and please don't mope around the tunnels for weeks because you gave yourself an injury that put you out of the running for a few weeks. It was your choice to punch that cop, not mine. I mean, it was noble and brave and stupid and wonderful, but you do have to deal with the consequences. Don't worry about permanent damage. Scars, yes, but you'll be absolutely fine. Oh, and one more thing-WHAT were you thinking, taking the firing pin out of Miry's gun?! IDIOT.

Dear Piper, How was your vacation? I hope it was enjoyable and that you are well rested for November. You were so angry when we parted ways last year. I know I screwed up your story majorly and you haven't completely forgving me for everything. Thank you for taking everything I threw at you gracefully. Any other person would had crumbled. But you girl, you handled yours. And for that you deserve an award. This is what this book is suppose to do. It is suppose to let you have a little taste of happiness. Cause face it girl, you've had it pretty rough for the last two years. I swear i was planning on doing just that, but then I started writing down a few plot points today. Don't look at me that way. I know what happens when I over plan. It was just a couple of points It won't ever happen again. Anyway, I know all you wanted was a happy ending, but it's not looking to good for you at the momemt. I'll completely understand if you never talked to me again after this is all over. I'm just warning you in advance. Thanks for understanding, your biggest fan

Dear Ash, I really, truly do not understand you. I was under the impression that you were a bit of a psychopath; why are you trying to convince me otherwise? Is it so I’ll have less trouble writing you during November? Believe me, I have no trouble writing psychopaths. Do not think you’re going to feed me false information and expect me to conform. Dear Ivan, You’re a good person; I know you are. You’re nice and humble and a pleasure to be around; Ash is lucky to have you. But what I need to know is why she’s got you in the first place. No matter what I do, I can’t figure it out. I barely even know what your life is like. Would you please speak up? I’m not promising to go easy on you, but depending on your answer, you may or may not have two girls silently fighting over you throughout your novel. The ball is in your court now. Dear Gisela, Where the hell did you come from? Dear Mizuki & co., I know I told you I’d write you all more often, and I know I haven’t exactly fulfilled your expectations. And I’m sorry to say that I’m going to be ignoring you throughout November unless I have some serious free time and a seriously high word count. December will be your month, darlings. Cheers.

Dear Archer, Okay, I understood why you demanded for me to find difference between British English and American English, but I'm not understanding why you want to have random Latin phrases. Also, I realize that you died when you were 16 and still look that age, but it's been two years! Please, you should have mentally matured so stop acting like a brat all the time. You're killing me... - Ashy Dear Koichi, I love you. Please continued to be easy to handle. Though, it would be nice to know a bit more about you. This whole being a normal kid with a normal life just isn't cutting it for me. Besides that, I'm very happy with the way you're behaving. Try getting the rest of the cast to behave as well. - Ashy Dear Hadrian, I know that your past is supposed to be a mystery, but I think it's best you let me in on what happened. What caused your death? Also, I know that Archer is British and Koichi is Japanese... but what about you? You would have to at least been living in Japan with your family for reasons you and I both know about. Anyway, please give me some more details about yourself to help me with the type of character you are. - Ashy Dear Arler, How did you come to be? I have written down that you were extracted from Archer, but both Archer and Hadrian say you've come to be for a different reason. Are you a demon or a fallen angel? Also, how can you know a way to split yourself from Archer's body but not be able to do it? I need to know more about you and your role within this novel. - Ashy Dear the devil, Umm... you need a name. I don't want to refer to you as "the devil" the whole time, and I already told you that your not going to be called Lucifer. Well... maybe you will. I'm not entirely sure. Thank you for finally telling me why you want Archer in Hell with you. You really creep me out. Please go burn in Hell. Wait... what? - Ashy

Dear Sven, Hello, darling. Don't stop being awesome. Sorry about the inferiority complex that's going to come back and bite you. I didn't know that the way Maeve, Henrik, and occasionally Rita treat you was going to screw you up so bad. You did a glorious job of hiding it, though, and I think this will make a much better climax than the one I had planned. Kisses, Robo --- Dear "Will" What the frigging frig is your name? Everyone has a name. Nanette has a name I don't even know anything else about her! You're a main character, dangit! I should at least have a decent name for you. You're on my list, boy, Robo --- Dear Rita, I considered pairing you up with Dante, but I have heard your protests and I promise to keep it to one-sided flirting unless you change you mind later on. I kinda hope you don't, though, because I think you're pretty dang cool as single. Also, I won't have to write a romantic subplot this way. Always a plus. With love, Robo --- Dear Maeve and Gil I don't know much about you, especially Gil, but thank you so much for being in a normal, healthy relationship from the start of the book. Please don't break up or anything because I do not want to handle any sort of romantic subplot. Unless Sven and "Will" decide for more than just subtext. We'll see. Hugs and kisses, Robo PS, Gil, I mean it about knowing next to nothing about you. Fix it please. --- Dear Nanette, You are a lovely contrast to my Punchclock/Pelagian Villain. It's a shame you only appear toward the end, because I am going to love writing you. -cackles- Looking forward to your appearance, Robo

I will develop you sometime but I just know you'll be the MC in any novel I put you in, and Duke is also that person so you guys can't really share a book. Be patient. --Your Author Dear Stewart, I apologize for dumping all my leftover character traits on you, but I kind of like you this way. Good luck with Bethany. Don't do anything stupid. --Your Author Dear random Russian characters that keep popping into my head, What is your deal? I don't even know anything about Russia! Stop multiplying! --Your Author

Dear Vivian and Aaron, I don't know what it is about your family that likes to mess with my plotlines. Vivian! However much I appreciate the development, I didn't need you to leave your family and your home to do it! I didn't want you to join the bad guys, even if it is helping me understand them and their ways a little bit better. Furthermore, I didn't need you to do it NOW. When this won't be happening in my NaNoNovel. Hell, it may never happen. It's not until book 3. Who knows if I'll even finish book 1? And YOU. Aaron! Just because your sister leaves home doesn't mean that you need to break your parents' heart by doing it as well! Not only have you abandoned my MC in her story, but you have abandoned your mother, your father, your best friend, your boyfriend, and honestly, I am quite sick of it! You were not meant to be such a major character. You were supposed to be the sweet and shy balance to James. You were not supposed to be the reason that he's not pissed off at everyone and wants to punch a wall (Don't panic, Luke is stopping him before he gets hurt). And THAT doesn't happen until book 2, so STOP DEVELOPING YOUR PLOTLINE. Love, Sam (Ugh. My characters are insisting on developing future plots when I barely have the current one figured out)

Dear Kitty, I think it's adorable how you prefer your nickname and honestly think it less weird than your birth name. :D I would, however, like to know why you perked up all "Oh, that's me!" when I read a reference to Benedict Cumberbatch in NaNoisms - I don't think you're tall enough to be played by him. Or are you? Damnit, you're going to make me look up how tall Cumberbatch is, aren't you? I would also like to know more about you. Yes, I realise you're being reticent because you can't remember what's happened the last seven years of your life. I don't care. Tell me about what you DO remember, please and thank you. Love, Inoru

Dear Antagonist, You are extremely badass and have won the approval of everyone else who has heard about your exploits and acts of evil, and the protagonist and other good characters in the story are justifiably terrified of you. However, could you please come up with a motivation for said acts of evil, as that will make you easier to write about and avoid awkward conversations such as "Why do you steal mortal men and then kill their women?" "Oh, you know, there's nothing on TV..." Can you also come up with a more plausible explanation for how you came to be trapped in your position, because "I'm here because the author put me here" doesn't quite cut it. Cheers, Your Supreme Creator.

You have such great spirit and if you do show up let me know. Dear Hannah, I'm keeping an eye on you and telling you to keep your hands to yourself. You and Simon are only friends. Also, I know how difficult it is for you, but you have to lighten up a little. Dear Antagonist, Where are you? Giving me the silent treatment isn't going to earn you any cool points later, in fact, if I hold a grudge, you can expect a happy ending for my main characters to be in order. I know you don't want that. Forever love, Lil

Jay, you are going to have the most kick ass grade 11 year ever, trust me. Even if you do get hit on by your scary, senior, math teacher who smells like some kind of mix of Febreeze and banana pie. And yes, Beckett is really hot. I agree. (this is where you deny it vehemently, and Lexi proceeds to kick the shit out of you for lying, isn't it?) Love always, you little twerp Mum. Beckett; Baby boy, you just make me smile every time I think about writing you. I wish you were real so I could hug you. But please. Stop with that straight nonsense. We all know that you're horribly in love with Jay. Even your dog thinks so. Hugs and kisses, Mum. Lexi, Dude, fist pump. You rock something fierce. But seriously, it's getting old. Hook up with Troy already, okay honey? And Jay needs you just as much as you need him. Yours is a friendship for always. Monster hug for the T-rex, Mum.

Or how are you going to sabotage a big enemy? And who *is* the enemy anyway? Remember, you will have Jonathan under your control for a while: make hay while the sun shines and get him to do something. He's a pretty slippery character and he's smarter than you think, so make it big. And you better put a pretty good tracer on him to make sure he does what you want him to.

Dear Xanthe, I'm stoked that you want to be my narrator. You were only supposed to be a very minor character, but hey, things change. However, if you are going to be my narrator, you're going to have to figure out an actual personality for yourself. So far, all I have is that you love Iphigenia, but that's barely even a character trait. You have 17 days to figure it out, or I'm going with 3rd person limited. Yours, Faithlessone. * Darling Iphigenia, If you too could figure out a personality, that would be awesome. It hurts me that the two second-string protagonists have well-developed characteristics and relationships, but you, my main and basically title character, don't know how you feel about anyone else in the cast, including yourself. Sort it out? Yours, Faithlessone.

Also, think of all the people who want to kill you outside that city. I'm really just trying to protect you, so stop complaining! Dear West and Ezekiel, I know you guys can't stand each other, but I'm the one who makes the decisions here. So when I say you work together this time, you behave and do what I say without killing one another. Thanks a lot. Dear unnamed magician, so I know you really wanted to be in this book because you have been telling me that for quite a while. I guess you just forgot to mention your name. Please do so now.

Dear Zofia, I'm sorry for breaking your heart. I know he's acting like an ass. I know you've forgiven him, but he can't forgive himself. First he didn't tell you about his drug conviction and jail time, then he went and got himself kidnapped. It wasn't his fault that the bad guys got you, beat you up and kept you prisoner, but he blames himself. Would it help to know he'll be back in a few years? Not this novel, not the next one,but one further down the line? I promise you'll have some fun in the meantime. You'll even move on in some ways. It won't be boring.

Dear unnamed sidekick dragon, OK, hi little dragon. I came up with your idea about 10 minutes ago, so please let me know what colour you are, what you like doing, what kind of dragon you are, what your sense of humour is, what music you like and if you are related to Pokka in any way.

Dear Tribe Innocent, Ok, so there are a lot of you, and you're all inspired by people I know, and many of you combine traits from more than one person I know. Please have patience with me, we will get this sorted out into something workable. There may be a lot of switching around of dialogue/action/character traits until we get things settled and rolling. Specifically these characters are holding us up: Jess and Emmy - right now you two are little better than cardboard cutouts of people, if you could develop some basic personalities, that would be awesome. Priest - I know who you're based off of, but I have no clue who you are. I know you're a fairly silent character, but I need more insight soon lest I really mess up your role and have to cut you out entirely. Blue - are your motivations selfish or altruistic? You can go either way, I just need to know before we get started. Everyone else, thank you for doing a relatively decent job of letting me get to know you, just don't feel like you can slack off now!

Although, yeah, I do see your point. xiy - Dear Ethan, You should just stop trying to bake. It's good for nothing other than comic relief, which, I'll have you know, is the only reason I've been tolerating it for as long as I have.

I'd really appreciate it. alias03001 ----------------------- Dear Ted, Could you please let me know if you've decided what your hair color is. Sandy brown or blond? I need to know before November, if you don't mind. alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Narcissa, Have you decided yet which of your older sisters you will be acting more life? I need to know if I should write you as being more like Bellatrix or Andromeda. alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Lucius, Still the bastard I expected you to be? Yes? I thought so. Well, that makes it easy. alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Bellatrix, How much do you intend on pestering your younger sister? Oh, quite a bit? Okay then. Thank you for making that easy on me. I know how to write you know. alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Rodolphus, Have you already started on the dark, twisted path that will lead to your destruction? alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Cygnus, Considering who your sister is, I suppose it shouldn't be all that surprising that the end of the story will lead to Andromeda's estrangement from the family. You're a bit of a pushover, aren't you? alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Druella, Will it be you or your husband who is harshest on Andromeda for wanting to follow her heart? Your or your sister-in-law who destroys Andromeda the most? alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Christophe, Well...we both knew this was coming, didn't we? I rather enjoyed writing about you, and you enjoyed being written about that you found a place in my new story. Okay, then; I'll keep that in mind. And, this time, I will make sure that you have more of a storyline than simply giving advice. You deserve much more than that. alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Tabitha, Well, aren't we conceited? What is this, two years in a row that you've been a part of my November novels. If you're going to be in this story, I suppose I will just have to let you in on a little secret; you might be Andromeda's best friend, but the truth of the matter is that your role is very limited. alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Gabriel, Okay, to be honest, I never thought I would find myself writing about you again. I thought I was finished with you months ago. But, really? You, all of a sudden, decided that you would be Andromeda's betrothed? Gabe, have you any idea of what you are setting yourself up for? You are preparing for a marriage that will never occur. What in the world are you thinking? Oh, wait...is this the reason for what happens in the future, why you set out on the path that you did? Oh, that's twisted! That's very twisted! alias093001 ----------------------- Dear Dolores, Really, Dee? Was it really necessary to inject yourself into this story when there is no reason for it. Your brother and sister each have reasons for being in this story. Not so much you. Trying to maintain order, are you? Trying to gain control of the story, hmm? Well, it isn't going to happen, of that I can assure you. alias093001

Oh, and a solid personality would be good. I mean, I've got some idea but not nearly enough. Don't make me choose your brother as the MC. Hugs and kisses, Your Future Author Dear Sandor/Skandor/Skander/whatever the heck your name is, I love you. You are adorable. Even though I don't technically know how old you are since you're pretty much just '2-3 years younger than Evren', I already think you're the cutest little brother ever. And while I think it might be fun if you die, don't worry too much. I like reincarnation. And necromancy. There's always a high probability you'll come back. Plus I have no real plot yet so it's not like you for-sure have to worry. So much love, Your Future Author Dear Plot, Where are you? No love, Your Future Author

Dear Ruth, You're sniveling a little at the moment. Buck up and tell me what you want. Give me a smile. Give me a reason to love you and want to write you for a month. Dear Pip, Snarl for me. Drink more. Be a cad. Be a debonair, suave cad - you're sniveling too. Dear Mack, WHY ARE YOU SO BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT? Yes, yes, I know you're not "perfect" per se, but you're imperfect and twitchy and flawed in all the right places. Put your foot in your mouth for once - and swallow it this time. I need to see you squirm. Dear Essie, I miss you. Pop up more. I feel like you're trying to tell me something but my phone keeps ringing and I keep having to cancel our appointments. Dear Eileen, Don't put up with Ruth's crap! You're not a perfect friend. Disown her for a few weeks. Forget her, then come see her show later. She'll apologise then, I promise. Kisses, Chase

Dear Miranda Smith, Please shut up and let your room mates have the floor. Not all of them are as vocal as you are. Either that or read their minds and tell me about them! And don't give that moral stuff if you're going to hog the floor. I know enough about you for right now. I need to start getting to know my other characters. Especially Nathan since I think he's going to be the narrator for Book 1. No, I don't know which book you'll narrate but it's either Book 2 or 3. Which won't come if I can't finish Book 1 because I blank on page one because I don't know anything about anyone but you! Thank you, Sarah Dear Nathan O'Connell, PLEASE start talking to me! Yes, I know that means trying to get a word in edge wise against Miss Motormouth, but if you're going to be the character I follow around, I really need you to start talking. Yes, I know I'm toying with killing you off in book 2, but that's not set in stone. And I'll kill you off before the book 1 starts if you don't start talking to me. It would give the other four a powerful motivator to say yes to the aliens you know. Thanks, Sarah Dear Gabriel Martinez Cruz, Please tell me more about yourself than the fact that you're from a very traditional Latino home. I need more than that! I need a reason for you to say yes to go with the aliens. Telling me you're from a traditional Latino home doesn't help me, that hinders me! Unless you're telling me they think you're a demon, in which case please confirm that! It might give you the kick you need to go out and play hero so that maybe they'll think you're a guardian spirit or something. I don't know. Muchas gracias, Sarah Dear Takeshi "Tanner" Saito, Thank you for telling me you were a foster child. Please, tell me more though. I totally get why that makes you say yes. You won't feel abandoned and you won't be alone again. But please, I could use more of your personality. Thank you, Sarah Kamaria Wood, Thank you for finally getting in a word edgewise against Miranda. I'm glad you're the daredevil type, I just hope you don't cross over into the Mary-Sue category. So please, please, please don't do that. I really could use a character with precognition on the team. And yes, I know that means you'll occasionally have to spoil the fun, but being alive is better than being dead, now isn't it? Thank you, Sarah Dear other characters needed for this story, PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF! Including your names. Of course knowing who I need to chase down with a pitchfork would be so much easier if Nathan would start telling me who he is. Aliens, this includes yourself as well. I already know the major thing about you, but I need more on the individuals that will be interacting with my five mutants. And NO you may not split them up. At least not for very long. And not for Book 1. Maybe in another book if you start behaving. Thanks, Sarah

Dear Elliott, First, sorry. I know it's hard, especially after your brother was killed, but please focus on the letters, each one contains a valuable lesson. You're such an asshole in the start, you might wanna try not doing that. Try to get on with Chelsea, eventually. Keep being your snarky, compulsively-lying, stoic self, I'm glad of it. -Laura Dear Benjamin, Please decide if this is your real name? Sorry for your death occurring in the early chapters, it's necessary to the entire plot though. And you were super smart too, now if you'd just let me know how the hell you got all these letters distributed without knowing your death was that imminent. Again, sorry, but at least Elliott will learn something from it. -Laura Dear Chelsea, Please let me know if you're going to keep this name. And well, let me know about your personality, all I know right now is that you dye your hair a lot, which isn't that helpful to be honest. And can you at least help Elliott off the booze/drugs/cigarettes, I know that he hates you, but you may be promoted to love interest if you make a good enough job of it. Just don't lose sight that it's your best friend that's died, in the midst of Elliot's angsting. -Laura Dear Imogen, I like you already. You're the 'black sheep' of the family, although nobody really knows why, and I'm sorry that your family doesn't approve of the rampant womanising (okay, that may be why they don't like you so much...) Sorry your part's going to be fairly incidental, but it's still crucial to the plot. -Laura Dear fake-ghetto-gangsta-Benjamin's-penpal, Please have a name. Other than that, you're perfect. Again, sorry for having such a small part, but a lot of characters do besides Elliott, Benjamin and Chelsea. Stay awesome. -Laura

What ever prompted you to even -remotely- consider the guy! I know you're a teenager, but stop being. . . . well, stupid! And while I thank you for actually telling me almost all your backstory, you do realize that some of that will have to be written from Elric's point of view, right? Thanks. Serena. - - - Dear Elric: Ok, I like what you're telling me. There's just one problem. Stop being so bloody angsty about letting Robert go off! That was what,10 years before the main story? Well, yes, I might use that as a prequel or something, enough already! Get over it! And I want to know how you found the Holy Grail. Please tell me. And if you really want to get with Aewyn, fine, but it's -not- going to be the focus of the story, alright? There. Serena - - - Dear Robert: I'm actually really glad. You're co-operating with me quite nicely. I like your sense of humour. I'm sorry that I make your life suck, but you seem to be ok with most of it. I'm also really sorry your daughter's so much trouble. Can you reign in Elric just a bit? Thanks. Serena - - - Dear Aewyn: I like you, even if your name's hard to pronounce. You can like Elric all you want; just don't be too showy, please? And no, you -can't- go with Rhiannon. You're supposed to be a secondary character. Lets see if we work this out, alright? Serena - - - Dear Helaine: Where'd you come from? I like you. I'd like to know more about you. I'm sorry that you'll be stuck as a background character for the most part. I'll see if I can have you do some interesting things, but you're being rather bland. Tell me a bit more and I'll see what I can do. Fair deal? Serena. - - - Dear Unnamed Squire. Shut Up! Serena

Dear Evie Fielder, GET A GRIP!!! the ghosts dont need to talk, the building does it for them :p Dear Selina Prior, Do you even know the name fo the hospital you got put in? Do you know which Cholera outbreak made you an orphan? don't you ever question how you were the sole survivor? oh, and exactly which authorities do you want to report your evil relatives to in 1845? thanks for your time and provide me with some accurate information and some words to provoke a little more atmosphere! yours truly, Kally

I only really have one gripe with you, sweetheart. You gotta tell me when you'd like your first kiss to be. You've given me at least five mental images of what you'd like to happen, and every time one idea seems like the one you go on and suggest something else! Please just... sit down, take a moment to breathe, and decide which idea seems the most natural and comfortable for you. Remember, whatever you choose, I'll love it and happily write it out for you. Love you lots, HM -- Dear Kit, I hate to be annoying, but you're giving me trouble on when/how to introduce a certain scene, too. It's good that you've decided to let Aaron have a peek at what's behind the patch, but, like Virgil's doing, you're giving me at least three scenario's... hey! I know! How about the two of you sit together and brainstorm together :p two heads are better than one anyway. Oh yeah, and I forgot your normal hair color. Be nice if you could clarify that for me again.

Dear Piper, We've been together for a while now. This will be our third Nano to be exact. We've been (well you've been) though a lot during that time. I thoght we have something special going. You've always been so talkative a helpful at providing information. So why darling are you so quiet. We've come to a turning point in your journey and I don't know anything about you. How could that be darling? I know you left a dead end job when you applied for Miss Cute Girl. What kind of job was it? Do you have siblings? Are your parents still living? Where do they live? Are they still in the town that you grew up in? What is the name of the town you grew up in? When you leave Atlantic City this time are you going back home or are you going someplace else? What kind of company is Scapegoat Inc? I know this is a lot to ask for. but we don't have much time left. I figured that since this book is about you, you'd be more forthcoming about your personal life then you have. Why are you so sercretive? Please provide me with these answers as soon as possible. If you refuse to co-operate, then I just might have to start plotting ( and we both know what happens when I over plan) Get to work, your biggest fan

Let's face it, you're making adrien feel like a complete moron with his frequent use of hand motions that you refuse to even acknowledge. I also understand you've had a rough life as of so far BUT COME ON! Would I really surround you with untrustworthy characters? nO, the correct answer is no. Okay maybe at some points but you really need to just TRUST Adrien and his father, I know them, it's all good. Thanks, Sabrina Dear Auguste I know your heart is in the right place but you come across as creepy. Stop it. Sabrina Dear Adrien, Your dad (Auguste) is creepy, could you tell him that? I have a feeling he isn't listening to me. I'd also like to tell you to buck up and learn how to fight. The world isn't all unicorns and daisies. People are dying, stop expecting that to stop.

As awesome as you guys are, I sort of need to know what you're doing in order for you guys to be interesting. Also, would a few more of you mind introducing yourselves? I see you lurking in the back, but you haven't actually made yourselves completely known to me. Don't be shy! I don't bite too hard. Dear mysterious-organization-with-dubious-motives, I know you like being all secretive and crap, but I'm going to need some info about you too. What the smeg do you do anyway? And how; and why? I mean what you claim to do, I already know what you secretly do. I don't need an address, but at least a company name would be nice. Just send me your sales pitch or something. I eagerly await your responses. Sincerely, Kells

Dear Castiel, I understand that you've been through a lot, and sometimes it seems like there's no reason to keep trying. But for that exact reason, you need to toughen up a bit. That may sound unsympathetic, and I apologize, but you're not the only one who suffered when the rebels were cast out. Although Suriel is gone, he is still alive, and you know that he's safe. You have Balthazar now, and you can't count on him forever. Dear Balthazar, I'm sorry. The devil literally made me do it. When in doubt, blame Lucifer, right? Dear Suriel, I feel like we really understand one another, and you know more than anyone how to liven up a dull moment. Thank you so much for being upfront and honest with me, because it just makes everything easier for everybody. In our short time together so far, I've really enjoyed working with you, and I can only hope that this will continue through November.

I'm the only one who does, and I'm scared to say anything. I'm number seven and the most ordinary of the lot. Nothing exciting is supposed to happen to me." Which is great and fantastic and really intriguing, but if you want me to write your story this November, you're going to have to TELL ME WHAT IT'S ABOUT! I don't care how shy and modest you are or how shiny and appealing your promised story is. If you don't tell me more about it, I'm going back to the other one. Sincerely, Realmer

Dear Adrian, You have a name now! Woohoo! I'm glad I found you a different name before 'JP' stuck. I've named characters after existing fictional characters before just because a temporary name stuck. You are not being one of them. So you're evil somehow. I don't know exactly what you do that's evil, but you do something. You're one of my semi-antagnoists. I don't really have a true antagonist in this thing, so I just have a few different people who do semi-evil stuff so I hope that adds up to one whole antagonist. And let's just get this straight right now: You are never taking over Charlie's job as Love Interest. NEVER. Okay? Never. Could you possibly tell me what the evil thing you do to Grace is? It doesn't have to be 'you contributed to the death of her mother' evil (that slot is already taken by Mallory) but whatever it is, I'd like to know before November. Love, Faye xxx Dear Maria, We have a problem. You appear to be a bit of a cliche. According to some people in the Fantasy forum, it's boring when a princess doesn't want to go through with her arranged marriage and wants to marry someone she loves instead. Oops. But your issue is that he isn't in your world. Maybe... Rather than worrying about it and wanting to run away, you resigned yourself to the fact that you were going to have to marry Howard/Harold/Whatever, and you're okay with it. You're okay with the fact that your life is boring. You've accepted it. You don't even consider running away until G shows up. Yeah. That sounds less cliched I suppose... We'll figure more of this out later. Also, I don't know if I should write some stuff from your POV at the beginning of the novel, or if we don't hear anything from you until halfway through when the rest of the gang come to the other world. I DON'T KNOOOOWWWWW. Help? And I think it's interesting that you were the very first character I created for this series, yet you're one of the ones I know the least. I suppose it's because you've changed the most, too. You've changed age-wise (why did I think it was a good idea for you to be twice the age of your primary love interest?) and pretty much your entire role in the story has changed, with you becoming a princess and all that. And the whole amnesia thing didn't give you much chance to develop a personality. Hmm. Love, Faye xxx

Hayden I understand your the big bad Vampire that isn't use to having anyone around more powerful than you are... But honey, Raven isn't from your world. Shes a Shadow. You try to pick her up by the neck she just ghosts on you so how are you ever going to win a fight with her? Just let her tackle and sit on you already. She will be happy and you will get to meet the woman/shadow of your dreams. I mean really, do you want to be the one who wins the mini battle or the man who gets the girl? The choice seems obvious to me.

Dear Etta, I'm sorry you had to die, but your sister never would have joined the troupe and there would be no plot. Dear Ella, Don't be a brat. You will live a long and semi-happy life... I think. Dear Kelley, Please let me know if you like Ella or not, I really need to know by the time November starts, thanks. Dear Susan, Where the heck did you come from, and why are you suddenly becoming so important? Also, where did you learn to play the violin? Dear Jean, Please help me help you work out why your daughter doesn't like you anymore, I don't really want to talk to her. Dear Mariel, Why are you so paranoid, and do you want to be friends with Ella? I can't tell yet. Dear Bonnie, Why would you do that?

Hi Ell, you do prefer Ell right? Okay. I'm sorry you're a social outcast and no one likes to be around you, but could you let me in on what you think of all this? I would really like to know who exactly you are, what in the world you do for a living, and why the hell it is you break someone out of jail. That is all. Seralis Dear MMC You need a name. This no-name thing isn't going to work. I kind of know what you look like and that you managed to get yourself thrown in jail, but I don't know you. This needs to change. Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my novel? Seralis

I have heard so much about you and am absolutely thrilled that you've agreed to work on this project with us. I was wondering if it was at all possible, if you could help me with my other characters as you have so much more experience than us. I know you're very busy during November but any help would be very much appreciated. Well, I don't want to take up any more of your time, sir. Thank you again. Yours faithfully, Wolfme

Yet as soon as I sit down to write it all out, you vanish and so does inspiration. What the deuce? Stop playing hard to get. You better show up, stable and ready, when November rolls around. Or I'll hunt you down like a dog. Okay? Okay. Love, Your frustrated author. Dear Will, Please shut up. I am not making you look like a douchebag. That's just how you act, and I'm attempting you make you a rounded character. Note that I said attempting. And please make yourself cute enough so that you'll have a couple of fangirls. Also. Keep your sister in line, please. Your author Dear Characters Who Will Be Participating in Other Short Stories, Please have your names, bio, personalities, flaws, and accompanying story line prepared for November. Those who do not do so will be disqualified. Don't think I won't know you're slacking, I created you. I know where you all live. Please and thank you, Your soon-to-be-author.

Dear Where the Winds Meet Characters, You guys sound cool but if you don't get a plot together soon, I'm going with one of the other two casts. It's nothing personal but an idea without a story is nothing. Sincerely, TLO Dear Modern Day Scarlet Pimpernel characters, Thank you guys so much for showing up. You're already piquing my interest in your story and I applaud that. Though I must ask this one teeny tiny little question: a three-way marriage? Really? Okay, I guess, but I definitely need backstory on how in the world this is possible and your romantic histories would be really helpful. Thanks! Sincerely, TLO Dear Schulze and Cohen, You two won't get offended if I don't rewrite your story, right? Just want to be sure 'cause I love you both very much. Call me paranoid but I like having you two around and don't want to lose that. Sincerely, TLO

Re: Dear Character

Delie Novangelus — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 03:46:32 +0300

Dear Lt. Commander Cahill, You know, I knew from the start you were going to be a dick. That's kind of your niche in the plot, and at the time of conception, I was pretty okay with it. You're supposed to be an Ace in every sense of the word, seduce Frankie, but end up marrying your childhood sweetheart back in Philadelphia. I want to hate you. I really, really do. But then you had to up and not only apologize to her sincerely, but, after a suitable interval, continue as friends. And when your wife leaves you (during Korea), you don't immediately run to Frankie and treat her like sloppy seconds. Please don't make me like you. It's going to make writing your breaking the news of your marriage to Frankie that much more difficult. For my sake, continue to be a jerk. Too Much Love, Delie +++ Dear Elsie, Congratulations! Your my first narrating character in a very long time who is not in the Navy or pretending to be a man. All right, so you're in love with a Marine. I suppose it comes with the twin territories of (1) being in the Pacific during WWII and (2) being one of my characters. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for becoming aware of the fact you're in a story. It's making this vastly easier. Don't worry about the snark; Frankie's got that covered. Your shtick is being the incredibly philosophical, seemingly dumb starlet. Don't worry, you're not Marilyn Monroe. (Okay, the especially pop-culture savvy will pick up on a name reference.) Much Appreciation, Delie +++ Dear Frankie, Wow. I wish you were my older sister. I don't envy the crud you have to put up with, but, dang. You are one of the most awesome characters I've ever written. I'm really, really sorry about Cahill. And I'm sorry about Ellis before him. I'm not persecuting you. You just happen to embody the constant struggle between relationships and career, and your life is occasionally ... unpleasant ... because of it. Please Forgive Me, Delie +++ Dear Captain Jendrowski, Contrary to pop culture belief, being a Marine is no more a definition of character than being a blonde is. So don't just man up, please, develop more of a personality! I know you catch flack for your awful first name (Torquil) and your equally unpleasant nickname (Jenny), and you're a very thinky sort of person. You make multiple Moby-Dick references and quote both Wilfred Owen and Virgil. Please, continue with the character development. I still don't know why you like Elsie. I mean, she's a Hollywood starlet who's fallen head over teakettle for you, but there's more there than that. Keep talking to me, please? Also, thank you for not being in the Navy. I was starting to sound like a one-track record, even to myself. -Delie +++ Dear Ira Bolton Orchestra, Be in the story, will you!? No Love -Delie

Dear Eric: Running away from what's really bothering you isn't the answer, maybe by the end of the novel you will see things my way. Dear Devin: Get therapy. Your anxiety and undealt with issues are going to drive Eric away if you don't get a handle on yourself.

Dear Evita, Haha! That's actually the name of the story! *snickers* At any rate, I tried to draw you today the way I pictured you, with your corkscrew curls spilling over your shoulders. But then I had to erase the drawing, because your expression was really bad. I don't know what kind of expressions you like to make, but the story will lead into it. By the end of November, I think I'll be able to draw you. Anyway. Your job is to develop yourself a legitimately interesting personality and not be some perfect heroine or generic quirky oddball. I've already invented some hobbies for you. You like to play with pencil sharpeners, draw family trees and read big fat books. You're sort of falling in love with Marlowe as the story happens. You're also very wise. So, for the moment, that's all I have to go on. But I will say this--Marlowe thinks you're really something else again. The Beatrice to his Dante, the inspiration that he models his life around, blah blah blah. I don't know if I really agree with him. Yet. You've got to MAKE me agree with him. Do it, kid. I'm counting on you. Love, SweetJuly Dear Marlowe, I'll just call you that, since it's what you prefer to be called, apparently. What I want to know is, is your real name Martin or Mark? Make your mind up, kid. It's easier if I blame you for this stuff. I know I've been on a Percy Jackson kick lately, but could you not be Percy Jackson? Please? He belongs to Rick Riordan, not me. And if I'm not satisfied with your first-person POV, I can and will mess around with the whole thing until I am satisfied. I can hear your "high, husky voice" now: "But if I'm not Percy Jackson, then who am I?" Good question. I'll leave you to answer it yourself. And I'm not going to tell you if you live or die. That's your mystery. Love, SweetJuly

Dear character, I only have a vague semblance of who you are, and I'm not even sure what your name is, though the fact that the filename for one of my drawings of you is "foxy Lexi" means that you're probably named Alex. The problem, however, is that you do not belong in this year's novel. This novel takes place during World War I and you, my dear, are a 1920s dandy. You do not belong in this era. Go back to the pansy club from whence you came until next year when I can finally write your story. Thank you.

Please? I would love you if I actually knew you, Aerlinn Dear Isamu, No! You are not a teenager. STOP THAT! Yours exasperatedly, Aerlinn Dear Revanen, You were supposed to be a nice, simple old-wizard-y type threading the story together.

Dear Rose, Jon, and Max, Ok in order: Rose. No, I’m not saving Lily. She will die, that’s how the plot starts, I’m not bring her back from the dead, this is Sci-fi not fantasy, and I’m not letting another sister take her place. Lily’s death is what starts the whole bloody thing, I kinda need it! Yes, you are going to have to go on the run to stay alive, I do not care if bounty hunters don’t run, you will. Finally, can you STOP making me write you as the love child of Squall and Cloud! It’s bad enough you look like Lighting, but I can deal with that, but STOP acting like Squall and Cloud, it’s really annoying! Jon. Thank you for being the one who is willing to just do what I want him to. I’ve worked out the plot in my head. Ever other character has more loose ends then I care for. So just let me say, thank you for keeping everything nice and neat…you will be getting a reward at the end of this story. Max. Just leave me alone! You’re just a bit player for now, yes you get a role later, but for now you’re just a small fish. I need to flesh out my MC, Rose, and the love interest, Jon, before you even get a line in this mess. If you leave me alone I will give you some prankster girl who you can have a romantic subplot with. Love Wingsofchange

What secrets do you hold? -Your Author Dear Caleb: Stop smirking at me. I would like a straight answer out of you. How many centuries have you been alive? What is your backstory? And MUST you flirt with everything in a skirt? You are sooo not my usual vampire character. -Your Author Dear Nick: Oh, Nick. Angsty, emo, sexy Nick. Your issues will make for a lot of potential. I may just hook you and Catty up. I really like you. However, could you speak up a bit more? Silent intensity is all well and good, but I need more. -Your Author Dear Supreet: Wow. Um.

Dear Mr. Tremaile, You're the best character I've ever created, or at least by far the coolest one, and because of this I've been tolerant of your quite frankly very annoying habit of story-hopping, as if no setting I've tried to write you into was good enough for Your Excessively Elegant Asshatness. This time I'm serious, though. You've had your way so far, but this is it now, you're stuck with Evernight and I'm not going to create a replacement for you just because you don't think the story's cool enough to suit you, no sir. So you might as well make peace with that and have some Victorian era clothes tailored. Sincerely, Author Dear First Person Narrator / Main Character, Could you kindly decide upon a name already? I would be ever so grateful. Sincerely, Your Quite Frustrated Author

Dear Elric; It seems my last piece of correspondence worked. Thank you. You answered my questions nicely, though I'm not completely sure about your whole vision-thing. I'll let it stand for now until we get to writing it, how does that sound? Also, although I appreciate the dialog/speech you gave to Deryn, could you please do it when I'm either at the computer or have a notebook so I can write this stuff down? Seriously, it gave me shivers, and now I can't remember what you said! Though by introducing your sister as someone with a personality and back story. . . it's made it really hard to kill her! Not sure what to make of this. Serena Dear Deyrn: Ok, so I was planning to have you not really be a character. And yes, you being alive fixes a couple of plot holes. And I actually quite like you. But you're going to completely change Rhiannon's look on the world now, you realize that? So now I have to poke Rhiannon into saying what she thinks of you, because she was never supposed to know you! And I'm sorry, but you have to be a bit of a whimp. Now stop whining. We can't have -everyone- in the story rebelling against the setting. Not sure what to make of this either. Serena Dear Gwyedth: Ok, you're no longer the Unnamed Squire. Fine. You're still only going to be a tertiary character at best. Too bad. Live with it. Serena

So, I would really do something interesting pretty soon if I were you. Love, ProEx Dear Frieda, You're an awesome antagonist. I love you, even if you do end up killing many of my MC's friends and church family. Or is it synagogue family? Since Phoebe's Jewish?

Dear Bridge Builder: A name would be useful. I have an idea why you think the whole mess is yours to sort out - I think it's going to get a whole lot messier, but you're well used to that. I have no fears for you, but... take care anyway. Please? Dear Secondary Character: You rock. Your act of bravery impressed the hell out of me - the Bridge Builder is a scary woman and will not hesitate to kill you. Remember that. I also get the feeling that you're holding something back - it had better not be anything sinister, because she Will Not Like That. Dear kids: I'm sorry somebody killed you. There's two angry characters trying to find out who, so that will have to be enough, but any hints will be appreciated. Love, me Dear Venna: I'm not abandoning you. We've been together for nearly three years, and we have a book and 3/4 to go. If you have something to say, I will write it down, but your story bogs down more often than not, and I really want to write something else at some point, but if you want me to continue with your story you will have to... do something. Scary, I know. Dear Matho: I know you're decent to the bone, but that doesn't mean Faerie does not have a challenge or two waiting for you. Sorry about that. Hope you make it through. Dear Kieron: Try not to scare the rest of my characters more often than you have to. That was a very Fey stunt you pulled earlier, and not everybody will forgive you. Love, me Dear Rhailed and Rhanion: Ok, so you're more than very close friends. I'm glad I didn't publish your story earlier; I'm fully on board with making that clear in the revision, it's all over the text anyway, although you won't get a Happily Ever After, since Rhailed already had his, and look how *that* turned out, but mostly happily now I can do. Just... Yeah. I understand that the shiny! new software (Storyist) you discovered which will make it easier to keep track of all plot threads is going to be a great asset, but... we're coming up to November. I can't write 50K on a new novel, keep writing on an old novel *and* revise 125K. Ain't gonna happen, so please be patient. Love, me.

Dear Kitty, It is not a requirement that you speak entirely in quotes from the dare and prompt threads but it looks like that may well be the case. Many apologies, Queen PS. Though you're probably having a ball with those lines anyway Dear Cassie, Kitty's letter also applies here. In addition, you can't wear school uniform, you're 18. Give me an outfit to work with Thanks, Queen Dear Chess, Pick a voice and stick to it. I need to pin down exactly what kind of snarky you are and that isn't going to help if your imaginary voice actor is leaping around all over the place. Also, stop looking so much like the America McGee games Cheshire Cat. He's creepy. You're not that creepy... Though considering the voices you're choosing... Queen Dear Colin, What is your connection to these insane people? Seriously, this needs to be believable or the readers will wonder what the heck you're even doing in this novel and dammit you're too sweet to get rid of? PlzThnksByXQueen Dear Antagonists Show yourselves dammit would you? Queen

Dear All the Characters in that New Idea, Hi, yeah. I need names. Really, I am so in love with your world; it's awesome. And giving me more and more about your social customs and all is great. But I really need some names. I can't keep referring to you as The Leader, or The General, or The Queen, or The Princess. Need something a little more concrete here. Oh, and a plot would be nice, as well. kthxbai, Remi --------------------------- Dear Leonidas, Seriously, are you still alive or what? I mean you are the FMC's father, if you are still around somewhere I need to know. You can't keep popping in whenever you feel like it and being all 'Hi!' with jazz hands and then disappearing. I need an answer. Also if you are still alive, where you have been for the last 17 years would be greatly appreciated as well. Just saying. Your annoyed author, Remi --------------------------- Dear California, Are you..I mean...Really?...ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? I know you remember that when I discovered you all went by code-names, that one of the first I wrote down was Sniper. And that I was absolutely sure that there was a character who was named Sniper, but I couldn't coax him to come and have a chat with me. No matter how many guns and ammunition I tried to taunt him with, he just wouldn't come out of the shadows. And now, are you seriously telling me that you are Sniper? That I have spent all these years looking for your name and it was that? That's it. I am writing in a plot point where you get kidnapped by the enemy and tortured for a couple of chapters. Seriously irritated, Remi

Dear Ren So. After last year's MC decided on the second of November that we were going to set the novel on a continent that I knew absolutely nothing about, necessitating hours of emergency research, I had got this year all worked out. We were going with my nearest city. Absolutely no research needed. And you were on board. I knew you were. After all, I found you loitering at the bus stop outside of the train station. How much more local could you get? But now I know why you spent the last few weeks refusing to talk to me. Hanging around, looking moody. I thought it was part of the image. I let it go. After all, you'd come around in your own time. No point forcing it. And I was right. You did start talking. About your life, your dreams, your home... Your home. In Australia. Turns out you were just visiting, and are planning on dragging my MC2 back with you at the earliest opportunity. Now, don't get me wrong. I love Australia. I really do. But it's been at least twelve years since I visited and my memory isn't getting any better. This is going to mean some serious research. Again. You are not my favourite person at the moment. Yours seethingly Halo

Dear Aiken, What are you going to do to not seem like such a wimp? I mean, I know it's my fault you're kind of small and cute, and you're the only one around with no powers, and you spent much of your life sulking because you thought your dead father was a homophobe who hated you when he was really trying to protect you from the same people who killed him, and you accidentally get trapped in a parallel universe by the half-sister you never knew you had, but could you let me know what b.a. stuff you're gonna do to prove you're important and cool? Awesome, thanks. Dear London, Thank you for going to all the trouble of actually learning to use your powers in all kinds of fantastic ways. You truly are an inspiration to a younger generation of miscreants. Dear Jack, I'm a big fan of villains who are so realistic and relatable that you almost want to cheer for them. I'm not sure I'm getting that from you. I guess it's not really a necessity, but it would be nice. I guess I could wait until book 2, since you and I both know you're actually going to survive for the sequel/part 2!

Dear Piper, If it all goes wrong this November, blame it on the Plot. If you want to have any say in this story, you better start talking NOW! Plot has throwing ideals at me all day. They are really good. They are so good in fact that Plot got me to do something I swore I would never do...... ( make an outline) (shudder) I didn't want it to have to come to this, but you left me no choice. I thought I had control over your story, but Plot is stealing what little control I had. So if you want a have way decent story this year, start talking.

Dear Evander Owens, I love the name Evander. But coupled with Owens? I'm still not sure. When I say it...it's like...rhyme-y, or sing-song-ish or too perfect. When I finally write you, I'll probably mention your last name once and then forget you have one. Maybe Evander Olson is better. I dunno. We'll see, but neither of those names exactly scream the image of you I have in my head. Love, your indecisive creator. Dear Cillian Eccleston, Thanks for deciding on a last name I'm moderately happy with. Maybe I should just never give your or Evander's last names. It could work, maybe. Love, still unsure creator.

Dear Atti, Why do you have to be so gosh dang fricken adorable? You're my favorite character and I love you, but it's not your turn. Don't take it personally. I'm just waiting to tell your side of things until I know enough to tell it right. And I don't yet so you'd better take a freaking backseat, dangit. You're the bad guy. At least, you're supposed to be. I get that what I'm asking you to do goes against your moral code and you're totally conflicted, but you also have a strong sense of justice, so you'd better go on a "fully justified" murderous rampage and stop your crazy-@$$ father or I'll rip your pretty-boy hair out of your freaking skull. I swear. Oh, and before I go, I meant to ask...Do you know where your stupid sister left her personality? If so, could you tell me? Love always, Syri Dear Kyra, Where's your freaking personality? I don't know all that much about you. I get that you were attacked and then you accidentally killed a guy and now you're TRAUMATIZED, but really, I kinda need more to go on than that. Help me out here. And don't give me any crap about how you're basically a soulless zombie due to your recent trauma and the severing of your link with your brother. I don't want to hear it. At the very least, let me know who you were BEFORE you became a dead-to-the-world piece of crap. PLEASE? You're jealous of your brother, right? But you feel a bit guilty about that. And you're much more social than your brother. Or at least, you were. Right? And you're uber-protective of him? Because...yeah. Okay? But I need a bit more than that, so...Help me out here? Please? I'm...kind of begging here, Kyra. It's rather undignified. So...I'll just go, shall I? And we'll continue this discussion later. Love, Syri

Dear kid, You might not be the MC after all. And I'm sorry, but you don't seem to have any friends. I'll try and work on that. Dear lady, Personality. Now. Dear scarface, Exactly how do you know these people? Dear jailbird, I love you. It might not seem like it, considering what I put you through, but I really do. Don't worry, I've got the whole tongue thing figured out. Dear traitor, Motivation please? A plot would be nice as well, since you seem to be the catalyst for it all. I hope you like flowers. Brief note to everyone--names at this point would be lovely, but personalities take precedence, so work on those first. Love, C

I know in the first novel I pretty much put you through hell with joining the TTK and finding out about your Dad, and I am sorry, but this year we need to keep it just as exciting. You remember how Debbie left her Time Key in the past after you rescued her? Yeah, somethings going on with that. And that book you read a little bit of, yeah somethings going down in the Eastern regions of Twelvefold. I just don't know what!

Please tell me at some point, A-P ----------------------------------- Dear Jack, You need to be less awesome. I'm starting to really regret making you a minor character. You deserve a spin-off series. But you can't have one, cuz you die. So be less awesome, if you don't mind. Also, your husband is a sweetheart, and I'm really sad that the pair of you get no 'screen-time' together. NO I'm not changing the plot to accommodate this. Maybe you'll get a prequel next year. If you're good, A-P --------------------------------------------- Dear Freddie, Can you stop being so amorphous? I get that you're an incredibly minor character, but your husband talks about you ALL the time, and he needs something to say besides 'I love you'. All I know about you is that you're a super nice guy and a total sweetie-pie. Jack needs to know more detail--he's your husband for crying out loud. Also, sorry for killing him in chapter 19. Hope that doesn't put to much of a damper on our relationship. It's actually Felix who kills him, not me, A-P -------------------------------------------- Dear Felix, WHY ARE YOU SO EVIL???????? Not that I mind, you're lovely, but some MOTIVE WOULD BE NICE!!!!!!! And would you please die when you're supposed to? Let Sean kill you. You have your fun with Jack, so let Sean get his revenge. Also, just what is your relationship with Krista? Please solidify, A-P ------------------------------ Krista, Who the hell are you? A-P ------------------------------

And I can't tell your story if I'm all confused so do speak up, or heaven help me I will name you Baron von Fluffin and laugh at you for the rest of your life because no matter what you say your name is after that, to me you will always be Baron von Fluffin. Sincerely, Me Dear MMC, I get it. You show up in like eight different time periods over the course of the story, and that necessitates eight different names. Do you have a graphic organizer or a timeline or something to help me with all these names? KTHANKSBYE, Me P.S. You're still awesome, don't change...please? Dear FMC, GET A PERSONALITY!!!!

Sandeep, your outlook on life is amazing. I wish I could be like you. You guys are truly excellent people, and I am going to miss you so much...but you just can't be in this story. It's not you. Really, it's not. It's just that Mikaela, we really don't need to know about how much you love Noah. Noah is too busy to deal with that. It's a meaningless complication to an already complicated plot. And Tobias, someone else already wants to kill Noah. Your rage is petty and beside the point, even though I know it's really important to you. And Sandeep, I'm sorry, but Rhiannon just doesn't have time to have an affair with you. She still thinks you're hot, I promise. You guys are better off, for real. Maybe one day I'll write your stories. This time, though, you need to step aside and let Noah, Rhiannon, and Vincent take the stage. I'm truly sorry. You were supposed to have starring roles, but I'm cutting them altogether. Maybe I'll throw you a bone and give you a bit part, but, that's all. Love, SunMoonAndSpoon

Dear Adrian, Hooray! I actually have a role for you in this story now. Who knew I could be so inspired by people I don't really like in real life? But being a Douchebag Musician totally suits you, and it makes perfect sense with the story. Yaaaay. I kind of sort of like you a a character now that I'm sure you're not a threat to Charlie. I should find you an equally douchey love interest, just to make sure you won't ever try to ruin my OTP again. Love, Faye xxx Dear Chick Who Doesn't Have A Name, Okay, first of all, you need a name. That's obvious. And even though you're meant to be a semi-antagonist, I kind of feel sorry for you, especially when I realised that Adrian's Crowning Moment of Douchebaggery included you as well as Grace. And I'm sorry Grace is such a bitch to you. She can hold a grudge for a very long time. And maybe she should realise this at some poing and maybe develop a bit as a character. I don't know. But yeah, I do feel sorry for you. And once you have a name, I might develop you more as a character. And I think I'll quite like you, actually. Love, Faye xxx

And the whole power trio has to see Kevin and Larry again! Admittedly Larry is just the comic touristy relief, so he's not too bad. But as for Kevin... hellooo, trauma. (Sorry Mandy & Drew.) And I'm not sure what's going to happen to Sally. So sorry in advance, Sally, because when I'm suffering writer's block I usually make someone get kidnapped. See ya in November!

Dear Kazemasa, I know you want to start a romance already with the guy who you almost consider a brother since his parents took you in. I know waiting for hot steamy gay sex can also be annoying, however you have to wait til later in the plot because its a point of conflict and I'm going to need a lot of words. Yeah I know, smut scenes can provide a lot of words too, but you need to understand it'll be worth waiting. Yeah I know there's when he looses his memory, the thing is thats not him, so please can you just wait a little longer for me to work out the kinks in that plot before you bust out your kinks on him. love, Alice Dear Tora, I'm really really sorry to lead you along like I have, but its been crucial for the plot. Shinji has to turn up else where, and I need someone to give Kazemasa the support he needs. Besides I'll make someone for you to love too if I can work everything else out. Originally I was going to have you be a monster in disguise and kill you off, but I got too attached to you to do that, because I know you'll be a great comic relief for at least a while. Anyway, I hope I can come up with someone good for you because you're a really awesome character, and I've rather grown to like you. Love, Alice

Dear LK, You're the one that started all this crazy business, and I love you for it. You have a strong belief and opinion, which is great, but you're so gullible and confused. Learn to fight back, find a backbone and use it for once! Otherwise your mother, brother, and friends are just going to keep tramping all over you to get what they want. Do they love you? That has yet to be determined, but get over it, and try to look at the big picture. Oh and, LK, you need a REAL name… Your (almost) creator Dear Varin (Veran), So you're the brother LK has looked up to all her life. You're loyal, a soldier by all rights, but stop making her feel so guilty! And I know it's been a couple years since you've seen her, but how could you not recognize your own sister? It's insulting. I feel like I should salute you or something… Your author Dear Tyra, Technically, you weren't meant to be in this story. You were just a random character for some art game that I made up one day, but you fit so perfectly… Besides, you're epic and the perfect friend to drag LK into the start of her new lie… I mean life. But thanks for being the one character whose name, history, and personality I know. You're the best! Sincerely, Your author Dear Mother, That's an odd way to start off. But seeing as you haven't told me your name, I suppose that's what it'll stay for now. You're a bit of a paradox that I can't figure out. You're LK's mom, with a short role in her past and a big one in her future, but your motives are lost on me. A bit of a fanatic is all I can guess. Help me out? Oh and as a side note, please tell me you're not planning on killing your children? Cause that might ruin my story. Suspiciously, Your Author Dear Father, Another no name character, with no personality, but a very interesting past. You play a major role in LK's upbringing, granted she hates you for it, but it's all the same to me. You started the ball rolling for the plot, and hey, she won't hate you forever. I think… Your Author Dear Best Friend, Really? Still no name? You're obviously not going to be cooperative. I know your motives, I know your goal and maybe even a bit about your feelings and your role in this plot. What I don't know, is your personality or your past. It's all fuzzy and you're too important to this book to stay that way! While I'm talking to you, I want to slide in one more thing; you're LK's BEST friend, stay that way, because I'm not in the mood to write some surprise romance. Or any romance for that matter, it just isn't my style. And it'd be…awkward. Sincerely, Your Author

Dear Miotke, Is there anyway we can figure out why your name is what it is? Also, please don't get overly emotional or romantic with Emory before it's time. It'll totally ruin the ending! Love much, Merc Dear Cress, Really, really sorry about the overboard thing. The storm wouldn't be satisfied without someone tragically getting washed overboard. Please, don't haunt the Captain - He never saw it coming either! Sincerely, Merc

Dear Sophie, Please don't be a Mary Sue. You are my one original character in my historical fiction and my narrator. I would be lying if I didn't admit there was a little bit of healthy "self-insertion" going on with you. But I really want you to be a well-rounded, complex character with realistic flaws (maybe some borrowed from myself) and a rich development and arc. Don't let me down, please. My whole story rests on you being an interesting, unique and believable character. Your Loving Creator, GF Dear Ludwig, If I really screw this up, I just want you to know I'm really sorry. I hope you will still play your music for me when I get to heaven. Ewig thein, ewig mein, ewig uns, GF

Hi Nathan, I'm so glad you want to be in my novel. Looks like it's going to be tripe, but fun tripe, which is the best kind of tripe. But would you please do me a favour and choose an age? I don't really care if you're forty or fifty or even sixty. The story will work no matter how much older than Ian you are. He'll love you even if you're one hundred. Which would sort of be... a terrible age gap but the sentiment is still there. Thanks muchly, Lilac Dear Ian, You're not supposed to be effeminate. Quit starting out like a normal person and then turning into an emotional 14 year old girl by the end of a thought, thanks. Enough already, Lilac

I would totally read a book wherein the Baron is only known as Baron by way of some weird quirk. Especially if his actual name was Baron von Fluffin. "Hi, I'm Baron von Fluffin, but please, call me Baron." 'Fluffles' is for special occasions.

Dear Eva, So are you gonna go for it or not? I kind of need to know how you feel so I can plot out the ending to this here story. Dear Beck, You need to have a legitimate reason for fighting with Eva. An "unpredictable temper" is not a valid excuse. Also, are you going to die or not? You've gotta make up your mind. Addison, Ditto. Cake or death, buddy? Cake... or deatththththhtthhh? Dear AEC, What's your real reason for being crazy buttholes? I KNOW it's not just because you love nature so much. Dear Bryce, Why did you have to be a nihilist? Don't you have any idea how much WORK this will be for me, just trying to figure out what you're going to do? It's a good thing I understand how your romantic life will work because that's the only thing keeping me from axing you. Dr. O, What happened to the fluffy, easy-to-write love story in which you were the hero?

Dear Mariko, I about start on that paper thank you very much... It will be a piece of cake. Also, unfortunately at this point in time, I leaning at your story not Marcus's. You also are not old... you are only eight years old after all. -Rasei Dear Marcus and Kotoma I surprise at you two for fighting while someone was writing. Don't fight. Marcus, you are a young man that basically spends most of your time either at the hospital, the apartment, or the library. It's also may do to the fact that you drop out of school to help run a library at age 16 and everyone in town know that, as to why you don't have a girlfriend. Also maybe it IS due to the fact you betray Kotoma to save Hime from a bad terrorist organization that wanted to do all sort of stuff to her.. Now shut up and get along until I have to make Marcus betray you, Kotoma. Rasei Kyou, dear I doubt that Izumi will be working their much longer. Her broom is necessary for her and you to survie while Mariko does what she needs to do. As to your father... all will be explain in due time. Rasei Jasime YOU ARE NOT ALLOW TO KILL JIMMY! You just need to learn to get along.

Also, if you're out there, Athnamas, I haven't heard from you yet. Feel free to turn up whenever, even if it's most of the way into the story. I'd be glad to see you. Love forever, Me.

If you want the FMC to fall for you then you really have to work on this. And yes, l know that you have no romantic interest in her, you've made made that crystal clear. But believe me, when you get out in the middle of the Outback you're going to need something to keep the plot going, and this may well be the least painful way. It's either that or a close encounter with a crocodile, your choice. Yours Halo

And I love the story. But . . . would it kill you to stop whining about stuff? Your life is hard, sure, but so is anyone else's! Shut up and start dealing with it and maybe someone would be willing to read the story. Your author, Lee Dear Scarlett, Who . . . are you? No, really. You're Eloise's best girl friend and I know NOTHING about you. There is a problem with that. You're a secondary main character—start acting like it and get a personality! Your author, Lee Dear Caleb, Dude, you're the token "best friend who female main charcter crushes on," but I can't see how she's attracted to you. Oh, that's right—it's because all you are is a name!

Because I am completely unable to :( Unfortunately, I cannot allow you both to have first person`s perspective in this yet-untitled-story, so please, just decide this yourselves somehow, have a duel or toss a coin or something... Dear Nela, please be a convicting, yet not suspicious. I need you to be a surprise at the end, so please don`t spoil this by appearing too good at the beginning. But you mustn`t appear TOO good either or you won`t be convincing. Do that for me and I promise I won`t kill you :) Dear Robert, please, be an asshole, but not too much of an asshole.

Let's get this thing written! It's been a long time coming! Just don't go wandering away halfway through the book again. Yes, I'm talking to you, Mister. Where exactly were you during the second half of the last attempt? Much Love, Your Author P.S. Naomi or Nielle or Neris or Thiene or WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS --- you are awesome, and I love you. But please, please pick a name. And stick with it. It's been ten years. You may not be the MC, but you're kind of important. Oh, and Sen -- We've been writing this for a long time. I know we've been through the start of this story in about fifty variations (not to mention the rest of it). I know you're just as tired of having a new beginning to your story as I am.

They haven't hurt you! The things you are bitter about are things you brought upon yourself! Take some responsibility, Nikolai Dear Sofija, Why do you have to be so darn creepy when I try to visualize scenes that involve you? I was terrified the entire night last night, thinking that you were laying on the floor beside my bed. Please get out of my mind. Can't wait to be done with your weird contorting limbs, Nikolai Dear Shiloh, I know that you don't want to be the hero, because you got treated like a bug on a windshield and someone destroyed your passport. But please. Pleeeeeeease (in your own words) 'grow some 'nads'. I can no longer take this whiny, childlike persona you have adopted. Will you act your age, just for the latter half of this novel? Do something for someone else for a change before I replace you. Sincerely, Nikolai Dear Mikkel, Why are you and your father and your grandfather and your great-grandfather and five trillion generations back all named the same! Was that the only word they learned in their lives? There have to be billions of other names for them to have chosen. I get it's probably a religious, cult-y type thinger.

Dear Vanessa, I think you need to plan an better idea of an escape from Zino the incubus. Without having punishment or accepting your feelings for him one way or another. You have to have courage to stand up to him when your caught by him. Dear Jack, I think you need to tell Ana the female creature who bites you the feelings you have for her. While to see where it takes you from there to see if she will respond to your feelings back to see if she loves you and wants to be with you. Dear Angeline, I know its hard that you cannot find love with someone who works for you on your team to face the government and save people i hope you find love in the scientist who you capture soon.

If you don't tell me soon enough, then I will kill you off in horribly brutish ways. Don't mess with a somewhat stressed writer on the eve of November.

Dear Duke Whatsyourface, You're the face of the evil regime in the plot but you have neither a name nor any sort of appearance. I like the fact that you're a pedo and tried to marry a 10-year-old girl to help convince the reader that you're a total creep, but otherwise you've pretty much done nothing else significant besides kind of sort of oversee the whole genetic experiment whathaveyou. Please start actually doing things. Dear Guy, OH MY GOD THROW ME A BONE HERE I know you can't turn off your ability to read minds whatsoever but please help me figure out how this novel is going to work at all when it's from YOUR perspective. Dear Rago, KEEP BEING AWESOME but we're really going to have to play up your character if we're going to take our readers' hearts and show it to them before throwing it at the ground. At the same time, though, we can't play it up *too* much if we want to catch them unawares. Dear Lucia and Jacob, oh god how do i incorporate flashback i'm not very good with novel Dear Cruce, I really really really can't wait to spill all the juicy little secrets behind your character and it's KILLING ME keeping it from all my friends until I can tell them through the novel itself. Lookin' good as my avatar this year, though!

Dear Ruby, First off, thanks for picking a name. Even a temporary one. Now I need to know something about you. I know you're sick of being stuck in a world where you have to wear a poodle skirt and smile all the time, and your only purpose in life is to marry that guy your father picked for you, but I gotta have more. Thanks. Dear Dude who jumps over the wall and runs into Ruby, Could you pick a race? I seriously don't care what it is as long as you pick something so I can describe you. Also, I need a name and the reason why you jumped the fence. Dear Ruby's Dad, You also need a name. Also, I know you're all in control and everything and you want to keep your perfect society, but it ain't going to happen. FYI. Dear Evil Organization, Details please? I know that Ruby meets Dude-who-climbs-over-the-wall, but I need a catalyst, and you're it. Need some deets! Dear Ruby's little sister, Do you exist? Because if you're getting kidnapped, I need to know. Cuz if now, I'm dropping that plot bunny off for November to use in that Other Story. Thnx.

Dear Reilly, Your gender identity makes my head hurt. In fact, it makes my head hurt almost as much as your insistence that you die to advance the plot in some mysterious way that I cannot fathom. At all. ... But I love you anyway. --WT Dear Sherwood, Are you okay with being gay or not? I can't tell. PLEASE EXPLAIN. More importantly: Of course Candice misses you exactly as much as you miss her. Did you ever imagine she wouldn't? --WT Dear Candice, I really like your mother. Please be a little nicer to her. I know you're a teenage girl and that makes it tough, but you're also a remarkably sensitive and people-savvy girl, which should make it easier. She's a sweet lady; it's not her fault that adjusting to American life is hard for her. I know you take pride in your heritage, but you might want to let her know every now and again. Also, would you mind introducing me to your father at some point? Telling me that he's "a normal American" really tells me absolutely nothing about him. Please define normal. All right, I'm done ragging on you. On another note entirely: Sherwood is doing perfectly fine. He misses you horribly, of course, but he's making it. And he's starting to figure out most of what you were trying to get him to see. --WT

Lucia - Just...please be relatable. Don't alienate everyone with your insanities (real and faked) or your disdain for showing emotion. I guess an extension of this request is please, please talk to me as much as Soren does. Soren - Don't be an insufferable lump of angst. I don't THINK you will be, but I'm hoping you don't change your mind. Other than that, you are being a wonderful character. Malchiel - You seemed to like things more when Lysander was around. If it helps, he's still around, he just isn't relevant to the story anymore and so won't be making an appearance. He still exists though! I'm glad you were so chatty before, because you're being a bit uncharacteristically quiet at the moment. Viktor - Thank you thank you thank you for coming up with another couple of dimensions to your personality! I didn't want you to be a straightforward villain, and now you aren't! Good luck dealing with Soren...you kind of deserve the crap he gives you though, to be fair. Iva - How big is your role? I know you're a psychiatrist, and I know you (deservingly) lose all your blood rather violently through your face. But beyond that? Rennie - You...seem to be doing well. Um...not much to say.

Dear Apollo, Blue, Electric, and Thor, Crank, and The Priest aka all my male characters, Thank you, thank you, thank you for finally putting your heads together and giving me an ending that works. I know it was difficult, staying up all night was not what I had in mind either (you saw me, I drank nearly 10 cups of chamomile to no effect except a lot of bathroom trips). You guys make a good team, which is excellent; let's keep the energy high and we should all get through the next month all right. Just keep up the good work RF Dear female characters (except Kass), You are a bunch of self-absorbed, lazy, gossipy, bitchy slackers. As a result, the boys pretty much got the ending sorted out without you, and one of you gets arrested as a result. What do you think about that? No, we're not changing it, it works (and besides one of the guys is going in with you, it's not like they didn't make sacrifices too). If you want any say in the story, you better get your act together. Quickly. No love (yet) RF

You know it can't be unpronounceable no matter how much you push for it, I'll happily give you a shortened version or nickname if you'll JUST BLOODY PICK ONE!

Stop being so damn passive, just because your author is. That's not your role in the story. ~Sharpknife Dear Lauriana, I miss you, I feel like you're never around. We need to get together for a date so I don't totally forget who you are. ~Sharpknife Dear Skye, ... I keep thinking of *other* characters when I try to picture you. Why don't you exist yet? It's been forever. ~Sharpknife Dear Aevina, Work on your backstory, would you, dear? I'd really appreciate it. Actually, it's more like I need information on your people and their history, not yours. I know your history -- it's just floating nebulously in a void of very, very 2D background. ~Sharpknife Dear Revyn, So... do you want to die? Or what? Not even kidding. There's enough plot-line to go either way. Sort of. See, you haven't had a the Moral Horizon Event, so... I would feel kind of bad about it. But not killing you would be awfully nothing-bad-ever-really-happens-to-main-characters-esqe. ~Sharpknife

And I'm sorry, but just slipping a name to me is just not good enough. I've got ten days to learn who you are before I have to start, do you understand that? Let me in, I'll try to do you justice, I promise. Come on, I'm going to work soon and by the time I get home, I want at least 85% of your personality, no matter how sketchy it is. I want to know who you are, so tell me, or you're in big trouble. Love, Tre. Dear all other characters, I need you to sort your lives out and get into my head please.

Dear 'Head of Withdrawals Team' as you've come to be known, Give me something! A name, a mental image, some kind of personality that I can use to drive the plot forward just a little bit... just anything. You're supposed to be one of the main antagonists in this novel and right now you're as flat and lifeless as a beach ball caught under a Hummer. - Rick Dear George Penrose, You're my main character and I'm beginning to really like the potential you're showing. You're a tortured soul, filled with empathy but trapped in a hopeless system. However, I still can't summon up an image of you in my mind.

He has the second largest part, I'll give you that. But Eitan is not there so you can be lazy. Eitan is there to make you become more cold and heartless, and then people realize how much you care. SO. DON'T BE LAZY. I have to write from your POV, so I don't need a lazy character. ~Sparkie Dear whole novel, Don't die before you're begun. ~Sparkie Dear Eitan, Yes. I get it. YOU LOVE AVELYN. Well, it wouldn't be a very good story if I just made you two fall in love in the first chapter, would it? I have written love stuff before. Ya'll are competion for Ava and Kevin and I layed them aside for you this month. I neglected them forever, and now I am again. And here you are being a brat! You should be grateful!!!! I have done much for you. Sweep Avelyn off her feet. Kevin did it. YOU CAN. No, I'm not comparing you. I'm showing you how important it is to be your own person.

But all I have for you is that you're vain, materialistic, and enjoy the perks of being a corporate assassin. You need some redeeming qualities, otherwise no one--especially not Brennan--will like you. And I really don't want to go with the cliche: He's like that because of some traumatic event in his past. So, please. Do something good. Maybe you like kittens or bake cupcakes for the underprivileged. Hoping for more details, Your Maker.

Ricky, I had this exact same conversation with your father in July. I swear it's a hereditary trait. Please STOP trying to take over a story that isn't about you. I've just written two novels about you, for god's sake. Isn't that enough? And I'll write the third part of your trilogy next July, probably. Can't you hold on until then? You are three years old in this novel.You are not an important character. Please let another generation have the limelight for once. I know your parents don't set a very good example, being so badass all the time, but please just try. I know there's that breif scene with June's seeing-the-future thing but that's barely a fraction of a whole scene. I don't even know if it'll make it into the final draft. (I'm talking as if I'm ever going to have a final draft. xD lol.) But please wait patiently until July and then you can be my main character again. I promise. Also, if you could possibly give me some ideas for the next book rather than just going over and over the same scenes I've already done, that would be preferable. Also, plot-related scenes would be preferable to sex scenes. THANKS. Love, Faye xxx

Also, I envy your musical genius, but when it comes to most other things you really are remarkably stupid. Wise up, Phil Your Sophie Dear Watson (resists temptation to say "Elementary..."), I want to sit in your kitchen and listen to Elvis Presley with your crazy dad. I know you wish you had a mother, but you're lucky at least to have him - don't take him for granted so much. Oh, and I love how old-fashioned you are, but I do kind of get why people get annoyed by the fact that you talk like someone from Downton Abbey. That's not to say you should stop being eccentric, though, because there really would be no story without your eccentric-ness Sincerely Sophie Dear Ernie, I really don't know what goes on in your head, and I really don't think I want to know. But you intrigue me. Yours ever Sophie Dear Maeve, I hope that at some point you overcome all your uncertainties and decide what you want out of life.

Renae Dear Elah, Thank you for being someone very easy to work with, unlike some that I could name. It's quite refreshing to have a character that doesn't make me fight them to get information out of them.

Dear Issac: Please, please, PLEASE don't go all soft on me. You're supposed to be the "bad boy" leading the fallen gods and their armies! I can't have you doing that if you're going to be up all night brooding. You're not exactly known for doing well when exausted. Begging for mercy, Rift Dear Andre: Please don't fall for the girl. Issac kinda needs you. Peace, Rift Dear FMC: Please don't let me regret giving you a choice of names. I though we went over why the others won't work. Sorry, Rift Dear Ari: What the heck are you doing in this revision? You disappeared four revisions ago! Where is there supposed to be room for you!? Signed, A very confused Rift Fenrir: Yes, I know who are are, and what the mythos say you are destined to do. But that doesn't give you permission to eat Issac. He's not even from your Pantheon. Love, Rift

Dear Toast, Look, I know you've gone through a lot of progression since you first came into being. Going from a superhero to a paranormal investigator has to be kind of shocking, and as such, I am willing to let the name slide...despite of how much it smacks of self-insertion. But, dude, seriously? A bowler? The story is set in the modern day, man, no one wears a bowler. I know you want to have a hat, but why did it have to be a bowler? Head-scratchingly yours, Toastburner B PS: Despite the name, I do intend for you to survive this book. Dear Meredith, Nice to see you again. I know you were original in the book I wrote for the 2008 Nanowrimo, but let's face it: I've been thinking about that series for 3 years now, and I just haven't been able to to hammer it out. But, hey, as it turns out I still need an FBI agent for this book, and you fit the bill better than anyone else in the other story does. Unfortunately, I might have to change your name. Meredith and Memphis are just too similar, and I already have something planned with Memphis's name. Yes, I know you came first, but her name just fits her better, so you have to change yours, sorry. On the bright side, you are going to live much longer in this book than you did in the other one. Bigger part, too. So changing your name is small price to pay for that...right? So let me know when you have a new one. Best Regards, Toastburner B Dear Memphis, Man, you are persistent. You've been trying to elbow your way into every story idea I've had since "Wayward" failed last year. Alright, you win: you are in this story, and you even get a hellhound you call Graceland to keep you company. Memphis and Graceland...see what I did there? ...Right. Now, what I haven't figured out is how big of role you are going to have in the story. Are you going to be part of the Toast's posse, or are you going to be that shadow force that only shows up now and then? If we could have this figured out in the next 8 days, that would be great. Eagerly Awaiting Your Reply, Toastburner B Dear Meredith's Partner, Look, man...I know it sucks to be written only so you can die a horrible death somewhere along the line, but someone has to do it. In the meanwhile, I need you to be a likable character. It won't have the same punch when you die if no one cares. That said, you need a name, and I'm coming up blank. I know you want to be Meri's partner from the other book she was in, but I have plans for him later, so you can't be. Work with me on this, and I'll do my best to see that you go out in high style. My Condolences in Advance, Toastburner B

Dear Lionel: You're an insanely wealthy capitalist and philantropist. You died from what looks like complications from Alzheimer's disease. Your death means the disclosure of certain documents in your personal file that will threaten to tear the family apart by putting the lives of your children at risk, including the illegitimate daughter that you had with your former caregiver from the Philippines. Now please be more interesting. And stay dead. Thanks, Stella ---------- Dear Clive: Just because you died in 1992 during a trip to Manila doesn't mean you get to be more interesting than Lionel. Also, for the sake of your son and the rest of my novel, please stay dead. Thanks, Stella ----------- Dear Veronica, Will, Kalani, Linus, and everyone else from this year's novel, Could you all please wait until Halloween, at least?

Dear Kiana, Can you please try not to sound so Debbie Downer-ish? You're supposed to be upbeat (at least for a while)! And will you please let me know if you liked Derek pre-novel? Right now, you're kind of giving me mixed signals. Dear Derek, This last month has made me like you so much more! Let's continue this trend. Don't be too horribly cold to Chris or Kiana's advances, okay? And please... don't turn into a jerk after you betray everyone who loves you. Dear Christiana, Hooray for you, finally getting some personality and story adjustments. You'll probably end up being my favorite. Please be careful not to make everyone hate you TOO much at the beginning, though, okay? Snarky, snobby comments are good, but only to a certain extent. By the way, sorry about your totally screwed up parents. And your mansion. And your love interest. Yeah... Dear Ari, Will you please decide what you look like? I got the tan and blue-eyed part, but hair color and style would be much appreciated, as well as some inkling about your fashion sense. Oh, and could you tell me who your research partners are? And how many of them there are? Because you're the only villain named so far... Oh and sorry about Book Two... Dear Sonya, Don't be unpleasant for no reason. Or, just give me a good reason and you can be unpleasant all you want. Just choose one and get back to me. Dear Cain, Please be everything I want you to be without being annoying. And if you want to tell me a little more about what you were trying to accomplish with the POH project, feel free to elaborate anytime.

I do appreciate you saving the life of the President of the United States (as does he, I'm sure) but can't we find out who that third girl was in the closet with Character? Character, I do hope you get a name soon because this 'man with no name' schtick got old long ago. Sorry, I can't resist a thread like this.

I also need more adjectives for you, you keep saying everything's awesome in a sarcastic way. -Liz Dear Mary, Thank you for letting my vent all the things I'm overly enthusiastic about through you. You rock :) -Liz Dear Daphne, Thank you for letting my analytic side shine through, I needed someone to be the brains of this operation and I knew this person wasn't going to be me! Also thank you for making some of your ideas seem like they are my own and boasting my self-esteem, I needed that. -Liz Dear Roxs, You are a character made up of all my and my irl friends funny quirks that I love yet still find somewhat annoying. Your a fun character to write. Also your name isn't really working for me anymore, I think you need a new one, one that is really long but has a really fun short nickname. -Liz

I'd never do anything to make you look awful, aside from the metal implanted in your skin. But you understand that the metal is what's keeping you alive right? Don't worry, when I write you up, you'll be fine! Allie. ---- Dear MMC, Please please please tell me who you are! Yüyi has told me almost everything, including what you did to her, but even she doesn't remember who you are. Why haven't you even told me your name? I don't even know what you look like. Please come out of hiding before November 1st. And bring some friends. I need other characters too! Allie.

Dear John, Why did you do that? I really didn't need to know how your story ended yet, I didn't even ASK you, butcha still told me. During my favorite song too, so now I'll have bad associations .By the way, that was a really stupid decision. Not the telling me the end of the story part, but the part before that. Really, the part that came before the first chapter. I know it shapes a lot of the story (at least between you and Cassie) but still, man. Still. Not cool. Dear Cassie, Would you stop being such a rebellious little rebel and ask for some help for once? I hate that kind of character, but here you are- and this is NOT something you can do on your own. You only have picture books to guide you for crying out loud... Dear Keith: I don't like you and you deserve everything you're getting. I know that's not necessarily fair, and I know you aren't really the 'villain', but as far as villainous characters in this story go, you're pretty darn close. I just want to know one thing- what did you do with him? I just want to know if there's a chance he's still alive. Ya jerkface. Sincerely, Jennie.

You are a pretty cool character though, even if you are a flirt. From, well.. Me. Dear Cain I'm sorry!!! I didn't want to kill you! But, it was important! Otherwise Logan wouldn't have been able to accept that it was Jestelle! I'm sorry! But, on the bright side, you get to be my MC for next year! Though...that is because Logan gets kidnapped... From, your author Dear Jestelle Your an evil, sadistic, murderous bitch. And a really good villain. Sorry about you dying, only really I'm not. From, your author Dear Nera I can't wait to write your story!! You'll have to be patient, Logan and Cain have a few for them first. From, your author Dear Toria Gahh!!

Dear Sabrina, Please cut your ex-boyfriend some slack. It's not HIS fault he's a zombie. Also, if you could tell me your last name, I'd appreciate it. Dear Levi, Maybe if you'd stop eating Sabrina's friends and were a little less drunk all the time, she'd take you back. Also? This bromance between you and Zachariah? Not gonna work out. Plus, you already HAVE a love interest. You know, Sabrina? Your ex-girlfriend whom you love and can't remember most of the time because you're perma-drunk? Dear Zachariah, Stop being a douche, and stop flirting with Levi. I know he's adorable, and I know you'd much rather he end up with you than Sabrina, but that won't further the plot, dammit. Dear Evangeline, Stop being a bitch, kthx. Dear Unnamed female character, I'd really appreciate if you would tell me what your name was, and if you'd stop insisting that Evangeline and Sabrina should get together. I don't need a character who's only purpose is to ship my two female MCs.

I will figure out what the hell I'm doing. Dear Oliver, Sorry. Unlike Jordan... looks like you may or may not be heading to the cutting board. I can't decide if the servant thing works anymore.

Dear Eloise, I think I like you, but now I can't use that name for any child I may have in the (hopefully) distant future. Also, are you sure Kevin is your stepfather? I really don't want this to turn into a half-blood story. Can your biological dad be dead or gay or something? He just has to be human, really. Dear Reid, You're nice, smart, and human but why do you have to be 25? Eloise is sixteen! Oops, you're not supposed to know that. You think she's fourteen and that's actually worse. Also, do you really want to know the truth about Master Walton and who Eloise really is? Knowing could get you killed and I like you too much to kill you. It would cause me too much pain. Dear Ashley, Are you sure your name is Ashely? I realize you're supposed to be from an old-fashioned warlock clan but come on. You're a BOY. Surely your parents aren't that cruel. Then again, they sent you off to a boarding school. Maybe they are that terrible. Dear Jonathan, Go away. I know you're the best-looking character I have but you're supposed to be in and out within the first chapter. You may be the younger than Reid and less annoying than Ashley but you love Pagie (not that the public will know that). Please, don't try to join Master Walton's coven. That would suck. Dear Master Walton, First name? Dear Toots, You're a ghost, aren't you? Dear Hannah, Finally, somebody some-what normal. I mean, you can see Toots, but I'm not even sure if she's a ghost yet. She's just kind of there.

Dear Rin, Please to do something sooner or later. If you don't bring me a subplot before November, I will be forced to give you one by dropping a skyscraper on your head. Dear Souichi, See above, but substitute "giant scaly thing" for "skyscraper." Dear Naomi, "Crazed henchwoman" and "wacky comic character" are not mutually exclusive. "Threatening villain" and "goofy friend who spearheads adventures and sniffs glue" are. Please to learn the distinction. Furthermore, please to remember that this novel is set in Japan and that "Worn" is no Japanese surname I've ever heard. Dear Quirky Miniboss Squad, Please stop proliferating. You are spilling your spawn all over the main plot, and my heroes have vanished under a roiling mass of villains. If you must continue replicating, please find additional personalities. If you do not develop additional personalities, I will make you into a hive mind and blow 90% of you up. Addendum to the above: Dear Jelly, You have seven chapters in which to develop a personality before you are fish food. If you take advantage of these chapters, I may choose to mash Honey or Curry instead. If not, enjoy your death. Dear Yuuko Prime, Your evil plan is not as intelligent as you think it is. Fortunately for you, your alternate self is not as intelligent as you think she is, so you'll probably be fine. Dear Chieko, "Yuuko's love interest" is not a personality type. Dear Ba'alat Gebal, STOP BEING STEREOTYPICAL AND DERIVATIVE. EVEN THOUGH YOUR CHARACTERIZATION IS BASED ON BEING DERIVATIVE, I WILL NOT HAVE BORING ABOMINATIONS IN THIS NOVEL. IF YOU PERSIST IN BEING BORING, I WILL GIVE YOU TENTACLES AND RENAME YOU CTHULHU. (ALSO, PLEASE TO STOP SPEAKING IN CAPS LOCK. YOU ARE NOT DEATH.)

Dear Dr. Holland Thorn, Stop being such a jerk to your poor little intern. Just because you're a famous neurosurgeon and he's two days out of medical school doesn't mean you're better than him. Oh wait. It does. But still. Play nice. and also.... don't turn out like House. I thought of you way before I even knew House existed. But for some reason I decided that now would be a good time to start watching House. That was a terrible idea. But come on, Holly No lawsuits. At least for a while. Try not to kill anybody. especially your intern. because you'll need him later and if he's not there then you're going to be royally screwed. Love, Kestrel PS. your name maks me smile. Holland Thorn Holly Thorn. you had such clever parents. as you will inevitably say at multiple points through the novel "yes, yes, my name is Holly Thorn. My parents thought it was funny as hell. -but unless you want this scalpel shoved through your temple, you better shut the hell up-" (that last part would most likely be directed to her intern. She just loves her intern. So much. He asks personal questions. And not to mention the fact that he's utterly incompetent.) PS. I know you put your arm through a glass door. Please tell me why. It will severely impair your ability to preform delicate neurosurgery. That's kind of a big deal. At least give me the reason why you did it. Were you trying to avoid WOAH PLOT BUNNY. gotta write that down.

Dear All Characters It's been nearly a year. I know. And we're going to have to spend the next seven days cramming in all that catching up. I know, I know. You have stuff to do. Hell, I have tons of work to do! But please, please, don't abandon me this year. I really want to finish up your story. And okay, the end parts need ironing out, but I have the main plot points that you told me last year, so if we could carry on in the same vein, that would be great. Although if you disappear in the middle of December and don't appear again until next November I shall be very sad. Predominantly because I feel if I a) finish you this Novvember and b) start editing you in the spring, without you all, you'd all be rather cheesed off with me.

Dear Caleb, Please tell me who the heck you are, what you're personality is and what your role in the novel is going to be. I need you to be a strong enough character to constantly be pushing Piper to her limits, but I don't want you to turn out anything like Peeta or Gale from the Hunger Games, if that makes sense. Oh, and are you or are you not Piper's love interest? If not in this novel, maybe later in the trilogy? I kinda have an inkling as to what you look like, but I have no idea what you're good at or what you're like around people. I really don't want to cut you out of the story. Piper needs someone to push her and someone to rely on, despite her fervent protests. --HDMrox Dear Piper, I'm conflicted about the nature of your heritage. I know for sure that your father is alive and is a peripheral figure your entire life, but is your mother the Empress or not? And please don't tell me you're going to pull a Luke Skywalker on me. That cliche's been used too many times. I've decided. The Empress isn't your mother, but the assassin who tries to kill you multiple times might be. Then again, that would mean you're still pulling a Luke Skywalker. Dammit. Be grateful that you're the most fleshed-out character of the lot. Eh. At least I have a clue as to what your personality is, unlike SOMEBODY (I'm looking at you, Caleb :/) --HDMrox Dear the Empress, Give me a freaking name already. I know what your role in the story is, but I have nothing substantial on your personality, past, traits -- I only know that you're the person Piper needs to defeat by the end of the trilogy. And please, don't make me pull a Luke Skywalker on Piper because you just so happen to be her mother. Please no. Help me, please! (go talk to Caleb, or something. Maybe the pair of you can come up with some personalities) --HDMrox Dear Unnamed Assasin #1, You're a candidate for being Piper's mother. If you're her mother, I pretty much know the events leading up to Piper's birth. However, I'm not sure what happened to make you suddenly defect to the Empire and abandon your only child to your ex-lover WHO PLAYED AN INTEGRAL PART IN YOUR DEFECTION. Eh. Looking forward to writing that :) In all seriousness, are you going to be one of the Imperialist agents -- PLOT BUNNY -- who go after Piper during her quest? You know, the one where she goes after the Stone of Avalon? Because if you are, I have a really awesome, dramatic epic reveal scene. That ends in you being murdered by Piper/Caleb. heheheheh. You're my favourite character to write so far. Be honoured :P --HDMrox Dear Piper's father, Get a name. And decide on a personality, already. You can't be an Alliance soldier who unknowingly mentored Piper and a drunk hermit at the same time. --HDMrox Dear All Minor and Secondary Characters, You and me are going to have a serious talk. I need to start developing more of you. --HDMrox (all in all, looking forward to developing all of you! EXCEPT YOU, CALEB. I NEED TO FIT YOU A PERSONALITY BY THE END OF THE DAY OR I'LL NEVER FINISH THE SNOWFLAKE DESIGN FOR THIS NOVEL

But please help me to understand what it feels like when you use your Powers, because you haven't told me in one novel already and I NEED that information for next month! Thanks! Love, Lauren Dear Edward, Okay. So I really need you to tell me how you really feel about Anna because, seriously, these dreams you're giving me with ideas? Not. Working. I need to hear it from YOU, not my subconcious. Oh, and don't be too hard on Jasper; he was just doing what he was told. Love, Lauren Dear Elena, Finally, you get the role in the story that you deserve! You were mentioned way too little for my liking last year and now you're one of Anna's teachers. Yay you! But don't forget about Nathaniel; he's waiting for you in book 8 or something stupid like that. Whatever, I'm still planning that one out. Love and hugs, Lauren Dear Jacob, GOD, WHY ARE YOU SO NICE?! GET A BACKBONE AND SHOUT AT SOMEONE! IT RELIEVES STRESS! Lauren Dear Alexa, Sorry, but I've decided you're being killed off in 2013. It's nothing personal. But rest assured that the others will miss your quirky hair, Lauren Dear Jasper, Don't tell the others, but you're one of my favourites. Seriously, you're so awesome and Anna is missing out. Just telling you to watch out for Ally; she's pret-ty damn nasty in the end. Love, Lauren Finally, dear Becca, God, you're a nasty, nasty vampire!

Dear Characters (yes, all of you), Oh, you guys are always my downfall. I always have tons of exciting and interesting stuff for you to do, but you're all like stick figure zombies while you're doing them. And, if you're not stick figure zombies, you're spewing inappropriately dramatic monologues. I need you to be like real people. Yes, I know some of this is on me (okay, all of it). But the thing is, I'm not a people person. Social interactions are awkward for me. I don't know what "normal" is (other than "not me"). It's really no wonder that I can't make you feel like normal people. So . . . I promise I will try really, REALLY hard to make you real. I've already done more prep work for this novel than any others I've written. And yes, the majority of that has been plot-related, but I've been working on you guys too. So, you're already better off than all my previous characters have been. In return, YOU have to promise to give me something to work with. Come alive for me. Show me how the normal people do it, and maybe I can even learn something from you. Sincerely, Your Author

Dear Phoenix Stay crazy. You've been doing pretty well as the remorseless villain up until now, but you never know where the story will take you. Your pleased author Dear Lillian How the hell did you find Aella and get past Pax? Seriously, I need a reason and method, and I need one now. Your confused author Dear Immelman Stop being creepy and hitting on all the girls. Seriously, you're supposed to be subtle about it. Your angry author Dear Cole You are dead. Dead as a doornail. I've already given the prologue to you and let your wife live, so can you stop trying to hijack the story. Please? Your perplexed author Dear Aella You were supposed to be an action girl, and now you just spend the whole story conked out in Pax's temple. What happened? I mean, I'm grateful you're not trying to steal your son's spotlight like your husband, but you were supposed to have at least some presence. Now you're just a MacGuffin, and I'm very sorry for it. Your apologetic author.

Dear Nick, You... weren't really meant to exist, you know? I just needed another narrator who would be available to write the sociological texts that the book occasionally cites. I know it's good to realize that the researcher is an individual too, and that your biases will affect how your essays are written but... do I really need all this backstory about you? You're kind of hogging the spotlight, man. Maybe I'll write some stuff about you later, but this NaNo? This is Zane and Thomas. They've been waiting for over a year now, come on. Dear Zane and Thomas, Um, where are you, again?

Will you please decide if you want to "die" at the end and join your dad in forever glowy happiness or stay to keep your people safe? You can't do both ya know.

Dear Cadwyn: No. I don't need any more characters spawning plot bunnies! You're interesting, you really are! But I just -can't- focus on you and Samuel's story! Sorry, maybe later. Serena. Dear Rhiannon. Ok, so maybe you are allowed to moon quietly over Rey. But will you stop being so random? Besides, Rey's not really going to make an appearance in my NaNo, alright? There. Settled. Serena Dear Elric and Robert. Ok. I know this is a setting where family trees and family ties are important. But stop spamming family members! 7 siblings, Elric? What! I didn't need to know that. Instead, you need to tell me more about where you've been, and what you've been up to. I've got some wonderful moments and scenes, but nothing in between. Robert, I don't mind you having three brothers. Hey, Eric (he needs a new name, by the way, since he and Elric have too similar names) might even make an appearance, I haven't decided yet. But I don't need a full, 5 generation family tree! That qualifies as too much information. (Or at least not the right kind of information.) Beyond that, alright, you two are doing ok. Thanks. Serena. Dear Deyrn: So you had to pick a name I can't remember how to spell. I actually like how it sounds, though, so you're forgiven. When I said you couldn't be all big and fierce, that -wasn't- a cue to retreat into a ball! I need to know some basic things about you, beyond the fact that you're Elric's older sister. So start being loud again. You just have to remember that plot kind of requires you to be physically frail, ok? Please start talking again. Serena.

You're supposed to be the reincarnation of Thor, not some ridiculous fangirl, no pun intended. No love, Key Dear Johnny, Please be more vocal about what you want me to write about, are you or aren't you Odin?

Other than that, I have no real complaints to level against you, in fact I want to say thank you for being reasonable. Strong feelings of friendship, Key

Dear Dr. Talcott, Okay. I don't get you. I get your purpose in the story. You're there to keep tabs on Jennifer, make sure there are no unusual side effects to her procedure, and occasionally steer her back in the "right" (that is, wrong) direction if it seems she's getting too close to the truth . . . with drugs, if necessary. Pretty straightforward. And you're only in about 3 scenes, 4 tops. The thing is . . . at least one of those scenes is going to be from the director's point of view, not Jennifer's. So, I kind of need to know a little more than just what Jennifer sees -- her friendly psychiatrist that she's been going to for over two years -- and figure out what it is that makes you tick. Are you just in it for the money? Are they blackmailing you? Or do you honestly believe you're doing the right thing? I don't know, I think I may already have too many other characters on the wrong side who believe they're doing the right thing, so we're going to have to come up with some kind of unsavory reason for you to be in total breach of your oath as a doctor. Not to mention, what's your history? How did these government people find you and decide to assign you this position? Talk to me. You're my fuzziest character right now. Sincerely, Your Author

So what he understands your poetry, so what he laughs at your jokes, so what he's made music for your best friend that sets you weeping? He's still an old man, and he's still going to do everything all the other old men have done! You really, really want that? Then get him the Vice Kapellmeister job you know is opening up. If you can.

Dear Nadia, Stop trying to give yourself the nickname of Bethany, it's boring and stuffy for such a weird character. Also stop trying to get out of my head and onto paper, it's not quite November yet. Can you please let me know a couple of things though 1) why are you so contradictory? Seriously it's like you're two people. 2) What happened in your past to make it so hard for you to take people at face value? I'm looking through the notes and there's nothing about this but then BAMF! - you're a cynical person who loves people strongly. 3) stop trying to beat up and kill all the other characters! They're necessary. I can't write 50,000 words when half the characters die before the first chapter's over. Behave! Possibly love, more likely headdesk Nicole Dear Einar, I'm happy that you like you're new name and how you look. Please please please though, tell me what happened to you other than, 'my brothers are dicks and betrayed my entire pride.' A few more redeeming qualities are also necessary besides 'I look amazing shirtless and wet', Nadia has to fall for you for more than the things you do to help her. That isn't a healthy relationship and this needs to be a healthy relationship. Mostly love, Nicole. Dear Other Characters, Please tell me who you are, what you look like, what you do. I have all these spots to fill but only vaguely person shaped holes in my imagination. Are there even any females in with this bunch?! Exasperated Nicole

charleenlynette — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:59:37 +0300

Dear Tori, Well, now that I have my psychiatrist somewhat figured out, you have been upgraded (downgraded?) to "Fuzziest Character." No, you're not in the novel much -- only one scene for sure -- but you're Jennifer's closest friend. And I need that to be real, even if we never see you again once the action gets started. See the thing is . . . you're best friends because you're so similar, you understand each other. But one of the things you have in common is that you're quiet, introverted women. That reserved nature is going to make it pretty unlikely for you to jump into the thick of things after Mitch shows up and the two of them run off to do their digging. But, is it that I've already written you off as only a one-scene-character that's keeping us apart? I'm sorry if it is, but I just don't think you'll work in the midst of all the action. And, doesn't the fact that I want to know about you DESPITE the fact that another author might dismiss you as a mere walk-on role PROVE that you're still important? I know it's a sucky situation, and I'll see what I can do. I could try working in a phone call at some point. Maybe a second scene where you're physically there, I just don't see how it would fit. I really don't want to promise anything. But I'd really appreciate a little faith here. Give me something to work with. How did you two even meet? I know you're the sister of one of Jennifer's co-workers, but given that neither of you is especially social, I'm a little confused as to what situation would have brought the two of you together. And what is it that you do, when you're not having brunch with Jennifer? Any little bit of information would be great. Seriously, anything. Sincerely, Your Author

Dear Lyrine, I'm sorry everyone thinks you're insane. I'm sorry that because of this you have no relationship with your son. And I'm sorry that the moment the spirits who torment you are vanquished kinda comes after your death. While this seems unreasonably harsh I'm sure, it gave me an antagonist in an otherwise tepid plot, so I really am grateful. Dear Rune, You can't have any romantic interests this book. Or the next one. I need you for other stuff, like caring what happens to your little sister even though she basically screwed up your entire life. I abuse your good will. See you on Tuesday, Open

Also i know we both hate you and Leith being in denial but it has to happen, I'll try to set you up though, yeah? Dear Leith, Just move your hot ass to Denver now. I know you want to stay with your fiancé but she's a jerk. Just get your head out of the sand and give me a personality other than 'hot best friend of main character who wants to be a lawyer', that won't do… Dear Leith's fiancé, I don't know where you came from and I don't care, but magic yourself an identity before Nov 1. That's an order...stupid weed character…*mutters* Dear Alcy, God i am so sorry. We both know 'Surrogate' only exists because of your suicide but I'm really sorry... You will be freaking epic for the few chapters and flashbacks you will be in. I honestly can't believe out of all my characters you have the best personality and you die in the second damn chapter! Dear Indigo, If you continue to manipulate me and your parents I will have to ground you. I will also take Simba away from you. Oh no, please don't cry...sorry... Dear James, I hate you and I wish I could kill you off but you understand my predicament don't you? No you, no story. *glares* Dear Ria, Hey, sorry Temper doesn't like you hun, but that's cause he doesn't swing that way...you should totally go join IH! Dear members of IH (they're an indie band! :D) and everyone else, I know your all side characters but get your act together and give me personalities...please?

Dear MC, You were hired to play a parody of one of my favorite characters in a dark, screwball comedy. Now I don't mind that the plot changed to something with a little more depth and intensity, but since your character was essentially comic relief, I let it pass. But now it's time for you to remember your place. It's not for you to be as nuanced and as subtle as you are in my head right now. You aren't supposed to gain any character development until much, much later in the production. You are screwing with the planning process for this novel and you need to stop it before I do something more drastic about it. At the end of the day, you are still spoiled, eccentric and harmless. Get with the program, Love, Me.

It's quite chilly and you'll catch a cold). So, why won't you, one of my more significant characters, tell me who you are? And don't think I don't see you hiding in the shadows whenever I'm working.

You're not even an actress like Kesley or Zelly... I don't even know why you should even deserve to end up with someone. Dear Marcus (if that is your name), You get Crystal.

Also, please let me know what event makes you rebel. Please and thank you. Dear Denver, Thank you for your communication about yourself. I have a very firm picture of you in my head, and even on paper. I now need to know about your past and surroundings, parents, people in the outsiders, and more about the doomed. Dear Liliana, I really did not need a princess. I suppose you can stay though. What's a royal family without a princess? *sighs* Dear Maddox, I thought you would be more happy about a sex scene with Karina. You're a guy for pete's sake, not every guy in "world" is lucky enough to be able to have sex with their gf/bf like you. You get to have sex in a CASTLE! Stop whining about the rooms being too girly. I'll even make a sexy scene in the woods or something if it makes you happy cause I think you're going to be dead by the end of the story. Just talk to me about the Rebels.

Dear Lucy, I know you're frustrated that you're fifteen years old and would probably wear size 32-A bra in today's society, not to mention you're 5'10'' and that is unnaturally tall, even for a man. (Thank God you died nearly two hundred years ago), but, it all works out - because I'm having you enlist in the Texas Army - you'll still need to bind your boobs, but, I've secured some good tape for that. Your father keeps a shotgun in the trunk at his bed. He left a year ago to go fight - just go grab that. And wear a hat. And cut your hair. And you should thank me that I'm not putting you under Davy Crockett's command - because this way - you won't be at the Alamo..where, well, you'll find out. Now now, don't look so frightened. Oh, what's that? You aren't frightened? Not in the least? I forgot - you're Scotch- Irish, you're not afraid of anything. Well, I guess that settles that. Oh, and do try to control the PMS - wouldn't want the other men getting suspicious. They're already going to have a tough time not making fun of how skinny your legs are. Good luck. The Author Dear Captain George Collingsworth, I do hope that you and I will get along quite nicely. From what I've read - you are very admirable. Tell Philip I said "Hello" and I will be seeing you two in a few days! The Author Dear Aulden, I know you miss Georgia now that war has broken out. But, don't worry son, you'll have a real good time with this! And I promise not to kill you off - maybe. Well, you made the Preface , so I'm sure you're fine. I'd watch out for wounds...though....muskets and shotguns can be nasty things... The Author Dear Santa Anna, Go to Hell. The Author, Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and two hundred very pissed off and dead Texas soldiers.

You are such a cute guy and I am glad she finally gets to have a great friend who likes her for who she is! But seriously dude take her out more often so I can actually think! How about a breakfast date? Tomorrow? That would be wonderful! Thanks and I am so excited for you to see what a very special girl Melissa is! :) ~Bailey

Dear Chick Without A Name, I shall continue to call you that until you get a name, ok? So, um, I basically know nothing about you except for the fact that Grace doesn't like you, and that doesn't really tell me much because Grace doesn't really like anyone. So a bit more information about you would be nice. Maybe more of a personality or even just what you look like. Thaaaaaanks. Love, Faye.

Dear Bad guy, Do you have a name yet? or are you just throwing random ones at me to throw me off the trail. Also, why are you doing what you do? 'For shits and giggles' doesn't feel like a worthy motive to me. Also why are you being evil? i refuse to believe you just jumped up when day and decided to do it. WHO ARE YOU?!?! Lainy. Dear Taki and Lilith... and Kip and Kyla and all the rest of you, PLEASE stop going off and having random adventures of your own in my head. While they are very enjoyable they have absolutely nothing to do with moving the plot along and really don't fit in anywhere. Also, stop making out. This isn't a mills and boon story. There's a kingdom to saved from the bad guy. Although i don't really know why or what he's exactly doing so maybe its my bad your not focusing on the important things. Love, Lainy.

Dear Jody, Please can you ask your fellow main's to get their personal biographies in to me by tomorrow night. Yes I know I'm getting one arrested, killing another, and letting the third think she's survived the crash only to then kill her in an emotionally charged way, but still. Deadlines Jody, deadlines. And Flynn, dear troubled, reclusive Flynn. Who the heck are you??

Dear Penny, Hi! I can't wait to meet you! I hope that I get to know you well, because right now I don't really know much about who you are. Tell me about yourself. Do you eat anchovies on your pizza? Have you ever been to the ocean? What's your favourite colour? Also, I hate to say it, but you are eventually going to have to fall for Peter. Otherwise it's not an interesting story. I give you the freedom to kick his ass in earlier chapters, but you've got to kiss it better at some point. Kapeesh? See ya on the other side of this weekend, -Sue

Dear Victoria, Please give me more reason to include your brother in this. No really. I understand you need him to explain things but can we not just make him a plot point? I'd really like to have him provide something aside from "I am here to explain..." If you can't, I may just have to cull him. So if you'd like to see him, please please PLEASE get him to talk to me and let me in on what makes him so freaking special. Sincerely... me. Dear Nathan, Would you not be such a wimp? I get that you're not really a wimp, but why are you trying to change your parents' personalities on me? Conflict, man, conflict. You know, that whole lifeblood thing to a novel? If your parents get involved that rather destroys the chemistry you and Victoria are supposed to have. And tell me again why Dan gets along with you? Yours truly... Frustrated. Dear Dan, We really have to talk about this whole Council idea. If you bring down the Council on Victoria, I have to make her go into hiding which means running away from her dads. And since when do you have enough clout to do this anyway? Also, please let me in on why you aren't shunning Nathan. Would be ever so helpful. Always, Author.

Dear Bulgarelli, Okay, ladydog, time to talk turkey with me. Right now, you're a pervy woman married to a boy who likes boys, and you two bagging Pietro when he's run out of money so he can be the meat in the sandiwch is seriously skeeving me out. Okay, so, since he's appeasing both y'all's lusts, it makes sense that his family...all four of them...are living in the house with you. You feel guilty, right? And Signor B., he's got plenty of the old spondulix, so no harm done there..but have you asked yourself what goes on while you're out singing? Honestly, I can't see you falling in love with this spoiled brat of a poet. You know he's boinking you and letting Signor boink him for the money and the family. He doesn't love you. You love him? Why? His poetry is, yes, near perfect. But tell me, just 'twixt us girls, what are you in love with about this goof? Smoochings, Mudge

Yes, I know you're the main character (and I know that you know, you've been pretty clear about that), but please please please stop letting other people die for you? You've got to go. All this letting everyone else die first doesn't let you live, it just makes you die lonely. 'Kay? Many thanks in advance, Your Killer. Ps. While you're coming to terms with that, could you tell Allain that he, for one, is definitely not kicking the bucket? I think he may have forgotten.

Dear L, Yes, we both know that you're secretly my favourite. Your 'I''m sarcastic and angsty' act was hilarious in the beginning, but I need you to connect with C at some point. Don't keep pushing her away. She's brilliant, I promise. Also, do me the favour of telling me what happens after you and R are in your flat. (Because I don't know!) With love, Your Creator

Dear Lester, don't be so afraid of falling in love with a strange alien guy. He's really nice, actually, and deserves your affection. And he's definitely good in bed. Dear Azar, please stop pissing everyone off or you'll be left eaten by bears shortly after your unfortunate destiny to fall up in the middle of a forest. Dear Donna, not everyone appreciates your spicy comments and strange sense of humour. Please try to accept it already. And other characters, could you meet me with coffee tomorrow? I would really like to get to know to you better! Sincerely, your teacher, mother, secret lover or just simply the evil author.

Contrary to popular belief, I'm the person writing your story. Not you, not Chelsea. Please listen to me. And if you can't do that much, please cooperate with me and Thomas in the revision process. Thanks, Kim Dear Tyson, Can you work harder to be Sarah's best friend. You were doing great in the beginning and then Thomas came back into her life and you kinda lost steam. When we revise you'll have to talk a little more. We need a meaningful relationship in like three weeks. Work on it, Kim Dear Thomas, Good work. Kim

Dear Alcyone and Cathode, Ladies. Please figure out which of your stories is getting written. This constant back and forth bickering is completely unproductive. Yes, Cathode, I know Alcie had her chance last year. That one was my fault, not hers. She's an interesting character. I wrote uninteresting drivel because I couldn't make up my mind about how to do the next part. And yes, Alcyone, I know you have a more fleshed out world and the advantage of steampunk, but I *did* try writing you last year. Cathode has been warming the bench for a year and she can take advantage of word-gobbling fight scenes. So she deserves just as much of a look as you do. ...so please, amongst yourselves, decide all ladylike who gets to get written this year. All the best, J

Dear Melissa, I realise he killed your family and broke your heart (and yes i also know it wasn't in that order), but i'd be REALLY grateful if you would at least tell me his name! Wouldn't you like to curse him by name? I would too... Also, could you explain how you came to be so... easy going, considering your uptight upbringing and all the bad stuff that followed? Seriously, you're too nice and unaffected... unless you're working, then you're just kind of scary. Dear "Team", Don't you all think it's just a little suspicious to be called by code names? I mean... you need real names that you can fall back on. I'd pay far less attention to someone being called John than i would to someone being called Tracker... do you catch my drift? Dear Uncles, Where in the name of whatever holy relic you live under did you come from? Everyone was supposed to have died in that explosion and now you're telling me that you both survived? Orion why did you even follow Melissa in the first place and why did you never try to find her when you knew she was still alive? If you weren't so calm and noble i'd have thought you'd been in on the whole thing... As for YOU, mr hot shot agent, you have some explaining to do! Oh, and "Leader" is NOT a name! Dear Jasper (I don't care if you prefer your nickname, this IS your name), I realise you're not one for rules, but... try to stick to the plot would you? I get that you're fluid and have never been one for being held back, but trust me when i say i can make things rather problematic if you don't follow my plans. However, if you do play along it will be very much worth it in the end, i promise! Also stop with the lame pick up lines. Trust me when i say she'll like you more without them. You don't need them anyway... you're the hottest thing in your sector (or possibly even the planet). Don't get arrogant though. Confident, yes. Arrogant, no. Clear? Love, Your long suffering author, Myst.

Dear Crew Well. It seems I accidentally based your visual design and personalities on different kinds of badger and ferret and marten while the rational part of my brain was elsewhere. Except you, Wire. You're a robot. As for you Miles, you're more of a cat person, you never do fit properly with the rest of the crew. Love, your author. Dear Jep The more I like you the harder this is going to be when it comes to the time to kill you off. Damn it Jep, why are you so cute? Extreme Fondness, your author. PS, I can't save you now anyway, I've already dropped off my compulsive character saving plot bunny. So there. Dear Miles. Oh what I am I going to do with you? When and how did an pretty-boy classic hero character jump into my merry band of unattractive scoundrels? I don't understand it. Anyway, you are the antagonist. They don't know it yet but you are. Pan is going to seduce you and break your heart because she's a bitch like that and you're impulsive and self-righteous so you're going to sabotage the ship's engine. You don't think you would do something like that but I'm afraid I brought you in for this to be your ultimate role. Somehow I'm going to either drive you to this or have it turn out that you were never a nice person to begin with. I'm not sure yet, can you make it a little clearer for me? You're much more complex than I intended so your existence is sort of your own fault. Sort it out alright? Your confused Author. -Pan Please be a horrible bitch to your heart's content. We are going to have such a fun November if all goes to plan! just make sure you are a little bit loveable because you're dying too and I'd like it to be nice and sad. Anyway, you can have all the fun you want and don't hold back, I'd high five you but you don't actually exist. -Ems Capt. Duarte It's okay to hate me. Everyone is certainly going to hate you by the end of all this. My bad. Also, if you end up with Jep because my nanofied brain is just running on too much caffeine, I... actually don't apologise. You two wouldn't be a bad couple, I don't know why I was fussing about it before. I'll try and avoid it but it isn't the end of the world if it does happen. Your probably evil author.

Dear Jesse, I'm not sure what happened to be quite honest. This was supposed to be your story. After going through three plot changes and figuring you guys out it occured to me that this has to be Deacon's story. I do apologize for this. After all of that i'm afraid the best I can do is offer you a chapter or two. Don't worry though, by doing this you'll be in the running to be heavily featured in the sequel. Dear Isaac, I'm so sorry that your wife got the Lexus in the divorce. You worked hard and saved for a long time to get it and to just lose it...that seriously sucks. Now, down to business. I need you to make up your mind how you're going to help Deacon in the story. You're veering back and forth between being encouraging and just being a cynical ass. Make up your mind, please. Dear Mike, You say you want to be in Deacon's group but you're not giving me much to work with. You can't just sit there and do nothing. If you keep that up i'll be forced to cut you from the story. Dear Deacon, You're seriously awesome. I'm sorry your life is so crappy. Don't worry, if you just do what i've got you doing in my head all that pain will be well worth it. Just give Stacy a chance, okay? Oh and don't let your group get you down, they don't care about you. Not the way you care about them. Love to all, Your Author

Dear Silvie/Sarah, Why in the name of cookie dough are you so afraid of being in nature?! I understand you hit your head as a small child which lead to a brief perception shift (c'mon, you didn't hit your head TOO hard) which allowed you to see everything in exquisite detail...including what else lives in forests. But if you could tell me what you saw specifically, that'd be a tremendous help. In fact it would cure this whole lack of antagonist issue I'm having over here. Seriously, you have one day to get your butt in gear and TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW!! Thanks, have a lovely day of rest before I start forcing you to talk to a gnome. Kim

Dear Johann, Look, it's great that you feel you can tell me stuff like this. Really, it is. I appreciate all the back-story and intimate personal details you've been delivering at random over the past few weeks. I know it can't be easy, what with me being preoccupied with exams and all. However. It may have escaped your notice, but this story is not all about YOU. Yes, you're one of two Main Characters, and yes, you were originally The Main Character, but that doesn't mean that you can show up and demand that I write YOUR story in First Person, or else, every time I sit down and try to outline. I do not write in first person. I do not want to write in first person. More importantly, the novel will not WORK in first person. And if the novel ain't working, I ain't happy. And if I ain't happy, you suffer. Even more. I'm not sure what else I can do to you at this point, since I already have you ending up in a concentration camp, but I'm sure I can think of something creative if you don't behave. You might want to remember that for the future. Much love, ~The Author PS: Please stop alternating personalities. You can either be sophisticated and classy or crude and roguish. You really can't be both.

Dear Anaru, I don't know what to do with you. Give me some help here! Dear Melina, You're doing great! However, you need something to do before the "romance" like begins. Do something stupid for once. Dear new character, Why did you have to show up at the next to last minute? Now I need to get you a name, general backstory, plot, etc. Thank you for at least having a theme for me to explore, you at least did that right.

Dear Klyte, Visere, Cori, Ceon, Faelis, Princess Aveline, King Alerion, Nephele and my yet unnamed Weapons Master, This. Is. It. Tomorrow is November 1st. This is when I will start writing your story. Well, technically Klyte's story, but it's more Visere's story-- Vis, remind me to write that fairytale for you. Actually, I'll do it now... No I can't... LATER, I PROMISE. Wait, now. Right after I finish this letter. Cori, you need to give me a personality, I know I'll be last-minute stressing over you. Ceon, you're not really needed, but I do need more male characters and you're pretty cool and I can give my lines to you. Faelis, I'm sorry you die. But seriously, if you don't like Visere, it's only a matter of time before you end up dead. Princess, you are amazing, but please get a personality, even if you're not important. The ball will be the best night of your life. My, uh, king... do get a personality yourself, even if you're not needed. Nephele, Weapons Master sir, you guys are minor. But Nephele, you are absolutely essential. Weapons Master, you're like my Mahtan, but I'm not calling you that. I cannot wait for tomorrow ^_^ Love, Author

Dear Sarah, Do you have a personality, or are you just the sarcastic girl who hates everyone? That's not a personality, that's pathetic! And why do you hate Lily so much? Dear Lily, I could've sworn you were straight when we started this. No matter, but I still don't know how you're completely oblivious to the fact that one of your best friends killed your sister! Exactly how is she your sister anyway? You have different parents... Dear Patch, I'm sorry that your name is silly - you did choose it though, not me! Exactly what is your point in this story, now that Lily's gone and fallen in love with someone else? You were meant to be the love interest. Dear Vivian, Weren't you an adorable five year old with pigtails when I left you last? Now you're an eighteen year old homicidal manic in a pink leather jacket, who's bent on killing everyone who loves her? How am I going to explain this??? Dear Taylor, STOP BLOWING UP THINGS! You can do other things too, y'know. Have you tried knitting? You should. Yep, go and knit some socks for everyone. Love, Ria

Dear Elf, Please. I need a name. At this point, I'm willing to call you something mundane and boring that doesn't fit you at all. Please don't make me do that. I like you, I really do, but you cannot go around nameless the entire story. It just doesn't work that way. Oh, and while you're at it, could you confirm the vague appearance I've got for you and possibly tighten up a bit on that personality? You're sort of a really key character and this stuff is kinda important. With much love (and lots of nervousness), Your Author Dear Other Characters, Bryan's the only one who's been kind enough to give me his info. You guys, I know you aren't main characters and don't get the spotlight, but there are certain things I need to know. Like names and appearances and personalities. Preferably before tomorrow. I'm running out of time here, guys. With more than mild frustration, Your Author Dear Dastardly Duo, Love it. Keep up the good work. I'll need some appearance and history and stuff eventually, but you're doing a fantastic job thus far. See you in November, Your Author

Dear FMC. I'd really appreciate it if you gave me a name... I've your personality and most of your past worked out but it's really annoying when I have to keep referring to you as FMC..... And be nicer to Jace. And the rest of the cast. The only people you're sometimes nice to are Adrianna and Malcom. And Malcom's an alligator. Yours frustratedly. Dear Forte. You're one of the few character's who I've had no trouble with. Thanks, you go girl! Dear Jace. You're annoying, you know that? You're not even trying to help the others! You're going to be hated by the people you're supposed to be teammates with and they're going to prefer Tommo. They're going to leave you to die unless you give them a really good reason to save you. Just a warning. Dear Adrianna, I'm so sorry that you're going to die. It was a pleasure working with you. By the way, Forte has a seccret crush on you. She may or may not tell you. If she does, it'll be a few days before the time you die. Once again, sorry.

Dear Cassandra, I find it absolutely hilarious that you believe in aliens and I'm hoping you like Robin or Patrick better than Cole. I think you're cool because you like to paint and dance, but whatever. Dear Cole, I already think you're a lazy pain in the ass and I think I might kill you off sometime, because I've planned on someone dying. Dear Robin, You're probably the most sane and logical character I have ever created and for that I thank you (and please like Cassandra) Dear Madeline, What do you do? You're just a tree hugger, and although you're one of the main characters, you seem super pointless to me. Dear Alice, You're pretty pointless as well, except I tried to jazz you up by saying you like hair dye. Not cool. Dear Patrick, I forgot about you completely. Love, Eleanor.

Mudge the Expendable — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:19:51 +0200

Okay troops...T-minus thirteen hours and eighteen minutes here in the EDT zone. Here's how it's gonna be: Pietro: You're a major spoiled brat, and if you get up to any antics that don't please me, I *will* kill youi off before your time. Do not play dice with God. I invented them. And you. Get it out of your head that you can run away back to Mamma Italia because you can't. Luca: If you mope and moon over Pietro to the point where you're making *me* sick of hearing about him, whatinahell do you expect actual readers to think? Get a spine, fool! He walks all over you when he's young and beautiful, yeah, okay, us old guys have to put up with that if we're gonna get the goodies. But it gets OLD and FAST, so time to teach him a lesson! He's not the only fish in the sea! You have power as Vice Kapellmeister. Some sweet young thing will happily trade his body for a better part. Pietro's been in love with you since 1722. You've never once played the revenge card. It's time. Farinelli: You dawg you. Pietro loves Luca, you know he does; it makes you mad because you are homoromantic if heterosexual; but c'mon! Leave them alone! This evil plot to make Luca fall in love with you, to make him have an affair with you, just so you can bust them up, is plain old WICKED! The King of Spain PAYS you to have sex with his wife while he watches! Aren't your perviest desires being met already?! I mean, I'm sorry your brother Riccardo had you castrated. Really, truly, I am. And it's just a nasty coincidence that he's got my name. Quit hijacking my sweet romantic fuzzy-wuzzy Vaseline-on=the=lens romantic fantasy! Countess Althann: I am not the world's biggest fan of women, and you're about the most unappealing specimen I can imagine: clingy, needy, desperately horny, co-dependent; but you *are* rich. Face facts, dumpling, Pietro's bangin' you for the spondulix. He's damaged goods, babe, and Bulgarelli can tell you that he's about half-a-step from Woman's Worst Nightmare: excellent sex, charming manner, icy-freezy-cold heart for the ladies, hot for the laddies. What could be worse? Really...get some dignity to go with the title, k? Sling him out, don't wait for him to stop coming around and answering your letters. Gravina: What a sleazebag you are. Buying a boy from his family is grotesquely rotten, even if you give him the education he'd never even be able to dream of having without you. His beauty and his innocence and his pretty little butt were your real interest, dirty filthy pedophile! Okay, in that day and time, it wasn't considered anything all that nasty, but you really cause me nausea. I want to ignore you completely, but I can't. Resign yourself, though, you aren't gonna be a sympathetic character. Bulgarelli: Poor lamb. Older woman falls for young star-stud. You were too good for him. I'm sorry he never loved you back, it hurts me to think of how that must have burned your tenderest parts. Were you surprised, though? You knew about Gravina, and Farinelli eternally offering then withdrawing romantic love, and Pietro's huge huige heart-on for Luca. Of all the cast, you, my dear, are the one I love. I wish I could write a happy ending for you, but that's not how things turned out in this life. I sincerely hope you were happier in your next life. Everyone else: Do exactly as you're told and there won't be trouble. DIsobey, and you're out. That is all.

Sure, your father died young from a heart condition that could possibly have passed on to you in your genes, but why commit suicide in front of your best friend? Really, Sam? Really? Whos gonna watch those hours-long Disney movies with your little sister, Emily? Sure, Amelia could do that, but shes just way too busy most of the time with all the extra shifts she takes at the cafe. Dear Amelia, Why oh why did you start ripping down the pictures off your wall? You spent most of your teenage life dedicated to that hobby of yours! Sure, you took most of those pictures with Sam, but remembering past loved ones isn't always a bad thing. The least you could have done is put them in a box in a closet somewhere instead of ripping them into pieces and tossing them all around the room and out the window. You always were a little dramatic, huh? And what should be your last name!?! Sam's is already Williams. I just can't seem to find one that has a certain ring to it when compared to your name. I swear I will just toss Amelia and name you Gloria if you don't cooperate in the next few hours before NaNo starts! Your Frustrated God/Author, Ziphy

Dear Aral, I know we've had our differences in the past, but right here and right now I'd really appreciate it if you would tell me your story in some form that resembles linear. I like you, but I like Davri a hell of a lot better, and Raev is seriously growing on me. If you're going to be the main character instead of one of those two, you have to start talking to me. I'm sorry I gave you brain damage in the last novel, but that's in the future! I'm writing your past! So start talking! me Dear Raev, By the way, when DID you get so interesting? I'm not even sure how you ended up a wizard. I know you weren't supposed to be. Wrong place at the wrong time and all that. You were supposed to be a throw-away character, and now I'm toying with the idea that you should be a main. wtf? Anyway, you've known Aral longer than I have. Can you convince her to get with the program? Thanks. You're a dear. me

I really really apologize if you feel you've told your story already, but I just wasn't ready to listen or able to hear clearly. Now, will you guys PLEASE grab some coffee or Jack Daniels or whatever it is you're currently drinking, have a few cookies, and start TALKING to me again? Please? You've left your second story in total, chaotic shambles and I'd like to know how in the world you get from Rafe murdering that drug pusher to Dylan offering himself in Rafe's place for execution.

But this book is YA Dystopian Political Thriller, not Slightly Futuristic Gay Dudes In Suits Firing Weapons And Snarking Each Other Off Their High Horses, okay? Here's a compromise: you let me write the novel I want to write, and I'll try to get it published so that the fangirls can analyze your HoYay-tastic interactions with your "partner" and write the awesome, smutty fanfictions you deserve. Just... stay in the closet for now, okay? You live in a very socially conservative future United States and you're not even a big character to boot. Stop trying to make this all about you.

Dear Johanna, I'm sorry for making you such a cold-hearted witch. I hope you'll be pretty chill to Helen later on. I'm also sorry for promising myself that you would have a very minor role, because I like you already. Dear Klaus, I sincerely, sincerely apologize for the stereotypical name, but I had to make SOME historical references at least somewhat obvious. Yes, I realize that you are a major character, and yes, I realize that you have not yet had a specific mention. Thank you for patiently waiting outside of "the desk room." I promise that you will get to rescue Helen from Hugo as soon as I get through with establishing a setting for this major plot moment. I promise I will make you be interesting. Dear Hugo, Sorry you're such a mean guy. I don't know if I have the heart to kill off Klaus, so you might have to die at some point, and for that, I apologize. Love, mollyyymo.

You're so... energetic. Eager to get out into the world and do something. I can't pin your gender down, you feel pretty androgynous. Do you not have a specific gender?

Dear Anastasia, I can't tell if I want you to be more or less Dorian-focused. I think I'm scared of turning you into Bella Swan, so every time I write a paragraph where you're thinking about Dorian I get kinda freaked...then every time I write a paragraph where you're not thinking of Dorian in some capacity, I wonder if it's too boring. Maybe I need to throw in a hotter scene then "Take your shirt off" "Why?" "Because my tears are touching you, which is bad." "Okay, I'll go shower." Seriously? I don't understand your relationship...non-relationship...thing anymore. Dorian, I'm afraid that the readers aren't going to be able to see what you see, feel what you feel, et cetera, due to the fact that the book decided it wants to be 1st person perspective with Anastasia as narrator. Dear me, What the hell is with all this talk of eyes and looking and heartbeats? Can't you come up with something more original than "my stomach chruned" or "my heart pounded painfully" or "he/she looked..." or "his eyes flickered"? GAH.

You're more levelheaded than the others, and I like that, but if you don't shape up I'll have to tell it Grant's point of view, and as much as I like him I'd rather not have to write a running snarky commentary in the narration. - The Author Dear Marco, You're one of the first characters I came up with tonight, and I was starting to like you, but then you let Grant hog all the good lines. If you don't develop your own personality, I'm gonna have to cut you. - The Author (P.S. - Try to find a new name. All I can think about when I write your name is the dude from Animorphs, and I last read that almost a decade ago.

Dear Cora, Why so serious? Honestly. I thought you were a lot more fun than this. I understand that you're in a hard spot right now, and are facing a lot of changes, but with that winsome attitude and high capacity for sarcasm, I really thought that you would be coping differently. Much love, Cait.

Abhi. Dude. What are you doing. You were meant to be a name from a random character generator who my main main character (out of three) chats to briefly. Why are you on the way to becoming my fourth main character? You weren't planned like that at all! I've been making up your personality on the fly! I'm not even sure what you DO yet! ...Oh. You're going to be the FMC's love interest. Well, I... guess that's okay, since I decided that the relationship between the FMC and my main MMC was going to be purely platonic and the other MMC is her brother... But really, Abhi, now I'm going to have to revise my outline. Kindly sit down and stop hogging the spotlight while I do so!

Dear Lyria, Why did you decide to put all of this summer's memories in my plot, as you reminisced after dying? I bawled like a small child the whole time I wrote last night from heart ache... Dear real life best friends, In writing my MC's death and reminiscing, I realized I love you all more than almost anything in the entire world. You all were very teary at my MC's funeral (you got cameos), and I adore you all so very much. Expect mega-hugs when I come back from college. You are like family. Love you all. <3

Dear Lenn, stop falling for Eliza. You are supposed to end up with Layla. And what type of guy are you who's falling for a girl 5k in. All you did yet was being grumpy and making a move on her. Eliza doens't fit you, it's Layla who's you range. Eliza's out of your league. Also quit being so grumpy and hostile. You're supposed to be the MMC not Matt and surely not Brian, who's supposed to die soon. Your Creator

Dear John, Why. Why did you have to die before the story even starts? And it's a heroic sacrifice no less, which means that you're going to have to stay six feet under for the foreseeable future just so the sacrifice is proven necessary. You're the first damn character revealed in Homestuck, dying is one of those things you're Not Allowed To Do Even In Fanfiction. Okay that's a lie, but most times I've read you die are one-off Sadstuck fics. This is a NaNovel, and your freaking funeral being the start of the story? Noooooooot acceptable. Except that I wrote it. Argh. Eh, you'll be back before the end of the story, you've got contractual immortality and this is a crossover with Green Lantern anyway. Dear Jake/Hass/Scratched!Grandpa, Nope, sorry, you're stuck getting treated somewhat awfully by Jade until she doesn't see her brother every time she looks at you. Suck it up and get a haircut or something. Dear Karkat, ... was that an implicit admission of redrom feelings towards John? Dammit, why do you have to do this when he's dead? DEAD, Karkat! I can't ship you with a corpse! ~~And I'm shipping you with the corpse's sister right now anyway!~~

Dear Will, Let's be frank. I took a risk in letting you narrate the story. I know you've had some issues with words in the past, and I thought it would be a good exercise for you. But I have to ask...do you have to be so freaking verbose? I mean seriously. Just shut up. This is supposed to be an actiony novel, and we've spent like 1500 words sitting in your cubicle. I know this is an odd request for a NaNovelist, but I don't want to go through and cut out all the crap in December only to find that my novel really had just 30k words of actual plot. I may be eating my words later. Or I may just replace you with the 10 year old boy I had lined up to narrate. Sincerely, Arlette

Marie Dear Cassius, I'm not sure if you're mad that I turned you into a bad guy or not, but please stop being so difficult! You were my favorite character, now I'm really considering killing you, if not in this book then in the next one. If you would open up a little and tell me why you're doing the things you're doing, I might let you live. Just saying. Marie Dear Azalea, He's your son. Please tell me you're going to agree to help him, because my story will die if you don't. Speaking of dying, will you please tell me how you killed your daughter. That's an unanswered that has being bothering me since book 1. Marie Dear Ray What the hell are you! You're way too adorable to be a daemon, but you're too Powerful to be human. Do cutesy daemons exist? Marie Dear Angelmx, Are you a good guy or a bad guy? Are you really helping Cassius, or is he just a pawn in a game none of us know the rules to. If he is a pawn, will you mind telling me what your real goals are? I need to know these things if I'm to write them. Marie Dear Everyone Else, I'm sorry that I'm going to kill some of you, but your deaths will be important to the plot. If you will like to enlighten me as to what the importance is, I'll swear to make sure you all go out with a bang. Marie

Also, I'm really upset I lost your awesome dialogue from earlier. It would have been fitting to write it now. Dear Sharon: This is why you don't mess with the dark side. Good luck getting help. Good news is that there will be a savior coming (metaphorically, physically AND spiritually). Just know that your fallen angel isn't gonna let you go without a fight. Dear Jeremy: You're up. Good luck. :) Also, enjoy your Redeemed Angel guardian friend. He's gonna help you out a lot--even if you don't really understand the spiritual stuff you're dealing with.

Dear Angelmx, (and Cassius too, I guess) I know I just wrote to you like 5 hours ago, but you're being s stubborn bastard! I need to know what you're doing with Cassius and what your ultimate goals are! And if you could pick a personality and stick with it, I wouldn't be mad at all, in fact I might reward you if you do so. Also, where the hell have you taken him? "One step closer to achieving your goals" does not tell me much, especially since Cassius is still being a stubborn arse about revealing his goals! You, me, and Cass need to sit down and have a nice long talk about plots and your roles in them. Also, I forgot to ask this last time, but what's your connection to Azalea? You implied in the first book that you knew her, care to tell me how? And what's your plans for Jaye? Are you leading him into a trap? And are you at all connected with what's being going on with the Fates? I guess what I really want to know is: who the hell are you, Angelmx? (and what kind of name is Angelmx? not very scary for and all-powerful daemon). With my best regards and my deepest frustrations, Marie

Dear Cassian, No, you're not a main character. Please stop bothering me. Why would you even want to be an MC? They're all pretty much doomed. I mean, I MIGHT be able to work you in, but you wouldn't be an MC through the entire story, maybe through the first half at the absolute most and that's it. But there's a problem, in that I just made you up off the top of my head LAST NIGHT, and I don't know anything about you. I know you have a wife, but not her name. Any kids? Hobbies? Any reason you're so irritable? We need to figure this out. Though I agree, it would make a great deal more sense to send you than Ornos. God. Stupid logical elders... All right, all right, I'll work you in. You've got me convinced. Now leave me alone until it's your turn again. Yours regretfully, Comma

Also, I know you've been sure you were mentally ill / psychotic / crazy as a freaking loon since you were seven years old, but really, you're not totally unbalanced - quit jumping between flippant sarcasm and bleak depression every other page, would ya? It's going to get better shortly, and you're giving me whiplash. Thanks, Jamie P.S. Tell Shal to quit sulking, would ya? She's falling in love with you, she'll listen (eventually).

You are meant to be panicking like a child and calling your cousin to come and help you overthrow the school and start a war. Love, Me PS: Stop stripping. Please, for the love of my sanity! Dear Sam, WHERE ARE YOU????!!! Ahem, your cousin needs your guidance and support, and you cannot just show up out of nowhere to help him because he HAS to ask you to help and you cannot find your way to !"£$%&*()_ town without him contacting you and dragging you in. Why, you ask? Because that is half of the point of this story. You need to pose as a teacher soon to go in undercover. No, you cannot randomly strip naked. Brenn does that enough as it is. Love, Me Dear Alesha, Who the heck are you? And why are you making goo-goo eyes at Brenn? You are meant to be with Calvin. No, no one is meant to know about this yet, but you are. So stop it. Or I will write Calvin/Brenn. What do you mean that's one of your fantasies??!!! Love, Me Dear Calvin, You have disappeared. You will come back. And if you do not show up in the next scene, I will write you with Brenn. Intimately. I mean it. I don't care that you're straight, I will do it. Love, Me Dear Len, You are meant to be dead. Please die. Love, Me Dear Ely, You have also disappeared. Please tell me where you are. Love, Me Dear Tanas, No, I will not give you a bigger part. You are meant to be the hidden bad guy, and don't you dare reveal who you really are to these kids! They are screwed up enough as it is. Yes, I know about the secrets. No, I will not tell Brenn or Alesha or Sam--well, he already knows anyway, I think-- or Calvin, or Len, or anyone else who you are before your big reveal. Which, btw, is not for another 20k at least. Love, Me PS: I will not follow the Evil Overlord list, because you are not an Evil Overlord. Capitals are required for this position.

Dear Shiloh, Why did you have to live in a library half your life? I spent my childhood dreaming about how utterly awesome it would be and now you have shattered all my hopes and dreams. And your whining of wanting "more" is making me expect you burst out in a fully orchestrated Disney Princess song. Which would be awesome, but this is a book and it is simply not possible. Even in this silly story. Also, your so utterly average past has made you very dull in comparison to the other characters who I won't get to for another chapter. Why does introducing a team through the newbie have to be the (supposedly) easiest way to do things!? Basically, become more interesting of I'll demote you even from Watson duties. (no) Love, Your Author

Dear Archer and Lucine, I'm glad I know your entire life stories and many other things that are more or less insignificant plot-wise. I'm getting worried that you're not quite aware that you're side-characters, appear maybe halfway through and probably will be in the story less than anyone else. It doesn't help that your niece, a.k.a. the narrator, isn't aware of any of the things that actually make you interesting. Yes, I know you can't tell her. But she's the bloody narrator! Love, your author Dear Sevan, I know you're fine with your not-exactly-starring role, but... just know you're still the main character? Okay? Even though your first line is "I'm no one"? I'll try to fix this... In tears, your author

Dear most important female characters (who at this point are STILL nameless), Look, I know you're annoyed that you haven't been named yet, but that doesn't mean when I ask for suggestions you can suddenly grab each others hand and start running around screaming "WE'RE IN LOVE!" You guys were supposed to be good, platonic friends! I can't write romance! *sigh* You probably win, Your author

Dear Satu, What could your throbbing head possibly have to do with the events at hand? Speaking of the events at hand, what exactly is this mistake of which you speak? There is much information that I deserve to be privy to. This doctor doesn't like you--in fact, it seems that you bore him. This is interesting, considering your notable annoyance and sense of motivation. He's bored and watching seconds slowly tick away, and you clearly have somewhere to be. As every author eventually rages, tell me who the hell you are, woman! Love, K

Dear MMC, You need to stop drinking. I didn't give you permission to be an alcoholic. Dear FMC (adult class), You have the foulest mouth I have ever heard. You probably shouldn't have said that to a NUN. Dear FMC (child class), You have Asperger's, so you just go ahead and do what you want. And thank you for explaining about the rules.

Dear Simon, stop being a prick and have the heart we all know is beating in your lovely chest. Dear Eliza, stop being demanding and overbearing. you're supposed to be sweet but assertive. please begin acting as such. Dear Nigel, get a clue, fast. And you're not a playboy so would you kindly keep your eye on your soon to be fiance. she's bound to be adorable and sweet and probably the nicest character in the story. Dear Christopher, I didn't know you were so terrified. Suddenly you have amazing foil dimensions. Thanks for that. Just don't turned into a weird one-dimensional villain on me. You're supposed to be moody and super smart, so start making better decisions. Making deals with Jack the Ripper in dark alleys is not going to win you any fans. Dear Bertrand, Thank you for revealing yourself to be the the amazing father I knew you were supposed to be, and showing your vulnerability and political objections from the start as opposed to forcing me to make then come out at the worst time. Keep being your awesome self. Signed Sincerely, Me

Dear Rory, I get it. You're cool. You're hip. You're super-special-awesome and everyone should bow down to your supermegafoxyawesomehotness. But here's the thing: you're not the main character of this story. You're just a side character who will probably become a huge ensemble darkhorse if this ever gets published. I need to develop my main characters before I can develop you. Sincerely, Starmy P.S. Please stop trying to woo me over with your Irish accent. It's very distracting.

Dear FMC, We're approaching day two, so pick a name already! I can't just keep calling you [insert name here], despite how tempting it may be to do it for the extra words. Also, are you bipolar or something? One minute you're the strong type, the next your all weepy and crying every two seconds. PICK A PERSONALITY. Dear MMC, What is it with you guys this year and not having names? Yes, I realize this novel is first person from your perspective, but that does NOT mean you don't need a name. Just because it's not used as often does NOT excuse you from having one. Besides, having two characters named [insert name] and [insert name 2] is confusing. Also, giving me more of a hint on your back story would be fantastic. I know something bad happened, but it would be nice if you'd tell me WHAT. Did your family die in a horrible fire? Did your best friend betray you? Did the villain kick your puppy? It's hard to know how you'd react to certain situations WITHOUT knowing a huge factor of your past. So yeah...get your act together. Dear minor characters, Um...showing up at some point would be nice...also, is it too much to ask that when you do you come with names? ...yeah I thought so... Sincerely, You slightly panicked Author

Dear Lily, Yes, we get it. The metal of the stopwatch is cold, the wind is telling scary stories. Can we cut to the good part of the fight scene and you just head off to the future?

That shouldn't be too hard to write, should it? Wait...maybe that's the problem. Girl, you're going to drive me up the wall... Dear Arias, Yes, I know that I'm putting you in a crappy situation with your distaff counterpart. I'm sorry, but that's how it is. It'll get better soon, I promise.

Yup, you're paleflirting with him, now cut that out because I'm not willing to deal with an actual pair of conflicting relationships. Nooo. The Jade/Karkat fuckery is bad enough, I don't need you messing up Karkat's one actually filled quadrant. Dear Karkat, STOP RESPONDING POSITIVELY TO ROSE'S MOIRAILLISH ADVANCES!

I have every right to kill you. Behave yourself. Risa Dear Raz, What the heck?! You are NOT turning out as planned, and I DON'T like it. No little schoolboy crush on Senka. You either like her and try to get her to understand it WITHOUT acting like you're in middle school, or you don't like her and therefore treat her civilly! Thank you. Risa Dear Asgier, Two things. 1) Remind me why I gave you a name I can't spell without looking back at my notes? 2) You're sort of lacking minions. Bad guys need minions. Hire minions right away or you're FIRED. Love you to death anyways because you're you. Risa

I gave you everything, you twat! I even made you and your cute friend, Camille, an item. But there is just no pleasing you! The story is called DAVID dies, not ADAM dies, you should consider yourself lucky! I'm starting to think you might be loosely based on me. If so, then I have some MAJOR personal issues to work out. Sincerely, DC Dear Violet, Your story is going significantly better than Adam's... but you just aren't very interesting. I'm sorry. You have little to no personality, and you'd think someone who had all her limbs removed would have some. You're seven-years-old, right? How do seven-year-olds normally act? Your sister is a really interesting character but... she's evil, right? I don't know? Is she even your sister? Please be more interesting soon. Sincerely, DC

I mean I had you in mind for more than a month now, and I've gone over planning with you at LEAST 4 times. I'm pretty sure we agreed that you would be a passionless kid who doesn't know what he's doing with his life and is a bit lost... So...can you please tell me why you are now just a generic lazy ass who doesn't want to do anything? please? this month's gonna be reeeeeally difficult if we don't get on the same page here...Also, I'd prefer you get to me before my final paper is Comp. comes up...just a suggestion.

I know, I know, you're all excited to tell me stuff, and that's great, but if I don't sleep I can't drive good, and if I die on the road none of you will have your stories told anyway. So, Please! Just a little sleep? I promise I'll write again tomorrow. Yes, you can invade my sleep and give me vivid dreams, as long as you talk quietly among yourselves long enough for me to get to sleep. Don't make them so vivid you wake me up, or I swear I'll refuse to write about you until December! Thank you.

Secondly, What the hell? Why does it feel so weird trying to build a relationship between you and the main character? I mean, your destined for eachother, literally made for eachother. The thing is, your not even resisting it. It's just like.. your only 16... I'm trying to show your innocence off over here while trying to show some kind of sexuality. It makes no sense! I just can't have you be sweet and sexy at the same time can I?! Just grow the hell up. Just because you grew up in a cottage with no one but your parents and a smelly old creppy doctor does not mean that you are allowed to shut your pants off forever! Dear Vaelinn, Why two n's? I don't know. Anyways. Your a sexy beast, but work with me here. You have to come off as the silent protector, the cool and suave guy who can kill a horde of *angry* zombies with your bare hands, and an angry village mob to boot. You are from the past, which is like being from the future in this story! Can't you do me a favor and just stop being so obvious? You don't have to stare at her every time she moves, and you really! Really?! do you seriously start SWEATING when she holds your hand!? Come on man! You need to think- I am a freaking BEAST. And then down play it with silent humility! Anyways. Good work on the church business, you gave her distance and let her figure it out on her own. Now how are you going to explain the fact that zombies are terrified of you, except every fourth full moon?? Dear little unnamed girl, Your mother had beautiful eyes, I'm sorry she died. I feel terrible for the way your story had to go, you faced some ugly things in your time.But be a strong little girl now and go run off to the village about 12 miles east, running from a herd of zombies... yeah. sorry about that. Oh and when you see mother-zombie, give her a good shovel wack for me.

I know you think manipulation is okay and that it really will be "awesome" when you reveal who you are later, but... really? REALLY? I sort of wanted a love interest for him and this is getting awkward if you're going to pull this. Dear Yuki, ... I really wasn't expecting your personality to change this much, but let's see what we can do with you. I apologize in advance for the horrible things I may be putting you through, since now I want to have your soul in someone else's hands and all. Also, I'll try to keep Nao off of you for now, but no promises. Dear Shion, Dude. What the hell? Stop changing your personality and appearance and please stick with one. :| Dear Potential Future Love Interest of Yuki's, Develop yourself now if you want dibs, before Shion changes himself back to the original love interest or before Nao sinks his claws in any deeper.

Dear Tom, you need to be a jerk. Don't be afraid of it. You're allowed to be mean, have the funniest lines, and you should step up and be the most provocative character in the story. Don't fall in to the trap my brain has set out, I should warn you, it will mold even the most rounded characters and dump them into the nice-guy department where everybody's nice to each other and nothing ever happens.

Dear Daniyel, You're acting like the weird kid that sits in the corner, eats his own boogers, and then kills everyone with his play do knife. I know you were tortured and your social skills are lacking, but really, you're just creepy weird. I'm not sure there's much I can do with that, unless....oh nevermind, I just had a great idea. Love, SJ P.S. You really are going to have to quit acting like to want to literally eat your love interest. You're not Hannibal Lector. Dear Rian, You do realize that the level of douchery that you display is conversely related to the level of torture I need to put you through to make you into a redeeming character, right? Just an FYI. Love, SJ

streamergurl — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:38:59 +0200

Dear Monique, I'm really, really glad you're in this story. You're a foster mother to Jasmine, an excellent mother to your own children, a fabulous wife and you have a mind of your own that you get to express later on. But WHY did you take over the first two chapters? That was one chapter too many. This is NOT your story! I might not talk to you for a while, but it's nothing you've done. The spotlight needs to be on Jasmine for a bit. See you when she disappears into the dungeon. Until then, bye! -- Your Author Dear Jasmine, I tried to change your name to something more medieval sounding. But Jasmine seemed to fit. But you are NOT the princess from Aladdin. Yes, at first you have the same complaints. But there is so much more to your story. I've got that you're angry from others, but I've yet to see that from you. I like all your inward dialogue, and thanks for giving me the heads up on what was going on with Vincent's family. I'm not sure how that applies to your story, but I'll keep that in mind. Now, I want you to be angry with your mother. Right now you have all these questions about marrying the right one, which is good. And you're even a little grateful that she's letting you choose. But I don't see the anger yet. She just talked to a messenger about something insignificant, and all you did was complain in your head. I need to see the girl that broke pottery and yelled at her maid again. Only this time, I need to see it from you, not down the hall. This is YOUR story. I need more from you, starting pronto. -- Your Author Dear Elena, I just found out you're pregnant, so congratulations! I'm going to need to know what you name your baby. Do you want a boy or a girl? And I need to learn more about your personality. Do you simmer quietly against the Queen like everyone else? Do you whine incessantly? Are you close to Jasmine? I know you don't have much of a role in this story, but I would like to know these things soon. Thanks! -- Your Author Dear Trevor, I'm coming to your part of the story. I'm gonna need to know WHY you're speaking against the Queen. Can you find that Bible passage for me I've been wanting to find for the past month? I know the Queen's ignoring the poor and it's not helping anything. But I need some Scripture to back it up. By the way, why are you preaching about honoring your parents during the first sermon we hear? Is it part of a larger point? I kind of need to know these things. And by the way, mind giving me a hint on what you look like? You're going to steal Jasmine's heart, and she's used to nice looking guys. How is it that you're not married yet? How old are you? And do you have a last name that I'll need to know? -- Your Author Dear Queen, I need you to more aloof. And I need more reasons for you to get so upset at Jasmine. Why do you take action against her when you blow off every other problem presented by your children? Is it really just because she tells you off? And you are NOT a reflection of my mother. Just reminding you. Don't worry, though. The ending's cool. :) -- Your Author

Disturbed yet affectionate, L Dear Acelin, Don't you dare go crazy. I realize you've been with me since I came up with you, but you're not allowed to steal character traits from anime characters you've seen. Especially not THAT trait, from THAT character. I need you to be the rational character, not the slightly-psychopathic one. He's awesome, and you're awesome, but in completely different ways. DON'T DO IT.

You are so boring now that I've written something about you! You were supposed to be the FMC. The amazing Lily who starts of fearful and then gets some courage and kicks ass.

Annoyed, Jen Dear Adrian, So you gave me a way to make you love Lily...but making me turn you into Edward Cullen. Seriously? You are supposed to be a bad boy all about seducing mortals and having wild, hot nights with them! You're not like that now! You need to strap on a pair seriously...or else I'll kill you and Lily together and just make Siobhan a new hot guy! Actually you know what at the moment you don't deserve the thoughts she is thinking about you. She loves you idiot plus she's one of your kind. So no more ill fated romance!

You have to help me drive the plot forward, which means you have to communicating in something besides snide comments and grunts. Seriously. Also, maybe you should actually go talk to your boyfriend and try and clear up that mess. Just a hint. Noah, Okay, I know your dad just died and all that but I really really need you to get it together and start doing things besides lament on how it was all your faut(it wasn't). Go chase a ghost, get into trouble, argue with Alain or Fitz, just do something! Fitz, Please be a bit more considerate, Noah just lost her dad. Also, if you would tell me how you died, that'd be super. And how you look, although it's not horribly important yet. Preston Stop hitting on your partner. Alain is taken and you're straight, damnit. Elliot, Why won't you stay dead?! I've already given you some way to communicate with your brother despite the whole 'dead' issue! Kindly explain to me how you pulled that off!

Dear Aalina, Are you a lesbian? It's cool if you are I just really need to know. I mean it gives you an excuse to run like hell from Gautier (besides the fact that it is a major creep) but I need to know what to do with Alix too so... Help would be welcome. Confused, Glass Dear Alix, Why are you slightly more interesting than the main character(s)? I'm gonig to be done with you by the end of the chapter, why do you do this to me. Also are you a lesbian too? Best regards, Glass Dear Gautier, You're a creep and time will not treat you well (also Aalina totally will hate your guts so good luck?) but I can't wait to get to writing you. Try not to massacre everybody that looks at Aalina though. Please. Because I kind of like Alix and also Aalina would probably like to have friends at some point in her extensive lifespan. Excited (and still worried), Glass

Dear Misha, I'm sorry to say that you were supposed to only be a minor character and are now the only "witness" in a very bruteish murder, thankfully you have no magical abilities so your not a suspect congrats! On the other hand, you've now been pulled into a a killing spree by a nut job that thinks its cute to watch you freak the fuck out. I realize that your an old man, but you can't have a heart attack yet! I might decided to use you in book two! Love, Sable Dear Murderer, I'm thankful that I finally figured out what the fuck you were going to be, on another hand writing your sadistic and glorious delight in the death of others makes my skin crawl. You will be exorcized back to hell or put in your own special made prison, ho ram! Slightly disturbed, Sable Dear Cainnech and Bailshar, I know the two of you are the head of the team put would you stop keeping secrets, your making Whitney act like she's PMSing and Caden is taking the brunt of her rage. While Anchel might be highly amused by all this human idiocy I'm not! Oh, and stop pestering Misha, he's just the poor human that accidentally got pulled into all this mess. Thanks, Sable P.S. Bailshar your wife is going to be pissed off at you for the majority of this book I hope you forgive me or make it up to her sooner. Dear Anchel, I know you don't really get human-ness, but can you please stop that amused smile everytime someone gets scolded? Sable Whitney, STOP BEING A BITCH! I know that you happen to be a witch, but that is no reason to beat on Caden like that...or is that unresolved sexual tension for the two of you? (Never mind the fact that he's gay(maybe?) and you seem to hate all men.) Which I really don't know were its coming from? Sable Caden, You man....I'm sorry that you are currently on the bottom of the totem poll. Sable

They're good at chattering which is good for word count. So. Until someone speaks up with useful information, I'll be going with them.

Levii, Come on. You should know by now (after around 2-3 months of planning) that you are not the main character! Can't you let Dust tell her story (okay, yours as well)? I don't intend for you to run through Dust, leaving her in the, well, dust. You could shine in a sequel if one ever happens, though I doubt you'll ever make another appearance. I can't cut you, but I can make you miserable. So you better behave soon. Sincerely, Your loving author, Kaite Dust, Can't you take command of the board? Currently, you've gotten the introduction, Levii's gotten the drastic patient, and Levii's leading you on your quest. You are supposed to be the MAIN main character, not Levii's tagalong. Show up! Would you tell me what you want me to do? I could have you convince your boss to let you go, or I could have a rock fall on you. But I want to get to 50k by November 30th, and that won't happen if you won't shine. Sincerely, Your loving author, Kaite

Dear Mikael, You're insane. We both know that you're insane. So start acting like it! You're probably the most normal character in the story so far. And Jeanne has to figure out that you're crazy all on her lonesome. Give her a few big hints. Oh, and remember how you have to convince Jeanne to become your sidekick? Well, she's about ready to kick certain important parts of your male anatomy if you don't turn up the charm and worm your way into her heart with your deep, sparkly eyes. You end up being the romantic lead! I know you can do it! Yes, I know you're not used to using your manly wiles to convince sixteen-year-old girls, but she needs to be your assistant! It's the plot! Get a move on! Sincerely, Fletch, your anti-conscience Dear Jeanne, Could you quit giving Mikael such a hard time? I know you're still in pain from the explosion, but that wasn't his fault! Well, it was sort of his fault, but you need to forgive and forget. How can I write a story about your adventures with Mikael if you throw Mikael out your window? I'm not writing a story about your adventures with Steve! Where the heck did he come from anyways? You're supposed to be skeptical about magic, and now you have a resident ghost in your house that you interact with on a daily basis! Grr. Yours Untruly, Fletch, the highly disgruntled narrator who is controlling your life Dear Steve, What is up with you, dude?!?! You're the ghost of an American tourist, haunting a random house in France. You're obsessed with peanut butter. You like turning on the shower and playing the theme from Psycho when Jeanne is trying to sleep. You flirted with Mikael, who is a middle-aged man like yourself! Oh, and I think you may be shaping up to be a pervert, what with the way you watch Jeanne while she's sleeping. I didn't even know you existed before November first! How did you invade my story?!?!

First of all, Ronelle was supposed to be trained by your father in strategy, and you suddenly decided around the time I was writing my synopsis that you should get to do that. Okay, that's fine. I can see how that would work. But what's this now? You were supposed to be the middle child, not the eldest. And, yes, looking at the plot, it does make more sense. But, really? Stop stealing the limelight. Dear Gad, Wake up. The city is under attack and your (now) elder sister is stealing the story from you. Dear Kaleigh, Sorry for ruining your birth celebration.

You're supposed to be one of the people who puts him back together after I completely shatter him! And, mind, he is NOT dying in this novel, so you had better clean up your act and come through for him now that he needs you and his friends to save him from death by torture.

Don't you dare turn into a Mary-Sue on me, just don't. She isn't perfect and neither are you, and I refuse to turn you into a Mary-Sue just to fulfill my own ideas of what she should be/who I think she is/compensate for ways she has disappointed me. It's not fair to me or to you, and it certainly isn't fair to her, though she'll never read it. So don't even do it. Watching you, Author Dear Jessie and Darian, Look, I'm glad that you two are bonding and everything, but discussing masturbation, while funny and somewhat taboo in a delicious way, is at this point doing nothing for the plot.

For one thing, there's no suspense because everyone knows you're going to live for a while, and then you hinted at fairies, so now the reader will know everything. Also, every detail of your inner life and daydreams need not be discusses. And childhood wasn't as idealistic as you're making it sound. Despite this, with love, Your author <3

Re: Dear Character

hybridowl — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 14:50:47 +0200

Dear raven, I’m very sorry that I had to temporarily killed you. The fact of the matter is, you are too powerful, and having you in the story means that El will never have a chance to grow up and become the awesome character I know he can be, rather than this wimpy thing that has been following you around so far; I know you liked that el, but I’m sure the new El will be even better, and will probably not throw hissy fits half as often, which I’m sure you can appreciate. And, since you are a minor god and all, you’ll probably bounce back into being by the end of the story, and then you’ll be able to go back to being the mischievous, lovable, all-powerful guy you are, and sweep El off his feet like the proper romantic lead you are. That being said, I also apologize in advance for all the crap I’m going to put El through now; please don’t smite me. Love, Me Dear El, If you could pick a gender, that would be awesome. I know I said you were male, but that was kind of a placeholder until you did something to make your gender official. If you could get on that, that would be awesome. While you’re at it, please stop acting like an obnoxious wimp; it’s not going to get you far, and now that both raven and Ann are dead, there’s no one to put up with your crap, so man up. On a side note, I apologize for your obvious and debilitating daddy issues, and hope to get you a little closure on that front by the end of the book. Love, Me Dear Ann, When you first came into the book, you blindsided me. I just needed a coworker to snark at El’s antisocial tendencies and force him to go out to that party, but you turned out to be really cool, and pregnant, and with a loving fiancé, and with more honest background and legitimate heart than anyone else in this whole story. So the fact that I had to kill you is really hard on me; I know you don’t hold a grudge, and the fact that raven mind messed everyone you knew into thinking you were already cremated so they didn’t have to suffer would make you happy. I wish I could have saved you as much as El does, Me Dear Sarah, Please become more interesting. You were kind of cool for the page you were on a little while ago, and I think the story you have ahead of you is great, and your path toward being on the right side and truly feeling for the plight of humanity is going to make you someone I really like. You just need to get less lame in the meantime, or I’m going to continue giving El’s whining more screen time than your block-of-wood-y-ness. Love, Me Dear big bad, First, I’d like to congratulate you on being a legitimately scary big bad, who I really want my main characters to defeat, while still being conflicted about it because you’re not generally on the bad guy side. That being said, if you could come out of the shadows for five minutes and explain your plan rather than only showing your presence through your minions, that would be cool, and it will stop what I think is going to be your ten minutes of actual screen time before El destroys you entirely. Also, if you could come up with a name that is neither ‘Raven’s brother’ or ‘unpronounceable ancient name’ or ‘the high councilor’, I‘d appreciate it. And no, you can’t use Thor, Osiris, or Zeus. Michael is right out, as I want our readers to actually be able to not immediately want Raven to lose on principle. If you could come up with something a bit more subtle, which I know is hard for you, then we could get somewhere. Love/hate, Me Dear raven’s sentinel friend, Please don’t be lame. I look forward to seeing you soon, Me

Don't think I won't. I already like him better. Dear Davri, Stop being a show-off and a teacher's pet. You know I love you best, but I can't make you the main character. I just can't! It's in the rules. Rules. Can't do. Dear Byrek, Holy mother of backstory! Thank you! You even have a personality! I always knew you had it in you. If only you could have gotten over Davri before Agrad came along so, you know, I wouldn't have had to shift the story in a completely new direction half way through writing Elemental a few years ago? Oh well, I'll take a prequel where you have a personality over you having no personality at all. Better late than never. Dear various gods, WTF? Where *are* you guys? Baedrogan and Agruet are the only ones to show up so far, and you sounded like cheesy supervillians. Dialogue with no description? Seriously? That's ALL you give me to work with? You guys suck. Nalia will show you how it's done. I hope. Oh jeez, how can I even bring her in until you all end up dead? Ugh!

Make me love you! -your author Dear Percy, Do stop comparing people to things, similes are getting annoying. You might be a bit pretentious and philosophy graduate, but you're supposed to have grown out of that by the time you write your memoirs, you know. Or maybe you're just supposed to think you've grown out of it, but really you're just more subtle about it. Thanks, your author Dear Don, You seem to have lost all your colour. Get a third dimension quickly or I might kill you before you're supposed to die. -the author

And stop playing "gay, not gay" with said charge! The boy's sixteen and confused enough as it is! Wynn Dear Johnny, I'm sorry I never gave you a real voice upon your creation all those years ago. I'm sorry you seem destined to be a demigod's plaything. I'm afraid you're going to have to die in order to move the plot/end the story. Please listen to Alex before the villain gets you!

Dear Ross, Yeah, it's great that you can use magic. It's great you healed the MC (Believe me, we're all glad for that). And it's awesome that you changed his clothing (but for issues regarding that, see Dear, Plot). But what you did after that was just absolutely horrifying. You KNOW he's still recovering, you KNOW that you had to use his own natural healing processes to heal him, so you MUST KNOW he's going to be a bit infirm for the next couple of days. SO WHY DID YOU SLAP HIM SO HARD ON THE BACK AND KNOCK HIM TO THE GROUND. I was not happy about that; I don't care how cheerful you're supposed to be, that was just plain mean. You should be ashamed of yourself. I know you aren't on Earth, but please try to remember the doctor's oath of "Do No Harm". Especially to your currrent patient. A Bit Concerned, DCJ P.S. WHAT MENTOR? That wasn't supposed to be in the original storyline! Admit it, you just totally made that one up! I really hope you know what you're doing, Ross, because I sure don't.

ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THIS IS 'OKAY'?! ~Herostar Dear Buttons, I have not forgiven you for naming yourself, but you're cute so I'll forgive you. Love Herostar <3 Dear Roy, Why did you decide you were gay? Just when I had a story where not only were there straight characters for a change, but everyone was straight, you decided to come up to me and say you like Jonathan.

Dear Trish, What the heck kind of name is that?!?!? Seriously woman, I know you were originally cast as back up character to die in the first two chapters, but you're the main character now hun, so, you know. The name. It's not very "Lead Role" now is it? You are a daring heroine, dashing about the world to uncover a sinister plot to overthrow humanity. You can NOT do that with the name "Trish." So if you could possibly change that, it'd be great. Thanks for your understand, -The Author.

Dear Gareth, I know you're concerned that Ross also specializes in water magic, but don't worry, I promise you're not just a clone of him. Today you proved that with your quick thinking and expert spell-forming as you escaped the city, the guards hot on your heels the entire time. And, you were also the first character to do something totally awesome that the reader could actually read about, so you get a cookie! What's a cookie, you ask? See what's inside the box this letter is attached to at your earliest convenience. Anyway, I know your segment was rather short, and I apologize for that. But don't worry, you're not a temporary character, so you'll have many more segments all to yourself. But if I don't share with the other main characters, then there will be riots and I'll be burned at the stake. And I know your segment ended with you hurtling towards some rather nasty looking trees, but don't worry, you won't die or be seriously injured, unless of course the Plot decides otherwise (you know how fickle it can be). I have a plan though, and if the Plot agrees, you'll come out relatively safe. Hoping You Don't Crash Into That Treeline, DCJ.

Dear Rika, DUDE. STOP. Seriously, you're becoming the center of attention in every single scene and the other 3 are like these vapid little beings that help you along on your journey to self-enlightenment. You keep telling everyone that you don't want to be the center of attention (hence hiding your power over other people's emotions from the others) but you keep whining about needing to be this multi-layered emotional being right away instead of blooming into one slowly like the others. I just know you're going to want a scene where you go all emo about almost dying and having your entire world ripped to shreds. But guess what? The others were torn away from their lives too! Give them a freaking break and make your brain explode or something so I can give them a personality. Jeez. Now. Emidio and you are going to go back home and the others are going to have an emotional talk about THEIR feelings while you go to sleep in self-pity. Don't you dare make me write a dream about your dead wife. Love, Your creator.

I'm going to write about Levi now. I know that you'll be upset, but you're just not the person I thought you were. You're mean and vindictive and underhanded...and I don't want to spend any more time with you than I have to. You need to learn to play nice, or just get the heck out of my story.

You're interesting and complex and you have many redeeming qualities which--don't tell her--Reina doesn't have. I believe in you, and you should believe in yourself. You've got this.

Dear Zoe, You know, for someone with all your spunk, education, and smarts, you sure can be a brat. I get it, you've got problems. I know because I gave you spunk, and you turned it into license to be a punk. But that does not mean you get permission to harass Helene! You want someone to take it out on, go back to your love affair. Please, stop turning my FMC into emotional mush because you can't handle how f-ed up you made your own life. Love, Kate L

Dear Kentar, Please don't break out the 'I'd like to see you again' ten minutes after meeting the captain. You know where that line would be really great? At the end of the chapter, after you've gotten to know her a bit. Also, bonding before OH BY THE WAY SO I'M A NOBLEWOMAN AND YOU'RE A CAPTAIN AND WE'RE ON OPPOSING SIDES OF THE WAR. That'd be pretty great too. Annoyed, Me.

Dear Alice, I'm sorry. I know you wanted to be Allen, and that you hate having a girl name, but DEAR GOODNESS, this does not give you the right to change from easily flustered, happy, but possibly tsundere, to an annoying, jerkface that hates the world. YOU CHANGED YOUR OWN NAME. GET OVER IT. And what's up with the fancy, smart people language? You were supposed to be NORMAL. The old-fashioned thing was supposed to be what-her-no-face's thing. You just piss me off. You're just like me when I'm angry, and I HATE THAT. Take some chill pills, EccentricDeary Dear Everyone else, What are your names? Please? I'm sick and tired of referring to you as your Carroll-Counterparts. Also, how did you spontaneously develop the DRRR!! dynamics in the middle of Spanish? Let me enjoy my salsa and burning schools in peace, EccentricDeary

Just because you beat three guys up doesen't mean im impressed with you.

Dear Jennifer, So, here's the problem: you're questioning everything WAY sooner than you were meant to. You were supposed to just sort of go along with Mitch because it was an excuse to get out of the city, and your big "hey, maybe something IS being covered up here" moment wasn't supposed to come until about our halfway point. You, obviously, have other ideas, since you've been questioning everything since before we even got out of the introduction. I mean, it's good that the actual explanation for your situation hasn't come up in your mind yet, but still, I just don't think we can sustain an ENTIRE novel of you going, "They messed with my mind! How can I believe anything now? Must not take anything for granted, must question EVERYTHING!!!" I don't know. Maybe you know something I don't, and it will all work out in the end. But I'm just warning you, in case you're wrong, I foresee a massive change of heart in your future come editing time. Sincerely, Your Author

Dear Cari, Can you behave for like 10 seconds? You started out as the MC's brave, mischievous older cousin, but I didn't expect you would be causing me trouble! You started out as basically an excuse to write some kickass girlpower scenes, but about 500 words into your first scene you announce you're secretly engaged and pregnant with the prince's baby? The prince who didn't actually exist until you said all of this? Please survive the next 9 months. That's all I'm asking. If you can manage to not stir anything else up in those nine months I'll personally guarantee that you, your baby, and your darling Prince survive the book. Love, Kat. Dear Tristan, You're more heroic than I thought you'd be at this point of the book, but you're also, y'know more mortally wounded than I thought you would be at this point in the book. I forbid you to die. Get better soon. Love, Kat.

Dear Toni: You came out of nowhere and suddenly are a big part of the story being Ally's bff. I don't k now what to think of you yet. Dear Rodney: You're a mystery, in the background. Come out please! Dear Allan: You appeared out of nowhere as the ex...will you be back? Are you going to try to win Ally back? You were a jerk. I don't like you.

I mean, you're supposed to be the MC, but Basilia is totally outstaging you atm and kicking ass. Please, get your shit together. your author. Dear Basilia, Ok, i shouldn't be angry with you, cuz really you're carrying this story at the moment, but... you're really not supposed to. you were supposed to be a background character that wold pop up a couple of times to help with some information, but really have no real role in the story. You've been in the story more than Eryr, and that shit ain't cool; he's the 2nd main character- not You! I am sorry but you need to tone down your awesomeness or find a way to co-exist with my mains. Love (cuz i really do) your author. Dear Eryr, WHERE ARE YOU?! Why can't you stay "on screen" for more than a couple of minutes before dashing off leaving poor Basilia to pick up after you and salvage the scene? Nathan is useless and with you constantly missing it really is difficult to make the story progress. And the worst thing is i really think you might be an awesome character... but i don't know do i? CUZ YOU'RE NEVER "ON SCREEN". Please get over your camera shyness. hugs Your author

I can totally picture you doin that- you've reached that level of awesomeness. Please stop, or at least tone it down a bit. D.S.

Are you going to be staying in the band though? Or just a temporary guy that they have to replace at some point? You are giving me a headache and not providing many answers at the moment. Are you even at school today for L + M to talk to you? If you can't talk to them, then at least please talk to me and give me some notice if I'm going to have to re-jig a crucial part of the story. Thanks, The Author. P.S. That Bon Jovi T-shirt you were wearing at the audition looked suspiciously like mine (which actually belongs to my sister). Can I have it back please?

It doesn't fit, and if you don't I'll start following Ri around instead off you. Annoyed, Olilo (P.S. Get a last name, would ya'?) Dear Luca's dad, Sorry you died. That was kind of mean of me. But if you hadn't gotten shot, Luca would never have been set on the path to find his mom! (she might be dead too, but... *shrugs*). I am sorry about that, though. And the fact that you don't have a name yet. I'm sure one will pop up at some point. Much love, despite the fact that you were a terrible father, Olilo (Also, what was on the list? I haven't actually found out yet, and it's kind of the focus of the whole plot. Thanks.)

Dear Nameless Narrator: You're suicidal. But now you're not, since I've given you a reason to live. SO HOW DO I WRITE YOU? I feel like you made a 180 degree personality change. How am I going to write you? I hardly even know you yet. P.S.: You don't know how hard it is to have to keep back from having other characters say your "name" that doesn't exist. D: There goes one way for a word count. Dear Perenna: You are the antihero. The one the reader...erm. We'll leave that detail for later. Spoilers, you know. I love you already, though. Mostly because you're the one with the most backstory I have. Dear Mr. ahahiodfha and Ms. zazazazaza: WHERE ARE YOUR NAMES? I used to have them. I did. But I lost them. Now I have to find you knew ones before you pop in the story! Plus I need a name for your dead partner, the one we'll mention once and then never again. I don't even have names for your spirit familiars. You two are the travelling companions of Nameless Narrator! I should call you the Nameless Trio instead of the Golden Trio. But you two aren't meant to NOT have names! Grrrrrr! Dear Villain: I have your backstory. But again, where is your name? What is your current occupation? When do you come into the story? I know the ending for you. Er, vaguely. But Villain. Please. Be cooperative.

You're kind of 2-D right now, and I don't like having 2-D characters. Flesh yourself out and notify me. Soon, preferably, since you're going to make your appearance sometime within the next few thousand words. I'd appreciate it. Risa Dear Asgier, Get those minions. NOW. This is not a request anymore. This is an order. Risa Dear Narkissa, I hate you already, and you haven't even been introduced yet. That's a problem. I know you want your older brother's attention all to yourself, but that's no reason for you to try to get me to write in a part with you stealing something of Senka's. It's not fair to poor Senka.

Dear Mentor, WHAT?! Again, I repeat. WHAT?! You were supposed to be the friendly, granfather/father-person for the group but now you're turning into a Greek, argumentative, sarcastic badarse... YOU'RE TOO FREAKING OLD TO BE THAT!! You're like... a gazillion years old! You were here for the Old Era, the New Era, and freaking B.C.! You should be dead! But... then there'd be a lot of problems. Still... You're making Cassie do something so that's okay, so I guess I love you. Please tone down your badarse grandpa self... just a bit, but not until you make Cassie come out of her shell. ~ Juliette/Taylor

Dear Kate, Please stop being so cold and angsty. Where did your sense of humor go? I know you're a jaded professional, I know you've had to do things you weren't entirely comfortable with, I know you feel guilty about the death of that girl even though it wasn't really your fault, but this ice queen act....it's not you. Also, I would like to see more evidence that you are, in fact, a competent professional without having to throw in another gratuitous fight scene.

I understand you're only twelve years old and you have a major brother complex and that Cassius' betrayal hurt you, but can you stop thinking about yourself for a second and realize you're not the only one hurting! Stop being such a selfish arse and realize you're becoming a nuisance! How bloody unrealistic is for people to pause in the middle of a BATTLE to chastise/give a pep talk to one of their members. You're gonna get everyone killed! Your character is ruining my writing skills! I've mentioned before that I care about the quality of my writing more than my word count; well you're screwing my quality six times sideways! GET OVER YOURSELF AND LEARN TO FIGHT AS A TEAM! You're not even one of those "I work alone because I'm too cool to work as a team" agents, you're just "my brother betrayed me blah blah blah you'll betray me too blah blah blah I'm just a whiny brat blah blah blah pity me please" agents.

I know ONE of you has invented the other for company but for the love of tea, just let me know which one of you is hallucinating! And while you're at it, have you invented Clara and Sian as well, or are they totally seperate?! With love, Casey. Darling Clara, I do adore writing your past, but could you please stop being so secretive about your present? I love learning about where you've been; but where you are now is a mystery to me other than you're with Snow. -Casey Dear Sian, I just met you, but please tell me: are you even real? Because I really don't think you are, but if December is real maybe you are; and if you're real then Clara's got to be, and I'm just really unsure of who's the crazy one in this situation. Me, probably. Sincerely, Casey.

Dear Nadia, I'm sorry dear, I may have to kill you. See, originally you were just supposed to be the throwaway--a friendly acquaintance that keeps MC (Veronica) from being a friendless loser/jerk. Now you have a crush on Veronica's best friend (Zane) which was all good and fine until he started liking you too and using it against Veronica who he has decided to have a crush on as well. This is not okay. Why are you becoming the driving force behind my novel? Go away! I am giving you an ultimatum: Either go back to being nicey-nice friend or I will kill you. If you go back to being smitten, nice, oblivious, dependable, friend who just smiles a lot and says nice things, I may give you a happy ending. You may even end up with Zane. However, if not, I will make you the terrible tragedy that pushes my characters into action. Sincerely Irritated and Confused, Meiveva Dear Zane, When did you turn into a playboy?! You were supposed to be the socially inept best friend and now you're in love with someone who may or may not end up loving you and the freaking waitress is in love with you and you're using that against the woman you love! What the hell?!?!!! Please, I'm begging you, go back to being socially inept and uninterested in anyone in something anymore than a platonic way. Go back to being the best friend who keeps Veronica in check. You are not planning a wedding. Get over yourself. Sincerely Irritated but still Liking You, Meiveva Dear Veronica, That's it. Everyone else is falling off the edge. It's up to you to hold everything together. Keep on being the kick-ass, socially inept, cynical, sarcastic, cunning bad-ass I know you are. Let it shine, girl. Let it shine. Praying You Can Handle This Dissolving Novel, Meiveva Dear Riley, Dear God, do something interesting! Honestly, all you've done is board a train and sleep on it! You're a freaking sniper, these are supposed to be your moments of glory! Hurry up and shoot someone. Exhausted, Meiveva

Stop being a cardboard cut-out and DO SOMETHING! - AlchemyAndWaffles Dear Teddy, I know that it's been more that eight thousand words now and I still haven't written you in yet. Sorry about that.

You're just a baby after all. Love and kisses - AlchemyAndWaffles Dear Leoa, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS FUN AND INTERESTING, DO SOMETHING WOMAN!

Dear Persephone: I had such high hopes for you. Why do you seem like such a filler character whose sole purpose has been to pad my word count (which, despite your paragraphs full of feeble cries and stumbling around, is still desperately behind where I need to be)? Please stop being such a cute, helpless kitten in distress and grow a purpose. Soon. Dear Ciaran: You're doing well. You're kinda weird, but I like it. Keep up the oddities (but won't you PLEASE let me in on the secret? Why DON'T you sleep on a bed frame like normal people?). And do remember that you and Alexa need to get along in the end. Dear Alexa: You were going to be such a great girl. What happened? The first words out of your mouth, and you've turned into something from Mean Girls!!!! WHYWHYWHYWHY?! I can't even continue writing, I am so perplexed at this 180-degree shift in attitude. Dear Henry: Why exactly do I have you in my story? Are you just a connector between 1983 and 2011? Are you a witness to Tennant Academy's big dark secret? And do you REALLY blow everything up? Dear Jonathan and Mary: Why? Just why? You are the central point in this story. I need you to clue me in as to why the two of you even started this whole cluster-youknowwhat. Dear Me: Learn to time manage. NAO. You have accomplished zip today.

I didn't think I'd get to like you, but I do. Keep at it. Show me more sides of you. I know you've got 'em. ~ SweetJuly Dear Mar, Can I call you that? Well, I really like you, kid. You have quite a nice voice. Keep singing that song of pain. ~ SweetJuly Dear Robin, Not altogether sure I want that to be your name. It seems overdone. Well, I caught a glimpse of you today.

You're either pure evil or the greatest force of good the world has ever known--a sort of side-salad messiah. And trust me, you'll be memorable and important, either way. ~ SweetJuly Dear Thom, You're coming. Be patient. Try to find some way of befriending Mar that doesn't read like some awkward Hollywood-style meet cute. Rock the fingerless gloves.

I like you. ~ SweetJuly Dear IF, That's what I'm calling you--for Ingram Frizer. You think you have a split personality? Well, we'll see. I'm not sure how to write you at all. But I like those initials. You have some lingering potential. Talk to Skeres. Con some people. ~ SweetJuly Dear Marzenna-Leanne, I'm going to make you a snappy Harvard wannabe. But have a quiet side.

What happened to that weird wannabe-bad-boy thing? -Me Dear Damien, So, um, thanks to Toby, you have no characteristics. At least before, you had that whole sweet love interest thing going on...but now, you're just kind of there. I literally have no idea what to do with you. Don't tell Toby, but I kind of like it better this way. It's forcing you to become a person rather than a love interest object. So will you please be a person? -Me Dear Hannah, You're the main character, and I'm still not quite sure about who you are. Look, I know you're shy.

Dear Vividean, When I started this story at your de-coronation, I didn't expect you to be a shallow, naive, self-centered brat. But it happened, so instead of just cutting to a scene two and a half years later where you're all mature and grown-up and meeting the second character in the your gang, I went with it. And now I'm paying for that mistake. Even with all the time-skipping I'm planning on doing with you and your character development, it will be several chapters before I start getting to even the real meat of the story. I can only pray that by the time you reach your teacher, I have figured out which student dislikes you, and why. Irritations, Your Author Dear teacher, Who the heck are you? Animal? Vegetable? Mineral? Elf, Human, or even Orc? Are you a man or a woman? It's really irritating that I have to keep using the word "They" instead of "he/she" in the outline. And you seem to be the eternally calm, quirky wisdom type, so any elaboration on that would be enlightening. Irritations, Your Author P.S What is your name even? I am NOT consulting the name generation again! Rival to FMC, Who are you? I know you dislike my FMC, but why? is she dumb, not deserving of the great master she and you share? if her view of the world worthless? WHY DO YOU THINK ALL THIS?!?!

Dear Serapris, Okay, I know you're supposed to be kind of an ass - no, make that a huge ass - but can you stop being quite so violent? I know, I know, you're a slaver; it's sort of your job to beat slaves. And I know that you're a pretty cold, callous, unattached guy, so the fact that you're kind of secretly in love with this girl is probably not going over too well in your head. And yes, I know that because you're a human and she's not, that sort of thing is super forbidden. So you've got a bit of a tough lot. But do you have to beat the living s**t out of her in every scene? In the first scene, you gave her a concussion and broke two ribs; in the second, you dislocated her arm and ripped half the skin off her back. I'm afraid to write the next scene because I'm worried you might just kill off my MC! I know you're angry and all, but can we cut down on the abuse a little? Thanks, Dani

Dear Lauren, When I asked you to please, for the love of all that's holy, to get out of my scene, I did NOT mean for you to do it by throwing pants at the main character and telling him to get the hell out of your house. But hey, thanks for leaving the scene. -katie

Dear Echo, I already love you and you haven't even shown up yet. You're going to be the comic relief in the story, I can tell. :) You need to start showing up. Otherwise, this story would be too dark and philosophical and whatnot. Sincerely, A. Dear Vivi, I think you're getting a little too much spotlight here, even though you're going to be pretty significant later on. It's not your fault, though. You haven't even talked as much in the story like Hima does and Hima already has too much spotlight. Sincerely, A. Dear Scherzo, Why are you so mean to Krystal? D: Please be a little more nicer. Sincerely, A. Dear Chyara, You're so cool, even though I originally meant for you to be a magical talking rabbit at first. Now I think you're more suitable as a young girl. Sincerely, A.

Dear Private Briar, why do you keep trying to become some major character? your only supposed to be the thing Lisa talks to about the zombies. and why are you so comfortable with Lisa crying and hugging you so much? your supposed to be part of the army. shouldn't you be at least a little awkward with all the touching and crying? please just listen to me, Vicky

Especially the three thousand dedicated to that accident on Dream Team. And those were well-written words, too. ;A; Dear Onew, You did not have to leave your personality outside the novel.

It'd be nice if you could stop smiling and laughing so much. Thanks, Brittany Dear Liona, Please explain why you won't eat pork, why you assume all new people are communists, and why you won't speak about your father.

Dear Cat, You're a lovely character to write for, honestly. You've got all the right attributes I want for my main character and you're easy to write for. However.... this is supposed to be a paranormal romance and so far you've barely talked to the man you're supposed to be having the romance with. Which makes this a very romanceless romance. So maybe you could actually call the guy? Dear Kevin, You are supposed to be the romantic lead and you haven't done anything romantic at all. You've barely said two words to Cat. Mysterious is all well and good, but you're pissing me off. Seriously, I may have to smack you around some.

Becks, stop being so angry. I understand your dad's dead, your brothers (how the heck did you get two) are in trouble and that your mother is an evil b. Still it doesn't give for you to turn on Cassie. Cassie why the heck are you rescuing all these people? You're a member of a crime organization. Mostly, what the heck is going on in your world? You two make me so confused and I had no choice but to abandon you. Becks, this is Tasha's story. Cassie, be something more than a background. Your very confused and frustrated author, Kat Dear Nicholas, Where did you come from? Your character is completely unnecessary and I am so confused. What was your motive for kidnapping Tasha? And you didn't even hold onto her for long. What am I going to do with you? Like your sister, you are just plain trouble. So Nick, help an author out, give me one reason to keep you. Thinking of deleting you, Kat Dear Orchid, I love you. I need to write more scenes with you and do a build up. However, as I have no idea what my plot or even conflict is that might be a problem. Love, Kat Dear Falling Snow, Finally, someone who makes Tasha fight for herself. However, you can't go from not caring to thinking of Tasha as your little sister in three seconds flat. Give me more to work with. Half-pleased, Kat

Dear Sagittarius, I know you're busy traveling the world and making glass for a living and that's completely fine with me but if you have the time can you give me a name or something to call you other than Sagi? I mean you basically are the turning point of my very plot and you have no name. Even your tourmentee Gem I has a name and you know how much I love him. So if you find the time.Stop by my house and tell me your name for all that is holy! Love, Rone P.S Can you ask Aquarius for her name too because I know you use to live together and don't even try denying you were friends cause I have proof. See you for tea.

Dear Keli, I'm gonna really need you to hurry up and grow up. This whole past thing is getting too far behind. You need to be older so that I can move thins along. Don't you wanna meet Alister? Yeah, I bet you do. You need to find him so you can destroy anyone who tries to step out of bounds. So, do me a favor and let's skip about five more years, okay? I promise we'll get your past so we know why you're so upset and why you're running away...What I didn't tell you, you'd be running away from home? Oh, hush, you'll do fine! ^-^ Love, ninja_monkey P.S...If you could perhaps let us know how you feel about your mom pampering you so much, that would be great. That's kinda important and you're not staying still long enough for me to show it. So calm down, Key-Lime Pie =)

My Desk Is a Door — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 07:38:37 +0200

Dear Elizabeth, OK, I like you, but I don't know that anybody else is going to like you. Your sister Margaret was the one that was the least fleshed out before we started, but now she's the most fun to write. I really don't want you to come off as a prig. And everybody knows you are shy and hesitate when you put your thoughts into words. So when you do say something can you at least say something really insightful or pithy or something? Also, you need to talk about yourself a bit, because you are supposed to be the main character, you know, the heroine of your own life, and live to the very end of this story even though practically everyone else dies! So if all you know how to do is sit around discussing all the other characters, we are going to have a problem. You have got to have something of your own to concentrate on. I need you to talk, but if I let you talk too much about your sisters and their boyfriends you will give everything away, because your instincts are right on. That's part of what's cool about you, your instincts and your insights. But what about you? Don't you want something for yourself besides reading books and being left alone with your thoughts? I even like writing about Eleanor better than you and I didn't like her much at all when we started. It's strange. Your sisters have obvious flaws and yet I like them anyway. Even your mom is a much better mom than I would have thought. You're lucky to have her. I guess I should give you a break since you are only 10 years old. Maybe that's what I'm missing. You are only 10 years old and you have a wonderful mom who actually gets you (and here I thought nobody would get you at all). You're happy with things the way they are and you don't want anything to change, but your oldest sister is getting married in days, and you know you'll be married off too as soon as you are of age. You know you can't stop time. So what do you want bad enough to fight for, Miss Elizabeth? You may not like conflict, you may have your own ways of dealing with it, but I know you have strong opinions about what you want your life to be. Just because you're an introvert doesn't mean you are a pushover. And nobody craves justice more than a young person. Show us some of that idealism! What are you dreaming about? And how do you plan to make it happen? Sincerely, The person who will ruin it all for you. P.S. Really. You shouldn't trust me with your most cherished hopes, because this is not a happy book. But you are the one who survives, you are the only one who salvages some kind of life out of all this mess. I'll do the best I can by you, I promise. If nothing else, I'll understand, and that may be the best you can hope for. It's not nothing. Write me a letter and bury it underground. I'll be there to dig it up in 700 years.

Now I'm starting to like you again, and I hope you keep getting better and don't revert back to shallow and horrible. Still, I know the hardest part is yet to come, so please get a firm grip. I don't want to hate you again. You just need to get past this first speed-bump, and then I think you'll have a chance at becoming a really great character. Hang in there! Sincerely, Your Creator

Dear Rhun, Who are you? Well, I know who you are. You're a soldier who works for Gerard and just saved young Nilda's life. However, you have not been in my character notes. You were supposed to be a random soldier who died in the fall of New Valley. Now that you've survived and decided to become Nilda's permanent bodyguard, I've got no clue what to do with you. Dear Leila, I appreciate how much you've grown as a character. You've really gone from simply "Yohan's Gerard's wife, raises Gad amongst the nomads" to someone really dynamic. I feel horrible to have spent so much time getting the readers attached to you in this first section, only to begin section two with your death. But that's how the plot goes, try not to hold it against me. Dear Deodar, While I've enjoyed setting up your obsession with the destruction of Sard, you're becoming both a bit more sympathetic and a bit more psychotic than was intended. I think people might actually start to like you a little, except for your habit of acting upon homicidal ideations. I mean, was it really neccessary to kill the medic and midwives? And then combined in the same scene as a rather tender goodbye to your deceased infant daughter? So far you've made it work, but be careful not to come across like someone with multiple personalities. Concerned, Your Novelist

Please don`t be such a "galeb".... *frown* Dear Nela, I still think you are not villain-ish enough :( Or maybe too much.

Because I jumped to the break up scene, and I know I'm missing several thousand words right in the middle. And I don't want to just scratch your blasted plan, because it works for the plot. So, get your plot in order, pretty please, because I don't need another reason to hate you. -Rogue

But thanks for finally deciding whether you and your subplot were actually going to be in this book. That shouldn't have taken so long. ...Wait, what the heck do you mean you're still not positive?! Just because you're the potential love interest doesn't mean I can't kill you off. Love interest status is not immunity status. And I'd love to have Acelin just beat you to a pulp, because Acelin and I? We understand each other. Heartlessly, L Dear Acelin, Thanks for elucidating what exactly the Chevaliers' birthright magic is. And the price you lot pay for it. You're cool. Friends?

But you've got new friends (even if you don't want to admit it) and the three of you are going to do great things. Adam, you jerk...

True, it was good for my word count, so thanks for that, but I hate when you distract your sister and make it take lines of useless dialogue to get to describing her. She IS the main character so she is kind of important. Although I have to forgive you though, since you supplied the phrase 'whacking spoon' and made me giggle. Kookaburra Dear Aarlu, Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for offering up your younger self for a story instead of making me write a plot I was starting to hate.

Kookaburrra Dear Kiva, You have the awesomest dragon in the entire story after Aarlu. You should be pround even if I AM overhauling your entire character arc into what I orginally wanted.

Dear Gareth, Yet again you reek of awesomesauce. Yes, I realize it was a bit of an unrealistic scene, but you are in a world full of magic users and enhanced humans. And you have had training since you were little. So stop being emo and accept your title of awesome. You might not get another chance once the main character starts getting his moments. Oh, and sorry for the earlier lacerations. The plot demanded that you crash into the trees. Kiss Kiss, DCJ Dear Ross, Ok, sorry, I gave you two patients, and I totally skipped over a fight scene of yours. I would have gone into the details had it been your turn in the perspective schedule, but it wasn't. Don't worry though, you'll have your fist-fighting action revealed to the reader eventually. Just try not to experience an early unscheduled death mkay? Oh, and try not to overexert yourself. We don't need three main characters unable to use magic at the same time just yet. And try to decide what your height is gonna be. I just can't keep referring to you as "big guy" or "that tall man". Hugs, DCJ Dear Orion, I know you've been dead a long time and you're a spirit, and that you must be bored there in solo purgatory, but that doesn't mean you have to team up with the plot to reveal every single plot point to the MC in excruciating detail, especially when he's trying to sleep. I will invent a fantasy-type ghostbusters group if you keep acting up. Love, DCJ Dear Jace, aka MC, MAN UP DAMMIT. I keep feeling like you're the girl, what with the overly masculine healer and the more-awesome-than-you assassin saving your butt all the time. Yeah, I know it's partially my fault, but seriously. -_- Heal up and start kicking ass already, you're in the book for a reason. Also, try not to die too early in the book. I mean the MC isn't as replaceable as the SMC's, after all. No Love, DCJ

I was just going to forget that the landlady gave you a letter, but then I decided to do something different this year and let the characters (i. e., you and your little friends) have some freedom. That means that when you want to get a letter from somebody and then you do, and when you decide that the letter should have bad news in it and it does, and when you want to get put in the spotlight and you actually get put in the spotlight, it's time for you to shine, NOT! FREEZE! UP! Who is the letter from? Is it from Hanratty? Who is Hanratty, anyway? Does this have something to do with those letters at the beginning of the story?* If it does, what does it have to do with them? Did something happen to the guy who was going to mail your letter? TALK TO ME. That's an order, soldier! With quickly declining patience, AJ * Not writing back is very rude, by the way.** ** Also, you were supposed to be illiterate. Way to put the kibosh on that great scene I had all planned. Jerk.*** *** And save some slang for Alec, darn you! ------------------------------------------------------ Dear Eliot's friends, Don't worry, eventually Eliot will either start singing and dancing in the spotlight, he'll pass out from shock, or a giant hook will show up to yank him from center stage.

I don't mind the fact that you two have apparently taken over a story that was supposed to be about a team of five people, but I would have liked to know in advance. And I know that by the end of the novel you two will have an exceedingly close bond, but did you have to get it already more than half developed within TWO DAYS of meeting each other?! You two just keep throwing curve balls at me from left field, informing me of other things from your past that are incredibly painful and emotional for the both of you. This is a Supernatural genre novel, but it's secondary genre was SUPPOSED to be COMEDY! At least D.G., Chuck and Glitch are picking up that part, but the only jokes you've made were morbid. Let's have some time to relax now please. I'll even throw in that one scene in the alley way sooner than I'd planned. Just please cooperate with me now. Pretty please. I'm tired of feeling like I've just been through the emotional equivalent of a rollercoaster that keeps spiraling downwards. Yours, KR

I know what you are really like, so stop trying to tame it for my sake. MB Dear Loki, Shut up. You're a SLAVE! I love you dearly, but Aiden is the MC. And start acting cute again, I liked that. MB Dear technology/ship/whatever you are: Please apply some magical handwaveum and make yourself work. Do your job. Whether it be transportation, devices or the like. Research yourself. Thank you in advance, MB Dear brothers: Please give me your names. And your interests. You've made yourself vaguely formed, but you need to grow wings kids! Please do so soon. I would be willing to stage an interview with you (individually if you want), but please start talking. MB Dear Dr. Latoya: Hai! I know your important! Don't worry, Aiden and (del)torture(del) lots of fun are coming! MB

I NEVER WANTED YOU TO BE LIKE THIS! Please grow a pair and don't force me to kill you off. - Jasmin Dear Abigail: Please stop acting like an angsty teenager. You're a mostly grown-up woman and it's not so hard to write a 500 word column. Also, stop falling for Landen so easily, it's pathetic. -Jasmin

Please develop a less shallow personality... you were supposed to be cute, not annoying. Dear Tristan, I love you. Seriously, you're the reason I'm writing this damn thing. But um, could you please let me know what you do all day, being a prince and all? Any hobbies? Girlfriends? kthnxbai.

Dear Alex, I get that your parents suck, and I get that you're gay, but please stop harping on about it. You're so very dry as you are right--please become more interesting! Dear Jerry, Please rename yourself. I really don't like your name, and I'm not even sure why I chose it. You and Alex also both need to swear less and use the words "dude" and "bro" less. Seriously. Dear Linda, You're my favorite character right now, simply because you're both hilarious and a badass. More single parents need to have your personality. Dear Sarah, Stop hiding in a corner and actually do something! You're like freaking Hamlet! On the other hand, it's rather amusing that you're reading Hamlet in English class. Actually, that's pretty cool. But still, you're so annoyingly devoid of hope--stick up for yourself a bit and do more than just appear flustered while reading books out loud. Dear Marc and Lori, I hate you. Make me hate you more. Anger is good.

Dear Pol, I know I told you this morning that you would eventually have to decide if you were going to get married or remain a bachelor for the rest of your life. I didn't mean you had to spend the rest of my morning shooting me descriptions and names of the woman (Women? As in, more than one? No way, buster!) you want. I have to work! Yes, work is boring, but without this job I have to find one that leaves me a lot less time to write about you. Speaking of writing about you, you are NOT the main character in this book. Maybe one day I'll get around to writing the story about you and your brother, but for now you're just supposed to be there as part of the supporting cast. Please keep that role in mind. We'll get to you and your love interest(s) soon enough. Dear Tal, Would you please tell your brother to get a grip? You're the married one of the pair, and I expect better of you. I love the both of you very much, but Pol is going to find himself in a sticky situation if he keeps this up. Dear Kash, I am so sorry for what you've been through. I promise that this is going to get fixed for you. Thank you for being so cooperative.

Dear Sarai, It'd be great if you were more interesting, and less of an obnoxiously quizzical plot-pusher person. You are, after all, my main character. It'd be nice if you said something that didn't end with a question-mark. Dear Oliver, I know you don't have the best name in the world, but please just roll with it in the first draft. Stop trying to make me call you Misha. It's sort of creepy to name your character after the actor you've mentally cast to play him - it makes the whole process slightly less mysterious and more desperately fangirly. Dear Jared, You're the only character I'm happy with. Have a gold star, you curly-haired sociopath. Love you all, you miserable bastards, Das

Dear Apollo, Stop going by that ridiculous name and just let your wife call you Lee. You can't stop her, you know that. Also, you might want to explain to her how much trouble the both of you will be in if you are ever discovered before you can travel out of there. Take her with you, because I love Rose and do not want her to get killed. Stop being a mysterious douche, or I will have your wife start a douche jar, like on New Girl. It'll be full in a day, and you will be very, very broke. The mysterious part is kind of sexy, though. I do not care if you do not want to look like Darren Criss, because I write you, and in my head you look like him. End of story, no matter how much you want to be blonde like Jamie Bamber/Lee Adama. Keep up the sexy! Your author

Dear Jathe, You are not supposed to love Linaria! ...At least, not yet. You're actually supposed to hate her right now, which makes for an interesting heel-face-turn later on when you realize you love her, but can't be with her. Your character is meant to develop later because plot relies on it. STOP GETTING AHEAD OF ME, GAH. Getting angry with you, Raventail Dear Rythen, Oh, good, you've managed to get kidnapped quite nicely. And Jathe doesn't particularily like you, so that's good. Tell your brother to remember his name so I can remember it! But more importantly, how did you stage your own kidnapping? The sooner I know, the better - we need that for the big reveal that you're actually the villain. What wrong are you committing, anyway? And remember - you're still in love with Linaria. It's not dramatic if her fiance is the villain but he never loved her. It's much better if her fiance is the villain and he's still in love with her. See how this works? internal conflict. Yes please. Still appeased with you, Raventail Dear Linaria, OH GOD, WHY ARE YOU SUCH A MARY SUE. STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. I will have to make new characters not instantly like you like everyone else does. And you're NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PERFECT, PLEASE BE SLIGHTLY MORE OF A SPOILED BRAT, OR BAD AT SOMETHING, or something. Pleeeaaaasssseeeeeeeeee! Really frustrated, Raventail Dear Sedge, You're not in the story yet, and therefore, you haven't betrayed me yet like most of the others have. I love you the most. I've also decided you're secretly a woman. I've also accepted some novel dares for you, so don't hate me when you suddenly have an imaginary friend AND an imaginary family. Please try to keep the others in line because, aside from the imaginary relationships type thing, you're the most down to earth character I've got. Please save my plot. Heck, just GIVE me a plot. Sincerely and desperately, Raventail

Dear Cain, Quit smoking! I can't think of enough ways to describe the act of smoking without repeating the same ominous phrases again and again. It's good for my word count but bad for my sanity. Okay? Thanks. Yours, Chloe. Wow, it feels like talking to actual people; asking them to change aspects of themselves that I created. But in true Nanowrimo style I refuse to turn back and change who I've written them to be, I'll just have to withstand it for a little longer.

Dear James, You are confusing and when I switch to a different first person you switch personalities. This is irritating me. One minute you are a guru dispensing advice, the next you're the suspicious and sort of useless professor. Choose please. Yours, the Author Dear Erin, Holy attitude change, Batman. You got vicious for a bit there. You're supposed to be an aspiring doctor, not someone who creates their patients. But aside from the fact that you evidently have Manic-Depressive disorder or some such, you are appropriately snarky. Thank you. Yours, the Author Dear Hollow, You rock, you suspicious son of a biscuit. Now just refrain from killing James once you meet him in roughly three paragraphs. You'll be glad of it later. Also, you let Dustin walk all over you, even if he did have a point. He just acts all crumnple-y and you completely fold. You're basically his big brother - you can give him some tough love! Yours, the Author Dear Dustin, Your conscious is going to get you in trouble soon. You do know this, right? Just the same, thank you for convincing Hollow to bring along that old couple. He should not be allowed to devolve into the cruel pragmatist he might become if left to his own devices. Yours, the Author

Dear Alistair, Nice mental break down...I didn't know we would be doing therapy in this chapter just because someone said that you could be a good person. Also, you creeped out the fallen angel and he's probably going to apologize for even trying to help you since you insist on being so miserable. I don't even know how you'll manage to drag your ass out of bed to make it to the scenes that happen soon after this one. Good luck, J

Dear Sors and Rediculus, Please stop writing slashfic of each other and everybody else. I don't appreciate the innuendos when I'm trying to write supposedly-normal scenes, thanks, and even though harassing Collin is good, there's a certain point you have to stop at. Also, why do you two always act like a single entity when you're together? Or is that just how Collin views you? Anyway, I know the stuff right now is dead boring, but, don't worry, you'll get the chance for some real plot progression sometime soon (hopefully). Much love, xiy -- Dear Characters in General, Stop writing fanfic of yourselves. It's really not flattering when I'm trying to establish your canon in the first place. And, yes, so far the only actual pairing is Ethan/Sara. Get over it. xiy -- Dear Tory, Sorry I changed your name. But if I hadn't, there would've been too many names ending in 'n' and that just isn't right. Know that I will include a Flynn some other time in some other story. And anyway, Victoria is a good name, and now you match with your sister. :D love (and apologies), xiy

It's nice to see you welcome the older kids with such formality, but when you say "I'm sorry to hear about what happened at the Third Academy" what exactly are you talking about? Because while I suspect it explains the random transfer of students, I'm really not clear on this particular point. Would you mind filling me in, maybe? Thanks. -B

I cannot like you or your world. You have given me nothing to work with and I have already spent four out of seven days not writing because I cannot stand you. You have to be rescued. You have to have it the easy way. Everything I toss at you leaves you unmovable. Well cupcake, this is the end. I backed up your story and then deleted it from my hard drive. It's going into the slush pile along with my other ideas. If I get back to...I'm not planning on it for at least another year. So good luck in life, Kat

I mean, you've spending every single day together for a million years, you should AT LEAST know something is up by now.

I really need to know. Dear Jacqueline, You were an unexpected character, created as my novel became more complex. Your abilities are perfectly suited for the story, and your personality would make a nice contrast with the main and secondary characters. So, why are you just leaning over my shoulder, watching me write? When are you going to insert yourself in the story? Dear Greg, Dude, talk to me! So far you are a type, not a full character.

Less reveling and more hating yourself and Cain, please. You'll get to revel plenty in the next five or so so chapters. Patience is a virtue. Love, the flipr kid Dear Cain, Knock it the hell off! Yes, you're a main character and also the steady good guy, but seriously! Back off a bit! You're taking over the whole bloody book at this rate! I have thought this all out very carefully. Stop stealing my dear Ned's roles. Don't make me kill you off. *warning glare* Love, the flipr kid Dear Andrea, Why do you always turn out better in my head than you do on the computer? You are showing up to be a very 2D lady. A nice 2D lady, but very 2D all the same. So. I am pleased to tell you that I've just written in a huge stash of unused weaponry for you to train with at your leisure, and a boy behind a dumpster for you to adopt. A really nice boy. Also...Cain's going to get you pregnant. Might want to be ready for that. Love, the flipr kid Dear Miles, You are the bad guy. This has not yet been established. Please let me know why you are the bad guy and what exactly the vampires are offering you? And what is it that will make everyone hate you? Because yes, they will hate you. Sorry 'bout that. Love, the flipr kid Dear Bram, What the heck is your role in all of this? I would very much appreciate it if you would tell me. I'm at a loss here. Love, the flipr kid Dear Grant, Uh, you too. What are you doing here? Why did I even write you? Love, the flipr kid

Dear Abby, This is, like, the millionth time I've written this scene. I seem to remember that when I wrote this scene in the 2008 novel, it was on my 10k day. Maybe we could do that again? Or maybe not? :-P It really is a shame I don't get to write more about you. You're honestly one of my favourite characters - but because you died at the end of the first book, so you obviously weren't in the sequels, you haven't had as much chance for character development as characters who have been in 4 different novels. Also, your relationship with Damien is interesting. I always thought you and Lu were soulmates or something, but Irealise that Damien loved you too. And don't get me started on David. ;-P Love, Faye xxx G, SOOOOOOOOOON. Love, Faye xxx

I'm sorry that she doesn't want your help and that she relentlessly uses you. But I made it up to you with your kickass family, right? And you get the girl in the end... ...please don't hate me.

And now I can't write fluffy scenes anymore! Gosh. Your writer/creator, Atsu Dear Seb, Will you PLEASE find something else to do other than angst about James?!? You two were supposed to be comic relief, honestly! Alfie's getting worried! Your writer/ creator, Atsu Dear Alfie, I'm sorry that I've made you do so much stuff. And I'm sorry I'm going to make more of your friends die soon. Please don't hate me because your world needed a revolution! Your writer/creator, Atsu Dear Lettie, You were not supposed to be a grumpy person who makes everything difficult. You were supposed to be happy. Can't you just like, I don't know, suddenly have a personality change and be happy again? Your writer/creator, Atsu Dear Mikey, I'm having a little bit of trouble finding out exactly who you are, so maybe if you could, I don't know, tell me more about yourself? Or, you know, your age?

But dude, when I get to your death scene, I'm going to have a party. >=D I just thought I'd let you know that I despise you so. I don't think I've ever hated any character in one of my books as much as I hate you, Bismuth. Not much thanks, Your Unfortunate Creator (Calista)

Dear Chris, I'm very sorry that I had to kill you off. But it made more sense that you died instead of living, because when I tried that you were weird and boring. Only I killed you before you had enough personality, so now I have no idea why anyone liked you in the first place, so you are apparently still weird and boring. Stink. Love, Me

Keeping some meds on hand for you, ~Carnie~ Dear Pony-Who-Doesn't-Have-A-Name-Yet-But-Is-Shaping-Up-To-Be-A-Pain-In-The-Butt-Mary-Sue, Stop being so cliche. Seriously, stop it. I have high hopes for you, and you're kind of important to the plot, and I know you're the result of a monstrously-powerful dream highway manifestation of Princess Luna and all, but you [i]cannot[/i] keep nancing around, being the stereotypical 'Dark Is Not Evil chick with a dark past who is a little cold and emotionless but gets better.' That's not what I want from you, and I really hope we can get it worked out before you actually show up on-screen. Willing to work with you on this Mary-Sue business, ~Carnie~

If so, do share it. If not, why? I know you're supposed to be a ninja, but you could be a LITTLE less mysterious. Ryuu, I love you, man. Stay the way you are, and we'll get along just fine. Masato, Why are you so bipolar? It's really hard to write about you because I have no clue what you'll do next. Are you kind and compassionate, or indignant and cruel? Behave, please.

D: Malcolm and Jack are less scary and they're the bad guys here! What is wrong with you? You had better shape up and be nice or I'm writing all the coffee out this novel, and we'll get to see how well you function without caffeine. I'll do it, don't think I won't!! And my god, the profanity...I have no words. I'm getting you a dictionary app for your phone, you obviously need lessons on expressing yourself in ways that don't involve four letter words. My Novel is labeled NSFW because of you and your cursing. Thanks a lot. Shape up or suffer the consequences. I am this close to bringing in a new character who's sole purpose in life is to follow you around and kick you every once in a while. Other than that you're doing great!!

Dear Cynthia, I hoped you enjoyed dying alone and demented. After letting your servants raise your beautiful, intelligent daughter, you deserve to not see her before you make your journey into Hell. You may not have reserved jail time for the pain you caused her, but Satan will ensure you pay. Also, I would've killed you sooner, such as in a random explosion on page 2, but I wanted you to suffer. I wanted you to lose everything, and you did. I hope you're happy with your decisions, because I am certainly happy with mine. Sincerely, Apocalypticangel47 --- Dear Toni, You are so gorgeous in my head. When I can return to my novel after my papers are done, I'm going to have you marry me, because I deserve a man like you. You'll come home covered in flour and smelling like you teleported straight from Little Italy, but it's okay. Someone will have to scrub you clean, and I certainly don't mind being that person. Also, thank you for being there for your cousin. It's sweet how close you two are, like a brother and sister, separated only by a small line on your family tree. I hope we can have that kind of bond, but it's okay if you only share that connection with her. She needs it more than I do...and it makes for a stronger plot when the MC has a good friend to rely on. Stay sexy, Apocalypticangel47

You were supposed to talk about serious things, plot related things, not starting making out. You've only just met after all. So please, allow your relationship to develop a little more before you start spouting off marriage proposals. Or, at the very least, don't interact for a few chapters so that I can make up some sort of sane and rational situation where you would have done what you did. I Hate You Guys, A.S/L.H

You're the flipping main character, I need to know how you think! Also, man, what the fuck was that with Caroline? You don't go around rubbing on people's face that you discovered the crapstorm of their past because they let slip a bit of information, you jerk. But do not stop that. It added a really neat tension to the whole thing....You know, as much confusing as I made your history looks like, you're starting to grow on me. Keep it up, but stop changing your mind already. Dear Caroline; Girl, stop being such a jerk to Eyero. He's an idiot, but he's also the only person around that's your age and NOT part of a sort of mafia. I don't care if you will date him or not - I don't plan on letting you do that, you better have a really good reason if it happens - but ASK FOR HELP! I need to get the plot going! Besides, you're going to owe him a big one later on the history, so you might want to make sure he won't take advantage of that. Sorry for your dad, by the way. -Sefton

Take a page from Tanaren's book and do some breathing exercises or something. Then stop and think once in a while. For not being affected by magic, you sure are susceptible to compulsion. Please try not to do anything too stupid. Worried, Caity -- Dear Ethenah, Pick one. Either you speak coherently, or you babble nonsensically, but please try not to do both. It's really difficult to keep track of you. Besides, it only stresses out your boyfriend, and he already freaks out enough over you as it is.

Dialogue is nice and easy coming from you, but you are doing a number on my word count.

People who are lonely and alone still feel and do things. Feel and do something!!!! If you want to be ambivalent, own it! With like ACTIONS. Its okay to make choices and to feel emotions outwardly. Witty repartee, which you are so good at, won't make up for your lack of soul. Go meditate on the beach for a while and get back to me... Disappointed but hopeful, ILoveKeithRichards - - - - - - - Dear Ben, You're kinda a jerk, but that's okay, I like you that way. Its just the kind of sexy I wanted you to be, yet bad enough that I still (love to) hate your guts. You straddle that line well. Keep it up. You are important and so is your tension. Your books have cool names. I want to read them... or write them. :3 I'm still looking for the chink in your armor... the soft spot. Show me it. Mostly Pleased, ILoveKeithRichards - - - - - Dear Tim and Dorothy, Where are you? Shouldn't you have shown up by now? If you haven't, this is going to be a long book. Crash the party, already! Sending out a Search Team, ILoveKeithRichards - - - - - - Dear Steven, Why are you so obsessed with whether or not everyone else is writing? Have *you* been hitting your words per day? I'm guessing not... I don't really like you. I want to, though. I'll try to write you a nice side if we ever escape from this unending party!

And by the way, quit it with the bipolar mood swings, you're freaking me out. By the way, why do you hate Kevin? I mean, I know he tripped you, but that isn't really a good reason to declare war. Wondering whether or not to send you to a counselor, Your Author (I kinda didn't realize that my username and main character were the same name..oops. I promise, Ebony isn't my actual name, so I'm not trying to stick myself in the book or anything ^_^) --------------------------- Dear Austin, I created you to be a minor character. Keyword: minor. Stop trying to be a major character wannabee. Oh and that potential crush you got on Ebony? It's got to go, you can't have her, and I don't want to write a love triangle. Begging, Your Author ---------------------------- Dear Kevin, You do realize you're supposed to become decent later on? And that being all sorts of nasty kind of makes that a little hard? I have no idea why you hate Ebony, anyway. Why? She didn't do anything! Hoping that you'll see the light, Your Author P.S: Could you tell me a bit more about your parents? They're not talking to me at the moment. ----------------------------------- Dear Jake, You're supposed to be lazy! Ebony calls you a lazy bum! Why aren't you being lazy? That's, like, one of the keypoints to the story! You gotta be lazy, please? - Your Author P.S: Do you have a crush on Ebony? Because you do realize that you're not allowed to, right? You're supposed to be her surrogate brother, not a love interest. And what were your parents like? They can't really tell me because they're dead. --------------------------------------------- Dear Kara, You're supposed to a sarcastic, grumpy, grouchy girl. Where in that description did you see "Have a sense of humor and act confused around weird people"? It doesn't make sense! You haven't said a single sarcastic thing in your entire introduction! Follow the script here! - Your Author P.S: Who are your dorm mates? ------------------------------------------ Dear Antagonists, Who are you and why are you stalking Ebony? Please provide a list of your names and motivations. -Your Author ------------------------------------------ Dear Government, What exactly happened in the world, politically? I'm kind of ignorant about these matters. -Your Author ------------------------------------------- Dear Ms. Laura Wilson, Why're you working for the bad guys again? You're supposed to be a sweet woman! -Your Author

I didn't really see it coming this soon, either. Whoops. - Me

Dear Jaden, Yes, bluntness is one of your major traits; however, "blunt" does not equal "acting like an insensitive jerk to everyone." Please keep this in mind the next time you find yourself interacting with another human being, and try not to insult them too personally. Dear Logan, I'm sorry that I don't know how to write properly from the perspective of a mostly-blind person. Dear Rebecca, You weren't supposed to be this annoying. When did you decide to start acting like a spoiled, stuck-up brat? This wasn't how I imagined your character to be; please stop making me want to kill you before the bad guys even show up. Dear Stephen, You're a boring character and I'm sorry for not making you more interesting. With love, Your Author.

In what I've written so far of chapter five? Yeah. This is how you're supposed to be, and not the sarcastic git you were in chapter two. Please stay this way. - Annamarie Dear Stacy, Thank you. You are exactly who you are supposed to be. - Annamarie Dear Tulbra, When you show up, you better be as bada$$ as I'm expecting, or Stacy will kill you very embarrassingly instead of just a normal stab through the heart or whatever. - Annamarie

I don't care if he was with five girls in a hot tub while you were at work, I don't care if he had his tongue down that one girl's throat, I wouldn't care if he suddenly turned into a moose. Do you know why? BECAUSE YOU ARE DATING CARLOS. We all know he's a jerk. You were supposed to tolerate it until at least page 60. Now what the hell am I supposed to do with you?

Hugs and Kisses a thousand times over, Marina ♥ Dear Tristan, You're an arrogant jerk and I hate you. Why'd you punch Dylan? He's going to rip you apart. You're not gay enough. Act more like Oliver. You're stupid.You almost got Oliver killed. I can't even stand you right now, you are the most ANNOYING character I have ever had to write about. I hate you. You need to get your act together big time. When the hell are you going to make a move so you and Oliver can get together? Oliver's obviously not going to do it.

Besides, Nathan's going to get even more irritable at losing his best friend, and well I can't have BOTH my MCs losing their best friends in this. Love- Me Dear Nathan, Please please please figure out where you are. It's 4am in the middle of December. You cannot be walking through Vermont all night without frostbite unless we mention warming spells. I'm not prepared for that level of detail right now. Can't you do something logical, like oh I don't know, go inside a building somewhere? Maybe a Denny's? I'll go with Denny's, or Perkins. Either one. I'll even ply you with coffee. For the love of all that's good and holy, Me Dear Dan, Please make it clear to Marlowe that he's not to go vigilante on you. You're the vigilante. Remember? Not yours, Author Dear Editor, I promise your day will come. It will even come relatively soon! Just...not til December. Thank you. Me

XXOO, SoVeryWrite [/quote] Dear Greg, Hi. It's me again. I could not remember your last name. At first I thought my memory lapse was due to your not letting me into your head. Then, I found the paper I wrote your last name on, and realized your last name is very forgettable. My bad. That said, if you had opened up to me earlier, I would have realized sooner how much the surname I chose does not work for your character. We've both made mistakes. What's say we start over. I'll give you a new, more appropriate surname, and you will let me get to know you. I'll bake you cookies ... XOXO SoVeryWrite

Shape up or we'll see how unkillable you really are. Nylaba Dear Red Crow I understand that you've been disowned by your tribe and have disowned them in turn, but if you could show a little more "Indian-ness" that would be great. Other than that keep up the good work! Nylaba Dear Stanton I need to see that deadly streak I know you have.

Breir. I love you and all, but you are such an arrogant jackass. Which is fine, really. I think it fits very well. However, you are not supposed to be just an arrogant jackass. You are supposed to be evil. You should be murderating and torturing and kicking puppies into other puppies for fun. You are a drow assassin, and you *haven't killed anyone*. START DOING IT. Also, while I'm fine that you are being a creepy stalker, as you are supposed to fall in creepy stalker love with Allista, you can't just sell her into slavery! It means I need to get her out! And you need to follow her. Which you can't do IF YOU SOLD HER INTO SLAVERY, YOU JACKASS. And Allista! You! You were supposed to be this super awesome swordsman. But...you haven't done anything either. Are you sure you know how to hold a sword properly? (Hint: Pointy end goes in the enemy. I hope that isn't too hard to grasp.) Also, do something. You aren't competent. You were supposed to be the one that *acts* here, not the one that reacts. Actually...you haven't reacted at all. I could replace you with a slime mold and have more interesting scenes. I don't think slime molds are supposed to be interesting. Also, you haven't thought about the sister you abandoned for days now. I'm going to have to switch POV to her if you don't start doing something soon. Karin, you’d better figure out a personality. Looks like you are going to be a main character. Congratz. Formless blobs of characters-that-should-not-be-needed, shape up. Karin’s going to need some help getting her sister out of the gladiator pits.

What are you doing? Dear Callie, You have a husband. So please stop flirting with Arin, even though he seems to want to return your affections. You're not helping the plot at all, because I know Arin's not happy with Kier, but he never wanted to cheat on anyone. Dear Kier, I am really loving your name and for god's sake don't act so depressed all the time.

And since when were you a star of an erotica/horror novel? Please make up your mind. Also, please open up a little. I understand that you're suffering with seven demons commanding your soul, but I need to know you. You are making it hard for me to make you the main character. Since you won't open up and let me in your head, I have taken it upon myself to really focus on your brother. Speaking of your brother, what the hell are you doing? Since when, SINCE WHEN, are you okay with sibling incest. I mean, do you what you've gotta do to open up to me, but really? Either just do it, or stop leading the poor sod on.

Dear Esther, Please stop being out-of-character. You are supposed to be aloof and unlikeable, so why are you being so social? Also, ignore what everybody else thinks and say whatever you want, because you need to offend more people. Be more assertive if that helps. And you are not supposed to be interested in Licalo, because you have more important things to do, like stopping a war. Don't invite him over, that is counter-productive. Love, Charlotte Dear Licalo, I would appreciate it if you were not so good at making Esther like you, because she is going to reject you and I would rather it did not come seemingly out of the blue. You're supposed to like her, not the other way around. Love, Charlotte Dear Tzofiya, You need a major flaw, because right now you are so optimistic and obliging that it is getting very annoying. Be jealous that Esther's queen instead of you! Be grumpy that she is suddenly nearly as popular as you! Be a spoilt brat! Be more promiscuous! Whatever it takes, or else everybody is going to want you as queen instead of your sister and you will fail miserably at that. Love, Charlotte Dear Gabriel, I would appreciate it if you showed up sometime soon. Bring Laszlo along if you can. Love, Charlotte

Also if you realise that you'd probably go back to being even slightly more mentally stable than you are now and stop all those hallucinations if you realised this. Also, please bear with the snogging, sex, jealousy and adultery that you are going to face when I hit around 25,000 words, though don't be schocked if it happens sooner. You falling for Dalton was in the plan, but this interest in Morgan is going to screw you all over. Sincerely your slightly apologetic author, Violet Dear Dalton, I'm sorry for putting you in between Primrose and Morgan. I know you love Morgan and I know you're also falling for Prim but there isn't anything I can do about it. I need you to fall for Primrose and have sex with her for the sake of my outline but I can't bear to not let you and Morgan be together. I apologise in advance for all the snogging, sex, jealousy and adultery that you are going to face because of those two...oh and the gang fights...sorry about those as well. I hope by the time this ends you'll forgive me for what I'll put you through. But don't worry, you will get laid at least 3 times before this novel is over if that helps Sincerely, your very apologetic and very confused author, Violet Dear Morgan, First off, ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL????? Prim thinks you're a girl and Dalton say's you're a guy but I have no clue. I mean I think you're a guy as well, but there is that slight girlyness about you that I'm not sure whether to brush of as you joking or being flamboyant.... Secondly, why the hell are you messing with my plot line?!?! I know you love Dalton and have that vaguely small instrest in Primrose but did you really have to show your intentions of getting back with Dalton. You've honestly got me so confused about who is going to be with who in the end that I'm seriously considering that you all end up together in one big happy family and have a bunch of kids together.....or at least have Dalton with both you and Primrose but not you with Primrose....if that makes any sense whatsoever. Please just help me out a bit or I may have to kill you off, which no one wants and will probably make Dalton depressed in the cut your wrists/jump off a building kind of way Sincererly your very concerned author, Violet

Dear Dray, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH A BABY?!?! I get it, the woman was dying, you were grieving because of your sort of girlfriend just got hit by a falling brick and died, but a BABY!! You are supposed to go to the medical tents and help to heal people so that you could get involved in the revolutionary efforts and meet Calwyn and Aiden and now you have a BABYY?! What are you going to do, rock it in one arm and sow up people's gaping wounds in the other? Don't even know what to do with you anymore, Frustrated Author

Dear Everyone, I hate all of you. None of you turned out like I wanted you to. Maggie -- you were supposed to be this kick ass lady and now you're just... bubbly. And frankly, it's annoying. Ray, you... I don't even know what's wrong with you. Maybe you're too apathetic for me? Maybe everyone in this fic is just making me sad and you don't actually do anything to help with that. None of you make me really want to write. If I didn't have like 11,000 words, I'd just scrap this entire thing but I can't and if it was just my plot I'd totally make you all go through some sort of time portal and change the entire thing. Should I just kill all of you off? This seriously is looking like a good idea at this point. So now I don't know what I'm going to do, and I'm blaming it all on you. I know you didn't really do anything, but none of you are really exciting. And by really exciting, I mean you all bore me to tears. So... we'll see how this turns out guys. Not so thanks, Millie P.S. I might just scrap all of you

Dear Subject A, I know that I designed you to be a nameless, seemingly emotionless, and possibly imaginary entity, but I'm starting to become very frustrated with your callous remarks. You may enjoy insulting Subject B, but she/he/it is the closest thing you have to a friend, so please be kinder. Love, Evelyna Dear Subject B, Being a Canadian mental patient with an unspecified gender, no name, and trapped in a sketchy location with no possible escape unless you learn to stop seeing the Colours is probably unpleasant, but would you please get over your existential crisis? I understand how you feel about your nation, and how conflicting it is to be simultaneously patriotic and aware. Your country is a lying scumbag, and I get that, but you need to move on. Nationalism is unhealthy anyway, as is attempting to be 'Everything', and speaking only in Giraffes. Love, Evelyna Dear Julia, Who are you, and why are you the only character to ever have a name? You are not important to the story, nor are you present in it, save for in a brief mention during a conversation pertaining to the merits of eyebrows. I know that you must be special, but until you can display how, I will be ignoring you. With my remaining love, Evelyna Dear English Teachers, Why is it that you are capable of 'always watching'? Sincerely, Evelyna Dear History Teachers, You don't really know everything. Sincerely, Evelyna Dear Mr. Major, Fuck off, you militaristic scumbag; it's your fault that Subject B's hands began to shake. Remembrance my ass, Evelyna

Or were you always such a selfish little trickster and were tricking me all along!? (Dun, dun, dun!)

I'm trying to fix it, so would you please stop struggling? Relax, Hoagie Dear Julia's Mind, Please to be deciding whether you have schizophrenia, conversion disorder, depersonalization disorder, or temporal lobe freaking epilepsy! Yes, I know you're in a dream world and don't really have any of these things-- THAT'S NOT THE POINT!! How can I write your body's character if you won't give me an idea of what her symptoms are?! Be a good antagonist and get with the freaking program. Annoyed, Hoagie Dear Dr. Angel, I apologize for giving you a spur-of-the-moment name that is completely unsuited of you. But I have to thank you for expanding your own character for me. You're a good little character, yes you are! Okay. Shutting up. Now would you please tell Julia to do what I asked?

Dear Peter and Lily, You know I love you guys. You've been in my head for around six years now. But, you have to give me a little slack in the romance department. I've only just realized the month before that you two would be amazing together and it's not going to happen in this book. Stop wanting to make out. Please. You two are supposed to still half-hate each other. This book is not a romance. That's the next book. Also, Lily, sorry for making you kill that character. I really am sorry. Does that mean you have to change the pace of the story with it though? And Peter, try to be more realistic. I'll bring in your brother if you act like a teenage boy. I'll even mention your birthday. And for the love of all things holy, stop wanting me to make a song your theme song. I need to actually write. Love, Turdlock. Dear Blank, When are you and Johnny Boy going to show up? It doesn't have to be now, but I'd like to know. Are you keeping secrets 'cause I named you Blank? You know I love you. I didn't even have to include you in the story. Johnny Boy would have been just fine without a twin on his own. But seriously, let me know. Before I have to make Lily kill someone else. Love, Turdlock Dear Jazz and Cole, You are not even my characters. You're my friend's characters. I'd really like it if you stopped wanting me to write fanfiction crossover pairings of our two stories. It would help a lot. Good luck on your adventure by the way! Love and thanks, Turdlock

I mean, even when you are clearly stating you will not be demanding and are not demanding... you are. It's confusing Sarah and me. -Kay Dear Sarah You didn't care that you got a stock name at all. I should have known this was a bad sign. Please grow a back bone. Or, at least, show signs that there is one in there. Because, if you remember, there are vague plans of you being kick ass and this will not work with your current state of accepting every wrong thing that is happening. -Kay Dear Powers That Be Who are you?!?!?! Stop hinting that you exist unless you want to at least make it clear to me why exactly you're making my characters do things that they know and admit they cannot possibly do. P.S. If at all possible, can you let me know what the characters are suppose to refer to you as and what in the world these Marks are?

You do nothing! I don't think you've said anything even half way interesting but then the story seems only just to be starting. So I'll let you off, but could you please find something, we've got a lot of filler to make up cause somebody didn't kick up on the nanoidea binge til half way through October. I no like this trouser flying malarky!! So if you could please stop worrying so much about what happened in the past so we can move onto the much more interesting and shiney Jazz time era. I would be very much obliged. Also, I will draw all the pictures anyone could possibly want of one character next month. Or when I'm 10 000 words ahead. (HAAAAAAAAA) love Morogo Dear Leo and Imogen. What happened to you two? You two were meant to be so cute together, and like Romeo and Juliet with less dying. Instead you just don't seem to exist any more, you're like too mellowed out people who do love each other, but are thousands of miles apart, but aren't quite motivated to do anything about it. What's that about seriously? You guys were meant to be the focus of the beginning. Instead Peter is. And he only appears 3 times!!! love Morogo Dear Sophie and Peter No. No you can not be romantically involved. I have a very long and complicated family tree and you're actually cousins. So don't even think about flirting when you finally meet each other. Or I won't introduce you to each other at all. love Morogo.

kat17 — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 01:28:35 +0200

Dear Rhiannon, I wrote so much about how skilled and tough you are. I have portrayed you in this amazing, heroic, almost reverent light. So why are you so feeble? You hardly ever do anything interesting, and when you do it is usually really irrational and overall a bad decision. It's not okay for you to hate Sebastian, then make out with him, then be mad at him, then try to kill him, then make out with him again, then fall in love with him, then reject him so that you can do your duty to the rebel army, and then write this really whiney letter about how much you miss him. It makes your sacrifice look like another saga in the lives of a super annoying on again off again teen couple, as opposed to a very noble and tragic decision LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. Also, why must you walk out of every scene I set up to move the plot forward? It is sort of killer to your story, you realize. I will cut you a deal, all right? If you can do ONE thing that actually comes off as brave, I ill let you two get back together, but not a moment sooner. That means until you start focusing on the actual plot of the novel, as opposed to your little problems that don't mean diddly squat, every time that you approach Sebastian he will shut the door in your face. It has already happened twice, next time I WILL BREAK YOUR NOSE. Got it? Good. Your Mentally Disturbed Author, Kat Dear Leo, This whole falling in love with Rhiannon stunt of yours is very risky business, kid. It won't work out between the two of you, and if you try any harder to force it I will have to kill you off. I am now past the point in my noveling where I care whether or not that would throw the entire plot off. The problem with you is that you seem so nice. You seem like the kind of guy who would be awesome for her, if she was not all hung up over Sebastian, but that is not an invitation to try and worm your way into that hot mess. I am seriously considering having a freak meteor straight up murder every male in Rhi's age range just so she can move forwards! Don't make me do it, Leo. Your Rather Distressed Author, Kat Dear Cari, Hey, so where the heck are you? I mean, I have not seen you in a week, and the camp is pretty small. I know you are involved in all of the secret intelligence meetings, but why does that mean you can not talk to Rhi at all? Also, what are you guys discussing at those meetings? I kind of need to know. Your In the Dark Author, Kat

You were not supposed to steal Nolan's magical earring and turn him into a freakin' werewolf. Yet. Dammit Sun. It was fun to write and all, but I needed like 5000 more words of you just being generally annoying before the big reveal! Aaaaarggghhhhh. Love, Bones. Who really wants to write part two, with your POV, and is getting more and more worried that part two is doomed to be 'book two'. Dear Nolan, Please stop being so angry all the time.

I have a personality planned out for you, so why do you have to hide it? Are you ashamed of my writing or something? You always struck me as a person who would speak out against me anyway, so it's not just because it's NaNo. No one will want to read your story if you keep this up. Your distressed author, Faeiri Dear Natalie, Could you decide why you know the things you do? I'm trying to figure out a plot reason, but everything is blank. Help me out a little bit on these things. You want to influence your afterlife, right? So can you please work with me? Your clueless plotter, Faeiri Dear Jake English, Stop, okay? Just...stop. My novel has nothing to do with Homestuck. You were only introduced a day ago. The only times you've even "spoken" were as letters long before this act started and you don't even have a developed characterization--really, most of what's inspired me about you is due to Tumblr. So please, stop trying to steal my attention from my original characters. I might get around to roleplaying you, but during November, please stay the hell out of my head! Your tentative fan, Faeiri

Yes he's amazing and awesome, but he's also not your designated love interest dammit. -Me Dear Jeanine, Where the hell did your long-lost fiance come from? You're supposed to be falling for Allen 'Call-Me-By-My-Surname' Irvine, not moon over your long lost love who's been kidnapped by the faeries.

Dear Captain Declan, Hedvig, and Rupert, I'm so, so, so sorry that I accidentally deleted the last five thousand words. You can't temember, but they were particularly fun times! You bought yourselves a dragon egg, the first part of your delightfully cliched quest. My apologies. The thing is, dear characters, that I'm too lazy to rewrite your visit to Jules's home and the delicious blueberry muffin episode. In fact, I believe I shall simply skip ahead several scenes instead. Do forgive any memory loss. I give you my love, Dumlydorr

Betty Blue — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:40:25 +0200

Dear Characters, I again start to like you ;-) Somehow my novel seems to get any sense. Or, at least, YOU seem to become any sense. I mean, a lovesick fool who steals everything he gets his hands on, a killer-princess with a tail and a burned hand, a freak with actually less knowledge about syntax than Yoda and an evil guy with three arms and two hands. Yeah. Has to become great! Love, Betty Dear Mr Valo I know you´re not a character of mine and you don´t belong into my f*cking novel. But if you could stop singing for once in a while, so I could concentrate on writing, that´d be very h elpful. So just turn off the CD-player and come again when I try to get some sleep. Agreed? No? Somehow I knew it would end like this. You save my life but you´re destroying my novel! WHY??? Yours, Betty

Dear Derek, You're awesome. I love you. But all those extra S's I have to use when I write you are getting annoying. I know you're part snake and all, but I'll be avoiding words with 's' in them as much as possible with you from now on, so I'm sorry if you start to sound really weird because of that. Oh and I'm never going to have you use the word "as" ok? 'Cause it would just look like you're saying "ass". I don't think you want people getting that kind of impression of you, you are a doctor after all and should be more professional than that.

Winterfields — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 22:05:34 +0200

Dearest Frost, You are the love of my life. Ever since I thought of you, I've been obsessed. However, our times together has become frustrating. I once thought I knew you, but you changed. You started out as an open minded, naive, but pleasant individual. Now? Now? Your mind is closing, you're eyes are opening and I think you're beginning to crack. But still your pleasant. I know, I know - almost getting you frozen alive in an icy fog all while almost killing off your crush is a bad way to go. And I know having a giant black warg-like wolf maul you half to death doesn't do much for keeping your mind sane. But please, you're on the road to recovery. Your stitches have closed the wounds. The salve has helped you heal. So you're gonna be a little scared on your back. It only adds character!! Please, please get out of that bed. Find a way to get yourself down to the library so we can discover hidden mysteries. Find a way to pick a fight with your friends so I can create that much needed parting of the seas, so I can send you to the forest to talk to Oracle. Please, please, please - just get out of bed. I hate to have to bring in another character (mentioned in the beginning) to get you to do things. You know he'll only fight with the other two characters. How about a make a deal with you? I'll somehow pepper in a visit with your crush. How about that? Will you do that for me? Come on, be a sport! It'll all work out in the end - I promise! Yours Forever in the Snow, Crystal. ================= Dear Maga, I effin love you! Keep up the good work. Love, Crystal

Dear Charles, You're actually an interesting and worthwhile character to write about. I'm pleasantly surprised. However, you've unintentionally become a bit of a booze-hound and a pervert. Why is this? I swear, it wasn't in the plan. But I kind of dig it, so I'mma role with it. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Grace P.S.: Sorry about making 3/4 of the other characters pissed at you already. I don't know how or why that happened. It just did. Dear Simon, You, too, have veered from your predestined path. You've become even more anal and bitchy than I thought possible, but it's kind of endearing and very fun to write. So don't worry about it! Cuz I know you worry. I'd also like to apologize in advance for what I'm going to make you go through later. I'm not entirely sure your uptight little heart can take it. But it'll be alright. Best regards, Grace Dear Stella, I've only just introduced you and you're kind of a bitch. Stop that. You're supposed to be sassy, strong and admirable. Get with the picture, girl! Hopefully your romantic subplot will soften you up a bit. Don't freak out! I promise it's not with Charles! Love, Grace

Dear Agent Ampulex, Why do you insist on stalking a sixteen-year-old girl, even if she is does attract paranormal phenomenon like moths to a flame? How do you know her name, and that she moved to the neighborhood several months ago? Why did I name you after the Emerald Cockroach Wasp? What's your real name? Why are you a lovechild of the Slenderman and an Eldritch abomination? Are you asian or what?! How am I going to manage you getting hit by a car and getting back up? Will you ever get a real name? Dear Jae-Hwa Please don't insist on being in this story. This isn't about you. You just go back to being the Korean mafia kingpin. Dear Dragomir Nikolaus, Please stop taking up so much of the story. It's hard to write conversations in German. You need to stop stealing the show. This one is about cryptids. You're here to show Conall's psychic abilities.

Dear Ash, or whatever your name is supposed to be, Stop trying to inform me that you want to get with Lucy. I know you want to, but seriously, you don't even exist yet. You won't properly exist until two books from now. And any relationship you have with Lucy will have to wait until the sixth book. Which is going to be really hard to get to if you won't shut up and let me write the first one. Dear Lucy, You didn't even exist until yesterday. Stop trying to take over the story. And stop moping over Sid, he really does not need your sympathy and it's going to make things even more awkward with Ash later on if any of them notices. That whole thing is already a trainwreck and you don't need to be making it worse. Dear Alexa, Please do something other than listen to exposition. There's a murderer on the loose, could you at least try to pay attention to that? Dear Sid, Don't make Jared into a hellhound. I'm running out of ideas for how to defend your continued existance even to myself and doing things like that just for the fun of it is not helping. Dear Jared, I am so very, very sorry. -Me

I also have no idea where to go with you two. You're stupid. Dear Logan and Michaela, Could you two quit switching roles all the time? First Logan is freaking out, and Michaela calms him down, then it switches. Can one of you be the freak-out person and be done with it? Yeesh. Dear Helena and Clara, I'm sorry that you two have almost absolutely no use to the story yet other than word padding. I need to come up with something relevant for you two. Dear Gail, I promise you'll be important soon. Promise. Love, Izzy

I can't keep going off on shrinky tangents with you, however fun and insightful they may be. Just stick to your designated subplot, okay? Thanks. Also, can you tell me what happened to Daisy? I haven't seen her in, like... the whole fic. Did she go on vacation or something? Semi-colon, end parenthesis, less than sign, numeral three! Sabs Dear Booth and Dr. Brennan, You guys suck. Seriously. I mean, okay, I hate you as a couple, so I get why you're upset with me... but I'm writing a fic where your relationship is one of the major subplots, so could you please try to cooperate? ...Tell me what you're doing? Please? I don't ask for much. All I want is some meaningful conversation, a witty convo or two, and maybe some hint as to what you're actually THINKING. Do I have to go ask Sweets? Oh, and stop overwriting each others' perspective all the time! You should NOT be thinking when I'm in your partner's head! Sincerely, (I MEAN IT, STOP) Sabs (I'M NOT KIDDING!) Dear Julian, You rock, but I'd appreciate it if you stopped being so bipolar all the time. I mean, you're an OC. You can't angst too much, or it'll get annoying. Thanks (and keep up the good work!), Sabs Dear Alphas Cast (minus Gary), Could you guys actually... do something? You're part of this story too, y'know. Thanks in advance, Sabs

Dear Angela, I'm sorry that your parents suck and sent you away. But really, you brought it on yourself. If you would have just kept your mouth shut, you wouldn't have had to spend all that time in the institution. After all, when someone rants about demons, people are bound to think that they're nuts. And yes, the evil guy is after you, but what did you expect? You are a threat to him. Dear Nick, You wouldn't be having all the problems you are now if you would have just killed your friend when you saw him turning evil. You should have done it centuries ago, but now things have spun out of control because of your lack of action. Your mess...you clean it up. Respectfully (but without sympathy), Cypher P.S. You two need to learn to be more patient.

You can have deeper emotions, I know you can! And I did NOT want to write the whole novel from your perspective. Give poor Paul some time to shine here, too! You really don't hate him as much as you let on. Frustrated, Me Dear Paul, You were going to be so awesome. I had great things planned for you. So how come you're so hard to figure out? I cannot get inside your head. Please give me a hint as to what your personality is like. We're 21k in, dude. You've been in existence since like, 12k. And you know you really want to help Helena out here. Insulting her constantly isn't going to get her on your good side. Work with me! I know you can be as awesome as I first imagined you.

Dear FMC, I know that I should have foreseen this when midway through the third page you suddenly stopped being quiet and introverted and started being stubborn, persnickety, snarky, and introverted. Honestly, I'm probably much happier this way. At the very least, you're more fun to write when you're trading quips with the other characters. Besides, I sort of despise the shy bookworm trope, so it's all for the better that you turned out this way. But seriously, cut the MMC a break. Yes, he's secretive and a bit of a dick, and yes, he deserves to be called on it. He's also slowly changing into a bird. That'd be a bad day for anyone; give the boy a little slack. Of course, that'll probably be a little easier for you to do when he actually reveals that he's going a bit avian around the edges. Love (no, really), Your Author Dear MMC, Any time you want to reveal that. Really, any time at all. Go ahead. I'm watching you. Out with it. Your Author

And why doesn't anyone know your first name, including your own family? I have Search and Replace. If you don't check in pretty soon, Siobhan may become an only child. Dear Siobhan's Mother, I know you're working two jobs and it sucks that you don't have a car anymore and you can't speak the language that is now being used in your country. But could you occasionally speak to your daughter about something else than wanting her to translate something for you? She isn't even that good at the language for most of the book. Surely you can envision yourself in a more involved maternal role, despite your fatigue and ennui. I can totally understand why your husband isn't in the picture. At least you seem able to finish knitting projects. See what you can come up with, okay? You might want to look right under your nose at home for the problem, hint hint.

Dear Evelyn, You've decided that you want to turn into an alcoholic, and I'm OK with that. But it is really, really getting in the way of character development if you're drunk all the time. Could you please stop drinking, at least for a few hours, and let me get back to that distressing love affair and inferiority complex that makes you my favourite character? Regards, The Authoress Dear Scholastica, You need to do something. Blow something up. Flirt with a married man. Shoot someone. Drive a car off a cliff. I'm not fussy. At the moment, you're just being boring. Regards The Authoress Dear Nick, You're handsome, you're charming, and I'm liking that so far. But please, please come up with some way to make you seem three dimensional. And don't become a traitor. I like you too much for that. And you're not behaving normally for someone whose uncle was just murdered. Regards The Authoress Dear Mary, You need to be more annoying. Regards The Authoress Dear Eda, Yeah, I haven't written a thing about you for 10000 words. You know why? You were being a pain in the neck. Reform, or you'll be killed in the revision. Regards The Authoress Dear Mr Ian Woon Sorry. But you just don´t have a place in the story now. Well, maybe I'll get you a cameo, but otherwise, you're dead. Regards The Authoress

Dear Visere, WHY IS MY STORY MOVING SO FAST? No Vis, you tell me. I have no idea. Why are you king before we even reach 30k? Oh sorry, I guess I should address this to 'His Majesty the King' but... I'm your author, I'm still higher than you. Okay, good point. I'll start again. Dear His Majesty the King Visere, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? Tell me why the story's moving so fast, or you'll be fired and Cori will be Queen. This IS a threat! I won't carry it out, but you still have to slow the story down anyway! Love, Your humble subject, the Authoress

Dear Trudy, Why are you so bipolar?? One minute you think you can actually accomplish this goal, and the next you think all's hopeless again. And why don't you have a personality?? How are all the guys supposed to fall in love with you if you suck so badly? Can't you develop some endearing trait in the next 5K words? I don't know, like a sense of humor you forgot. Or the urge to bake everybody cookies. Everybody likes cookies! And could you give people a chance to get to know you instead of just blushing and looking down and stuttering? Everytime you open your mouth, you do one of these things at the same time. Stop Already! Get your act together, or your evil cousin is replacing you. Seriously. She's already stolen Keagan...the rest are next. Hugs and Kisses, bandgirlz Dear Henry, Can you try being nice instead of crazy and too touchy-feely? Because I don't think Trudy likes you very much, and she's supposed to. You're supposed to be charmingly overenthusiastic, not a mentally-challenged pervert. Work on that. XOXOHTH, bandgirlz Dear Maddy, Where the hell did you come from? Go away. Everybody hates you (except Keagan, evidently), and there were no evil cousin characters required in this story. So...why don't you develop a strange illness and never leave home again? Or you could just have to work a lot... I'm just saying. bandgirlz Dear Riley, You're adorable honey, and so sweet, but you're stealing the show. Please give somebody else a chance to make a good impression. If you don't, you and your twin are going to become one person in the rewrite. And I'm going to name him Rygan. Don't make me do that. It's an awful name. Much love, bandgirlz Dear Kent, Okay, we get it, you're distant and contrary. Do you have a personality though? And why won't you tell the story? Last time I let you write, you only spoke for half a page! You're up next, and if you blow it, Riley's getting the girl instead of you. And I know she's not much of a catch right now, with her lack of personality and manic-depression, but she's going to shape up, I tell you! So, fight for her! Develop an adorable little sister with a disability who makes you seems human. Sincerely, bandgirlz Dear bandgirlz, Don't yell at your characters! You're the one who has no idea who they are and hasn't spent any time trying to find out! Maybe I'll write YOU out of the story! Oh...that's right. Oops. Well, be better. And give poor Kent a break. His time hasn't come yet... Also, write in ninjas. Warrior princess ninjas. And their leader, Bowser. You know I love you, bandgirlz

Dear Amy, You're so far off from your original plan and personality! In the idea that you're as flat as three day old soda, totally skillful at magic THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BARELY ABLE TO USE YET and all emo. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PERKY. Somewhat, anyway. STOP IT DAMN YOU. - Ian Dear Michael, WHY. Why in God's name are you being manipulated by a villain? You were supposed to be a good guy. Sure, it creates conflict between you and Amy, considering you were lovers... but you weren't supposed to be evil! In the slightest! IT THROWS MY PLANS OFF. Stop it! - Ian Dear Draco, ...I thought Amy was emo. Sweet Jazzy Jesus, should I throw some all-black clothing on you and make you start a medieval-My Chemical Romance? I'm disappointed in you. - Ian Dear Sidney, Why are you all of a sudden taking a backseat role? You were supposed to be a main character with years of experience to aid the lesser experienced people. Also, you weren't supposed to be able to use magic. Yet now, you're sitting here with the ability to make things pop out of mid-air, something so potentially overpowered, and you're just SUPPORTING someone THIRTY-SOMETHIN' year younger!? You... I... AUGH I don't even want to talk to you right now. - Ian Dear Adam, ...You weren't even supposed to be in this story. You were my original plot. The one I ditched. Even if you are changed pretty dramatically, possibly only related to the other character by name, you came in and stole what was supposed to be Sidney's spot light. And you're a TOTAL Gary Stu right now. You're Adam Bradford. Not Gary. What kind of name is Gary for a war veteran at the age of twenty-one? - Ian Dear Roy, The big bad Roy Abscon. Also not supposed to be in this story. And when you were included, you were supposed to be a major antagonist and a rival to the Sidney-Adam-Draco group. But you've turned into little more than comedic relief. What the hell is with that? You think you're funny? You're not. Go be evil. - Ian ...that was more fun than it should have been.

Dear James, You are my MC in my fantasy novel for this NaNo. You are a human lord of the second largest village in the entire country. You are meant to be brave and valiant and protecting Amaryllis becasue she's you're one true love...so why are you beign so ANNOYING? You just complain and sit around all day and question everything! There may be still hope for you and Amaryllis, but seriously, it'll only happen if you stop acting like you're five! At the moment, I'm looking forward to your death! Not Lovingly At The Moment, Ultimately. Dear Amaryllis, You are my MFC. You are in a fantasy novel. You need 'saving'. You're James's companion and you are meant to fall in love and live happily ever after (until, you know, James gets killed) and you're supposed to be a bit shy but eventually bloom into a brave warrior who is capable of defending herself. WHAT HAPPENED? Annoyed, Ultimately. Dear Zachariah, You are the main villian. No one knows it yet, but you are. Why? Because you need to defend your village against your best friend, who happens to James. I know that as the journey continues, you're showing less concern and realising what horrible things have happened that James has been the cause of. You're doing that PERFECTLY. It's awesome. But Cascada? You're meant to like her? You don't have to start reproducing-yet-but at least show a bit of a crush. And as a typical villian, you need to be at least a little cruel and cold, especially because you're protecting your village. So for the love of god, stop pulling pranks! I need you to use that epic line at the end! You know, that sarcastic line! When you need to work on your sarcasm skills! Doesn't know whether to be a bit peeved or giving slight thumbs up, Ultimately. Dear Cascada, For the sake of the novel, I think I'm going to have to kill you to a) give Zachariah some more coldness and b) you annoy me. Maybe I could seem like something killed you and then give you a tearful reunion, but at the moment, you're going to disappear for a while. Wanting to punch you, Ultimately. Dear Charity, You're a goblin cross elf, one of the few left in existence. Stop acting like a 12 year old school girl. Face-palming, Ultimately. Dear Joseph, I named you aftre a classmate. Crud. But seriously, gain a background already! You sort of suck at the moment. You kind of haven't appeared in about 10 000 words. And you're a semi-important role to furthuring the plot. Running out of these things, Ultimately. Dear random guy, I just refered to you as 'the man' for 2 000 words, even though you have a bigger role than Cascada. Dear god. Has truely run out of witty things to put on this line, Ultimately.

Dear Kristen, Okay, you're my FMC, and act like it all the time. Proud of you there. But where'd the innocence go? Hello?! You've been marching around yelling at all my minor characters and getting into a bajillion fights. If you don't stop, it'll kill you someday! And I can't have you die, I'm writing in first person!! You never seem to think about anyone else anymore (except Lea). And oh yeah, eventually you might get together with Ben? So will you stop acting like you find him the most annoying this on earth? Don't worry, everything else is fine. :3 Sincerely, Smarty Dear Ben, You're my MMC? Hello? Why have you only been brought up twice in the history of this story? HELLO?? You're NOT supposed to be taking a vacation in November!! Get out there and fight! And stop getting into Kristen's face like you're obsessed with her. I know you are, but still. Very annoying. In fact, you've become EXTREMELY annoying recently. You're supposed to be a quiet kid, so why is it that the two times we've seen you, you've been talking your head off? Kristen won't shut up about it. You could do better, Smarty Dear Raevin, Okay, it's time to step down. You're NOT the FMC you know. You're only the second or third FMC, so stop showing up all the time. Let me focus on the MAIN plotline; you're only in the MINOR plotline. Which will soon end, so go away. Switch places with Ben, and take a vacation for a bit. I'm sure you'll appreciate a vacation with what I'm going to put you through after this. <3 you most of the time, Smarty Dear Lea, Okay, so you're a perfect angel, and there's nothing really wrong to say about you. Then why in the WORLD did you pop into my head while taking my dog out; insisting to Kristen that you didn't care whether you'd be put on a list? A list is what you're put on when you murder a scientist you know. Don't prove their point by not letting them trust you with pencils. Please, just take a little breather... I know you just got back from being kidnapped but you don't need any grudges. You're One of my fav characters, Smarty Dear Nick, Why are you making Kristen go all obsessive over you? You're two years younger than her, AND she's supposed to be with Ben, so back off. Just take a little breather...please. I mean, I know you can't do much with your broken ankle, but stop getting so much sympathy with Kristen. You're my ugliest protagonist you know, Kristen can't be seen with such bad taste. okay, that was mean, I'm sorry. Very Sorry, Smarty Dear Bob, Okay, will you show up every once in a while? You're one of the two antagonists, but while we've seen the first, you're just sitting in an office, avoiding physical activity. People have talked about you, but you're not showing up? Are you going to, or should I replace you with some OTHER antagonist? It's your choice. Decided Quickly, Smarty Dear Mr. J, You're being too nice to Raevin. She still hates you, but something has to happen so she breaks off completely. But you're still really cruel and evil. I love that about you, you never seem to care what others thinks. And you think the law is beneath you because you're a mutant. A mutant that can kill people. Right now, ironically, you're the character i get along with best. How funny is that Mr. I-keep-showing-up-like-I-should-antagonist-man? Thanks, Smarty

Dear Aledra, Firstly, I don't know yet that you deserve to be a goddess, hooking up with an engaged man and all. And having his kid. Methinks I should nickname you Hester Prynne. Then you turn around and yell for the gods and become one yourself? How does that even WORK? Secondly, now that you are a goddess, I want your mother to become eternal as well. Remember her? Your real mother? The one who took care of you in times of sickness? Yeah. She would have helped you if she'd had the choice. You know that. So admit it to yourself, and make one of your potions, and turn her eternal. She deserves something after all she's gone through at the hands of her husband. You don't have to be so petty, do you? Don't answer that. Love, Cenlyra

Ian, Only took you 30k to show up. Seriously, you're the second main character! I suppose it's partially Grace's fault for taking up so much time with her half, but still... I'm glad you're (nearly) here now! WOOOOOOOO. Also, I've been obsessed with your backstory with Noelle over the last couple of days. I know you get a sort-of flashback when you're telling Maria about it, but I want to write your entire story. :( Maybe I will do, if I have time left at the end of the month. Also, Gavin. asdfghjkl. I need to write about you and Gavin too. Gah, why do I ship you with so many people? Stop being so shippable. Love, Faye xxx Dear Noelle, I just want to write about you so bad at the moment. Also, you suddenly have developed a twin sister. This is an interesting turn of events. I guess you two were born near Christmas and your parents were incredibly unoriginal with names. But yeah, I guess you're one of the most tragic characters I have. I'm kind of obsessed with tragic characters at the moment. You should hang out with your ex-fiancee's uncle, you'd have a lot in common. But yeah, your relationship with Ian and subsequently Ricky is so fascinating to me at the moment. I guess maybe you could show up in one of Ricky's books. Maybe in BNW becuse I have no idea what else is going to happen in it. That could be interesting. Love, Faye xxx Dear Natalie, Welcome aboard! I will not ship you with Ian. I will not ship you with Ian. I will not ship you with Ian. I will not ship you with Ian. I will not ship you with Ian. I will not ship you with Ian. Oh crap.

But please just chill and go along for the ride when you realize that about half the industrialized world wants to get into your pants and most of them don't care what's in said pants. It'll be hilarious and you'll totally get loved on for years to come. Also, props for kicking ass on that crazy fae guy who came along to try and thrash you into submission to the psycho fae queen. I had no idea you could swing a katana around like mad, even though the last sword-swinger in your family was your great-great-great-grandpa. Love, Mysto Dear Achien, We get it, humans can sometimes drive you batty with things like crappy Google search results and Wikipedia mass-deletions. Now just go have some pocky and show me how you're supposed to be the fae's stereotype of a nerdy otaku fangirl who actually likes the human world and isn't afraid of any metal object larger than a fork. At least you're interesting and I can't wait to see what kind of trouble you get into. Mysto Dear Psyche, WHERE THE EVERLOVING HELL DID YOU COME FROM? Seriously, you come along to help/pester Achien, and now you're pestering me for a part in the story. Well, at least you're a good source of helpful and not-so-helpful information and avoid infodumps, and you make me curious. Why are you so bratty and annoying sometimes? How do you keep stuffing your face with junk food and make Achien envious that you're a skinny twig? Do you ever do anything besides surf the 'net and troll chatrooms? Why do you literally SPARKLE with happiness? Oh, yeah, I'm dreading when you start dragging your boyfriend along for the ride, if that's what he is.

That doesn't entail walking around for three or four chapters and making me go back and fix it. And please tell your daughter that reading notes after she complains about not being able to read doesn't make sense, either. I really don't like you. You lied to your daughter and are one of the sharpest criminal minds of the century. Go away and never come back. Most drearily, A P.S., tell Hadrian I said KNOCK OFF BEING NICE AND PERFECT. Tell him he's supposed to be a supervillain, too, and if he's too nice my plot is going to break a poor MC's heart. Plus I really like Hadrian and it's almost too painful to make him betray Clarisse.

Dear Kriste, Y'know... You just had to go make yourself important, didn't you? I blame all the reading I did on Minoan goddesses, but seriously, girl. You realize how much trouble your existence is going to cause, now, right? I wanted Ekaris' madness to be the reason for the birth of Toran, but *you* are going to be the reason. And I have this feeling like you're freaking stoked about it. (Wonder what gave it away - oh, maybe the fact you were running around singing inside your head about how happy you were about screwing up Mynus' life.) You were the brainchild of my roommate...and now you're important to my plot. Damn you, girl. (And allow me to admire you for a bit.) I was hoping to take you out on the rewrite, but I guess you're worked in to stay. Just don't break Ekaris' heart, okay? I still have a soft spot for the boy, even if you're only using him.

Dear Leif and Cass, You aren't allowed to get together! You are not allowed to fall in love either. The answer is no. End of story. Oh, and Leif? Don't drive them all crazy. I know you don't like being blind, but we're going to fix that later. Just hang in there.

Dear Lucy, Moira, and Bridget, Keep holding on to each other. It's the only way you'll get through it all. But don't forget to be honest with each other and yourselves. And don't forget to let yourselves be loved. I know you aren't used to it. I promise it will all turn out okay. Love, Me Dear Jake, Suck it. Even though no one else could see through you, I knew right off what a jerk you really were. Go to hell, Me

Dear Victoria, Thank you so much for not letting me know about the pregnancy scare until AFTER you met Francis again. I appreciate knowing why you hate him so much, but it would have been nice to know this sooner. Love, Me Dear Francis, Could you please calm your shit down before you get a restraining order placed on you or something? It's been five years; I know she broke your heart, but I have Plans For You Later. So please just leave the past in the past. Love, Me Dear Maddie's tummy, Could you please pick American foods to crave while Maddie is pregnant so I don't have to look up British recipes? The poutine was acceptable, but really? I don't think blood sausage is an appropriate food for a pregnant woman to be eating. Thanks, Me

Dear Anabella, I think we're spoken before, but I'd like to make some things very plain. -You are possessed. Start acting like it. Mild temper tantrums, a killing a bird, these things are just not enough. I need something real to happen. Some meat for my readers to sink their teeth into. At the same time, I'd also like it if you could hold off on really freaking out until about 30-35k. We don't want to prematurely climax. -You are pale. Pale! Stop flaunting your sun-kissed legs all over the place. You glow in the damn dark, that's how pale you are. Cover up! -You are supposed to be demure, coy, and charming. But also graceful and proper. You don't step on people's toes, or randomly kiss your brother. -If you want this love affair with your brother to continue, you are going to have to step it up a little bit. Men, as a rule, can't tell if you are interested if you do not explicitly say so. To top it off, he is your older brother after all, and he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable. You're going to have to do these things yourself if you want to get anything done. In closing, I hope you take my advice to heart. We need to get at the very least one of these two plot points moving. I would appreciate if you didn't skirt around these issues any further. With Love, Your Author

Dear Morgan, Twins. Really. Is that why you wouldn't tell me the gender? Because it was freaking fraternal twins? Okay. I get the joke. Har har. It's not a boy or a girl because it's both. But why didn't you tell me there were two babies? HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW?! Annoyed, Me. P.S. Isabella and Alexander? Okay fine. Just don't call her Bella or else do you remember how Christian just murdered those two muggers with a shovel? You'll be next.

Dearest Sadie, I get it that youre scared of guns but your fear is starting to annoy me and everyone around you including your boyfriend and Jess and Greg and your dad. Sure Major Green gave you a break at the shooting range but you really need to learn that you need to stand up for yourself if you expect to get through this zombie apocalypse in one piece with your whole entourage.

That's understandable; I would be angry too if I happened to be a character in a book and my author wrote a brutal stabbing scene that ended in my death. However, your misbehavior is unacceptable. Please stop being stubborn and elusive! I just want to tell your story. So if you could start to work with me and not against me, that would be awesome. Thanks! Sincerely, The Author

Dear Victor, You are sick. Seriously, I know you are a demon but writing you gives me the creeps. You make me miss Sammael, or the necrophiliac I wrote a short story about because apparently writing about necrophilia is less creepy to me than writing about pedophilia. Why do you have to be so creepy? I hope you get destroyed painfully, writer Dear Drake and Thomas, Why are you both so violent when angry and having heroic breakdowns? Its getting annoying because I feel like you both are having the same reactions to things. Thomas, you were great as the stoic in the first attack by Victor, but now you are acting like Drake and its annoying. Go be awesome again, please. thanks boys, writer Dear Serena, For the love of the Gods, why do I hear Fluttershy's voice when you talk? It's kinda creepy. just wondering, writer Dear Dominic and Riven, You two are cute, keep being cute. Side note to Dominic, your clairvoyance will not speed up plot much more, sorry. Don't worry, it will become seventh hour superpower when you realize why Riven is being targetted and how she can go save the day. Side note to Riven, please be less emo shy, Serena handles that department well enough. k thanks, writer Dear Britney, you are a nutcase of emotion and probably the strongest female even though you are the most complainy. I hated you but now I love you. What the hell? very confused, writer Dear Annabel and Patricia, I'm sorry, I really am. You will earn your happy ending, I swear. And you won't have to make out with each other to do so. Victor's an evil demon and he likes making idle threats like that. Besides, right now he's too distracted by shiny new humans to harm you two too much. Really sorry, writer

Dear Maddie and Kiku, I am *this* close to delegating you guys to side-character status. You got the puppy, that's good, but you need conflict. I don't care that you're both normally quiet people; "it's always the quiet ones," remember? If you don't shape up soon, I'm moving the Alfred/Victoria/Francis love triangle to the forefront of the story. I may not like writing drama, but at least they're DOING something. If you don't shape up, I can't guarantee this pregnancy will go as planned. (Maddie, I'm looking at you.) Me

There are more than 1ok left for me to write and I don´t want you to kill Pan before this 1ok are done! She´s not supposed to die! You´re supposed to die! Why did you just kidnap her? ARE YOU MAD? You belong into an asylum, you madman, put on medicaments, all drugged up so you can´t harm anyone! Fucking bastard, don´t you dare to rape her. Don´t you dare! I hate you. I hate you more than ever.

Dear Characters: Mattias: What's with the whole blanking out at apparently random? Why is it whenever I think 'Yay, how's he going to get out of this?' you end up somewhere else with no memory of how you got there? It's not helping my wordcount and it's really killing the whole dramatic scene-building bits. Please, try to stay aware of your surroundings so I can write about them! Jozsef: I'm sorry but you really don't seem to have much of a personality so you're definitely going to be the first to die. No hard feelings, right? But do you think you could come up with some interesting things to do in the last few hours of your existence? I need more words. Hey, on the upside your death is fairly quick and painless... Nikolaus: Who the heck do you look like anyway, and why are you always finding something to do? What is it with you that totally precludes sitting still? Also, why didn't you tell me earlier that Lina and the kids were dead? Juraj: Please, please, please learn some German or Hungarian. I don't care how touristy/useless/grammatically incorrect it is, just do it. Also, stop distracting Béla. Béla: Stop being distracted by Juraj. Focus on survival right now, all right? Stop moping!

Three little letters that sum you up so perfectly I don't even know where to begin. You stumbled into my story and now you won't leave, and while you're funny, you really have a knack for bringing down serious moods, because you just hover around in the background and then I remember I have to write something for you to say, and all you ever have to say is "I like ____." with super-dialated cat eyes.

Dear Chris, The reason you are being targeted is because your father actually fights supernatural creatures and they put a hit out on you. It's obvious if you look at the facts. The only reason you can't figure this out is because I'm padding the story. Dear Sharon, Sorry I had to kill you, sorry that your character only existed to move the plot along. That's just how it goes. Dear Jason, You were suppose to be a minor character forgotten after a few chapters as the main character moves, yet I like you so much I'm expanding your role. Dear Ric, I had to choose between you and Jason as I could only expand one role. While I like you alot as well the problem is you can't keep secrets. There fore I could not extend your role like I'm doing with Jason. Dear, Francis Luminiar. Show up already, in the rough outline of the story I had five characters for the story and you were one of them, I am 26K in and you have just been mentioned three times. Dead Charlotte Luminiar, Same as above with your father only you have not even been mentioned yet. Dear Anton Rast, Are you becoming the true main villain without asking? I had the villain planned since day one and he was not you. Dear Gabreal Tarque, You are not controlling Anton Rast like you think you are.

Get back to your attic and keep the Hell out of the freakin' spotlight. Pretend it's hot lava and you'll die if it hits you. Dear Roxanne - You're annoying the living Hell out of me. For crying out loud, I had to bring in someone else to share the spotlight so I could deal with you. Grow up and act the part or I'm killing you off. Main character or no main character, the novel must go on. Your choice. Dear Tessi - Stop with the Miss Mary Sunshine act. It's putting me into a diabetic coma. Dear Kaelan - I love you but could you please develop a stronger personality? I know it's there... Dear Spooky - Stop molesting Roxanne and do something demonic for once. Note: Killing off yet another medium does not count. Start up the fight you're supposed to be doing. Dear Krista - Stop whining to your godfather and arguing with him over your life.

Carmen Dear Prince Aidan I've recently discovered that you are no longer a bad person like I had intended you to be. Why can't you have more character depth? Why do you push me to do this to you? What happened to you being a spoilt brat because right now, you're acting like a prince in Shining armor? Carmen Dear Capt. Sierra Song Why are you such a horrible person. I intended you to be the lonely traveler but right now, you've been rude, obnoxious and cold in touch situations. Find a heart and put it in your chest because you're just a cruel person. Carmen and finally, Dear Aldaric Why are you so perfect? You're not even an extremely major character yet you've pushed yourself to the forefront and just turned out to be someone extremely brilliant that everyone just seems to love, even me? Why do you do this to me? I cannot stand having someone with so much potential having to sit on the sidelines because if I put you in more, it will look like I forced you into it and that never leads to a good working relationship.

Dear characters, from several universes and in far too many mini stories instead of one cohesive plot like you were supposed to be: Why do all of you hate me so much this year?! I haven’t been any worse, have I? Actually, I think I've been pretty darned nice to all of you this year. Just look at the last time I didn't have an overarching plot and was forced into a bunch of little stories: This year thus far I haven’t put any of you in horrific bloody car accidents. And I haven’t put any of you through traumatic bloody dreams. And I haven’t made any of you mute from shock when your magician master killed your parents when you were two (er, maybe three? Or were you four? I forget. Sorry, Janine, or whatever your name was). And I haven’t made any of you watch your friend’s friend fall to his death resulting in your friend trying to kill you. And I haven’t made any of you commit suicide because your beloved died in a terrible car accident. And I haven’t made any of you cripples and then made a weird desert elf person drag you into the desert and then give up on your story thus leaving your fate a complete mystery. And I haven’t let any of you get about three feet from getting eaten by murderous swamp gremlins. And I haven’t nearly killed any of you and then killed your most loyal slave so you’d have a nice dramatic speech before she died. And I haven’t put something so awful in your apartment that you wouldn’t tell even ME what it was. And I haven’t sent any of you to Camp Awful. And I haven’t made any of you have flaws in your relationship with your father so bad that you threatened to jump off a building just to get his attention. And I haven’t conspired to drive any of you totally crazy by leaving you the only person in your neighborhood. All I've done so far is: -- separate some of you from your best friends (which I was planning on fixing.) -- made one of you believe your nephew was dead and your sister was deathly ill (which she wasn't and you would have found that out and made the guy who fooled you pay. A lot.) -- decided one of you can't read (but your friends were going to teach you. And it was going to be heart warming.) -- given one of you a roommate who you thought was crazy (and who was going to turn out to be right.) -- locked one of you in a tank of water where you would never quite die but would feel like it over and over (... okay, so maybe you have a right to be mad at me ... but you got rescued! And you got your revenge!) -- chained two of you to walls (which sucked, but you got free, right?) -- put one of you and your brother into a creepy house (which you didn't explore like you were supposed to.) Seriously, you big wimps, talk to me before I bring out the blood, accidents, and death. Maybe that's what I've been doing wrong. I haven't put you through enough agony. Goodness knows you've been putting me through enough! Knock off this hiding and wipe those blank stares off your faces and give me SOMETHING. Do not make me call in some blood rain. With no love and in imminent danger of brain death, Your author

You are so confused and I'm trying to figure out your thought process but it seems to no avail do you want to let me in. I know you're scared of what is going to happen to you in the story and you are becoming slightly more aware of your love interest and I know this is all against what you would ever want in life but please bear with me and stop fighting it.

Dear Micah, I can't say I know where your voice is right now but I wish you'd take up charades in the meantime. It's getting really hard to write you when you don't communicate. Plus, it wouldn't kill you to romance Tori a bit. Or a lot. It's about time you started falling in love. But first, go fight Asher. I want to see who wins. Dear Tori, You could use a personality. Please find one. And also, that was not terribly smart, running screaming around the nephilim's lair. You're not going to be saving any angels like that. Speaking of which, don't you think you should at least TRY to save him? Dear Asher, I can't decide if I love you or hate you for your sudden wickedness but I suspect you're rather one dimensional. At least you talk. So good work there. Dear Ammiel, I'm sorry about your wings. And whatever else they might have done to you that I didn't write about yet. Don't die. After some angsting I might be able to find you a girlfriend. Just not Tori, okay? She's for Micah. And by the way, could you clarify your relationship with Micah for me? Were you friends or not? I kinda need to know that one. I also wouldn't mind an explanation of how you Fell. Asher's not being too helpful with that one even if it is his fault. Love, me

Dear Justin, Stop being an amazing character. Stop showing more depth to your relationship with James. Stop improving. YOU HAVE TO DIE IN THIS CHAPTER, AND NOW I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU. do you know what that would do to my plot if i kept you alive? YOUR DEATH IS CRUCIAL. Dear Zach, Your big (re)entrance is coming. And quite frankly, you need to nail it to have any chance of impressing Shay. Dear James, I can't decide if you keep switching between sweet and sarcastic because it's your personality, or because I'm writing you badly. Let's just pray it's the first way. And I don't understand why Shay likes you so much...you were supposed to be the losing one in the love triangle. Also, sorry about your brother. It's good for you in the long run, I promise. You need to learn to live without him. Dear June, You could've told me your twin was a projection and you were a master illusionist BEFORE I wrote 20k of you being a shallow little bitch. And now you don't have a personality at all. Stop being one dimensional and go back to being sassy! I demand it! Dear Paul, So...let me get this straight. You're the Sorcerer's apprentice, you're pure evil, and you're sabotaging the camp in hopes of Turning the kids? UH. THIS WAS NOT IN MY PLOTLINE.

Dwight: I haven't heard from you since you became a neo-Nazi, started drinking vodka out of the bottle, had your kids and wife stolen by your wife's greaseball brothers who threatened to kill you, and moved away to London(Ontario) to join a white supremitst cell. How have things been going for you? What have you been up to? Is London a nice city? Sincerely Nick PS I need to hear from you soon or I'll never get to 50,000

You´re about to rape his beloved Pan. I hate you, Jef. But I´m kinda proud of you. You´re the perfect bad guy. That´s THE role for you - you´re doing very well. It will be a pleasure to kill you. Betty (who is sstill your boss, never forget this!) Dearest Pan, why didn´t you tell me you´ve got raped before? Hell, lady, I need to write about all this stuff and I still don´t know everything about you. Talk to me, dear. Yours, Betty

Traudl, I realize you're new to this plot, and you probably don't have it all figured out yet, but Helen is an innocent woman from West Virginia, and you need to take it easy on her. Please stop giving her methamphetamines and trying to put her in an ugly situation with Klaus. Thanks. Helen, Stop accepting methamphetamines from this woman you just met. Also, you should probably be a little more angry that you got kidnapped - don't be a doormat. Klaus, Don't be a wuss. Hermann, Do something evil to make Klaus stop being a wuss. Please. I would really appreciate this. You are the new antagonist now because you can speak English, so you have to live up to my expectations. Love, -Molly

Dear Klaus I just noticed that you're in mollymo's novel as well as mine. What are you doing over there? From the little I know of you, you are a sadist Nazi guy. Mollymo refers to you as a wuss. What's happened to you over there? I think you'd be better off here with me...lots more fun...you can do whatever you want. After all I've done for you, I don't think it would be fair for you to stay with mollymo....I don't want you to feel guilty or anything...just saying. Sincerely Nick (remember me?)

And yes, Rachel loves you dearly. Dear Rose: Still as adorable as ever, and I'm glad that you're a sarcastic person, like Rachel. Dear Vlad: Yay I finally on the way to introduce you! Don't be insecure. Everyone is not evil. Really. Dear Kei: I definitely agree RachelMichelle is the win! Glad to have you questions or asking for explanation. Helping my word count. xD p.s: Sorry you still have amnesia. After everything is sorted, you'll be as cool as an ice. Dear S: Haven't introduce you yet. But I advise you, just give up on Shizuki.

Dear Eve, Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for finally settling into your own spot in the story. And I'm sorry the most ruthless character is hopelessly in love with you and everything that happens is kinda your fault. Dear Alice, Oh honey I am so sorry for everything I've done to you. Believe me I was hard for me to write too but thank you for not holding me back and preventing me from moving on with the story.

Please, for the love of all that's holy, GET OVER IT. Love, Ivy Dear Robert, Why the heck can't you act the way you're supposed to? What's all this sissy fretting about feelings that you're doing, all of a sudden? I know you're Mercy's oldest son, but you really need to not act like her so much. Plus, it would be awesome if you could go back to being an arrogant jerk, and not Mr. Sensitive.

Please tone down your 'thought-rambling' a bit. AurorA Dear Amanda, You have a personality now, too! But your damsel in distress syndrome is getting kind of old. Please just be with Jake. He loves you, he really does. But then we wouldn't have your little subplot... AurorA Dear Sam, How am I supposed to explain how you went? Did you go stay with Collin after telling Satan about them? Why did he need you to tell him? Did he just want you to betray them? Lord... AurorA Dear Michael, Why are you so cool? Honestly, even after killing our lovely Jake and dying for the third recorded time, I do think you're my favorite. I'm going to hate disappointing you. AurorA Dear Collin, I want to see you again! D: AurorA Dear Ian, I know you really want to show up at the climax. I'm not sure if you can, though. AurorA Dear Jeremy, You need to control more people with your mind. And it was nice to figure out that you have a heart. AurorA Dear Casey, You have two different personalities - Dark Casey, which is generally used for fanfictions, and Light Casey, who shows up in Shifters. I meant to use Dark Casey. But you ended up as a mixture of both. AurorA Dear teachers, Sorry you don't have any names. Jake doesn't feel like learning them, and he's the current POV character. AurorA

You were in a hurry to get to London to join the neo-Nazi cell. Please get in touch asap Are you taking care of youself OK? Are you enjoying London?

Ardian, Listen... I know you're gay, you know you're gay. Bessel knew you were gay, but you kind of killed him. So here's the thing... do I tell the world that you are gay in some strange last plot twist, or is it just not even worth it by now? You're just so damn mean, and NO ONE knows that it's because of a bizarre mixture of natural eccentricity with a heavy sprinkling of years of violent sexual repression except for the two of us. You could have been such a nice guy, had it not been for being the son of a duke! You could have settled on a quiet little house beyond the mountains with the man you loved, but your mother had him stoned to death and attempted to beat the homosexuality out of you. Now I'm afraid that if I even mention that you're gay without telling the ENTIRE story, for fear that someone may read this and twist my words on me. So, why don't you just come out with it? There can be a party! With cake!! And maybe then Anya won't shoot you in the head in the end. Consider it? Love, Tiffany Anya, Y U NO HAVE PERSONALITY? You're hardly a character, really. It's like someone cut off a minor appendage of my own personality and formed another person. You're just so... bland. I hate you. If you weren't my main character and if this wasn't a third person singular novel, I would have hanged you in those gallows and left it at that. PROBLEM SOLVED. Honestly, I don't know why Lerhen is even into you. You sicken me! Love, Tiffany PS: In correspondence with the duke right now. Maybe you won't have to shoot him in the head after all. Mazric, Please forgive me. I really never thought it was going to end this way! I just thought I would throw you in the dungeons so you didn't disappear altogether as a character. I thought it would be nice if Anya had someone to talk to while she was there. I thought Bradley would just... you know... rough you up a little. I didn't realize that they were going to torture you for information on Anya's whereabouts and that the sincere friendship the two of you shared would keep you from talking. I thought the two of you could escape together... and somewhere in the epilogue you could find a girl and have a house out of the desert and be happy for the rest of your days. I didn't think they were going to get out the knee splitter and shatter the bones in your legs to dust with it. I had you hanged to end it quickly, because I couldn't watch you suffer for any longer than you had to. I'm sorry. Love, Tiffany

I kind of need them. ~N Dear Sir Trieve, Can you please stop acting like a total snob and not look down on everyone for not being born nobles? I really, really want you to be the one Sophine needs, but right now you are just being plain rude. Even if you are really, really, really hot, that is not an excuse. It just makes you a little more bearable. So does your back story, but you refuse to tell that to anyone but me. Can't you just open up? ~N Dear just about every other character, Why do you have to be so silly and make everything into a joke?! I'm trying to write a serious novel here damn it! ~N

It's just that I promised "Plot" I'd offer up two of you (and Roxanne) as a trade if it came back...And it did, so...Yeah. And, JoJo & Nicholae, you two were simply collateral damage. Sorry about that. Dear Kaelan - Thanks for developing a personality. Now stop being so bloody bipolar. Dear Sachairi - You're the bad guy so you're entitled to a few angsty monologues, I get that. But for the love of all that is good and holy. You're making me want to blame everything on Roxanne...not that this isn't partly her fault, but still. Leave your emo side pouting in the corner please. Dear Roxanne - Not sure if you're going to make it or not. You were warned. Dear Roxanne's little girl - Do you have a name? Dear Caldera family - Would love to know if you guys are still alive just in case there's a Part 2 to this thing. Drop me a line...Unless, of course, you're all dead. Your author

It all started off so, so well. I liked all of you. Even you, Marún. I really did. But now I´ve started to hate you. Just wanted to tell you one thing - you´re all gonna die. Maybe Marún and Valerie might survive, but Pan, Lia, Jef, Romin... You´re gonna die. Painful. Please die within the next 7k, will you? I don´t want to write this novel after I reached the 50k. At 50k I want all of you dead. Hating you, Betty

Dear Ricky, I think I might just scrap the idea of Brave New World being all political and stuff, because to be honest I know nothing abot politics and I'd find it a bit boring. Instead I'll change the ending of Half the World Away and make it so you and Al accidentally changed the past, and then there'll be an alternate future where your dad became king of the magic world. This is so exciting! It would completely change your relationship dynamic with Garrett, which would be so fun to write about. OMG maybe I can do the broom cupboard scene from the first draft of TWIM. YESSS. This is working out better than I'd hoped. Oh, and Noelle should definitely show up somewhere in BNW. And possibly "Lucy" or whatever her name is. Ok, I finally have ideas for this book! HOORAY. It means that HTWA will have to end on a weird cliffhanger, but if I ever get around to publishing it, it'll already be the second part of the trilogy so I'll definitely be able to publish the third one. As if this is ever going to happen. :-P But I'M SO EXCITIED. Love, Faye xxx

Have you lived in Vienna ever since? How did things go for you during the war? Apart from being raped I mean. Your son Dieter lived with my MC character Angela, as a brother, and pretty soon she is going to want to locate you, although you may have died by now. In case you've forgotten, you would be 72 now.

You don't have to kill Olivia or Myers, I like them, but do something. Even my main characters are beginning to wonder why you're so innactive and un-violent.

I promise I didn't do all of this because I hate you, I love you. I think I might even have an emotional breakdown when you find out the truth about your family. But I need you to answer me something: Do you want to die? Or do you want to live? I want you to be happy. But what is YOUR happy ending? Love, Dreezy Dear Slugger, You need to hurry up and grow some balls if you want to be with Ace. She's a tough one to crack. But I think you have it in you. I would also like to apologize for not allowing you to kiss Ace for a book and a half, I know you love her. It's going to be difficult for both of you. Love, Dreezy PS: Sorry about Princess. Dear Princess, Where the hell did you come from? You're a terrible person. How did you manage to get Slugger to fall for you? (I hate you). Ughh, Dreezy Dear Alice, You're my favorite, but don't tell anyone else. You're beautiful, pure, innocent, loving and the most brave person I have ever met. And you're only twelve years old. I'm sorry about what I did to you. But you're strength still manages to reach Alex, you're the only thing keeping her alive. Don't change, ok? Love, Dreezy Dear Slugger's mom, You need a name. You also need to tell me what happened to you and why you left your son behind. Disgusted, Dreezy Dear Blondie, I'm seriously pissed off that you didn't take up Ace on her offer. She was worried about you, and she doesn't give second chances to just anyone. Sucks for you, Dreezy Dear Doctors, I REALLY need you guys to enlighten me on how this infection spread and what it is exactly. I'm struggling here. Also, what did you do to Ace to make her escape the compound? You guys are messing with something you shouldn't be. I just need to know what. And is there a cure? Pissed, Dreezy

Dear Ya'll, Thank you so damn much for finally getting your act together and being super freaking brave. You've all been kind of lack-luster heroes, to tell the truth, so thank you for being so awesome. Nicky, your fire-defying determination is amazing, and your final speech tugged at my heart. 'For Mama and Judy, yeah?'. Nicky, you're not a poet, but you make my heart sing. And Ethan, the way you keep going even though you have absolutely no control of your magic and you just keep tearing yourself apart is amazing. You keep it up. And Olivia? Hot damn, woman, you're a muggle for god's sake, and yet still you manage to make yourself useful in the fight against the main villain. Thank you. Thanks for meaning so well, and for being such a strong woman. Now Howard, it's your turn. You get your butt outa that chair and find a way to fight, even without physical magic. I mean- Olivia made herself useful, kind of. I know you can do it. I love you all so freakin' much, Pie

(my characters are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse btw ^^) Dear Dylan, Okay, so I know you're Conquest. I know you must win at everything. I made you the popular kid, MVP (striker in soccer) and you have the head cheerleader as your girlfriend. Honestly, you needed a downfall so I made you stupid. Boy, was that a mistake. Now you're starting arguments with Takiyah/War and you always have a stupid comment. I guess you're comments bring up my word count but can you be a bit smarter? Also, I'm sorry that your special ability kind of sucks. I hope you enjoy your special weapon though. I hope you like using arrows. Wait what? You've never taken archery? I'm Going to Hide From You, Lia --- Dear Ashlyn, First off, I'm sorry I changed your name. I originally named you Lia, after myself, but then you started doing strange things so I renamed you. Also, I'm sorry I made your parents fight 24/7 (hey, you're War, and your family is at war... it made sense at the time) and that your only friend is a teddy bear. Your power is sweet though, so don't complain. Oh, but yeah... sorry about making you the mentally unstable one in the group. Please stop talking so quietly and whispering, I'm sure you can speak in other forms. Also, heh, sorry for making you kill a 6 year old, but hey, she was evil. It had to be done! Your weapon is awesome, a sword :D You're Asian (like me) and you're great at throwing knifes, so I might switch out your sword for a couple of ninja stars :D What do you think? Sorry... Lia ps. DO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH TREVOR/DEATH PLEEEEASSEEEE!!! --- Dear Takiyah, Famine... So I killed your parents and I don't think I ever mentioned what happened to your brother, Ace. Can we pretend he died too? I know, your power sucks. I mean, Dylan never looses, Lia can make people fight and Trevor can change people's lifespans... and you? You can skip out on eating and sleeping... listen, your weapon should make up for it... wait... I don't have a weapon for you... um, are you okay with the Traveling Shovel of Death? Also, you argue too much with Dylan. You know what they say if you argue with someone a lot... it means you're in love with them. BUT DO NOT FALL IN LOVE! I WILL NOT ALLOW IT! THE FOUR HORSEMEN AREN'T SUPPOSED TO FALL IN LOVE! Ahem.... Lia --- Dear Trevor, I really like you. You don't speak much but you're my favorite character. You're the geek who's always using his tablet (like an iPad) and you know a lot of facts about the past. You may have a crappy past - dead parents, ability to see people's death date - but at least you can change when people die (add or subtract years from their lifespan). Your weapon: a scythe. Sweet right? Also, like I've said before... don't fall in love. I don't think I can let you go, even to a character who was originally named after me XD Okay? Lia.

Dear Olivia, Seriously girl, I love you. Up until the fire was to consume you, you just kept tidying. And then you went and saved Ethan. Jesus, I wish all my actually main characters were as brave and stunning as you. Thanks for saving him, by the way. I would have hated to lose him so soon. Pie

Dear Nathan, I am glad that you managed to get your shit together. But what is with this horny teenager act? I mean, really? I know you fancy him, but you don't have to be so obvious about it and practically throw yourself at his feet... you were supposed to be kind of aloof and cool, being chased, not chasing. Remember everything that made you think it was a bad idea to be with Eryr? all the problems and obstacles? THEY'RE STILL THERE. Please stop drooling on Eryr your author Dear Basilia, I know i asked you to tone down your awesomeness, learn to co-exist with my mains or leave but of the three i really didn't want you to leave T.T You're too awesome to fit into these tiny scenes you pop up in! Please just learn to co-exist with my mains so you can be in the story more. with love (cuz you're totally awesome) your author Dear Gwendolyn, WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?! And why are you so badass?! You were supposed to be Eryr's shy and mousy younger sister who disliked talking to people, not some homicidal NINJA. Please pop up more in the story, cuz you're just awesome. Much love (cuz you rival even Basilia in awesomeness) your author Dear Eryr, Well, what can i say? when you finally got over your camera shyness you were the awesome character i had thought you'd be :) thank you for being as i had planned you. ... Please don't encourage Nathan's horny behaviour even though you love it. love your auuthor

Also, who is your boyfriend - he seems to be eluding me continuously. I would also like to apologize for deciding to kill you off. You're one of the more likable characters in the book, even though your head might not be totally screwed on straight. Love you sweetie. Love, Dreezy Dear Sniper, I like how you're coming along, I'm finally able to see who you really are. I know you're in love with Ace, and I admire you're ability to step back and not ruin Slugger's relationship with her. You're a strong man. I'm dabbling in the idea of giving you a little romance with her in the second book. Would you like that? ...Well of course you would. Love, Dreezy

Dear Marcus, You're right, I don't know where to go with your character or what the hell you are even doing in this situation. Honestly, I meant for you to be a thrill killer who talked girls into helping him with his crimes before turning around and killing said girls. I don't know how you ended up being the long suffering, dry humored straight man of the whole thing but there you go. Sorry man, I'll try to find a purpose for you. Dear James, You died YEARS ago man. Died. Dead dead dead. Now stop trying to get me to add some twist where you have actually been alive the whole time because trust me, the twist we came up is not good enough. It's straight crap. There's no way it'll float so why don't you just stay dead? Aaaa, you are my favorite character. Damn you. To the four Andrews sons, I'm sorry guys. I really, really am. I've been just terrible to you in every way I could and it's just going to get worse before it gets better. Again, sorry kids.

Dear Max, Looks like you're shaping up to by my main baddie. Could you at least show up a little more often? And the whole "haunting the museum" bit is fun and creepy and all that, but it's getting us No Where. In 40,000 words. No Where. So... isn't it about time you did something drastic? I mean, I don't want to sound bloodthirsty or anything, but no one has died this entire novel. No one. Last time I think we were up to three bodies at this point. Work on that, would you? You've kidnapped Sally -- that's a start. Now, how's about we blow the museum up for good measure? And don't talk to me about my main story arc. My main story arc is boring, and you're just being lazy. Make something happen, for Pete's Sake. Cordially, Your Author Dearest Siobhan, I love you. You know that. You're incredibly entertaining, and I love your rants about graphic design. They do wonders for my word count. But right now, it's the plot I'm worrying about. Do you think you could see your way clear to completely ignoring your design clients for a while and buckling down to your REAL mission in life? Don't ask me what it is... I evidently don't know. Oh, and if your computer has crashed so many times, and your clients have been so nasty, it's just that I have a habit of giving my favorite characters really lousy lives... possibly to make the adventure that they're SUPPOSED to be having that much more compelling. Sorry. Deal with it. Hugs and a new computer when this is all over, Your Author Jack, Jack... Jack... Jack... I know you're not even in this novel. But I miss you. Do you think you could manage to leave your archeological dig and come out to my middle-of-nowhere town somewhere south of Chicago and help out some? And bring Kate. I miss both of you. You'll like Siobhan. Nice girl. Anyway... make some space in your schedule, will you? Looking forward to seeing you, Your Author Everyone -- Look, gang. We're 40k into this... and we're still in Act 1... MAYBE Act 2, if you're VERY lucky. We've got to make some real stuff happen SOON. I love the whole haunted museum vibe, but that's wearing a little thin. If you're not careful, I'm just going to have to set a bomb under the place and take it out. And you wouldn't want me to do that. So let's all pitch in together and do something more interesting than eat pizza and argue with each other. Expectantly, Your Author

Hey, The coke head goes to an abandoned house to meet some one to buy more coke and steps on a snake. It's poisonous and bites him, which probably wouldn't actually kill him *except* that with all the coke in his system it gives him a heart attack and he dies. I did step on a snake this summer and it did not bite me, nor am I a coke addict, nor did I have a heart attack but it scared the s**t out of me and made me set a personal best high jump. So it occurred to me as a good way to kill someone;-). Regards, AndreaSG

You aren't clumsy, you don't hate girly things, and you aren't in love with a vampire. So stop acting this way (well, the last one you haven't covered yet, thank goodness). I haven't read Twilight in forever, where is this coming from? You are, however, falling too quickly for a guy who isn't at all trustworthy. Get past the charm, please. And be nicer to Ginny!

Sorry, you can get back to your whining about how its unfair that Luka gets to go rescue Dante instead of you now, even though if you had gone, you would have been hiding behind someone the whole time!

It'll all pay off in the end! - CO --- Dr. Simon Blake, You're an ass. We know you're the boss of the hospital, but do you really have to act like you're the product of Cuddy's authoritative in-work persona and House's abrasive misanthropy?

O_o that was not intentional. But I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT FINALLY WRITING FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW!!!! As much as I love Grace and Charlie, they were getting a bit boring. And you're one of the awesomest characters. Yaaaaaay. So, I was just having plot bunnies about Brave New Wrorld, the third book in Ricky's series, and I think it's gonna be SO fun to write about the alternate-timline version of you. Because you're basically a different person, because all of the things that make you the way you are haven't happened. And you don't have any tattooos. :-O It's gonna be so fun seeing you interacting with your alternate self. It occurs to me that this plot is a lot like a fanfiction plot. Oh well, it'll be fun to write. I originally inteded for this book to be a lot more political, but that's boring. :-P Love, Faye xxx

But I had it all planned out--motives, alibis, suspects. Now, thanks to your genius, why-didn't-my-detective-MC's-think-of-this-days-ago idea, I must restart my entire plot and come up with lame excuses for why people *didn't* do the things that I actually wanted them to do. Yes, I know I would have squeeked by on my word count if I had continued without you idea. But... seriously? Thank you for making me and my MC's feel like idiots. Also thank you for making sure that I reach my word count. Your Author ~~~~~ Dear Trace, So, now apparently I want you to be the murderer. But what exactly made you go off on the "murder your girlfriend" tangent? Weird relationships is already taken, as is the "why didn't you give me money?" motive. But... why would you kill her? I'm up for using the money thing again and tweaking her brother's story about it... but I want something different. Please, make up your mind and spill your heart out during your interrogation.

Why not stick around for a few more days and give it a shot? I do not accept your ultimatum. It is not reasonable for you to refuse to utter another word of believable dialogue until you have a whole new setting and back story for yourself and the few other characters of whom you deign to approve. Nor is it reasonable to demand that all other characters should be instantly deleted and purged from my memory, both cerebral and electronic, just because you consider them to be lifeless, ridiculous or unnecessary. Here's the deal: you shut up and stay in my version for another 13,326 words, and I will let you try it your way in December. Megan

LegacyIB — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 03:23:44 +0200

Dear Gretchen, This was all your fault. Congratulations, you have single-handedly killed my story. I was supposed to be doing this the entire month. I wasn't going to stop at 50k, you know. This was just halfway through and I had this huge battle scene set for the last part of the novel, too. But no, I have to stop just at 50k, because of you. You were only meant to be a side character. Your only purpose was to be a bully for Marie and the other girls. In fact, you were actually supposed to be hung earlier in the story. Hung! Dead! Done! Instead, you went completely out of my control. You turned into an actual character that I had no plan or anything prepared for. Now normally, this would be a good thing. In your case, it was not. You're a mean-spirited girl for no apparent reason and you had to force me to try and give you a reason to stick around with the others and look what happened - I needed to reuse an already dubious plot device of other character being able to see right through you and explain your motivations to you when you don't know them yourself. And you know what? It sucked. The rationale for it sucked. The reasoning for it sucked. Everything I wrote for that day sucked. Every plan I could come up with in that very short period of time to keep you with the others sucked and I went for the one that sucked the least, but it still sucks. But of course, perhaps this was my fault. I did not plan as well as I had hoped. I created you as half a character and did not foresee Abigail being as serious an antagonist after you were gone. I didn't even plan you well enough to explore your reasons and motivations, other than being an incredibly cruel girl. This could very well be my fault. And you know what? This makes me feel horrible. As a writer, I like to think that I've gotten over problems like this. I control my story. I can shape it and change it as I see fit. I can plan a story with a wonderful set of quirky characters, impossible situations, and grand and intense battles, but this entire ordeal has left me questioning my own ability as a writer. This should not have happened! This massive derailment of my story was never in my plan! I was supposed to follow it all the way through, as I had designed it. And now by letting you take over my story and throw it off its rails, I feel like even less of a writer. At best, I feel like a very poor and below-average writer. This now leaves me with the thought that my planning abilities are nowhere near sufficient for writing a proper novel, and has me whether I have any ability to even execute my plans without it looking as shamefully poor as it has for all this. My fault or not, the fact that I had to redesign my plan around you as the story went on took everything out of me. I can only do this pantsing thing on one really bad idea and then keep building on it with more bad ideas completely out of my plan until I end up loathing my design choices and gradually hating what I wrote to the point where I just can't keep it up. And now I've hit that limit. I can't write anything more for this current iteration of my story. I am ending it here so I can re-evaluate my overall plan for the story for the future. And I will let it be known - as I redo my planning, I will remember your name and associate UNADULTERATED RAGE with it. Your name and your entire half-a-character will serve as a grim reminder of what poor planning will do to a story. Someday in the future, after I have spent an entire month charting all the necessary characters in the story, what they will do each chapter and how they will grow and react to the story and events changing around them and I wonder if it will be enough, I will remember your name and I will damn well spend another month to make sure you will never happen ever again. And notice how I said I will make sure you will 'never happen ever again'. That is because you will not be a part of this story in the future. Your character is officially gone. Not dead, just gone. You no longer exist to me. You have now been downgraded to a nameless and faceless side character who will likely be hung as I intended. Your status is now even below that of a Redshirt from Star Trek, in that you will appear only once, and never again without as much a fond memory or a thought. You will be replaced by a character that actually has an intended purpose in the story, with realistic motives, personality, and a character arc worth reading about. Goodbye, Gretchen. It was frustrating to work with you, and what I will take from this experience will be to never let it happen, ever again. Best regards, Legacy P.S. If I can give you credit for anything, however, I will give you credit for beating death itself. But it's not to say I like you for doing it. This is still your fault <_< --- Dear Marie, Please stop watching your brother eat. It's creepy. In fact, can you please tone your brother complex down? You're not doing a very good job of hiding it and frankly, it's rather creepy. I thought it was going to be this cute sibling love where you would be extremely devoted and emotionally dependent on him, but instead, it’s coming out all wrong. Also for the next iteration of the story, please find something you're good at as early as possible and use it so you can be a halfway interesting character for a reader to follow. We can only read about you doing things badly and crying for so long. Best regards, Legacy --- Dear Riley, Please stop being so melodramatic. Your whole spiel to Marie to never give up and never stop in the face of war and adversity was both incredibly painful to write and actually makes me cringe when I go back and read it. I can't blame you, however, as you were a side-character who also went out of my control. You were just a veteran soldier in the background to teach the girls how to be good soldiers. Best regards, Legacy P.S. You are not as bad as Gretchen, thankfully. You will be in the next iteration, just not as overly melodramatic. P.P.S. But just to give you some warning, you will almost certainly die then. You’re too cool to live. I’ll try to give you a noble death befitting of a soldier as hard as you. Sorry.

Dear Nikki, Will you please show a bit of empathy? Even just a little? I know the guy killed off your friend, but I needed the story to go along accordingly, and that won't work if you're over there torturing his murderer for about 3,500 words. ;3; Love, The Author. Dear MC (from short story), Stop sulking around your hideout. Put your facepaint on, get out there and wreck some sh!t up already. Be the crazy, psychopathic killer you're supposed to be. Put your best foot forward; go on a murdering rampage for all I care -- just stop acting so *predictable*. No love, The Author.

Dear Michael, I thought you were going to stay away from alcohol? So why have you got drunk twice so far in the course of this novel? It is becoming a worrying habit and I do not want you ending up in prison like your dad - in fact, after the hotel incident, you're lucky that the manager didn't press charges. Sort yourself out or there is no way I'm letting you go on a road trip through California. Hoping you listen to me, The Author. Dear Lindsey, Thomas, Stephen and Ciaran, What has happened to you lot? You were so nice and well behaved and now you're acting like a boozy bunch of tourists. How do you think your parents are going to feel when they hear about all of this behaviour? Just because you're starting to have some success, do not - I repeat DO NOT let it go to your heads and derail your career! If you keep on like this, then there is no way I'm letting you rent a car and go driving through the desert. Hoping for less drunken antics, The Author.

Dear Mark, Stop trying so hard. She likes you, i promise. Help her find the letter- the psychich was right. And you're all going to die if you don't start cooperating Dear Elli, STOP CRYING. It's a turn off and you're making it very hard for the romance part of this novel to take place. Dear Katie, Where did you come from? And are you sassy and mean because of your tortured past? What's up with your family? Everyone that won this 'scholarship' has some sort of family issue. What's yours? Get one or you're going overboard. Literally. Eva, Are you important? I know you don't speak English, but get Bells to translate. I NEED TO KNOW YOUR STORY Thanks :) Me

And right now, you're running game on Alex, which is fin and right on schedule. Except you're fucking terrible at it. Get better game, please. -Me. Dear Alex, I know, I know. But hey, remember that you're incredibly pissed off at Joy and that a hole is a hole at this point. The point here isn't to get off, the point is to piss her off and prove you don't need her. She hit you, remember? In anger. She literally assaulted you. If that won't motivate you to fuck Aggie, tell me what will. -Me. Dear Arion, You are upsettlingly silent.

Dear Lerhen, Hey, I know what I put you through was a little messed up. I'm sorry that I didn't realize that your ego rode almost entirely on you being Mr. Big Hero to your little sister, and that me pulling that rug out from under you would cause such a heavy fall. I anticipated you being a little bummed, but being nearly emotionally inaccessible is really frustrating to write. Now Anya's in love with you and you keep turning your nose up at her. What is it going to take? Do I need to invent a subplot to make her chase you down until you love her again? Your theme song intentionally became Creep by Radiohead thanks to my conniving writerly ways... does hers have to be Paparazzi by Lady Gaga? *belts wildly off key* I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you looove meee~ *ahem* Seriously, though... what's it going to take? Get back to me soon, because I really don't want this story to turn into a two-book series where far too much time is spent chasing boys. In the meantime, I'll keep making Anya try to make you laugh. That seems to be the only way to get any sort of emotional response from you these days. Love, Tiffany Anya, I take back what I said about hating you. I hate Lerhen now. You still lack definable personality, but I feel like there's more to you than I've given you credit for. I won't apologize, 'cause you're still pretty boring and not altogether likable. But I'm happier with you now than I was, so... yeah. Good job with that. Anyway... what I'm really writing to say is that I'm sorry I told your story wrong. I've just realized now that you didn't run out on your wedding with the duke... and that you actually married him and -then- ran away. Now I'm missing at least two juicy chapters of your story because I got hasty with the running away bit. I would re-write them, but I'm afraid that bringing my inner editor out of her cage just to change one thing will set her loose upon my whole novel. I can't have that beast running rampant now that I've finally gotten her to quit clawing at my pages. Thank you for telling me what actually happened, even if it was a bit late. Love, Tiffany

I really am, Ashleigh Dear Javier, Hang in there, buddy. I know you miss Luc, but he died a hero. I feel for you :( Oh and please tell me. Was your relationship with him a romance or a bromance?

Dear Hermann (and no, I will not refer to you by your formal title, because I am your GOD), Sorry bro, but I can't let you kill your wife. If you kill your wife, then I will kill you. Maybe. Whatever, you'll get to do plenty of killing later, so cool your jets. But if you really need to kill your wife, I guess just... lay low for a bit so that I can make it be a dramatic revelation at the end. Like, say that she left you or something, because that's completely plausible considering how evil you are and the fact that she's a meth addict. Dear Nikolaus, You guys have this really weird dependence-love-sex-hate relationship going on with Helen, but I like it. It makes me sad that I'm going to have to kill you off, but since I can't feel comfortable letting a Nazi save the day and everyone is a Nazi except for Helen... those are the breaks, buddy. Dear Helen, Speaking of saving the day, you ain't savin' NOBODY'S day in this novel. I planned you as a wimp, I wrote you as a wimp, and you are going to be a wimp until you inevitably die. Dear Johanna, Hey girl... you coming back for the wedding? I sure hope so, because I need your secret lesbianism to be a part of this novel before I wrap it up. Dear Traudl, GOSH I'm sorry for making your husband a sociopath. It wasn't supposed to be that way, I swear. Hugo was supposed to be the sociopath, but then your sociopath husband had him executed for being a shallow character... er, I mean, for a crime he did not commit. So... yeah. My B. Dear Hanna & Elke, Hang in there girls, you'll get your own novel someday, and at that point in time, you'll be able to angst about your sociopath father and meth-addict mother all you want. 'Til then, HIDE. Jan-Wilhelm and Sara Gruenewald, Enjoy the dinner party, NERDS. Love, Yo momma.

Instead of rambling on and being unfocused, how about you hi-tail it the heck out of there and not get caught by the police? Yes, I know, you just killed your only family, but goddamnit, *run!* Stop pondering life! Dear Police Department and Aspen, Go to that blown up house! That's where that serial killer is! Get revenge!

Dear Ramon, Please understand what Sydney is telling you. I know you love her, and I know you want to be with her forever, but she needs to escape from your pack or you'll all be killed. Please, get past your wolfsih Xenophobia and do it for her. Dear Sydney, Please be more articulate. You talk and talk but you don't say anything. Please explain what you need to do to Ramon concisely. Also, I need a bit more angst about Mark. You seem to have forgotten that you're lying to him. And, please gain some self confidence. I need that character development. Please don't wait until you meet the Etherigen girl to show that you've been changed by your experience. Dear Mark, Please accept Ramon's help. I know that to you he's just another werewolf, but you need to accept that he's helping you so that Sydney doesn't have to tell you that she was planning to run off with him. Also, I need some character development. Any ideas? How do you want to improve? Dear Joseph Simmons, Can you appear in the story soon? I know that Penfold has taken your place to a certain extent, but you need to start chasing after Sydney and Mark soon. Also, get your personality ready. I'm interested to know just what type of villian you will be. Dear Ursula, Where are you? Has Penfold captured you? Are you dead? Are you staying with your son? Why have you suddenly disappered off the face of the earth? Dear Damian, I'm sorry. You didn't deserve to die like that, but I needed to move the plot forward. If it makes you feel any better, your death inadvertently saved the rest of your race. That's what you were trying to do all along, wasn't it?

Just make sure that it's interesting (and fills up at least another 20000 words), okay. We cool? Cool. I'll go back to documenting your story as soon as my hand stops hurting. -tummer Dear Luna, I'm so sorry that you're in love with such a goof ball. At least he's an idiot who cares about you. I mean, not every guy is willing to turn himself into a werewolf for you, right? It's your fault that you're based off of my girlfriend, so again, I deeply apologize for having you fall in love with such an idiot. -tummer Dear Luis, For goodness sake, give Luna a freaking break. You're a good guy and all, but she freaks out over small things. You need to watch yourself kid. And don't get mad at me if you turn out to be a lousy werewolf. You ain't no chosen one, kid. that'll do pig, that'll do. -tummer Dear Vampres that Appear in my Story, I'm sorry for ignoring you, but I needed to add some action with the werewolves. I promise, you'll get your spot in the limelight again. Just give me a chance to make everything right. -tummer

Dear Akiva, The original agreement was that you were going to be kindly and friendly. You understand that this means "not a bitch" right? So could you maybe stop patronizing Dally so much. We don't need her running off to do something stupid in order to prove herself again. She is kind of important, and does need to survive to the end of the story. Also, what the hell did Ralin ever do to you? Is it really necessary to call him a donkey every other sentence? And could you PLEASE stop poking GIANT GAPING HOLES in my plot? And just generally derailing every scene that you're in? Hating you, so very, very much, Ellen Dear Spirit Dragons, Akiva may have been the one to point out the gigantic problem with your back story that pretty much negates the entire plot so far, but you guys are kind of to blame for the problem in the first place. Thanks, Ellen Dear Viera, You've been in my head for literally as long as I can remember. You're supposed to be an important character. Why are you barely showing up? And why are you completely out of character every time you do show up? And would you do something useful already? The only thing you've managed to do so far is make Dally afraid of you because you freaked out on Akiva. Now, we can blame that part on her. But if you'd actually been around for a significant part of the story, and been acting in character rather than showing up, going batshit, and leaving, your behaviour would actually make sense, and we wouldn't be having this problem. Please get your shit together, Ellen Dear Dally, You are passive, whiny, angsty, and just generally annoying. STOP THAT You're supposed to be strong and independent and rebellious. Aside from that one unplanned incident a few chapters ago (AKIVA!), you just sit there and watch every opportunity for you to actually do something fly by. Please find your personality, Ellen Dear Ralin, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to die. It was supposed to be the gryphon, but... you decided to show up out of nowhere and be Dally's best friend instead, so... now you're the one who has to go. I'm so sorry. You're my favourite so far, and I don't want to, but it really has to be done. At least you have a couple of books before that happens. Sad and teary, Ellen

I'm trying hard not to turn you into a Mary Sue or to have you steal the show. This is Chris's book, the sequal is all yours. Dear Francis Sharp, I am so glad your curse is not to be a coward, I really thought I was going to be writing you as a cowardly Franchman stereotype but I'm not and your not, this weakness curse is so much better. Dear Cole, What is your purpose? Your just an extra character who has few lines and just shows up. Do you have a purpose in the plot if so what is it?

I didn't want you dead, and I kept trying to write you out, but then you'd come right back with a vengeance. You were just what I needed, too. Before you the characters were all wooden and dull.

Seriously, you have done almost nothing interesting since the beginning of your story, and as much as I like you, I am getting really tired of your lack of personality. If you could actually start talking to me instead of just passively shuffling from scene to scene, that would be really helpful. Thanks. P.S. It wouldn't hurt you to disagree with someone every now and again. Dear Mr. Bentely (aka, the man in grey) I have no idea what to do with you. I know that you're capable of horrible and terrifying acts of villainy, but why aren't you actually doing anything? These constant meetings and cryptic warnings are fine, but these plans of yours, whatever they are, should be happening very soon. I'm very disappointed in you. You've been biding your time this entire story, so I think it's about time you actually did something worth writing about, don't you? Also, if you could explain to me how it is you control your 'associates', that would be helpful to know, because I don't have a damned clue at the moment.

Dear Aisling, I may have hit 50,000, but your story was not concluded. And you deserve a conclusion. You deserve to take down that @#$#* who slowly drove your father to insanity. You deserve to sleep one night without nightmares. You deserve to realize that your crush is just a speedbump in your life. So, I will finish your story. 2000 words. Every night. Sincerely, Your Author

Dear Lerran, WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM? You were supposed to be charming and sweet! And sweep Ashlie off her feet! Not...whatever the hell you just did. AND YOU LEFT HER THERE IN THE FOREST! She was supposed to go back to Aloro's cottage so those two could cuddle that night. Now Aloro probably ran back to his sister, and now things are happening over there and I think Ashlie's chances with EITHER of you are shot to hell. No wonder you're a glitch in the system. You're not even behaving the way that I want you to. Go on, get out of here. I don't even know how I can save Ashlie anymore. Aloro, Okay, sir. What is with you and your constantly changing dialogue? I quite liked the way you were in chapter three. I made an excuse for you in chapter four, but now I have no idea. You're supposed to be back to normal, dammit. Go back to chapter three, listen to how you spoke, then come back to me. Rani, Y U SO OBSESSED WITH YOUR BROTHER? I thought I swore to myself I'd never write anything with incest in it, YET THERE YOU ARE. WHY, RANI, WHYYYYY? Jey, WHY DID YOUR DEATH COMPLICATE THIS ENTIRE FREAKING STORY? Ugh, and I had been looking forward to writing your death all day, but now I'm regretting it since I have no idea how to save this ending. Ashlie, ...you. ... ................................ I don't know. Decide who you're going to be with. Aloro or Lerran. And decide if you want to get out of here or not. Also, stop crying and blushing. It's getting annoying.

Re: Dear Character

DefiantDeer — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 07:14:05 +0200

Dear Lerran, Never mind. I take all of that back. Now that I know exactly why you're here, you can keep doing what you're doing. Thank you for filling my plot hole. I love you, now do the same to Ashlie.

Please stop acting like a circus acrobat of vigilantism, and start acting like the Champion of Underhill that you are supposed to be. -The Author P.S.

Dear Abby, There is no feasible reason why you've EVER heard anyone use Farscape swear words, before. You're not from earth and nor are you from the Farscape universe. So why the hell did you just use the word 'frell' AGAIN? I did enjoy you calling Dominican a 'frelling judgmental twatbag', though - because he's acting like a complete ass right now, and I've not entirely figured out why. Love, The author who can't seem to make your insults remotely consistent or sense-making.

Dear Villian, Or Gruber is suppose as you have a name... though it seems like a waste as you have completely DISAPPEARED. Where did you go?! You were supposed to be evil and plotting to take the power from the Vaughans, not just get mentioned three times in the ENTIRE novel. You don't even make an appearance! You need to decide whether or not you're going to be in this story, cuz as it is now it would work better if i completely edited you out. So make up your mind! ... Though i think you already have decided that you belong in another story; the one i had originally planned on writing this november. Is that why you disappeared? Maybe you thought this story was beneath you? ... ... That would explain so much. And i suppose it's for the best then. Well then, when i get around to writing the intended story you better show up! annoyed glare your author

Dear Rachel: If you have problem with deciding between Michelle and Shizuki, there's always the harem route. Dear Michelle: No need to worry, Rachel loves you dearly. *fingers crossed* Dear Rose: Were you in love with the innocent super adorable Kei? Dear Vlad: Next time you duel with M, she won't hesitate to bring you down. Dear Kei: I definitely agree RachelMichelle is the win! I still haven't got to the point of explaining your lost memory. How important is Shizuki to you? Since I can't see you two to be together, I mean, Shizuki is so not lolicon. :3 Dear S: Your name is just so difficult to spell, so is your kingdom. Dear M: ... Don't provoke Shizuki. It won't do you any good. All Characters: Good luck, keep surviving. Love, Author

Admittedly, I got a good chunk of words out of the aftermath and you being taken to hospital for a check-up, but it put one of your shows in jeopardy and generally made you look a bit daft.

Dear Ashlie, You're not going to get addicted to that nectar stuff, are you? It's making you crazy dangerous. Roscoe won't like that. Also, why did you cut Aloro's cheeks? The first one I could see, but that second one? Are you serious? And why are you standing on the desk? You have to jump out the window, and there's a chair standing between you and your window. Please get down. It's not like Aloro can chase after you. Oh, and why the maniacal laughter? Is the power making you insane? Please don't let it, you need to get back home so Roscoe can kiss you. And it'll be a really cute kiss and I don't want to miss writing that, alright? Oh, and just exactly how are you planning on ending your story? I don't even know and I'm about ready to write that. Please give me a hint so I don't screw this up. And stop talking about your heart, that's annoying. Now hurry up and jump out the window already. Dear Roscoe, Do you actually have a plan on how to get Ashlie out of the agency when she leaves Otherland? Because I don't know how you've managed to hack into everything WITHOUT THE AGENCY KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON and give Ashlie this generous window of time so she can jump on desks and fluff her story. And was it really safe to go back to Ashlie using Lerran, especially after the agency had already hacked into your glitch and made it leave her? Wouldn't they like, oh I don't know, be watching that Ani more carefully? Maybe? Unless... Dear Agency, ...are you blind, or something? So you found Roscoe's bug and made it leave, but how did you miss his second one? And how are you letting him hack into Otherland AGAIN? Are you not using a firewall or something? Do you not have an IT department? Or maybe... Dear Rebels in the agency, I need a specific number on how many of you there are. Line up, single file, right now.

Dear Arthur, Please oh PLEASE decide whether you want to be lady-like or a tomboy. It's truly bothersome to have to write both sides of you. And those moodswings. Dear Lord, don't get me started on those moodswings. Pay attention to your dreams. Foreshadowing. FORESHADOWING. BLATANT FORESHADOWING. By the way, Nikolai is madly in love with you. Love, Abby. Dear Nikolai, TELL ARTHUR YOU LOVE HER. I know, I know, it's vaguely painful having her punch you in the face whenever you try to pull off your suave charming rebel act, and I know that you know that I know that she thinks that you being part of the Mafia is really hot, especially with that hat of yours, but if you just tell her, she might actually not be so cruel. Also, you KNOW that someone is going to kill you, and you still run around without bulletproof armor and don't ride helmets when you ride your steam motorcycle! That's against the law, bro, no matter that the law was technically abolished when the government fell! And don't you dare pull that machine gun out on Gerard. Don't even think about it. Love, Abby. Dear S, NO ONE IS CONSPIRING AGAINST YOU EXCEPT FOR THE AEROGOVERNMENT, AND THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PLOT. ...so, I guess, the Plot is conspiring against you. Sorry about that. Love, Abby. Dear Blake, Haven't you ever heard of adoption? Your ability to hide emotion except for happiness is freaky, actually. You have the capacity to be a sociopathic killer. ...please don't do that. Love, Abby. Dear Aerogovernment, WHY? WHY YOU NO LIKE S? Except for the fact that she totally destroyed one of your frigates... but that really wasn't that bad... If you're going to conspire against something, conspire against yourself. S is one of the people who you don't want to conspire against because she will roast your face and eat it. And for the love of God, STOP ATTACKING EVERYTHING. Seriously not cool, broski. Not cool. Love, Abby. Dear Gerard, Thank you for being such an easy character to keep in character without being cardboard. THANK YOU. Your hair is really cool. Love, Abby.

Dear Alex, Please stop being a useless guy! You have a voice, use it! Plus, you need to help a pregnant woman get out of a prison labor camp. How do you plan on doing that when the baby's father is adamant on killing you and the mother? Dear Shin, I wish you'd just die already. You deserve it. Seriously. How many people have you tortured and killed? Forgot? Of course. If you weren't so darn sexy you would have been gone sooner. Dear Jacob/Edward/Aiden, Why did I have to make you suffer? All you were useful for was to get killed and make Eva and Alex even more anguished. Dear Jae, You're very original, I'll give you that. But why, oh why, did you have to get Eva pregnant? You know what happens to babies, especially mixed-race babies, at your prison. If you could last four years, why did the fifth one change that? I'm disgraced at your behaviour because you're a 37 year old man that should know not to get with prisoners. Shin ignores rules like that, not you! You follow rules, not break them. You need to stop breaking the rules and deal with the fact that you are supposed to be a role model. Your fixation on getting Eva pregnant is making me extremely mad, too. I mean, the stomach rubbing and singing in Korean is nice and all, but it does nothing but creep her out and make her hate you even more. You only want to kill the kid! I don't plan to let you know until later on, so you need to become less creepy. She doesn't want to sleep with you, she doesn't want to move to Pyongyang with you, and she definitely doesn't want to be carrying your baby. She's a 20 year old girl that wants to be pediatrician, not a North Korean soldier's illegal wife! Dear Eva, How did you get pregnant?! You hate Kim! He has spit on you, insulted you, and tortured you. Yet you still got pregnant...With that being said, I'm sorry that I put you through the stuff I did, but it's supposed to build character and make you grow. I know that you planned a future for yourself and hoped to get married when you were at least 30 and have children around 32-40 years of age, but sometimes things happen. I know that you did get pregnant for some weird round a-bout reason that even I can't understand at the moment, but the baby is dead! Trying to "compensate" by getting pregnant won't change the fact that the woman's baby died. Now you have to deal with getting Alex, yourself, and your baby out of the prison without Kim finding out. Oh, but Shin is always congregating around the border, so if he finds out, you know what he'll do to you. I'm also angered at your lack of emotion in the whole situation. Crying won't get you and your baby out of the situation. And I swear, if you even dare kiss Kim again, I will kill you off. I swear. So don't even think about sleeping with him AGAIN. Sincerely, Ana, a very irate authoress

That was a secret just for us until you forced your way into the plot. ...who am I kidding? Doesn't mean I forgive you, or will let you guys be the main characters, but I can't stay mad at you guys! Sincerely, your loving author

Dear Bloom, You were supposed to be the quirky comic relief. Why did you become a BADASS? I'm not complaining, but the change came so slowly I never even noticed it. Good work. Dear Cheyenne, I'm sorry I killed you. I know you were plotted to be in the whole novel, but the story just worked better if you died. I'm also sorry I killed you off-screen - nobody deserves that. Dear Green, Are you going to jump into the story already, or just sit around the sidelines and make cryptic comments? Sincerely, Your Writer

Dear Mei-Lan, As much as I hate to let you go, I think it's time for Xiao-Bei to accept that you're dead and move onto living life again ~~and accepting his upcoming death~~. ----------------------- Dear Xiao-Bei, Every time I think about past scenes with you and Mei-Lan, you keep insinuating that you're willing to have a tryst with her. NO YOU'RE NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE ONLY FOURTEEN AND A FREAKING TIBETAN MONK. Stop trying to gain a libido! Pure love only! ----------------------- Dear Tia, Forgive Ian already. Why are you still angry? He didn't even cause Julia's death in any way! ----------------------- Dear Ian, Shame on you. How could you not notice the similarities between Xiao-Bei and "Lucifer"? How striking is it to you that "Satan" is an older version of an asian kid you met a few years ago. ...The fact that you're in an alternate universe where you never met him doesn't mean anything! Or does it? ----------------------- Dear Amala, You're such an adorable little sweetie. You don't have many messed up things in your life, aside from your parents also dying in the ARK. I can't think of much backstory for you at all, except for warm, fluffy flashbacks. ----------------------- Dear Michael, How did you end up in this again? Dammit. ----------------------- Dear Layla, This isn't even a story where supernatural beings or concrete deities are shown. Stop telling me you wanna get in this novel and save the world by preventing the solar flare from ever occurring or the ARK from ever exploding. ----------------------- Dear Earth, I'M SUPPOSED TO RID YOU OF ALL LIFE. WHY IS THIS SO HARD? I can't end this now! ----------------------- Dear Solar Flare, I need you to kill all living things on earth. I hate you so much right now. I don't want them to dieeeee

Dear Ishmael, Thank you. You saved my NaNo, if not my usable draft, when you press-ganged my male lead into your space pirate fleet. You took him off to Vega 5 in a space limousine and became his partner in space antics involving a space Porsche, space scientists, space jellies, EvilCorp, and now the epic battle against space bees. All of it is immensely stupid and gave me 15,000 words in five days. For that, I will let you survive the pillage of the space hive even if it means you subsist on space honey for a year. Although you did take my contemporary romance a bit off track, I must say. Love, Kisanthe

And you and John are so sweet and adorable. You are amazing. Dear Eitan, Poo on your ever loving head. I'm glad Avelyn left you in the dust. Dear John/Mr. Wonderful, Yes, I admit in the beginning I hated you. I thought you were messing up my plot and were just there to make problems. But, Dear Dear John, I am so freaking glad you did.

Oh, that's right things from another earth. Axel, you poor poor thing in love with Aislyn the entire time and didn't even know it... But I did! Luna, you were a great help to Aislyn and I can thank you for that, but I do apologize for killing off all your family, being the author and all. Charlie and Anabeth, you are the perfect couple if I ever saw one. Aislyn, the man character of my book. You had to put a sausage link on that snowman didnt' you? Last of all MAYA, You turned out perfectly, exactly how I imagined you, why couldn't you have rubbed off on all the others? NOW go on.

Dear Saimon, You still don't make any sense, but at least your battle scenes are the funnest to write. Dear Jadith, I still don't know where I'm going with you. Can you help me? Dear Zakeas, Don't worry, you'll get more screen time soon enough. Dear everyone, For a first rehearsal, this is turning out quite well, especially with such an inexperienced director. Congratulations; the credit goes to you. Remember, the rehearsal continues December 2nd!

Dear Felice, You had no trouble with being lost in thought during your bath, and then you... stopped. What was that? I needed another scene, darn it, and you stopped! I wanted to make at least 10k this year, you Polish twit! Though I can kinda understand... Stefan is hot enough to melt a 10ft snowman, and he was doing his best to distract you the whole time. Remember, though, just because he's a Nazi doesn't mean he's a bad person... Amaryllis Dear Stefan, My Nazi hottie, how are you? You had masterful dialogue, but did you have to be *quite* so suggestive? Granted, I was only going to *allude* to you and Felice 'sealing the deal' later in the novel, but I was trying to make it so that you didn't come off as a complete scumbag. The fact that you are completely hot does not make up for it. Really, it doesn't. Stop grinning at me... Amaryllis Dear Daniela, I am so sorry that you only got one piece of dialogue. It is so hard writing lines for a 4-year-old, and my neice is only 2, so I don't really have a base for reference. Since you are the main plot device, I did plan to give you more to do, but I never got that far. Blame your mother... Amaryllis Dear Hans, You worked well as an idiot, gossipy footman. Thank you. Your contribution was much appreciated. Amaryllis Dear dressmaker, I'm sorry you never got a name, or any lines. This novel was from Felice's POV, you see, and she was asleep while Stefan took liberties with her wardrobe. But thank you for your generosity towards her and Daniela. Maybe in the next one, I'll tell it from the POV of one of Daniela's grandchildren, and you can get some lines talking about the handsome serviceman who was getting clothes for his new bride... Amaryllis Dear self, Maybe next year, you could do more research prior to writing? That didn't help, either. Or maybe we can go back to the novel we started last year, since things were actually going pretty well for that one. Oh, and do your best not to let NaNo eat you alive, all right? All right.

And you've got attitude problems and anger management issues - you're supposed to be the hero! Dear Annette, You're too happy to have an abusive boyfriend. I thought you'd go all angel of vengeance on him for using you, but then you met David and he turned you around. Now who will be my vigilante? Dear David, I miss horribly the best friend you were created in memory of, but really, D&D does not belong in a medieval fantasy novel. D&D is a medieval fantasy, so now we're just getting redundant. And you've completely changed Annette. She's much happier with you around, so I guess I should be grateful but now I've got to find another destructive power. Dear Lotheran, You're an assassin. Kill someone. I love you all, ~Kaelyn Angelfoot

Dear Joy, you're really hurt and closed off after the werewolf attack that killed your family and turned you. You seem to be all rage and stubbornness, and you've never met a person you won't be belligerent to. You're too much for most people to handle and you only have a couple of friends, but inside all that there's a hurt, scared, abandoned little girl who just wants to be saved and loved, but never will be. As in most fiction, I want to give you a happy ending, but you'll never quite get one. You're too stubborn and it's been too long and what happened was too bad, just to start, and all of it means you'll never quite feel loved or happy or safe, no matter how much someone loves you. Wow. You're way more tragic than I thought. When did I get this depressing? Love (because you need it), Carley

You have so much potential and bright ideas to spare, yet you're too busy introspecting and being shy to share much of this insight. XoXo, Essy Dear Fern, You were hurt. You've been traumatized by this situation for most of your life. I get it. But, know that having problems doesn't give you the right to be a "jack ass". Please, show more depth and layers to your persona outside your sarcastic remarks and like of confrontation. You are honestly starting to remind me of a certain person I hate. Not good at all for being the novel's main character. With much concern, Essy Dear Chris, Speak. Say... something. I know you have issues with your parents' martial problems, but... just. do. something. Be more relatable. Show more emotion. Have more depth. -Essy

Re: Dear Character

Essy — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 04:04:39 +0200

Dear Natalina, You are just the sweetest little girl with the best intentions, and your ability to live and enjoy so much of the present is quite formidable. You have a thrist for life at such a young age, and so question much of what surrounds you in your search of truth. It is sad that your cousin, despite her hurt and trauma, cannot see this for herself. But, even the smallest girl must grow and and mature at some point. You cannot focus solely on what is immediately there and resort to an egocentric lens, but instead learn to apply what you see and know, to become someone for the future. The little things you have and experience today will one day be a gone part of your memory, and you can only cherish what you felt and pass those wonderful memories on. Please, develop and grow a bit more with age (for my story plot's sake, at least...). Love, Essy Dear Sophie, Does more lie to your character than being a dreamer? Do you aspire to someday leave that mental cloud, and accomplish something in [your] reality? How do you plan on being Ari's best friend and emotional support, anyway? You're kind of like the mist in my mind. There is so much to you as a character but, at the moment, I just can't see it. Tell me who you you really are, and I'll develop you from there. -Essy Dear Patrick, Stop trying to be Mr. Perfect and facading your scars. You aren't, won't, and will never be, perfect, no matter how much you want this to be. You break and you fall and you feel just as any other human being on your planet, and even wading in the limelight and outside praise, you will hurt. You'll experience pain, and you'll survive. It's in your nature. It's in all of our natures. I won't let you be a Gary Stu. I only say this because I love you, as my character. -Essy Dear Ari (or whatever name suits you best), It seems that despite my efforts, I can never find comfort with your character's standing. I've noticed, you mirror so much of who I am, and it scares me. You seem to play a starring role in my mind, but never appear complete or stable in character. What is it that you want to offer to this story, anyway? Is it perspective and change, endurance and prospective, perhaps a dose of reality? Do you really love him? Is Demetri really the soulmate you've always sought? Why exactly do, or should, you guys even click anyway? Are you honestly ready for sex and the like at only fifteen? Do your personality's match up? How did you even grow attracted to one other? What if deciding to have sex leads to complications and hurt, such as pregnancy or heart break? Will you still endure even then? Would you both live a happy ending even amidst teenage parenthood? Who is this Demetri even supposed to be? You come from such a fragile background, and I just don't want to see you get hurt. I don't want you to seem cheap, either. When you find out enough about yourself, let me know. Love, Me

Dear Sean, It was much easier to write you when you were acting like a closet homosexual. Now that we've established you're straight, and I need you to woo the FMC you give me the silent treatment? So I need to ask... Sean... are you gay? It's ok if you are. It would make a lot of sense since you're supposed to be a womanizer and you're on the police force and you wax poetic about your partner and best friend a LOT. But here's the problem, I need you to be straight! If you're not, I need to bring up one of the other guys from the ranks so they can do the job I had planned for YOU! So come on now... just tell me. I promise not to be mad, and I will accept you just the way you are, but as of now, you're indecision is holding up this book and I just can't have that. Love and rainbows, L

This is getting a little ridiculous. Just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone else. --Lothlorien_lover Dear Oren, Why did you inform me that you wouldn't be talking very much in my novel, and then start talking nonstop the minute I actually introduce you? Why do you feel the need to lie to me? It makes me sad. --Lothlorien_lover Dear Neil, You may be named after my favorite Dead Poets Society character, but I hate you. Just sayin'. And, no, I'm /not/ sorry that Ilya killed you. You deserved it. I felt bad for you at first, but then you just turned into a little bitch who wouldn't stop complaining. I hate you. --Lothlorien_lover Dear Ilya, WTF? I still don't know what your personality. What's your deal, man? --Lothlorien_lover Dear Reichen, I'm sorry. I didn't intend for you to have a breakdown, but you know how things are. I, honestly, thought that that was Ilya who lost it. But then you showed up again, and I got freaked out, and I felt /so/ bad for you. I'm really, really sorry.

He's going to have to die. Sorry. I may keep him alive? But, that's only if he's not worth killing. And so far, he's worth it. I'd give him fair warning if I were you. But you keep being awesome! Your author Dear Captain Johnathon, You are ******* INSANE! My gosh! Wh-wh- why? I have to write these complicated scenes just to keep you alive! Lyanna's right. You should have just shot him, then she had to shoot him because.....let me see if this is right. You wanted a fair fight? You are insane! But whatever! You're the captain, what am I supposed to do about it? Your confused author Dear parents of my MC. You really need names. You're pretty essential to this plot. Which means too bad that you get killed. :/ Sorry. But you guys are so sweet and nice, I freaking love ya. Don't ever stop loving your daughter! Admires you Dear Lyanna, You're a complicated thing aren't you? I'm not sure if that's good or not. You're personality is pretty formed, which I'm extremely happy about. You at least SOMEWHAT balance out Captain Johnathon's insanity. Though my gosh do you fight with him a lot! You make the bickers so easy to write. Thank you for that! It makes me happy inside!

I'm afraid it's just going to get worse before the end. Thanks for being such a good sport about it (not that you have much choice). At least you get a love interest by the end -- even if it is Stockholm Syndrome-ish. Your Author Dear Jade, Do something already!!

Dear character who was being truly developed out of nowhere last night, You seriously need a name. I like you, I guess we've decided you're going to fall in love with our MMC. But, not right away, which you decided. And you know, I honestly never thought I'd get this whole fantasy world off the ground, I really would love to describe it. But, I can't justify describing it without a story and a background. You come along and *BAM* within a hour, there's 3k of some simple backstory. A defined personality, a struggle. A character already introduced that I can kill off when needed. Because I really want to keep you alive. And other people gotta die if that's gonna happen. *shrug* sorry. You are awesome!

I mean, I get it, you're depressed but GET OVER YOURSELF because it's NOT helping my wordcount, it's NOT helping my plot, it's NOT helping my self-esteem, or yours for that matter, now SHUT up. SIT down. AND LET. ME. WRITE. Sincerely, -Alice Dear Salem, I'm sorry that I emotionally traumatized you. I'm sorry that I physically traumatized you. And I'm glad and all that you're ready to leap up and run around the rest of your life to find her, but STOP IT. I have, like, FOUR chapters or MORE left and YOU wanting to leap to the must anticipated ending (by me, at least) is NOT. HELPING. Cinni has ENOUGH problems on her own, without YOU trying to gallivant off and screw my plot, got it? Also, stop having such an interesting personality because you're sapping all my creative energy and I have none left for Cinni. You are NOT the main main character. You are the second main character. Get a hold of yourself, man! Kill them with your awesomeness is not a phrase to be taken seriously, even if Toby says it. Thank you, goodnight, -Alice Dear Ms. A., I get it. You're an unplanned villain. You want to medel with stuff. But you can't take over my plot. Got it? Don't make me throw you in the vault with the Warblers. Thank you, -Alice

Dear characters, you were not supposed to hit on each other THAT early oO You have known each other for one. Freaking. Week. And no, I wont give you two "some privacy". You'll have plenty of time for that after your marriage. Next year. In late summer. Now that I told you your wedding date, can I have something else than flirting and teasing, please? In appreciation of your effort, your author

I've had this story idea for well over a year now, and I would like to be able to write more than just the prologue. Thank you for your time, Angryman

Dear Lily, Luciano, Chrystabelle, Kaleb, Daniel, Hazell, Derek, Sam, Natalia, Raimonda, and a few unnamed characters from a plot I don't have yet: Back off! I'm writing Rules of the Heart _and_ Purgatory right now, and finally got the the good part in Charlie and Desi! If you want to be restarted when I'm done, fine. I'll do it. I like your story. But not. Now. I really need to focus on Rules and Purgatory, okay? See you later (MUCH later), Arielle Dear Anfle's Heaven Story and my characters-- Alanna, Grey, Rose, Ben, Desi and all of your lives before and after these: Why? Why did you have to put the reborn idea into my head? Especially you, Desi, with your multiple roles. Do you have any idea how complicated you've just made your story?? As much as I needed it, I really needed a rising action more... Any ideas? No, not you, Desi. You've done quite enough (you're in this story twice, as Desmond _and_ Christian, although we don't like to talk about that...) Rose, this is your chance to play a bigger role. Stacey? Anything? I know I've neglected you a bit. It's not my fault! You're only in the beggining, and I don't have a beginning!! I really need you guys to tell me where this is going, okay? Otherwise I'll go back to the hellion fighters (see above rant). Please? Arielle PS- Tim, I swear I haven't forgotten you. But I can't write their date until I know what their relationship looks like beforehand. I promise I'll toss you into a few Rosie Rants, kay?

Dear Jethro, GO AWAY. --The Author Dear London and Oliver, Okay, you two, listen. Travis is busy with his amputee angst, as well as settling into Christine's house; Marchwater's victim was killed so long ago it's unlikely it'll crop up now, and she'd probably take out any threat pretty quickly anyway; Parker's incompetence can't be a story in itself, same with Anabelle's arc. Hoover is mostly a background character and Christine is better at working with other people's stories. The development of a plot is kind of on you. I know you two haven't had anything to do with each other for five years, apart from that incident with the pudding and the knives, but can you please work together on this? Maybe Jenna will help you. She's pretty bright. --The Author P.S. London, what are you doing in the sewer? For that matter, what are you doing out of yourself? It's very confusing.

G, It occurs to me that I don't actually know how many children you have in the end. It also occurs to me that you probably don't know either. Obviously there's Ricky and Mollie, they're the important ones. But do you and Ria eventually have another kid, like your simselves did in TS3 when my back was turned? And what is the deal with Lucy? 'Lucy' could refer to one of two characters; her mother could either be Mallory or Noelle and there's a different storyline depending on which one it is. Only one 'Lucy' can exist. Or neither of them should. Because firstly, your family is fucked up enough as it is, And secondly, I don't really know where it could fit in the existing storyline. Because if I were to make a storyline out of it, it'd have to be in one of the books from Ricky's point of view and he's got all of his own shit going on, so I don't know where it would fit. It would be like the Lulah storyline again except marginally different because she'd be your daughter instead of your niece. But you know what I mean. Whatevs. Love yoooou babyyyyyy - Faye xxx Ricky, I have listened to "Dance With Me Tonight" by Olly Murs and UNGODLY amount of times because of you. And, like, I'm really unsure about the plot of the threequel. I was thinking about the whole you-and-Al-change-the-past-and-there's-an-alternate-future-where-your-dad-becomes-the-king storyline, but I dunno. I think it's a bit too silly and the last book should be more kind of... Mockingjay-ish. More, like, political and stuff, you know? Maybe there could be a little bit more time travel with Marielle and whatnot but I dunno. We'll see. I think I'm gonna write it for JulNo. So I need a plot by then. Let's go! Less dancing to Olly Murs and more PLOTTING! -Faye xxx Marielle Linden-Rothmore, The only reason you exist is because I love your double-barelled surname. I believe you are the FOURTH GENERATION of the Rothmore Family that I've written about. Jesus fucking christ. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BREED. I DO NOT NEED MORE FRIGGING SEQUELS. The same applies to you siblings/cousins/etc. You definitely have some kind of half-brother/adopted-brother/cousin-thingy and I think he MIGHT be called Gabriel. Or Fiyero. No, Garrett would definitely veto Fiyero. I need to think of a Renesmee-ish name like yours. I dunno, I'll think of something. Hope I won't be seeing you soon, - Faye xxx Abby, You are officially a great-grandmother. How exciting. -Faye xxx

I don't know how I've lived with you for four stories if you don't have one. I know you do. Just stop being difficult, stop hanging around with Terry so much (you have a BOYFRIEND for gosh sakes!) and please stop being such an idiotic, oblivious fool. Thank you, -your author. Terrence, We get it. You're awesome. Everyone loves you best. You have your own fangirl fanclub. Thanks for that. I'm sure some people only read to hear you. That's great, now, shut up. You're not the main character. You are her best friend. Go do something else for a while. The plot has been focused entirely too much on you and it is sucking the life out of my romance thingy!!! WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE YOU SO MUCH??? And where can Tori get some of that without turning into a sarcastic gay vampire? I love you, but seriously. -Alice Sam, You really need a personality. I know it's there. I know it is. Just...try showing it. -Alice ps. Stop baking me cookies. Virgil, Please get a hold of your girlfriend and romance it up a bit, hmmm? -Alice AJ, I deeply look forward to pushing you down a flight of stairs or two next chapter.

Dear Wreath God damnit, why are ALL my favorite characters JERKS? You've been in my head for less than a week and the MOMENT YOU WALKED IN I was, like, in love with your character. You should know that I love you even more now that I know you totally saved Harold. You're horrible, but you're awesome for it. Also, you've got three pages so far and GODDAMN you're amazing. PS: Lesarde is right. You are totally the team Mom. You're a deranged mother hen who smokes, doesn't care about personal hygiene, swears every second word, and can't speak quietly. Dear Harold Can I just hug you forever and never let go? You're ADORABLE. God, you're the most optimistic MC I've ever had! I'm still figuring out your past, but at least I know one thing we have in common: It's those who laugh the most that are the most broken. I feel like a grandmother who wants to pinch your cheeks. Also: you're the first male MC I've had, plus the first to have glasses. Just thought you'd appreciate that. PS: Are you SURE you're twenty three? Like, positive? You look like MY age. Also, them bracers. What's up with them? I get the feeling Wreath engineered those, but what's the purpose? Regulating magic? Channeling it? Keeping you alive? Are you sick? Are you DYING? QUESTIONS. Dear Connor I have to be honest, when you came up I was like "...who's this dork?" but getting to know you a bit better, I've come to a horrible realization: If things in my life had turned out differently, i would be a female version of you. That's...scary. Anyways, you're an artist in a society where it's dangerous to be different, so I understand why you have those anger management issues. Hang in there, kay? I mean, I understand you're a LITTLE upset about being turned into a vampire against your will (Harold, you really need to stop attracting bad luck) but you're gonna be fine. In fact, if everything goes to plan, these people will be like your annoying new family soon! Yes, even Wreath (I don't care if he calls you 'Confag', I'm not killing him off...yet) Dear 'Roy' Are we EVER going to find out your real name? You DO realize that Harold is just going to keep on giving you new names until he either finds it or you tell him, right? Kid doesn't give up easily. In other news, you make a GREAT narrator. Seriously, you've doing a wonderful job. I love how you're so confused about all of this. Also, your instant connection to Harold is nothing short of adorable. Don't worry, you're not alone, Harold tends to have that effect on most people. He's a handful, but he listens to you. Also, Harold is right. You are one cool guy. Calm, silent, and stoic. The trench coat helps. Dear Lesarde Tell me, how on EARTH did you become friend with WREATH? Because you're personalities make so sense, but you guys just work so well together. You're all calm and reasonable and keep yourself CLEAN. I also have to wonder about your definition of friendship if you and Wreath just beat each other up all the time. I hope you realize that if you've correctly pegged Wreath as the team Mom, you're the team DAD in both demeanor and rank? Dear Vesper Fistbump, dude. So far, you're awesome. You and Harold are totally bros for life. You're the typical rash teenager...who is in charge of bombs on missions? Who's idea WAS that?! And you have a HOVERBOARD? I'M JEALOUS. Also, the roof is CLEARLY the best place to mess around on and fly through the air with Harold. Wreath is just jealous he can't fly around like you two. The whole 'breaking your necks' thing is just a coverup. He DOES sound like a nagging mom, doesn't he? Your pick up lines are terrible, by the way. Polish up a bit and MAYBE Michelle will respond (doubt it) PS: Being a half mermaid doesn't make you a pretty boy. People just get confused when they see you and Harold cracking up on the couch and trying on ridiculous shades Dear Michelle How does it feel to be the only girl on the team? Also, you're a werewolf? Sweet. I like you so far, you have the guts to stand up to Wreath (I think he likes you the best out of his 'children') and you're like a cool, older sister to those two dorks. Oh, and Vesper isn't going to stop the pick up lines anytime soon. And you're voice is amazing. Just keep on knocking sense into everyone when Lesarde isn't around and Roy isn't saying anything and things won't mes up TOO bad

It's always "Beatrox" or Beatrux". And take a shower once in a while. I don't care if you're imprisoned on a zeppelin. The readers want you to look cool. Meh, Avi8or Dear Axel, My dearest Axel, you seem to have gone insane. Today I've written two of your nervous breakdowns. Now you've been pissing yourself for four years straight and you can barely talk. I do hope you recover. Really though I hope you don't completely recover. I look forward to watching you scream at people. Hear voices in your head if you want. I don't know how Wren will put up with you. Actually I don't know how she put up with you before, you're kind of incredibly obnoxious. Don't change a bit! Well, recover from your current undignified state and then we'll talk.

Dear Olivia: I have a confession to make: I'm with another story. But it's not you! It's me! Actually, it's the plot bunnies. I haven't given up on you, I promise. I just need some time to get these ideas down so I can give you all the attention you deserve without being distracted. And yes, I realize I left you kneeling over Hugo's body staring at the knife sticking out of his chest, but be patient! As lame as it is, you /do/ know how the story ends. On that note, how about helping me out a bit? You deciding to kick that same dagger to within Asper's reach caught me by surprise. It was much better than what I had planned, so how about a little insight to how I can end this thing in a better way? I /am/ coming back. The One With the Pen P.S. Please don't go talking to my other characters! Or if you do, don't tell Raymond that I'm not being nearly as merciful to Riz as I've been to Hugo. I'd hate to have him throw a fit (too early at least). Dear Braen: You're lucky. You're the first one I follow in the next one, and you're not even my MMC. I suppose as my villain you'll be pleased to know that you're distracting me from this year's characters, but I have a request. I'm going to ask you to really stretch yourself. Put me at the risk of liking you, of pitying you. All I is need one glimmer of righteous bitterness, and then you can wreak havoc. But give me a back story! You know I'll write it. And isn't attention what every arrogant overlord like yourself really wants? The One With the Pen

Dear Allies of the City of New York, First off, that is the most pretentious name ever. Did New York even give you permission to use that name? Because I'm pretty sure she doesn't know you exist. But this is not the issue here. The issue is: Why are you trying to kill Charles? Charles is probably the most inoffensive human who ever humed, and furthermore he's never been out of London. Get your act together, guys, because if you're going to be my antagonist you have a long way to go. Oh, and please don't be spies. I swore I wouldn't have spies, and then Upstairs happened, and Sebastian, and really I think I have enough spies to be getting on with now. With Great Frustration, Indigo Dear Parker, Please be less neurotic. You are supposed to be very calm, level-headed, and good in a crisis. I'm using the City problems to explain it for now, but I can't make excuses for you forever. And I hope you turn out to be a decent doctor, because there are no griffons in this story and Charles has just been attacked by a bunch of pretentious nut jobs (see above). So I don't think he needs the quadrupedal equivalent of a falconer, really, especially a mediocre one. Insultingly Yours, Indigo Dear Charles, I am so sorry. -Indigo

Love, Your very frustrated Author, Julia. Dear Adrienne, Now that I have decided to write your story, it would be REALLY AWESOME if you would sit down and let me tell it. Just because I know what happens doesn't mean I don't need your cooperation to get it done. Please? Love, Julia. Dear Sonny, Thanks for being fabulous. Sorry about everything. Love, Julia Dear Dorian, Thanks for letting me kill you off in the prologue, I know you probably wanted to stick around and fix things, but this is just something Adrienne needs to do. Cheers, Julia. Dear Demetra, I need to know you a little better. I know you have a sister, I know you've seen some awful things and have grown up too fast. I know you're too nice for your world. But I need more. Where are your parents? How did you end up in this situation? Also, what is your sisters name? Love, Julia Dear Maria, Same goes for you. I know you're a badass who'll do anything that needs to be done to save the people. I know you're a high priestess. I know you're extremely powerful. BUT WHY. WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS. WHY WOULD YOU PUT A CHILD IN DANGER LIKE THIS. I get it, she's the only one who can save you all and blah blah blah, but HOW did you end up the kind of person who would do this? Thanks, Julia.

The latter two may be hard because your such a workaholic you're completely unlikeable. Also, you're boring. I hate you. Read a self help book or something and get a backstory. - Static Mud Dear Hollowpoint, You were supposed to be the interesting, likeable character but you manage to be boring. Also, you have no history. Did you just appear on the surface of the planet when the story started? Get a childhood! Also, you're friends don't like you, even though they were intended to. I'm disappointed in you. - Static Mud Dear Dictator, You need a name. Also a personality. And a backstory. There's no victory in defeating you. Be more evil and come up with a backstory for evil's sake. I'm rather displeased. - Static Mud Dear James/Martin, You were supposed to play bigger roles. I'm sorry Keena abandoned you/you died (respectively), but you never really stepped in or gave yourself personalities. I'm not happy. Not happy. - Static Mud Dear everyone else, You're boring. You need bigger roles. You need lives. Keena's family, be real people for once instead of woodenly eating pasta. Rebels, you need to be more interesting. And get some hobbies. Your deaths weren't sad. Citizens of both planets, have some culture or society or something. Guards, you need better aim, dammit. Get to it. - Static Mud

And you're middle-aged, too! When are you ever going to admit that, frankly, age has crept up on you? MMC, you have more endurance than a horny teenager, it's just not realistic anymore. Honestly, I'm going to make one of your daughters walk in on your frisky moments if you don't start acting your age soon. That said, it's delicious word padding. Maybe you shouldn't stop altogether. Your author (who, quite frankly, loves you to bits, damn you!)

Dear Terry, Stop being a war correspondent, because I have no idea what that entails. Also, you're not in this story, so go away, please. You can hang around with Jethro; he's in much the same situation. --The Author Dear Charles, I wish you hadn't gotten so attached to Terry. He was just supposed to be a stand-in, you know. Sometimes your sheer amount of feelings is kind of annoying. --The Author Dear Benedict, No no no! You can't be recruited by Upstairs! If you do that I have to write about the Conclave and Sebastian and Sergei, and we know how that went last time, plus I keep trying not to have spies. I don't want spies. And you're not actually in mortal danger, and I don't want you in a subdivision of the League. Which, by the way, when did that happen? Also, why do you hang around with Chase? She's five years older than you. --The Author Dear James Isaac Presume, I apologize for your name. But I'm not sorry enough to change it. --The Author

Dear Penfold, I hate you. I used to love you because you got my story going in the first draft, but now you won't do what I want at all. I liked that the first time around, but now I've got a story to tell. Be evil and create conflict, don't try to monopolize my storytelling. I know you like power, but I can't give it to you yet. Stop trying. I just hate you so much right now. I want you to die in a fire. Go be creepy and evil, and don't let me be scared of unleashing your dark side. If you can do that for me, I will love you again. --The Author, who is very angry with your constant rebellion Dear Sydney, Are you ambitious or not? I really need to know, because I didn't give you as much power as I wanted to,but that idiot Penfold didn't want to give any of it away to a carrier. It's not my fault, and I expect you to make the most of what he did give you. I don't care that you're shy, you need that ambition for my theme. Just a little bit, and mostly motivated by the fact that you want freedom. Oh, and stop crushing on Essen, he's a mook. Really, he shouldn't even have a name. And don't fall in love with Mark either. You have Ramon and that's it. --The Author, who feels bad about what she's going to do to you in the middle of the story Dear Mark, Just pretend that you don't know Sydney yet, okay? I know you were her best friend in the first draft, but that's not how it works now. You need to figure out how your going to grow to trust each other despite the fact that you've just met each other. I can set up the scene, but you have to make it work. Sydney's not going to trust you, considering that she just got stabbed in the back by Penfold and sees double crosses everywhere. Oh, and you're not allowed to fall in love with her. I'm serious about that one, but you probably won't listen to me. --The Author, who likes you much better with your personality reboot Dear Ursula, Please be awesome. I know you've only been in the rewriting in passing so far, but I need you to be awesome. I'm going to kill you in the end, so make sure you get as much done as you can before that. And no, you never get to see the world outside of Grubindy. Please believe that I'm sorry. I really am. :'( --The Author, who likes you better than the rest of the characters Dear Anthony, Aren't you worried that Penfold is going to mess up with your box? Don't you think you ought to check on him right away. Like, so that you get mentioned by the team of charmers before Sydney steals the box? Really, I as the author don't trust Penfold further than I can throw him, and you shouldn't either. He's a power-hungry little piece of crap who ruins everything by trying to take over the story, and you really ought to check on him. That's an order. --The Author, who likes you better than her other villains Dear Etherigen of Grubindy, About how much would you say people hate you? I mean, I know they're kinda mad that you didn't recharm the ceiling, but how far does that stretch? Does Ursula hate you, for example? And why didn't you recharm the ceiling? I know you're just about as morally pure as any race can possibly get because you embody everything I respect in the world, but you've gotta admit, you messed up there. Please, show your goodness, but don't be obvious about it. --The Author, who loves you more than anything Dear were-squirrels, You are awesome. That is all. --The Author, who really, really wants to find a place to put you in the story. To All of my Characters: Hang in there. We'll get through the second draft one way or another, even if some of you get killed. Just be yourselves, don't let me mischaracterize you, and fight for what you want. We will finish draft two! Believe it!

Dear Alex, I know you came out of nowhere at the beginning of the story and i never expected to write you in, but you gave me novel a life and plot. I seriously love writing your fighting scenes and can't wait to hatch another one of your plans! You may not be a protagonist and may never be a love interest, but that just adds to your charm in my eye. You are by far my most favorite character and when I finally finish this book I may seriously consider writing one completely about you ^.^. Please just don't give up on me!

But really, I need to thwart you. You are NOT PERMITTED to keep my MCs from escaping. DO NOT DO IT! Try,but fail. Just thought I'd give you the advance warning, because you tend to be pretty good at thwarting me. -The Author

Eon, Ok, I'm thinking of shortening your name to Eon and I'm just seeing what it looks like. Hmm. Kind of weird but I think I could get used to it. And it makes a bit more sense than some of your other nicknames. So, uh, I need to get back into your 14-year-old mindset. Recently I've been pretty fixated on the sequels and 30-year-old you is a lot different to how you were in the very first book. I don't really like the midset you were in back them but hey, it's got to be done. Lots of love, Faye xxx Ricky, Stop distracting me. Faye xxx Gaz, You too. Faye xxx BabyRoth3, I need to stop watching One Born Every Minute. So I guess you're born at some point after the sequels. You don't have a name yet, though. What's your name? You better not be interesting because otherwise I'll be forced to write a book about you. And I don't need any more sequels damnit. Faye xxx BabyRoux2, You STILL don't have a name, since I decided Alfredo was a stupid name. You don't really NEED a name seeing as you're not important in any of the books but it'd be nice to know.

Dear Smiley, Please stop being so entertaining. How did you even get in this novel? You are a reanimated dragon skeleton living in the basement! I don't know what you have to do with the plot, but I like you too much to cut you. Welcome to The Archivist, I suppose. Dear My Favorite Lovely Thief, Do you have a name? If so, please tell me, because trying to guess it is killing me. Don't get me wrong; I like you. You're funny and charming, and you don't have an inferiority complex like some people (don't worry, I'll be getting to him later). But seriously. I can't pull a Lemony Snicket and just not give you a name. You grew up with the MC, so I'm pretty sure you have one. Just let me know when you finally get one, alright? Also, the guy you're working for is bad news, but stay with him for the sake of the plot. Dear Joseph, Sweetheart, you know I love you. You're probably one of my best-developed MCs ever, and I've spent a lot of time working on your personality and history. But I have one simple question: why don't you like people? I can understand why you don't like other magical people, what with your family and everything, but you don't seem to like normal people either. It's hard to introduce new characters when you squirm at the thought of having to be social with anyone!

Dear random flood of kind-of-but-not-really-Lord of the Flies characters, Did you really have to show up in my novel? Really? It's a little suspicious when, on 'Jack's' orders, 'Roger' is leading a group of people to kill this cute little guy named Simon. Romeo and Juliet showing up was bad enough, now I've got to deal with you people? Hoping we don't read anything good in English class... AurorA Dear Michael, You are being very contradictory. First you decide that helping to kill Simon's okay, then you're like, "No! I'm gonna save him!", then you're hiding in random alleys, then you're talking to a random Lord of the Flies-but-not-really character about how you're going to carry the kid to Romeo and Juliet's. I still don't know if you do or not. We're at Roger talking to you. BE AFRAID. He might kill you. And then Nikolaus would be frustrated and kill you as soon as you woke up. Or maybe he won't kill you because, after all, he's not Lord of the Flies!Roger, he just happens to have the same name... and works under a guy named Jack... and leads the killing of Simon... but he won't show up after this except for MAYBE a brief time in 20 Lives. That turned out longer than I expected... AurorA Dear Samuel, It's really frustrating when you do annoying things. Especially when I would've done the exact same thing. GOOD GOD. WHY ARE YOU SO MUCH LIKE ME. YOU SHOULD STOP. BE NICER. Though it would be extremely OOC... AurorA Random small children, Why, exactly, are you in the Suicide Division? Because you make Nikolaus sad, and then he feels compelled to buy you candy and balloons. And toys. Suicide Division + small children...? AurorA

Dear Liu Alan, Thanks for getting a name. That was incredibly awesome of you. But you're still really, really confusing...Why does your personality keep changing? First, you were the tough, experienced warrior who expected never to bond with a human with his life (and was okay with it) until you actually felt the emotion of pity and decided to pick Sigrid because no one else would, but now you're the young, noble, sweet, happy, empathetic knight-ish warrior who seems to be lonely and insecure. How did that even happen? I thought you were Sigrid's DARK side, not her LIGHT side! (Admittedly, losing you when you're a more happy, cheerful sort of character makes more sense when you consider her reaction, but STILL) And where were you born? Your home-world or a space-ship? I honestly can't tell, and it bugs me. Just because you're dead doesn't mean you get to be mysterious! Your name is suspiciously similar to Liam. Why do you like his name so much? And what do you mean the constant flood of characters named Liam is my fault? The Cheesy Authoress, who is some combination of confused, annoyed, and laughing maniacally. Dear Tasha, So far, you have been the easiest character to work with. It was so nice of you to exist before becoming a character. Do you ENJOY telling Blatant Lies? Does anyone actually believe them? How do you manage to avoid punishment every single time, anyway? You're sneaky, troublesome, rebellious, manipulative, and you don't seem to care that your acquaintances always take the blame for things that are your fault. I suspect that you are the cutie who gets broken; be warned, and try to tone down the whole hatred of Kenderson. He's actually a really nice guy, you know. How did you just randomly end up in the army/crewing a spaceship after military school? Were you just immediately shipped off to the army? And how did you even MEET Brynn? You're totally different. Wow, I know less about you than I thought. The Cheesy Priestess of High Authorizing. Dear Brynn, You could have just TOLD me that you were sarcastic and cynical and snarky instead of convincing me that you were all shy and sweet first. Cheesy Dear Casimer, Carry on being awesome and please don't die. I like you too much. Oh, and you should probably remember to hate people. Just in case you forget. Cheesy

Wash your mouth out with soap, young lady, or else. And for god's sake start doing something a little out of character would you? I'm bored with writing kick-ass superheroine all the time; be a bit more...normal. Sincerely, ~ N ~ Dear Dimitri, We get it. You love Charlotte. She loves you. But you're a sailor and she's the daughter of a Sir and the niece of an Earl, which makes you star-crossed lovers. Life is unfair. Stop bitching to me about it and you might get your happy-ever-after. If not, I'll push you off the airship. Best, ~ N ~ Dear Tom, I love you. You are the best Urchin ever in the history of Urchins. That is all. Love now and forever, ~ N ~ P.S Please stop saying 'cor blimey' though - this isn't Dick van Dyke does Cockernee.... Dear Shelley, Byron, Joseph Merrick and Mary Jane Kelly, I'm terribly sorry for dragging you all into this...it's not like you didn't have enough tragedy in your actual historic lives; I guess the last thing you needed was a crazed writer-type coming along and flinging you all into literary abandon. I'm also really, really sorry that Mary has to be killed by the Ripper all over again. Don't worry, Mary, you're avenged. We get him this time, I promise. Consider dedications to your memories (and those of the other Ripper victims) part of the final book. With deepest and sincerest afffection, and humble apologies, ~ N ~ P.S Darling Byron, I would also apologise for ruining your reputation, but frankly you managed that well enough of your own accord in real life...I guess you really don't need my help at all where that's concerned...

You really need to be badass enough for Sydney to really have to run away. You did a good job working with the idea that it was Sydney's choice, and not just chasing her away or dying. Why do you always say "well?" I mean, really? -The Author Dear Ramon, So you're in love with Sydney. You need to make your move a bit sooner if you want there to be anything between you two. Otherwise, just stay away from her. She's not going to be a part of your life for very long, and quite frankly, I don't want this turning into a paranormal romance. Sorry, but you're a werewolf.

Dear Stranger characters, I adore all of you to pieces, even the ones I haven't met yet, but please stop milling around in my head and decide just what to do with the plot. I don't even know what to call this thing! An adventure-spiritual-family-cultural-possibly-world-changing-complicated mishmash. Frankly, it's disgraceful, and several of you are supposed to be quite intelligent. Work it out. Also, try to restrain your rampages over the globe. I know in this day and age we have instant communication over long distances, but it would be a bit easier if you could mostly stay in one place together. - love and hugs, Your Writer Dear Heru/Danny, Young man, you need to start pulling yourself together. You're the main character, for heaven's sake! Yes, I know you're going through a lot and your whole life was a semi-lie and your father just died, but that's no excuse for moping around and turning yourself into an Egyptian statue. Also, I need you to gain leadership qualities, so why on earth must you insist on being so shy and insecure! Decide on what to do with your life, and then let me know. Frankly, I don't much care whether you want to be some sort of legendary cultural and religious revival or whether you just want to start a cool organization, but please let me know soon. Can't start writing without you! Also, you need to be an advisory/mentor character for some of the younger kids in the next series, so I advise you to start gaining some experience and wisdom to dispense. I know it's difficult, honey. Buck up and we'll pull through together, okay? - Love, Your Writer Dear Chris, All right, please let me know more about your character, and just why you fixated on Danny as your rival-cum-friend. You sound like you just dropped out of an action manga. A back story would be really helpful, and I'd appreciate it if you could tell me why you're an athiest. Raised that way? Chose it? Do you have a bleaker outlook on life or are you the more cheerful type! Either way, thank you for coming in because I think you just might make Danny snap out of it. Can't wait to write you. - Love, Your Writer Dear Linda, Sorry for changing your name so often, but honestly what can you do with a woman who just tells you that she wants it to begin with L? Now I know that you're Danny's mom and probably some kind of agnostic-you-don't-really-enjoy-thinking-about-religion type, so I apologize for giving you two fervently religious ex-husbands and a son who likes to recite ancient Egyptian prayers on the front lawn in advance. Hm. Are we rather attracted to our opposite or something? The apologies done with, I really need you to start connecting with Danny. I know it's awkward, but can you make an effort? And maybe, just maybe, you could try to relax a little? Just try to flow with the plot, when we finally come up with one. You can't control everything. - Love, Your Writer Dear Cliff, Okay, here's the way it is. You're a Christian and you really believe in your faith. I get that. You also have problems with your ex-wife and you worry about your two kids a lot and you already have a full life. I also get that. But I really need you to engage with this story, even though it's rampantly and unashamedly filled with Ancient Egyptian religion. You and Danny could get along, I think, if you didn't keep bashing heads over sticky theological questions. At least you stimulate each other intellectually. Just try for me, please? I know Danny threw a wrench into the works, but if you could see your way towards maybe becoming something of a father figure for him? The poor kid just lost his dad, and he's at that vulnerable age, and I'd hate to send him over to the archeologist for all his support because that would make you feel guilty and lessen any chance of you two working it out. Bottom line: stop being so standoffish! - Love, Your Writer Dear Archaologist, With the utmost politeness, who the heck are you and why did you suddenly start showing up and dispensing lines of wisdom like Egyptian Gandalf? I know you own a bookstore, and you like real fires in your fireplace and you really care about Danny and think he's important, but you've got to clarify your position. How did you two meet? Are you actually going to propel this godforsaken plot along? And don't you think things are going to be awkward between you and Cliff? You are going to run into each other, and I'm terribly afraid that you won't like each other. Discuss. And on a cold business front, you wouldn't have enough money to casually fund trips to Egypt, would you? - Lovingly, Your Writer Dear Chris' parents, Um - so I know your son is a handful, but do you have to be so nonexistant? I don't think you're dead, so please tell me why you're never around. I'm really fond of Chris, he's a genius and you should appreciate him more, so why don't you? Please reply. - loving and puzzled, Your Writer Dear Danny's father, First, may I thank you for your sacrifice, which started the whole book. And thank you for being sensible enough to teach Danny English on the side. But would you mind explaining your reasoning behind the whole Ancient Egyptian thing? I know how important it was to you, but what made it so urgent for you to actually make your son believe that? It's playing merry heck with his character, and I can't move the plot along if the main character is too busy having an existential crisis to do anything. Did you know the other parents who show up later? Are you part of some group? It seems kind of heavy to have it be just a personal decision. I know that you're a really great guy and you'd never want to cause your son unnecessary pain, so please, make it clear just why you felt it to be necessary. Also, I feel like you want to hang around the plot some more, even though you're dead. Would you like to be a ghost or a diary? Get back to me on that. - Lovingly, Your Writer Dear Tutankhamen, Look, you're already a living presence in the book, so please stop giving me the puppydog eyes and asking for excerpts. I just don't think I have room. Maybe I can write a prequel for you if we can ever get this story off the ground. And what do you mean by comparing yourself to Danny? I don't think he can handle the whole restoration of Egypt thing right now. For one thing he's in America, and for another thing, Egypt's kind of changed since your day, and he's not the Pharaoh. In short, please resign yourself to being an inspirational memory and tear-jerker at the moment, and I'll see what I can do later. - Love, love, love, Your Writer On a closing note, I love all of you guys and I really want to do you justice in this, so please all pitch in to help. Just figure out that plot and whether you ever get to Egypt this book, and we might be in business. Let's all do our best, everyone!

Dear Logan, ...You're pretty good at doing what I tell you. Good. Although, if you could help me out with what to do about your kidnapping that would be great. You know, figuring out how, when, stuff like that. -Fantasy Dear Cain, I'm sorry! You had to die, it was a very important event! You came back, I'm not totally evil! Come on, your death scene was one of the first things I envisioned about the book, without it you might not even be written! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! And...I'm sorry that Logan get kidnapped right after you guys get together... -Fantasy Dear Marco, You're pretty much working for me. Even though I changed your whole look, but still. Thanks for working with me! -Fantasy Dear Nera, Give Necko a chance, would ya? Just because she's not as strong as you (or at all) and is a bit of a push over doesn't mean you get to be such a bitch to her. And give Soyya a break, he's got a crush on a girl, it's not like he's doing anything wrong. -Fantasy Dear Soyya, You are so much trouble. Here you come in, all cute and wimpy and stuff, and then you fall for Necko and now I kinda ship you! It's not fair! She has a love interest! She's a lesbian! She's in love with Nera! Give up before I have to kill you off. I really like you, so try and behave! -Fantasy Dear Necko, I'm so sorry! You're life is kinda...horrible. You're stuck in the Underworld, you're surrounded by demons who would kill you as soon as look at you, and a lot of shit is gonna happen to you, especially in the second/third book (though I haven't come up with everything that's gonna happen, so...) But...it's not all bad! You and Nera get together, and it's all happy! Except...when it isn't... -Fantasy Dear Aroyle You are a sick creep. You deserve all that is going to come to you. (Death, torture, excruciating pain. Hopefully.) -Fantasy Dear Ari, Help me! I need to know more about you! I need to know, where you live, exactly, in the sea, what your sisters names are, what your dad's name is. And more importantly, I need to know what the hell your plot is! I have the basic stuff, but I need more! Stop flirting with Path for five minutes and help me! -Fantasy Dear Path, Stop bitching about your damn name. You don't see Myth or Theo complaining, do you? Pathological isn't that bad of a name. It's cool! -Fantasy Dear Nili, I need to find a way to bring you into the story more. You seem interesting. -Fantasy Dear Camp Nano charries (Path, Ari, Nili, and co.) Help me!!! Camp is only in two months!!! -Fantasy

Work on those things, please. -Indigo Dear Travis, Do you even have a personality? Because you are the point of view character, so that's kind of a problem. -Indigo P.S. Parker is thirty, not seventeen, and you are an idiot sometimes. Dear Charles, All the bear has gone out of you. It's disappointing. Get it together before I introduce you in the story, or I'm taking Terry away. -Indigo Dear Terry, Go AWAY. -Indigo

Dear Calvin & Mandy, Seriously. You need to distance yourselves from me. For the plot to exist, you get kidnapped and you starve. Yet I can't bring myself to let it happen. Come on, please provide me with something that'll help me get away from you all. Make yourselves different from who you are based off of, okay? With much love, Kaite Dear "Braden MacNabb" First of all, you're last name is going to change. It's too similar to Alice's - and that's staying the same. Unless, for a plot twist, you ARE Alice's son. That, actually, would be pretty cool. So, yeah, you're now a "McKnabb" - it's not too different, I hope. And, do you actually like "Braden" as a first name? It doesn't seem to fit you, but it might grow on me if you'll live up to it. With much love (yet hate, because you're causing my distress over C & M), Kaite

Dear Elias, What... the... fuck? How did I never notice your transformation? You're not even the same character anymore! I'm not even sure you still fit within the story... I hope so, because I like the new you. But the story needs the old you. Maybe there's a possibility that I can make sense of your transformation... but I have a feeling that'd be a bumpy road, seeing as the new Elias doesn't switch allegiances quickly and the old Elias went where the wind brought him... Pfft. You're a piece of work, you. I'm still stunned. Love, Gawd

Dear Bird Boy, Yes. You lost your loved ones. But you're on the run for freedom so would you /please/ shut up, stop whining, and get on with it? You can deal with it later-- it's very boring. The Author. --- Dear Death, (and for that matter, the rest of you from that series) WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME ANYTHING?!???! YOU'RE THE FREAKING NARRATOR OF EIGHT BOOKS! Ahem. Just because you're the best speaker doesn't mean you get to sit around while everyone else does the work for seven novels before Luck /finally/ drags you in completely. Do. SOMETHING. You have four books dedicated to you, essentially. TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS ALREADY! The Author --- I could go on, with all my characters... But that deserves a dear author.

But please, I have to know what you /did/ before I can help you! And stop conning people into thinking you're cliche. We both know you're not, but your amnesia gimmick is getting old. Fast. Thanks. I think. Than Dear June, You... where do I start with you? Your eyes are purple. You're worse than Sun about tricking people into cliches. C'mon, you told me about all your hidden depths and the nice, interesting background that you have. But why is it that when I write about you in third person, you act like a whiny bitch? Seriously, I'm about to scrap you completely. You see this? This is me hitting the backspa Dear three other characters, I know one of you is a soldier, but the rest of you! Cut me some slack already! Are you poor shop owners? Would you kill someone if you were paid enough? Ok, I know you'd /all/ say yes to that last one, but that's about all I know! Do you WANT names? I need to learn more about you! Even just a gender! Please! A gender would be a good start! But no, you three like to be the dark mysterious types. And I know I have a lot of time to figure you out. But I want to start writing! You know that means you would finally get to... dare I say it, live!? Thanks. Than Dear Sun (again), Please? Just one tiny hint what you did to get banished? Was it about a girl? Did you hit on Moon again? I really hope you didn't. Pervert. Thanks, Than

Dear Rose, I love you so much, but please stop being so incredibly moody and boring. I'm not saying you uninteresting, I'm just saying you lack originality and creativity. You know, it's very difficult to write a novel about a little girl who hates the world and has constant bad days. You should really be happy more often. I get that you're stressed with everything, but you know what helps with that? YOGA. You know what? You should really try yoga. Also, your personality is SOOOOO much like mine that it is just BORING to write about you. Please consider and get back to me soon, before my 30 days are over, thank you. :) ~Author <3 Dear Sean, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHARACTER! I'd like to start with my 'thank yous', then I'll get to my complaints. :) Thank you for being amazing. Thank you for being nice to Rose, even though she's a grump. Thank you for generally doing what I say, even when I know you don't want to. Thank you for giving me something to write about every day. Alright. Now complaints. Why are you so unrealistic an perfect?! Why are you so amazing?! Why do you only exist in my head?! Why don't you ever give Rose any trouble?! Like really! You're making conflict a SERIOUS challenge here! Why do you smile so much!? It makes me look stupid when I keep writing 'he smiled' over and over again! So now, I'm gonna go. Love, ~Author <3 Dear Tuna, Please start living up to my initial thought and description of you. Like really. Stop being a jerk and act like a REAL seven-year-old. Or else. GRR, ~Author<3 Dear Farren, I hate your guts. You're too perfect, ~Author 3 Well, it felt good to get that out. :D

BecauseToreyCan — Tue, 01 May 2012 12:14:31 +0300

Dear Christiana, Sorry I abandoned you after NaNoWriMo finished in November, but now that I’m trying really hard to edit your story, I need you! But…. I need a new you…. Seriously! You’re an awesome character and I love your insanity, but after re-reading through my novel… well… you need improvement! There is nothing about your past, and that plays a BIG factor to your insanity. Also, I think you need to talk to yourself a lot more. I do it, and it helps me a lot. So start talking to the voices in your head! They like you! Oh, and while you’re at it, try to make sure that the side you’re on isn’t obvious. You’re supposed to appear as a good guy, and then appear as a bad guy other times, but really you’re supposed to be on your own side. Which is somewhere between good and evil. So get your act together! And one last thing… Fearrow is still madly in love with you… Just thought I’d let you know. Sincerely, your creator, Torey. ~~ Dear Fearrow, What’s wrong with you?! Are you mental?! You’re STILL in love with Christiana?! She’s insane! Literally! There is no possible way in the world that she would ever love you back! You even asked her if she was capable of love! And do you remember what her answer was? “Well, I’m pretty sure I love pancakes.” That was her answer! And you’re still in love with her! Damnit! You need to get over her somehow! Actually better idea… Go and fall in love with Alice will you! Sure… you might piss off Tyson a little and confuse Alice HEAPS because she’ll be unsure if she should be with you or Tyson, but it’s better than you trying to get Christiana to fall in love with you! Okay… I’ve had my rant… you may got back to sharpening your Demon Daggers. Oh, and it was Micah who hid your Demon Daggers in the dragons den. You may go kick his butt if you want. Sincerely, your creator, Torey. ~~ Dear Ivy, I’ve already told you this, but I’m going to say it again… STOP HITTING ON THE SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD!!! You’re eleven years old! He is way too freaking old for you! I know you’re going to be a vampire when you turn twelve which means you’ll live forever as a twelve year old… but seriously… STOP IT! It’s annoying and you’re not helping the plot! So if you don’t behave, I’m going to have to kill you off. Sorry. Sincerely, your creator, Torey. ~~ Dear Alice, You annoy me. You’re one of the main characters and you SUCK! No offence! But you do. Stop being such a girly girl for starters! You’re a tomboy, and you’re acting like a little princess! Also, stop letting Tyson speak for you! You have a mouth! Use it! And one last thing, pick up a dagger and fight a bloody demon! You’re no help what-so-ever during fight scenes because you just hang in the background! You’re supposed to be fearless and really stupid, so fighting demons works perfectly for you! Alright, that is all. Sincerely, your creator, Torey. ~~ Dear Rat, I freaking love you! You’re the only one of my characters that actually does as his told! You’re prefect! And although the others think you’re jokes suck and are annoying, I love them! They’re brilliant! And you’re sarcastic optimism is fantastic! You are my favourite characters at the moment! I like you a lot! So I’ll kill you last. (Yeah… you die… I think… You might live. Depends on how the plot works out…) Sincerely, your creator, Torey. ~~ Dear Jasmine, Stop being a bitch to your brother (Rat if you remember that you’re actually related) and also Christiana. They’re trouble makers, and get into trouble a lot. Get used to it, otherwise you die as well. Sincerely, your creator, Torey.

Dear Latea, Is it bizarre if I want you to be real? I admit that I love your character, entirely. Completely. There isn't a single thread of you that I do not enjoy. Unfortunately, words are just a gateway to another world. While it's parallel for most, it's, sadly, a no-way trip for you. I want you to be real so badly, even if it's just for you to be a picture. You're wonderful, I enjoy your personality, and I love writing you, you're just that great! Unfortunately, because I'm forced to torture myself by merely writing you instead of inventing some sort of machine that extracts a human being from a story, you're stuck as beautiful words, dancing from page to page.

And let's be honest you are essentially just a spoiled, whinging, middle-class arsehole who's really not ever faced any actual hardship, and hasn't exactly got any interesting character depth or flaws, yeah? And I know you kind of want me to write this stupid spin-off book that's an extended paragraph from the current book and is basically just you travelling through time and crying, but IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, YEAH?

You need to learn to be a bit more grateful, or I swear, I'll mess with your brain until you think you're your own sister. One morning, you'll wake up in bed beside Spencer. Actually, with how close you two are, that might not even faze you. Fine, then. I'll rewire your brain to make you think you're Spencer, and then you'll wake up in bed with your sister. Sick?

Trust me, I wasn't intending this to really become a cheesy romance novel, either. Blame it on the plot bunnies, or just the insane chemistry you and your playboy boyfriend turned out to have. However, I'm not going to apologize. No, you two won't get a sequel, BUT you two have both become my two favorite characters that I've ever brought to life. So thanks for that. Now get back to your psychotic eruption of emotions. With Love, Chloe

Dear Nico, There, you got to kill Siarl, you happy? I think I am. I mean, he wasn't contributing much to the plot besides giving Rommily somebody to talk to, and this way I might be able to give Thomas a scene where he gets over his hatred of Highcastle people. Also, it makes total sense now. I didn't realize it until you wrote 'THE END' on the canvas after killing Siarl- you weren't getting revenge on Rommily for sentencing you to death, you were getting back at your brother for not trying to stop it! So you returned to the castle twice to kill his daughter and the girl's mother, knowing that would hurt him more than killing him to start with. Now the only problem is figuring out how you knew Roulanne wasn't actually Rommily's daughter... - The Author
