      <title>Dear Author</title>
      <description>Characters not happy? Now they can write to you as well.

Dear Syikana,

Seriously you're going to put me through hell aren't you? I'm not even techincally your MC. I'm a SMC. Your MC's best friend remember? She should be going through hell not me.

No love.
Owen.

      <description>Dear LadyJaneway,

My middle name is DELTA CENTER? Seriously? Seriously? You are aware that this is a novel set in the 21st century and not some 1950s sci-fi magazine piece, right?

Yours (but only through copywrite law and not through any sort of love),

      <description>Dear Gwynn,

I hate you. Why me? Why do I have to be the one that everyone hates. Why am I the bastard son of the Duke and the evil sorceress? My life sucks. And my jerk of a cousin/brother isn't making things any better. You know what I found today? A man thong. Aiden's man thong. I think I'm going to kill myself. Oh but wait! I could just kill Aiden and then I'll be next in line for the thrown...BUT NO. You won't let me! Because there's a "sensitive side" to me and deep down I "care" about Aiden. Pfft. Who are you kidding woman?

I hate you,

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear GildedFox,

Who do you think YOU are?  You really think that you have what it takes to write about me? You think that a naive piano teacher from Kansas is going to be able to capture my genius on the written page?  Come on, even Gary Oldman couldn't do me justice and he's the greatest actor that ever lived.

Yours Reluctantly,
Ludwig van Beethoven

P.S. You're very lucky that I'm interested in this Sophia character or else I wouldn't have anything to do with this debacle.  Now...I'm not seeing any sex scenes in this outline of yours and it has me a bit concerned...

***

Dear GF,

Stop giving all my good scenes and lines to that silly female protagonist that you've made up.  She's not even real...I was actually there!   And stop staring at my glass eye.

In good faith,
Ferdinand Ries

****

Dear GF,
 
Just because you had trouble playing my oboe concerto in high school does NOT give you permission to portray me as a pompous @$$ in your so-called novel.  Nevermind the trouble between me and Ludwig, that is none of your business.  Perhaps if you had spent more time practicing your oboe concertos instead of sitting around daydreaming about Beethoven we wouldn't be in this whole mess in the first place.

Not Entirely Yours,
Joseph Haydn

***

Dear GF,

First off, I'm flattered by the fact the fact that you've decided to create m and bless me with talents and wit and I'm even more excited about the idea of meeting the great Ludwig van Beethoven.  But I've got some issues.  Some of these things you've got me doing seem a little out of character for a woman in Napoleonic Era Vienna.  But I'm intrigued, so I'm giving you the benefit of doubt, but don't get me wrong.  I'm not at all comfortable with the situation you've put me in and I'm going to fight you every step of the way.  You've got me giving up a comfortable lifestyle with a reasonable man in order to follow my passions and ambitions on some sort of risky adventure with a tortured and temperamental genius.  I'm not so sure that I'm okay with all of this just yet.  What do you think this is, Jane Eyre?

Trusting you won't mess this all up
Sophia Reynard (a.k.a. Fredrik Rheinhart)

***

Dear GF,

Do you hate me or something?  I do everything to treat your female lead with the respect and love that she deserves.  I offer her stability and unconditional love.  And what do you go and do?  Make her fall in love with my best friend.  Nice.  

Insufferably Jilted,
Lorenz von Breuning

P.S.  Look, I know that in real life I died of Typhus at 26, but can't you take some artistic liberties with that or something?  Please?  I'll be a good, well behaved character, I promise.

Kazm here! Just wanted to say...why are you wasting time on this NaNo thing? Write my story!! NOW!!! I'm getting sick of wandering around in such an old airship. And I'm getting hungry! Do you realize how hard it is to find a good chef these days? Where di Reuben go, anyway? I want my chef back!!! T_T And why aren't I in that new story you're doing? You're writing about the guy who killed my sister!! Why?! How come he's the main character?! 

Me: *interrupting* He is not the MC. He is the slightly insane love interest. 

Kazm: *shoving me out of his letter* Then the MC is even more insane, for falling in love with him! Anyway, write my story!! Now!!! I'm bo-ored!!!!! 

with love, Kazm.

Dear Miss Creator, 

How do you do? My name is Laurence. I suppose you knew that already, but you seem to be forgetting, lately. Anyway, best of luck writing Sparrow's story this coming month. 

sincerely, Laurence 'Luck'.

Dear Ms. Mel, 

Hi!! It's me, Cole!! I just wanted to check in and make sure you haven't forgotten about me!! cause it's really cold down here, and I really need to go find Ki soon...poor Ki, she must be so scared...A-anyway. Thank you for putting up with me for so many chapters, and please don't forget to write the rest of them!! (And thanks for making Part 2 from my POV! I'm really having fun with that!!). 

Love, Cole. </description>

      <description>Dear Author,

Listen, I've got an idea.  Instead of writing something new, why don't you just rewrite the first book instead and miss out the bit where we go to the Club and Kit meets Brian?  Not that I've got anything against Brian of course, he's pretty cool (don't tell him I said that).  Actually he's pretty hot too (where on earth did that come from? Definitely don't tell him I said that).  Anyway as you know I've had a thing for Kit since, well like forever so if you could like sort of change history I'd be eternally grateful.  Not I'm not totally in love with Lex of course, but Kit's just well, you now, I don't have to tell you what he's like.  

Anyway I guess you won't so if you could just mention my dark grey eyes and nice cheekbones from time to time I'd be pretty happy with that.
Hugs,
Francis Cahill X


Dear Francis,

You guessed correctly.  And did anyone ever tell you that you talk too much?

yeah, I get it you are acting slightly insane when you see me, your MC, in front of your eyes, and those eyes glaze over and all you can do is drool in a damn cup and go all ga-ga, but I *CAN'T* run through the entire story shirtless. You put me in an African war zone, fercrisssake! I refuse running around shirtless 99 per cent of the story! You choose if you want to create another MC that will co-operate with you, or not.

I shouldn't be writing letters to you,

am I a coward or am I a brave one? Please choose a goddamned direction for me. Stop drooling over Lake, and start thinking about me as well.  I'm starting to lose faith in you.

Stop giving me background. I have always been heartless and I have always been hated and looked down upon instead of that Snow---. Stop making it seem like this all stems from one little incident when we were kits.

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Miss Mango,
I don't appreciate your manipulation of your life.  I was perfectly happy as a lonely, bitter scientist-bachelor.  I don't need you setting me up with an intelligent, attractive woman of whom I'll never be worthy and I most &lt;em&gt;certainly&lt;/em&gt; don't appreciate your desire to crush my soul after developing the beginnings of a legitimate emotional connection by making me a passive participant in the&lt;em&gt; murder of her sister&lt;/em&gt;.

Respectfully, 
Dr. N.M. O'Faolain


Mango,
Seriously?  You killed my sister?  That's not cool.  
And I realize that my fascination with Dr. O is a bit... &lt;em&gt;excessive&lt;/em&gt;, but you don't have to TELL everyone about it.  
Final note:  how the hell am I supposed to take down a corrupt organization?  And which corrupt organization am I supposed to destroy?  WHAT'S GOING ON HERE

I still like you,
Eva


Mangolady,
I don't want to die.  Please don't make me hurt Eva.

Yours,

   This is Mariko.
   Please pick which story idea to go with. It is hard waiting, not knowing if it's your life going to be drag into pubic life or that kinda cute ex-Library over there. 
(Marcus mumbles under his breath, "Why is it I cannot get a girl friend if I'm so cute?"
Kotoma whispers, "Maybe if you don't lead on with a lonely innocent girl with a kiss then hit her over the head and leaving her on the ground for the factory to pick up, you would have a girlfriend Marcus."

      <description>Dear Author,
Well Partner, I know that you live where I use to roam and all. But still what's with all the cogs and metal? Plus I never shacked up with any girl for longer than a night. Plus what the hell is it with you having her take me out of my rightful place and placing me in the future of a different time where the actual me died and I get to reinact him and visit his grave!!! Plus you are disgracing Captain Lee. He was a good man who gave me my first gun. So unless you have somehting good cooked up, not including where you found out about the names, but seriously little is known about my early life and I prefer that.
-Billy the Kid

Dear Author,
When did my brother become a mindless cyborg?! He was perfectly fine before I died and then he becomes a mindless idiot. He then forgets about my beloved daughter and becomes a Cad of the highest order. I demand you bring me back from the dead to help my poor daughter against the men that she doesn't really understand. Also thanks for the gag that prevents me from telling her everything! No love
-Maxie

Dear Author,
We are not speaking as I see what yhou have planned for me, the FMC. I suggest you poke Will with a stick first.

      <description>Dear Authoress...

Let it be known that I need a personality and a solid backstory as soon as possible. I can't be the dashing love interest without one, now can I?

Waiting impatiently,
Kieran.

To that girl,

Get my backstory straightened out and smooth out those plotholes or else I will show up in your sleep and devour you in an eldritch way that will never leave you, thereby sending you crying to the closest person while I laugh at your pitiful suffering. 

Taking tips from Hazama,
Claos.

Esteemed Authoress,

If it's not too much trouble, would you please give Vioanary a backstory? I know she would like one very much, but if you can't, that's okay. She's been complaining about it a lot, though, which is why I'm asking you. Again, if you can't, that's fine... Um, also, do I, um, have to be tortured graphically? And finally, I think sister is right. Please smooth out our backstory, please. 

Love,
Altantsetseg.</description>

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Elf,

It might be a good idea to come up with some of my backstory, right? You know, since I'm the main character and--oh, right, I should be telling you, huh? Well... Moving on.

You do know that, with that book cover you're planning, you're just begging to get tentacle porn fanart, right? And most of them will have me as the star of it and that's just creeping me out. Do I really have to go with Oiserdi to see those things that drive people insane with fear? And speaking of that guy... I'm glad that we get to come to an understanding and all that, but are you really going to couple us off? That's kind of weird. Granted, better than those creepy tentacles, but I dunno. You've seen how his smile almost literally goes from ear to friggin' long ear. It's weird.

At least you won't use some sort of lame cop-out about him kissing me to give me magic or something... Right?!

A little worried for her safety,
Marilyn
-----
Dear Person who calls herself my creator,

I'd really like to go back to unlimited touching of Marilyn. Her reactions have been fun and I really like touching her. Nice and soft. Though this romance thing that supposed to come out of it sounds pretty nice.

Also, you can have little tidbits of the things I've done in the past, but don't bother with a comprehensive life story. Even if you had all the time in the world, it wouldn't be enough for you to get it all done.

Oiserdi
-----
Elf,

There is no way I'm dealin' with a rat. I know you said cats are too cliche, but just to let you know, I'm allergic to them. Yeah, didn' know that before, did ya? That rabbit idea of yours ain't bad (oh yeah, I know you hate that word, I just don't care).

Mind comin' up with my backstory before you get too busy writing how weird that one guy is, hun? And my major is music. Just go find somebody who listens to different music than you do and find out what is good before you try to get preachy about 'good music'. And while I do listen to pop music, I think we can both agree the trashy, little, white girls are no good. People with actual talent, I'll listen to them.

Work of drawing my hair too.

Yours Truly,
Deonne

Firstly, I think you have a stupid name. But at least it's not as bad as my name. Why'd you do that to me? You honestly think that's funny?

Also, so far as I can see, your plot can be summarised as 'authoress systematically ruins my life'. You're evil.

And if my life is going to be so awful from now on, will you please decide soon whether or not you are going to kill me, and please make it some time soon.

Yours sincerely (gah!)

Scholastica Tomyris Nagy.

PS. At least you can make me less ugly, right?

PPS. I will conspire with your Inner Editor, and with the Forums, to make your life miserable in November. I will.

PPPS. But my personality means I am no good at conspiring. You're evil. Very evil.</description>

Let me...I don't know, shoot somebody or something! Oh, and this plot idea so far makes it seem as if I'll never get a rest. Us characters DO have rights, you know. And brains. We aren't 100% stupid.

I hate you. Do you enjoy my suffering? It was bad enough watching our village and parents die of plague... but now you want to kill off Markus, my twin brother. In a very painful manner-while I /watch/.
Also? Get that damned king AWAY from me. I don't want to be his whore. I just want my twin undamaged and not dead (OR a zombie. Those are gross.). 
OH. Also? Plz to be turning off the UST between me and Conor. He's the king's son and I want nothing to do with that family.

No love at all,

 Go die in a hole. I'm getting beat up by a bunch of jock meatheads because you decided to make me homosexual. I got nothing against them but not getting beat up everyday would be nice.
 Screw You,
Jace

Dear Author,
Why did Jace get to write first? I'm your MC so shouldn't I?
You put me in a group consisting of:
A scene queen
A Steampunk chick
A pair of twin anarchists
A punk rocker
A skater punk
and a gay kid who's obsessed with tea an Visual Kei
AND I'M NORMAL! HOW DOES THIS WORK? HECK, I WANT TO BE THE ANTAGONIST FROM NOW ON! AT LEAST SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO GET DOUSED IN SPIKED PUNCH AT DANCES!
I seriously hate you right now,
Alicia

Dear Author,
If you don't have Alicia give us back our flamethrower, we will eat your first born child after roasting it under our lightbulb. (Don't question whether or not it's possible because you know that we can make it happen)]
Sincerely awaiting the return of our entire gun arsenal,
Drean and Drake Jesterson (A.K.A The Anarchy Twins)</description>

      <description>Dear Lisa

So, this story is just going to be a really big guilt trip? You're going to make me, my friends, and my parents go through a ton of overly-emotional rubbish? Not to mention, the end is TOTALLY predictable. At least make my life interesting! Um. Please. Oh, and, uh, give me a name please. It's 13 days left till NaNo starts and you haven't created so much as my name.

*singing* It's my story and I will talk if I want to, talk if I want to...

And I'm not talking *sticks out tonuge*

And you can't make me.  (laughs hysterically)

November is going to be so much fun since your whole plots revolves around me and my backstory. :) That is if I actually had a backstory. Oh yea I don't have one because you haven't given me one, because I won't tell you anything about me!

*dancing around the room and singing* It's my story and I will talk if I want to, talk if I want to.......


Love,

      <description>Rezicca,

I don't think you understand that you have a problem. First, I was suicidal. Alright, makes sense, I guess. Next, you made me gay. I don't really know what to say about that, but you're lucky it was Seito and not anyone else. Now, I'm a capo. At 31. A capo. Okay, I get it. My father is dead. I'm the underboss. Sure, sure. 

Now, you have plans to kill me? Uh uh. Not happening. 

I don't love you, at all. I wish you'd leave me alone. 

~Vincent.

/-/-/-/-/-/

Rezicca,

Why did you kill my family? You just.. you're a monster, you know. First, you kill my family. The yakuza is now after me. The. Yakuza. You stuck Vincent in the mafia, and now you want to kill him. 

You want to kill everyone I've ever loved. 

You are a monster.

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear epguinn,

Okay, you did alright the firsrt time around. I ended up corrupting a noble young hero and got a bunch of money out of the deal. However, is it asking too much for some competent henchmen? I mean, I'm losing track of how many walls Mr. L. has blown up and Mr. K. needs to grow a spine.

Other than that, I heard you were considering putting in some romance in this sequel. Pleeeaaassseee tell me you were joking. And if you weren't, please tell me it will happen when I'm not in the scene. (I know I'm your MC, but I was absent half of the first chapter in the first book, so there can be scenes without me.) And by the way, if you think you can write me anyway you want, guess again. I've proven already that I can think for my self. (Whose idea was it to light the soccer field on fire? Oh, that's right, MINE!)

Yours, but only because without you I wouldn't exist,
Ashley Cole (aka Brimstone)

P.S. Would you mind killing off Reginald? I can I be the one to bring about his end?</description>

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Adrian(me),

Why? Why do you keep working on your villains so much? You know there is more to the world than evil!
I think that you must have some over obsession with Lovecraftian Fiction.
I get it the guy was a good writer, but seriously, if I'm not battling a giant alien god, I'm most likely in some weird paranormal romance plot.
That's another thing, Why the hell do you write so much paranormal romance. What are you trying to prove? That you are better than Stephanie Meyer? Is that it? Leave your hatred for that book out of your writing and also give me something to work with. You expect normal people to be able to defeat an entire pantheon of evil gods?
It doesn't work like that... 
Also what is up with your heroes moral values? They go all over the place, you make it seem like the evil gods are better than the main characters. Seriously, I remember you wrote something were a guy had an affair with his 14-16 year old maid, got divorced and went to jail and you seriously expected us to believe he was the good guy. We were supposed to sympathize with him. You know that is not what the book Lolita was about, stop trying to rewrite Lolita in fantasy settings it doesn't work.
Another thing is you overuse of characters that you like, INVENT NEW CHARACTERS god dammit, don't just write sequel after sequel with the exact same plot and characters.

Yours (sadly).
Zaumu

      <description>Dear Adrian,
Don't listen to her, she's just jealous because you haven't paid attention to her in years.
I actually like my existence here. 
I mean I am the freaking god of everything, which is pretty cool.
One thing I do wonder though, why do you insist on having me in female form, even though I'm technically male?
I get that you have a, whatchamacallit.... gender-bender fetish, especially when it comes to literature, but I would like to be in a male body at least once, please.
Except for that you are basically doing a good job.  I have really very little complaints beyond the above, I love the fact that I'm this wise god, who knows like a lot. I also love your design of me and the other gods, especially mine, I mean I love the Odin mixed with Loki mixed with Skadi kind of look and personality you gave me.
Love it

Yours,
Skaadlok</description>

      <description>Dear Nikolai;

I understand that these things happened because of Mikkel's twisted influence - but... did you have to put such a gaudy mask over her? I can no longer see her smile (not that she ever smiles anymore...), she looks like a statue and I worry the weight is making her uncomfortable. She is lethargic. Wasting away. This is unacceptable and I do not condone this sort of treatment.

I returned here to set things straight - not to have the only thing I love turn into a sack of... nothingness.

Also, Sofija says that she would like a newer wheelchair. And that she hopes you burn in an unpleasant place for the mask.

Sincerely,
Dr Emil Christensen


Dear Lady,

Could you pleasepleasepleaseplease&lt;em&gt;please&lt;/em&gt; give this job to someone else? I came here to hang out with my friends and check out some local sights. Not to play Hero for a bunch of people who stole my phone and my passport, killed Charity and set our hotel on fire. And I sure as holy hellion did not agree to taken down Big Bad Momma! I just want to go home to my crappy IT job and my parents and Wing Wednesday at the pub!

Pleeeeeeeeeeeease don't make me do this!

I hate you forever and ever,

Dear Author,

Why do I have to stop whining? It's first person&#8212;that's the point! And we're the same age; you whine too, you know. What was that argument with your mother this morning? 

Eloise.

Dear author,

I'm her father, so why don't I get a bigger role. And neither does my wife; that's not fair! Write us in more or find some new parents for our daughter.

Mr. Malcom (and Mrs. Malcolm)

Dear author,

I'm a sweet but fiery girl who loves to laugh and sing. Sound familiar? I'm basically Eloise's friend who is a younger version of your sister. Get that? Now write it down!

You keep saying how you have two FMCs this year, but you never spend time askinng me about myself! You're always prattling on about Ines and her surroundings- what about me? I'm just as valid as a character...in fact I should be easier to write. You don't have to research 1936 Spain in order to properly develop me! 

Also, I'm not so sure I want to die. You keep threatening me, but perhaps in time I'll reroute your bloodlust. You'll have to wait and see what I think come November! Haha, sucker.

I'm only a recent addition to your (rather active) imagination, but really now, I have been gay in three of your stories, bi in one, and part of a triad in a fourth. I think it is high time that I was straight. I know you have a very pretty brunette in another story, why can't you pair me up with her? Sure she is part tiger, but I do like a bit of a challenge.
Please?

      <description>Dear Person That Really Needs To Die,

I was perfectly ******* happy, until you made both my sister and I get kidnapped!! And look you've made me swear, all 22 years of refinement down the drain, when you decided to meddle. Sure Lina is happy. but thats because she likes beating the **** out of people, and she can actually handle being interigated.

I really hope you can get us out of this dungeon. Oh! Yes, what the **** is with those mangy mutts. I know they are our ticket out of that place, but really!!! WERE-WOLVES!!!!!!!!! They are not my idea of proper company.

Sincerely,
Lissa (The sensible one)


Hello lady,

Yeah, I know that Lissa has probably already gotten to you about all of this and all, but I'll still throw my two cents in.
GIVE ME MORE CARNAGE!!!!!!!  You switch to Lissa's point of view the second I let myself loose. You can't see or hear anything of what I do, it's all left up to the imagination. Oh! wait, that was on purpose wasn't it. haha well you can, umm... ignore my little rant up there.

Anyway, on to more important things, like that sexy were-wolf.

Did you know that his brother is a half-ling? That is just not suposed to happen, but your the author so you know all of this already. So, these wolves help us escape, how do they do that?

Well, bye till November, then you will never get me out of your head and all of your dreams will be of what happens to flit across my mind!!!!!! get ready for absolutly no sleep.

-Lina (the crazy, scary, scycotic one)


Dear characters, 

Please as your creator, DON'T LET HER (lina) NEAR ME, I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!

Sincerely, your creator</description>

      <description>Dear G-H,


We are minor characters that you expect to be major. Seriously, stop stressing, we'll take care of those kids you forgot about. We'll take them all home and teach the boys to fight in a kilt and the girls how to kick butt in the most serious of manner. Also, Rune and Robin are not girls' names, stop stressing. You have enough to worry about. We can take care of ourselves.

Merry Meet,

      <description>Dear Rubyfruit,

Could you please, pretty please, come back to my story arc? I know you're having fun with this new story, but you haven't touched mine since last November and it was just getting to the fun part. I love my new role as the one who betrays her former friends to the antagonist, so please come back around to it.

Thank you,
Staci.

P.S., [em]Anastasia[/em]? I realize that you liked the movie as a child, but I would not appreciate that name being my "real" name....</description>

      <description>Dear Author,

I have accepted the fact that you decided to make me the father of the MC.  I may be the character that helped spawn this entire universe, but I'm happy to play second fiddle.  Then you put me in prison.  Okay I'm still involved in the plot, but I would greatly appreciate it if you would keep me alive.  I know your toying with the idea of killing me in prison but you just killed my son's mother.  Surely you can't put my son through losing another parent so soon.  He did so well on the Mary-Sue litmus test, do you really want to mess that up?

Humble and imprisoned,
James aka Triton

Author,

I can't be evil.  I know you haven't fully decided yet but I fight for truth and justice.  I'm upset enough that you killed my wife.  Don't make me evil.  That's an order.

Cease and desist,
Union</description>

I can't even say that with a straight face and here you are adding little romance bits here and there in your outlines! This is an OUTRAGE. Pair me up with somebody else, it can be anybody!

Will you please stop calling me Crow. I'm a raven, a RAVEN I tell you. And stop encouraging that bloody cat. Its bad enough the fluff ball even has to be there without you making him my nemesis. And how come he has a name? We're both familiars so how come he gets to be Sage whilst I'm plain old Crow (and its RAVEN).

I've got my beady eye on you and if you don't want your eyes pecked out you'll listen up because i'm not telling you again, I'm not a crow. I'm a Raven.

Yours

Dear Rubyfruit,

"Stella" is a nice name. More importantly, it's the "real" name that you wanted. My parents can just be weird like that, or I can be named after a relative or something! I've just given you more words to explain how a fifteen-year-old got to be named Stella"!

      <description>Dear Author,

just letting you know we have decided which one of us will be told from the first person, and which one from the third. I, Marija, am the lucky one whose all sentences will include "I", while Valentina has agreed to be written from the third person. I am very happy you allowed me to be a writer in your story, although sometimes I seem suspiciously similar to you, so I hope you intend to change that. Since I expect quite a lot of suffering by your hand, I think I`m entitled to this one request.

Cheers,
Marija.


Dear Author,

SHE IS LYING!!! I did not, and DO NOT, want to be written from the third person! I am the MAIN character of this story of yours, and it is the story of MY life that makes your plot interesting, so I demand a fair trial by which you will decide to release me from hell of third person!
(and please... would you ALREADY decide how I look like, what my sexual orientation is and how weird really I am... I feel quite disoriented when it comes to my identity. Ok?)

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Hey, Blue,
 What's the deal? I've been Cayden's friend for a LONG time. I really like him a lot, but he is still in love with Kalista. I get that. Those two had something, but she's long gone. Married. Got kids and all that. Yet he can't get over her. I'm kind of OK being more like a sister-figure to him -- at least I get to be around him. But what's with this new chic you're bringing into the story? I don't like her. Something about her doesn't sit right with me. I know she saved his life and all that, and I appreciate it. But he'd better not fall in love with her. That'll make me REALLY upset. Please convince him that he's supposed to be with me. I'd appreciate it.

  - Anika Rastaban. 

   (Hey, I can't make him do anything he doesn't want to. You know that. I've been trying to get you two to hook up for three books now. If he's not into you in that way, I can't change that. Sorry. -Blueocean)


_________________________________________________________________________


  Hey, Author. 
   Stop messing with my life. First you take Cayden away from me and had me believe he died. I'd finally accepted that and married Tavin. And then you let me find Cayden. He was right there for an entire book and a half! I'm really not happy about this. And now Anika is trying to get at him. Make up your mind. Either let me have him, or get him out of my life. WHAT??? You're sending him 6,000 years into the future? Back to our time? Ooh you just wait. I suppose it's for the better, but really? Why not just send him there without putting me through that heartache of learning that he's still alive RIGHT AFTER my wedding to someone else. You've got a twisted sense of plot, you know that? 
  Angrily, Kalista.

   (Hey. Chill. It had to happen. You'll see him again, but learn to be happy where (and when) you are. Tavin is good you you. You'll have many happy years together. I'll write those in later. Do you think it was any easier on Cayden seeing you in another man's arms? Besides, he'll be out of your life for good pretty soon. Just go with it. I'm sorry that you two can't be together. Life's rough. Deal with it.
   - The author)

PS - If Wren gets magic then I should get some too, seeing as how we're TWINS. Besides, you know your plot won't make it to 50000. Can you say subplot? Not that I'm going to tell you WHAT subplot you could do. You're the writer, you figure it out. 

-----

Dear Kaity,

While I love being the one with all the witty one-liners, if you're really going to make me the MC then you're going to have to give me some depth. Also, this plot you're thinking of....I do NOTHING in it. What the heck kind of MC is that? I'm not the damsel in destress type. Stop making things happen to me and let me make things happen.

I'm glad you're working out my background and all, but don't you think you should work on my present?  My past life seems pretty solid to you, from what I can tell.  But really, why am I an anthro major?  What's my girlfriend like?  Let's think about the serious things before November comes around.  You don't even know my parents' names, or my brother's, for that matter.  Or what kind of person I am aside from an anthro major and gay.  What sort of characterization is that?  It's kind of pathetic. Do something about it, and soon.  Okay?

Yours (literally, good grief),

Please have the guts and the means not to make me a female clich&#233;. I already feel like it. Even though you don't know my past, you could at least find out what I want in life and what I do for a profession. Don't make me a catwoman just because my actions are not fully judgeable as good or evil. I'm not a femme fatale nor a trophy girllfriend (if I somehow MUST get involved in a romance), remember that!
Best hopes, 8

Why can't I say Authoress anymore? Since when is that sexist? Ugh. Whatever...

Look, woman, its about time you yank that stick out'cha butt and just write about me. You know you want to. I'm awesome. I've been rattling around your brain (which by the way, is mad crazy, mama) for a g-damn year and its my time to shine, baby! C'mon, I know you got me listed as a side character on that stupid little list of yours, but we both know I'm gonna steal every scene I'm in and you're gonna end up writing me into all sorts of places you didn't plan on doing.

So anyway, honey, let's be real, right? Stop pussyfooting around crying about which story you're gonna write this year, cuz we all know that of all the in-freaking-sane people you got running circles all up in here (and trust me, woman, they is some CUH-razy folks) I am the one you love the most.

Ain't that the truth?

Sincerely and some sh*t,
Duke Collins

P.S. Don't you dare let that Hannigan b*tch kill me off. It ain't my damn fault her cousin wanted me so bad. I mean, look at me, mama - I am one sexy mofo. I know about a woman scorned and all that, but daaaaaamn. Make her get over it. Yeah?

P.P.S. Don't also let me turn into a zombie. I'd rather you just let Hannigan blow my head off. Before the plague, Thanks.</description>

      <description>Dear Author

We appreciate you've been busy. But you have seven days in which to read everything we told you last year, and then get your head around what we warned you was going to happen next. Hurry up, already! We're waiting. And if you keep us waiting too long, then we might just start becoming that little bit un-cooperative.

You have been warned.

Sincerely,
All The Characters</description>

Seriously? I thought I was a trained demon whisperer who went psychotic and killed people... Not posessed by my own work of art! Gosh, now I'm not really in the story. I'm just a body, aren't I? ARENT I?
I hate you.
Oh yeah, and give me a freaking name already.</description>

      <description>Dear Author,

I'm a little insulted by the substandard amount of research you've conducted in regards to my story. Yes, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision based on an outline from a long time ago, but that's no excuse. If you fail to edit after the month is over, I will systematically torture every other character in your head until you do so. 

Lots of love,

      <description>Dear Author,

Ok, I know I'm a slave, but could you please decide who I belong to? Also, I'd appreciate having some other characters to interact with, you know, aside from the occasional glimpse of that pretty blonde. I'd also really like you to decide whether she's my half sister or my lover. I'll tell you right now, she is most certainly not both. I don't care what happened in that book you just finished reading. No. Just... no.

And one more thing. You've given me the task of saving the world from the mage guilds... but neither you or I have ANY IDEA HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK. Could you maybe work on that?

Thanks,
Leod</description>

      <description>Dear Author,

We've talked it over, and we accept your deal.  As long as you put in the work on each of us (and don't go skimping on the secondary characters! - we need your love too!), we'll do our best to work with what you give us, and not just turn into . . . what was the phrase you used?  "Stick figure zombies" who occasionally give "inappropriately dramatic monologues"?  We aren't looking forward to that any more than you are, so it's in ALL of our best interests to work together on this.

You said you already have the plot ready to go.  That's great!  We're excited about that!  But that also means you have one week to flesh us out, give us backgrounds, personalities, motivations . . . it's up to you.  Otherwise you'll be stuck with emo zombies, and no one wants that.

Well, maybe in a YA novel.

Sincerely,
Jennifer, Tori, Mitch, LaShawn, Jill, Rick, and Linda</description>

Jeez, here we go again. What is this, fanfic #839752 you've written about us? Obsessed a little? Why can't you leave us alone for a while, go torture the characters in some other canon. Like, whatever happened to that Rurouni Kenshin/Little House on the Prairie crossover you thought of once? Sure, you were mostly asleep at the time, but hey, I bet no one's ever written that before! And more importantly, you'd be leaving me out of your weird imagination for a while.

Kindly advising you to get a life,

      <description>Dear Sophie,

First; if you pat me condescendingly on the head and say "Elementary my dear Watson" one more time I will haunt your mental-space for EVER AND EVER and you will never finish another story because you'll be too distracted by me. So. Yeah.

Secondly; will you shut up about that bloody box? It's not even crucial to the plot. Well, ok, it's a catalyst, sort of, but that's a minor detail. So stop going on about all the photographs and sentimental stuff my mother left me - it might make your readers go all teary-eyed, but it sure as heck doesn't have any effect whatsoever on me (aside from, you know, mild annoyance).

Oh, and I refuse to fall in love with Ernie Brockett. I refuse to even get a tiny bit emotionally attached to him. And if you ever attempt to write a sequel in which he and I have kids or something, I don't care that I'm fictional - I WILL find a way to kill you. (Ugghh...I wish I hadn't brought that up. Images...)

Anyway. Yeah. I think that's about it.

Yours (reluctantly)

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Author,

Well, I was going to write you a scintillating letter about how much I hate you for giving me a horrible life, but after talking with everyone else you've stuffed in your head over the past several years, I don't suppose my history is so bad. At least I have a family-- regardless of the fact that they're not actually mine. But honestly, can you find some creativity for once? I'm blonde. You're blonde. Half of the MC's in this place are blonde! And don't get me started on the idea that Angel looks EXACTLY like the love interest in every single one of your previous stories. There isn't a single exception there. Oh, and on the subject of my powers . . . I was genuinely thrilled to see that you weren't trying to recycle your silly bluelighter powers AGAIN until I realized that changing one's appearance is, in fact, something that the bluelighters (which take up about half of your head, by the way) can do. Giving me one of their abilities instead of all of them is not something new! Finally, people here can write other people into existence. Don't even pretend that you didn't steal that idea from Myst. It's your favorite game. Ever. Just because it's people rather than places being written, yet again, does not mean you're creative.

Sincerely,
Eliza
P.S. Do I really have to wait until book 3 to fall in love? If you keep this strictly NaNo . . . that's 3 years. Just saying.

*** *** *** *** ***

Dear Author,

You came up with my character from about 10 seconds of a dream. My dad is emotionally unstable, my mother is dead, and my sister is missing . . .  well for the first book 2 books at least! You have to admit, when she comes back, things aren't much better for me! Tell me how in the world Eliza's life is better than mine when she's the MC?

Glenddywyll and Melia BOTH shall be mine, and will both be okay with it.  Just you wait and see.  You shan't know what hit you and I'm going to laugh and laugh and then do just a bit more laughing.  It's bad enough that you're intending to make my son into a guinea pig for some mad alchemist in Agoria, but now you want to kill me?  The most amazing character you've ever written?  I think you're in over your head.  I'm going to rebel so hard your head will spin around backwards.

Also, if you kill me, my mangled corpse will haunt your nightmares for years to come.

Hugs and Kisses &amp;lt;3
Ornos

P.S. All right, I'll allow you to kill me as long as my death is valiant and tear-inducing and I'm remembered forever as a hero.  But only under that condition.

------------------------
Dear Comma,

Don't worry, I'll keep my little brother under control.  He's just had a bit much of that dwarven ale is all.  I promise I'll do my best to keep him out of that as well once the story starts, I don't want him stumbling through the entire thing pished off his backside any more than you.  That would be just a bit inconvenient... albeit amusing.

The Captain and... me and the.... alright. If you want, I mean you know best.
Seriously though, no.

PS. Do you realise she is a good foot taller than I am if not more? The very thought is terrifying. Not that the Captain isn't an attractive woman in her own right but... friends! We are very good friends and that is all!

STOP IT ALREADY! You keep pulling me in 57 different directions and I can't take it anymore! I don't want to be the hero, I don't care about that lady and her stupid kid and if demons take over the world it might actually be more fun. All I want to do is sleep, and you keep trying to drag me out of bed and give me nightmares over and over! You suck! And what's up with David? Why is he so uptight all the freaking time! I can't stand living with him!! He needs to get laid. Hook him up with that one nosy chick (what's her name? Oh who the hell cares, it's all about me and you know it) or something. While we're on the subject of stuff, I would also appreciate not getting physically, emotionally or psychologically maimed for once, so lets make this one easy. It would be great if I could be home on the couch in time for Iron Chef.

Oh and I just realized I'm supposed to get through this thing sober. SOBER?! What the hell. Send over some booze now or I'm going to find some way to crawl out of your subconscious and kick your ass. You know I will. I'd do it now but I haven't had any coffee yet and I'm too tired. Later. I promise. So there had better be alcohol in this thing.

Hate your guts
Alex


Dear Creator Person
I really like Evie, could she stick around and not die? I promise to try and make Alex do what he's supposed to, since that seems to be my main purpose in life. 

Thank you for letting me have a bigger part these days, and I can't wait to save the world!
Love

I've been talking with Trinity, and we're pretty ticked at you for this. I mean, I suppose compared to Blaize and Void we have it easy... I wouldn't wish their respective fates on my worst enemy. Or maybe I might, since that enemy is YOU!

Anyways, you will find my application to be a main character again on the reverse of this letter. You know what you have to do.

      <description>Dear Ms. Whip,

It has come to my attention from sources that would like to stay anonymous, that you might know the whereabouts of a missing girl by the name of Patricia Storm. She was last seen by a social worker investigating claims of child abuse. Unfortunately before anything could be done to help the child, the residence she was staying at with her Aunt and Uncle burned to the ground. Patricia was the only body not discovered in the rubble leading those to believe she fled, possibly even started the fire herself. We wish only the best for the girl and hope you will do the right thing and turn her over, or at the very least give me the address of the last know place you have seen her. 

Sincerely,
                 Detective Gabriel M.Rowan

      <description>Dear fargreencountry-swiftsunrise,

Why yes, I did purposely decide to be born a millennium sooner than you anticipated, throwing your plots all out the window and making you weep at the hard work you did to find my previous name and the gnashing of teeth over finding a new one. You also had to find a new family for me. Nothing wrong with my old family, but I felt you were lingering too much over the Eleanor connection and not enough on my wife or the fact that you made me a shape shifter for no good reason.

Morgan is much happier though. She doesn't have to go mad from loneliness... again. That is always a good thing. So, though you may be tortured, turn about is fair play.

Sincerely,

Randulf, previously known as Raoul</description>

      <description>Dear QuiSaitRien,

While I appreciate the fact that I had a very nice life up until the story starts, you promptly send it all to hell. I like my eye, I don't want to lose it. I don't want to acquire a limp. I was perfectly fine before. 

Also, while I appreciate the fact that you're writing a love interest for me - a sailor? Really? He didn't even graduate high school.

Vaguely irritated - Prof. James Northaway.


Dear QuiSaitRien,

I hate you. You wrecked my boat. And the professor can go where the sun doesn't shine, I'm not going with him.

By the way, why shouldn't I make a deal with Loki, again?

Not yours in the least - Robert Hollow


Dear QuiSaitRien,

So instead of going to premed school, I'm setting up a clinic in the middle of a ruined town during a war of the gods? Gee, thanks. I'm going to have inadequacy issues, I can see it already.

I hate you - Erin

Dear QuiSaitRien,

Who am I?

      <description>Dear Author,

I was wondering if I'm going to actually be in the story, or if you're taking this thing in another direction. I seem to have been relegated to 'background character', but you keep insisting that I'm the main. It's really confusing. Nothing is happening to me. Also, why the hell am I being shipped to a place full of the things people want to keep me away from? I don't get it.

Regards,
Brady

Dear Jhin,

I was just wondering if we could keep my background secret? Please don't let my mother find me. I beg you. I'm happy where I am right now... I get to help people. I have friends. I don't want that ruined. Please.

Love,
Grace

PS. Please don't take Tyr away either. :( And have him sane. Please.</description>

      <description>Dear Carson,

I have some choice words for you.

First: What's up with the date May 16th? Seriously? 

Second: Really. I want to know where you got that date from. The "date everything goes wrong" for poor little me.

Third: Why me? And what's up with the last name you gave me? Bendtsen? Are you serious?

Fourth: Okay, so an underwater world of magic and myth is nice and all...but the dark bits about gods and titans about to wage a ridiculously bloody battle that has *nothing to frickin' do with me*? Too much. 

Fifth: While I'm at it---why does my dad have to suck so bad? Can't he be one of those cool, take-me-to-the-movies-and-then-icecream dads? Obviously *not*.

Only a sadistic, psychotic, cynical bitch would make me go through the things you're going to make me go through.

P.S. I'll take back my last statement if you change my last name. Or at least take the "t" out of it.

Without Love,
Sorra</description>

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dearest Author,

And when I say 'dearest', please know that I exaggerate. Greatly.

First off, you've been ignoring me. For /months/. And now that you've decided to glance at me again (forsaking that ridiculous Pheidia creature in that inkling-of-a-detective-story-in-the-back-of-your-brain), what should you do but make my life about as nasty as the curse words you keep making me bite off the end of?

I'll tell you. NOT ONLY have I somehow managed to discover this miraculous Sword of Prophecy, but NOW you've fallen for that Bread-boy who's a rip off of someone else's character, a mere baker, and are close on your way to making /him/ the MC. Really. As if Gary could keep everyone's interest like I can.

Please stop trying to kill me. My side /really/ stings, and I'm constantly tired because of the strange magic stuff that's been going on...not to mention I haven't had a decent card game in /weeks/. With all due respect, I wish you would take a little more care with me (and Hilde, poor woman) when writing our story. Just a little more care. Please.

I have nothing else to say to you. Finish my story, or I swear, I'll sic my dragon on you. Or Geoff. Or that bl***y minstrel Orlando. Or the princess's rotten grandmother.

Yours adoringly,

I've been checking through your plot notes and am shocked to find I'm being lined up as a baddy when I started out so pleasant. Please tell me what I did to deserve this? Where did that past violence come from, as I'm sure I don't remember it?

Tom


Hey Stu,

There must be some mistake. Really. I'm the FMC's BFF! There's no way these things can be happening to me. And what's with this whole dying thing? I think you've mixed me up with Tom.

Lisa


Mr H.
I would like to point out that my reclusive nature and current wooly character are solely down to your inept planning to this point. Maybe if you had spent less time playing favourites with the FMC, you might have more appreciation of who I am.

Dude, you already know how I feel about all this. You know I'm tired of all the nightmare crap, and you know how not-keen I am on going nuts, and -- whatever, all that other junk. But you're gonna do it anyway, so what's the point in complaining, right? I guess this is what I get for being into horror; I upped my chances of being chucked into a horror novel by like, a hundred and fifteen percent.

I guess all I can say at this point is rock this shit. Don't get all weird about your ideas again, alright? Own the crap out of this thing. Even if I have to put up with nightmares and temporary insanity, it'll be at least, like, half worth it if everybody comes out of this thing with a real, legit first draft. So. Get it, gurl.

You keep picturing me on the large size. Maybe you think the name you have given me as a place-holder is a 'fat name'. But remember! I am a starving student! I run around the city from job to job barely earning enough to make rent, let alone eat. You know I miss meals constantly. Where is the fat coming from? If it's coming from my name, then I give you permission: change my name. I do not have it in me to be a fat girl.
Sincerely,

Trust me, I'm usually just fine being by myself but right now you've planned to have me get stuck in a small town with absolutely no way our and no one I know. And please decide whether I'm a 35 year old truck driver or a college student in a U-Haul, I'm tired of jumping from role to role.

At least I've got a loyal best friend (well so far anyway...).

You had this great idea for our story, and now November 1st comes and all you want to write is that stupid fanfiction. Why are you so intent on that, anyway? The characters are both blatant Mary Sues and you know it. And yet here you have this wonderful, well-rounded novel idea that you haven't even started yet. Shame on you.

Glad to see you give me such an interesting start. I mean, really. All me and Kay did were run around in crowds of sweaty people and drink soda. 
But that aside, I'd like to say something about this whole demon-falls-in-love-with-me thing. I have a feeling he's going to kill someone I like, and that's just not nice.
Not to mention that the first draft of me as a character was a 24-year-old journalist in the 1700s. Now I'm a 16-year-old modern day girl with journalist parents. What's up with that?

Love forever,
Rose

Dear Kas,

Don't kill me. Please.

Kay

      <description>Dear Terpischore,
I had a nice life. A comfortable life. I wasn't much fun or very adventurous, but at least it was safe and I was fundamentally decent, if ignorant. Now I'm some sort of cold-hearted killer acting as a double agent. What the hell?
Love, 
Ardal

Please decide once and for all what the relationship between Larus and I is. This constant switching around is getting awkward. One minute we're all cuddly and the next - poof! - we're siblings.

Sincerely,

P.S - If you're even vaguely toying with the idea of considering getting me killed later on, I'll come through that screen and show you exactly what I can do with that fancy sword you gave me. </description>

      <description>Dear J,

Please consider treating my daughter Eliza and her madcap mission with the utmost respect.  Her heart is not something to simply be tossed about like a boat at sea.  And do ensure she has a happy ending, preferably with a certain barrister she's been highly attached to since a young age.  Furthermore, killing one of her prospective husbands in a gruesome fashion is much frowned upon and may result in several characters running rampant.

Also, if you could cut down on my being bullied by my sister-in-law, Lydia Harper, such action would not only be appreciated but much rewarded by my becoming a better man.  

Sincerely,
Lord Bertrand MacGavin</description>

      <description>Dear Author,

I know your inspiration for me came partially from a song, and I realize you think that your idea is very clever and interesting. But really--did you have to screw up my life this badly? I had a loving (though somewhat selfish) wife that I loved dearly, a beautiful castle, loyal subjects... and you took it all away! And then made it my fault (albeit indirectly). And now, over a century later, I'm still holed up in my decaying castle trying to fix everything that YOU made go wrong, and I just know that you're going to make me do horrible things that I wouldn't normally do, but as I'm now somewhat insane with grief, you think it's okay. Was and is all of that really necessary? 

I'm really not happy with you,

      <description>Dear Creator,
Would it kill you to give my brother a thought that isn't related to the supernatural? Seriously, and could you please, please, please stop making me cut my track and field meetings? Despite what you might think, my coach is going to kill me, and then you won't have a female protagonist to work with! And really, while you're at it, can you move along? I still don't understand a thing that's going on with me, and I would like to get to the important parts of the story now.

Oh - and get me some cake in the next chapter. Strawberry shortcake sounds good.

Sincerely,
Cora


Dear Creator,
Could you give me my body back already? Seriously, it's my body at stake here, and it is in the possession of what could be a madman! I mean, I don't know what the guy's doing with it! It's not that dead people and disembodied souls are bad company or anything, but I'm starting to find it awkward to talk to humans... and that's never a good sign.

Also, I've noticed you smile suspiciously in my direction a couple times now. If you did anything to my body, I am going to kill you. I don't care if you're my creator.

-Feine


To my dearest Creator,
Could you disregard that previous letter and just let me keep this form? Really, we can both see that it suits me so much better, and I definitely like this body better than what mine used to be. I'm making better use of it anyway. So, I guess I'll see you around - don't worry, I'm not expecting a reply.

You know who I am.</description>

      <description>Dear Author,

Look, I love fantasy as much as the next girl, but clearly you've got a rom-com young adult novel itching to burst out of your chest like an alien of pens and paper and...writerly...goodness... Okay, that got away from me. The point is, I'm totally cool with being in a kitschy little romance thing. Heck, I'm kinda stoked. Besides, you had no idea where that other plot was going. This little thing you just cooked up in five minutes? Yeah, that's got a beginning, middle and end for you to build off of. So...go with the flow, I guess.

Geez, I should've had Spencer write this. He's the English nerd.

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear RaptorsAndCoffee,
I can't help but notice that we're nearly 6000 words in now, and you still have not mentioned one thing about my appearance. I understand that this story is mainly concentrated on my inner thoughts, my desires, and my sense of justice, and also that you have felt any in-depth description of my appearance would feel forced. However, I *would* like to come across at my best in this novel (I am an eligible young woman, as you know), and to that end, I feel that it would be good if you could at least write something about my beauty. It doesn't have to be in depth, but perhaps you could give me particularly stunning cheekbones, or mention something about the light dancing on my beautiful blonde (red? brown? black?) hair. I noticed that Elle has been described as "beautiful" already, and she didn't even exist when you started writing this story.
Just a small point of improvement.
Yours,
Marissa

Dear RaptorsAndCoffee,
You should really fix my personality. As in, give me any personality. Preferably a consistent one. I know I was only put into this story because Marissa needed someone to travel with, and I know you don't care for me very much, but I think you might grow to like me more as a person if you gave me some form of attribute, anything at all. It's hard to like a blank slate, after all.
Emma.
PS: mentioning once that I "like rumours" is not a personality. It's filler.

Dear RaptorsAndCoffee,
Is Elle short for something? And am I ever going to be given a surname?

Yeah, thanks for the gender change. I feel loved. -_-

I want to thank you for making me so stunningly attractive that your main character can't stop fantasising about my eyelids, and I'm only a little bit concerned that she seems to be completely destructive.

And I appreciate that you gave me a beautiful, kind and rich wife, but why don't I have an alibi for her murder? I really don't feel like you've given me much of a chance, isn't your main character going to descend into alcoholism or something before she ever gets to solve my case?

And, you might find this a little petty, but my NAME. Sol Silvers? What, exactly, did I do before marrying my wife? Model space-age Y-fronts?

Yours,

Believe me, I don't like to whine, but you really are pushing your boundaries. I find it ridiculous that you made me homeless within six months. It's clear that it's tough to pay rent in New York, but I'm not stupid enough to forget to apply for a job to pay the rent. Also, did you have to make my first real alliance a pure idiot? Thanks a lot. Cow.

Your MC,

Dear HatchetGirl,

Hello! Thank you soooo much for giving me a role in your story! It's awesome to have a big role in a story, you know? No? Oh right, you're the author... Annyywaaayy! I heard what you're planning on doing to me with your plot twist. I don't like it! Cut it out! Please? I didn't do anything wrong...Did I? But other than that, I'm happy with your story!

Lots of Love,

Lily Spencer.


Dear HatchetGirl,

I know I haven't appeared in your story yet, but after hearing about what you're going to put me through, just so you know: I hate you. No, seriously, I hate you so much. I get it; I'm kind of the bad boy of the story. Why make me the character that suffers the most? Screw you. I want out.

      <description>Dear Sephrenia,

Are you a complete and total F***wit? No, really, I want to know. It's the only explanation I can come up with that would have me as a mother of two, in a hotel at a business conference and waking up to zombies. Okay, I admit the zombies are kind of cool, but that's not the point. All you've done so far is have me wander around said hotel, finding a couple of people and getting into arguments. As for giving me a provisional drivers license instead of the full one I had a minute ago, I can only ask, what are you smoking and, can I have some? Oh and this G.I Jane/Martha Stewart personality crossover isn't working for me. Sort it out, or I'll sort it for you.

Yours in Irritation,
Sally.

*************

Dear Sephrenia,

I'm 16, not 6 so why have you stuck me in a hotel with two boring old women who have absolutely no clue about what they're doing. Seriously, I think you gave them a total PMT overdose or something. Oh and, what are you actually doing about this plot thing? Yeah, you know, the bit where we actually get to do something? 'Cause from where I'm sitting, having a can of garden peas thrown at my head is not actually helping. Couldn't you have had a zombie or three walking the halls as we went downstairs? Somehow, a hotel full of people disappearing and all the zombies being magically outside is not all that believable. Dumbass. You're just full of epic fail. Deal with it, lady.

Hatin' on you,
Spiv

********

Dear Sephrenia,

First you have me wandering around the hotel with nothing but a flower vase as protection and then you set me up with someone who could be my mother. No, really, she is. She totally tells me what to do and then I find out she lied about the drivers license? You're sick in the head. Oh and don't think I'm taking the lead down the tunnel, I'm not that daft you know.

Yours,
Anne

****************

Dear Sephrenia,

It was pretty cool that you let me be all macho and stuff, but you're making me out to be a total douche at the same time. My girlfriend is laughing at me, the others you threw me in with are absolutely barking and the one guy on the whole thing is taking orders from someone, who in my not-so-professional opinion, is a sandwich short of a picnic. Couldn't I at least have a PSP or something before I die of boredom?

Cheers mate,
Darren

********

Dear Sephrenia,

No, just no. I wouldn't be seen dead with a guy like Darren and somehow, I'm his girlfriend? I'm telling you now, the second a zombie shows up, I'm tripping him up as I run past. I'll be glad to see the back of him. You should have had him as a member of Trailer Trash International or something. I could've had a Fraser or even a Connor, they were just to die for but nooooo, you had to put me with him. Kill him off, or I will.

Yours resentfully,

But you'll do what ever you want anyway, not listening to us tortured characters in your head, when you're writing something horrible again, right?
I hate you! I really, really hate you!
But please give me a happy ending anyway, will you I've suffered enough, don't you think?

Sincerely,
Malik Sita</description>

      <description>Dear Author,

How is it to find out that we, the characters, start revealing our not so pleasant sides the further you get into the story, hm?

Must be strange to find out that an old man like me has done pretty bad things in my past. Of that young Gabe is going to turn into a vengeful bastard once he learns my magic and trade. Oh, and when he has his right arm back. The kid is still pretty pissed off that you made people cut it off for a rape he didn't commit.

I promise you that in the second book, he will be not only the Main Lead, but also an Evil one.

Oh... and my grandson will become a cross-dresser and dominate the third book. 
If you ever get to writing it.

You'd never expected that, didn't you?

Cheers,
Marius</description>

      <description>Writer,
Please stop killing us off, only to use the divinity clause to drag us back. It's not cute, it's not subtle and it's not funny. It's mean. While we're on the topic, stop making us sleep with each other. You may think Vesapian/Daimeon and Rai/Veselko is oh so desu desu kawaii desu ne yo but we don't. Seriously, Vesapian is more likely to neuter Daimeon with a pair of rusty pliers rather than sleep with him. And he needs those genitals.
Love,
Your characters</description>

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear ElliMelody,

Please, stop making me pass out. Twice in just the first chapter? Really? And a trip to the hospital after that second time? You keep doing this to me, and I keep having these visions, but nooooo, everyone just thinks I'm insane! I AM NOT! Just figure out why I'm having this visions already, because event he others are getting bored!

Also, do I, or do I not, like Gideon? You've crossed out love-admitting scenes a thousand times, claiming its too early for me to admit it, and yo don't know for sure if I ever will. Make up your mind already! I don't even care anymore if he likes me back!!

-Elodie Sissel

P.S. Does he like me back?!?!

======

Dear EM,

Stop making me follow Elli and Lotty around like a lost puppy. I am a dude. seriously, we don't do that. (and i don't care if you know a guy who does, he is a little baby anyway) Decide whether or not I like her already, and get on with it! You always say I'm around them, but I never actually do anything! Some one-on-one time with Elli would be nice. Yes?

-Gideon Jasper

P.S. Don't even think about that plot twist idea you came up with while writing this, about me dating Elli's twin sister for a little while. So. Not. Cool.

======

Dear EM,

You make me sound quiet and boring. All I EVER do is stare at Elli and go to the bathroom(seriously, wtf on the last one...) You also forgot about me the first half of the first chapter. Then said I was in the bathroom the whole time. Gee. Thanks. 

-Lotty Sissel


======

Dear EM,

I appreciate being so notable in the story, but I'm not always boy-obsessed. Yes, I possess a self-proclaimed notebook of cute guys with a self-assessed IQ, but all I ever do is read and bug Elli about not having a boyfriend. I thought this was about Elli's mental state, not her relationship status. I would appreciate a more friend-like position, instead of that annoying girl who always spend her time with you just to bug you about not having a relationship position. 

-Mackenzie Keane

P.S. Decide whether or not I gain a relationship with Victor. It always seems like I'm flirting with him...his IQ is like...12.

=======

Dear EM,

I'm not an idiot...i may not be 'bright', but seriously? not knowing the difference between geometry and geography? That was a bit too far...

-Victor

P.S. Why does everyone else have a last name but me?</description>

Dear Creator,

Because of you I throw up when my eyes are open, am borderline insane, don't call anyone by their given name, hear voices that don't make sense (even to me), am pretty sure you're going to either kill me or have me get vamped, and I just felt one of my friends die, kind of like how Obi-wan felt "thousands of voices suddenly go silent" when Alderan blew up. And do you have *any* idea how hard it is to properly accessorize when you have a purple blindfold on all the time?

As soon as I make up my minds, we're going to have some words.

I truly appreciate the fact that you have been thinking about me for the last several weeks, hell on the surface my life seems pretty chill. Why am I not happy then? And why can't I REMEMBER anything? 

Where do you get off making people seem crazy?
I.... I mean... am I crazy?

Confused,

Dear Person,

Do you know what a ' Con-Dole-antes' is? cause September still hasn't told me. 
Sorry! Gotta go! Grammie mad mac and cheese!

luv,
Georgia, age 8

Dear Puppet master

Look, I don't want to tell her what it means. She forgets anyway though...right? So I never have to tell her what a condolence is...right?

+September
P.S. I wouldn't mind if there was just a little tension between us when she grows up. ya'know for variety.

Dear Alexandria,

It has come to my attention that you have put me in a very tight spot with my grandaughter. I will have you know that I do not appreciate this one bit, and if I had it my way I would never have to tell you. 
Now, go take a shower and find pants without holes in them. If you must write about me I would at least like to be written by someone who is somewhat respectable. 
Oh, I almost forgot, take that crap out of your face you aren't a pin cushion. 

Sincerely, 
Elsinore Mocher.

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>To The Strange Woman Who Refers To Herself As My "Author":

I was less than delighted to make your acquaintance, especially given your predilection to make predictions about my future and imply that you have total control over it. Imagine, then, my shock and abject horror when all of your predictions came to pass. Including the one regarding Miss Eleanora. I may never sleep again. 

So, given that you do, indeed, seem to hold some measure of power over the events currently unfolding in my life, I have a few questions for you concerning the abovementioned events. Why has Charlie usurped my role as the rebellious daughter? When am I going to have a chance to escape Mother's endless rounds of parties and dinners and balls and visits and teas? When am I going to attempt to write an article and present it to the staff of the Examiner? That is, after all, the whole reason why I agreed to come to London in the beginning.

Also, might you convince Mother to relax her schedule enough for me to be able to correspond with Veronica? She is, after all, my best friend, and she will be married in - in less than two months! And if you have your way, I will be unable to attend the wedding because I will be trapped in the London Season. 

Oh, my feelings are not good enough reason for you to allow our correspondence? Very well, then, but I invite you to also consider this: you told me that my correspondence with Veronica is a vital plot point. You are at least a quarter of the way through my story and you have yet to include it. I suggest you get cracking.

Sincerely,
Alexandrina Katherine Lydia Henry (Miss)</description>

You interrupt everything and put in a fluffy friendship exposition/introduction scene instead! And then what do you do after that? You write a letter in the other topic complaining about how I didn't use my laser fists on him!

Since you're the one who's writing this, could you make it a bit more cheerful. And WHY IN THE WORLD did you have my father force 6 year old me to kill a kitten? You have a cat for God's sake! You shouldn't be trusted anywhere near animals after what you wrote. And by the way, I'm not gay. So stop giving me a squeaky voice and a fear of people. Couldn't I be more masculine? I found someone I hate as much as my father: the person who created him.
Levi

Dear Emz_Sophie,
Since when am I crazy? Have you not seen my brother. He can't even figure out how to freaking add! But I'm the mental patient? And really? You named my brother after a curse word. Unoriginal.

      <description>Dear littlewisp,

You were going to make me into a badass with real motivations and a wealth of feelings beyond 'grumpy' and 'amused.'  How's that coming along?  Oh yeah, it isn't.  If you write in one more argument that's a retread without any progression of my badassery with the MC -- who, by the way, I am way cooler than -- I am walking.

I hate you.

      <description>Dear Timpeni,

Mon amie, must you make my little sister one of the antagonists? And what do you mean Allison is going to fall in love with that unromantic and graceless Dane S&#248;ren? He is not a good fit for her! She needs someone that can take care of her! Even Aaron is a better choice!

Please... I really do care for Allison. She is mon amo-... never mind. Please, don't make her meet up with that Italian, Giuseppe! He's a mafiosi, and he's going to hurt her! And another thing: How can she fall in love with HIM? She'll be heartbroken once Giuseppe dies or leaves her...

Just... don't hurt her much, okay?

Nyn, Dearest,

Thanks for all the snogging opportunities! Much obliged, indeed.

Dear Nyn,

Why on earth did you damn me to this perpetual embarrassment? Le long-suffering sigh.

Regards,

P.S.: Uhm, please don't take that to mean that I'd appreciate you killing him off.
P.P.S.: Seriously, please don't.
P.P.P.S.: Please? 
P.P.P.P.S.: Ken just said I'm cute... Please feel free to kill him off whenever you see fit...

      <description>Dear Rae,
First off, that's not even your real name. Secondly, why are my parents fighting all the time? Why can't I be a happy kid with a happy family? WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST HAPPINESS!? I live in an empty marble mansion. Also, the headmistress's name is Ms. Lilac. Really? What do you have against her?  And if I'm not working my butt off to get an A in EVERYTHING, I'm getting chased! I have to be bullied? Thanks. Oh, and thank you for Uncle Bruce and Victor. Can I live with Uncle Bruce for the rest of my life?
Your character, Johnny Stanley Bumble. (I HATE MY LAST NAME.)

Dear Taleigh Rae,
I hate you sometimes. You gave me a gothic older brother. Who's beat me up and threatened me. REALLY? YOU SUCK. But yeah, thanks for Mister Bruce. My life was dang good there. But then, you shove this 12 year old into my life. I look at this kid, and I think of me. Thanks. THEN, you suck us back into Starland. You make me take an oath to save the world. You could at least let me tell Kai I like her.....
Yours because you'll hurt me if I don't sign this nicely,
Victor Mason.

Dear Rae,
WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME? 
You throw me into the gang. Okay, I can handle that. You give me the classic "my drunkard father beat me" backstory, okay, I can do that. But then, you give me a chance to turn good. I thank you for that. But you make being a good guy so hard! 
AND THEN YOU CAN'T DECIDE IF I LIVE OR NOT? WHAT THE *bleep*
I. HATE. YOU.

      <description>Dear Odyssey

I'm enjoying this happy bit of back story, I think it will make me a more complete character with a better understanding of how I handle relationships, but I'm ready to grow up now. I've been ten years old for the past 9,000 words for God's sake! How the hell can I have an epic adventure as a ten year old? It's time to cut the cord. I know you like my brother, he's a cool guy. I like him too, hell I idolize the man right now, but if I'm gonna step up and meet the big bad he's gonna have to move out of the way. I'm ready for this if you would just give me a shot!

Sincerely,
Daunye

P.S.  I'd rather he not die though, this is my brother after all. Please take that into consideration. Please...</description>

      <description>Dear DCJ,

I know I'm supposed to be this awesome assassin type character, but I think it's a bit unrealistic that I can go faster than 3 guys who have had the same training as me, and kill them without using any magic whatsoever, while retaining my speed.  I know I was protecting your MC, and that he's going to eventually be able to handle himself, but come on.

Don't Make Me Kill You,
Gareth

Dear DCJ,
Thanks for not letting me die in the first few pages.  But do I really need to be saved all the time?  I mean, sure, I get that like, one awesome scene where I save everyone through a fit of ingenuity/deja vu, but then I passed out, making the other two characters save me yet again.

And where did those three assassins come from?  I mean, it's like you were told to just add ninjas, or something.
You really shouldn't do that for no reason.

Your MC,
Jace Killian.</description>

You do realize that you spelled your handle wrong, right? Oh, what's that? The correct way was taken? Mhm. Likely story. 

Do you know me AT ALL? Really. Falling in love with a 17 year old? It's already bad enough I'm sleeping with her. That could stick my ass in prison for the rest of my life. 

Oh yeah, I see the way a spark just went off in your head. Don't. You. Dare. If you send me to prison, so help me God, I'll break that fourth wall and destroy you. 

Vlad.

NDP,

Thank you for giving me a twin sister so that you could take her away. No, really, I totally appreciate it. And thanks for forgetting half the time that I'm supposed to be in school. I get that it's not integral to the plot, but it's integral to myself as a teenager. Pleas figure out what you're doing.

First you give me killer good lucks, which makes me undure whistles and cat calls on teh bus everyday my older rbother Isaac isn't their to shush them. Then you make me be all nice and force my popularity meter down to negative twenty. Then yousurround me wiht boys and take them away one by one WITH SLOW TORTURE.

         I am sorry I gorgeous and rich and all. I can't help it, you made me like that. Could you do me a favor and tell me who the heck is in my locket? I've been wondering for like fourteen years now. Any hints? And please, send Romain and Keilani off somewhere. They may be my twin little brother and sister but they ARE DRIVING ME NUTS. 

Love,
Rhiannon

PS-I seem to have a stalker. His name is Sean. You couldn't get rid of him for me, could you?

Dear Author-who-is-not-mine,

         I am now sorry you made me so, as you say it, handsome? Do you know how weird I look? In Resea everyone has blue, black, purple, or blond hair. But NOOOOOOO. You have to give me black-blond streaked hair. YOU COULDN'T HAVE MADE UP YOUR MIND OR SOMETHING? And NO ONE is Resea has black brown eyes like mine, Missy. What is up with that?

Cordially,
Aedan, Prince of Resea

PS-This girl keeps showing up in my dreams...like every year since I turned two...mind telling me who she is?
PPS-And please, help me before Mother and Father pair me of with Calista. She is as evil as a snake pit, I don't care if she's the only princess eligible. Unless you made the missing kingdom of Amoral, which used to be closer. Until you KILLED EVERYONE OFF I mean.

Thanks for deleting the character of my boyfriend, killing off both my brothers, then saying "Psych! One's actually alive!", making my twin betray me, and failing to kill of my twin's boyfriend (He was so sick he should have died!) . Are you trying to make me miserable for the rest of my life?

Why did you make me stab a dog in the eye? There are other ways of getting rid of giant dogs, alright? But why the eye??!!

Dear Author,

Why are you adding more love interests even though I already got enough? Seriously, I already chose. And also, lay off Aiden, okay? Just because he's being non-supportive doesn't mean you should just kill him off...

Love,

Why did you have to kill all my friends and my mother? And why do even have to be the main character, I don't want to! I want normal life, without traumatic past, weird haircolor or poor family! And now - now I see those weird guys all the time, I don't know what is real and what's not and Mercury is acting strangely, and taking that stupid girl with us. Thank you sooo much.

      <description>Dear Apocalypticangel,

The first draft had some bad text, so I get why you wrote me into this story, but I'm not as feisty as I was. I cursed out enough people to start a blood war in the first one, and now my worst line is "Go to hell" ? Did you lose your spark? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy this one is going to be longer than the first and make me sound less like a child, but I want some zing to my words. Minor characters are getting better insults than I am! Think of me when you can make it back from your paper break. I really need the attention!

 You better give me Pan back or I&#180;ll stay drunk as Bukowski right here where I am.

Let me go around and kill people! My, you made me leave Romin, and now I&#180;m having some fun in chasing after bad guys. Stop complaining about this, you cunt, and stop complaining about my language! I don&#180;t vare if I&#180;m a fucking princess, I want some fun and right now I&#180;m having fun.

 Thanks for putting this hate in my heart. Honestly, why do I have to chase after Pan now? Did I have a terrible childhood? What&#180;s wrong with me? Why am I a maniac? 
 Hell, take me out of this story, I don&#180;t even want to be there. or at least give me a good reason for tracking Pan down!

Please let me have the kid, even if its post story! I don't want him to leave me and I'm afraid that if I don't give him some kind of attachment then he will leave me.

What happened to bad ass twins?  We are just the biggest weirdos ever.  And why does Caleb have a boyfriend but I don't.  We do everything together, if he's dating someone than either I have a different girlfriend or we're both dating the same girl.  Also, what the hell is with the mind reading, we can't read minds and yet we somehow know what everyone is thinking, how the hell are you going to explain that one?

      <description>Dear Iago Grey,

We would like to question several points. For starters, why is that we are perpetually facing the wrong direction? We have been made to turn around more times than is necessary. Why must everything happen suddenly, and not take its time? And can we find no other way to express exasperation than by sighing? Also, Nicholas would like to know why he has to be miserable for the majority of the novel. He, like Alf, is not pleased by what you are about to write, at all.

      <description>Dear Kay,

If you make either of us fall down that hole, we're both going on strike then you are really screwed.  So stop thinking about it and how.  We are willing to go down the hole with a rope, but that is all.  There will be no accidents with the rope and there will be nothing that happens to trap us down there.  The only thing that will happen is we will safely climb down, we will explore, and we will safely climb up.

Those are our conditions and they are non-negotiable.

- John and Sarah

P.S. No rocks will hit us in the head on the way down either.  </description>

      <author>suaru_chan</author>
      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear suaru_chan,

 Listen, I'm really glad to have this story being re-done. You've given it more detail, did a plot outline and even went so far as to make multiple 'Plan B's, just in case we hit a roadblock or twenty. So yeah, thanks for that.

I just have, well, several questions and several things that need to be said: 
1) WTF!? The novel opens with my mom having died. Seriously? I mean, no 'how-do-you-do, nice-to-meet-you'? Just 'oh, by the way; DEATH OF YOUR MOTHER!'. Do you really dislike me that much? Don't even give me that 'emotional experience of my own lends you better emotional quality and depth.' We both sobbed through the entire chapter. It was awful and I was a wreck for days afterwards. I still hate you.
2) The family drama that goes on. I mean, isn't that a little much? You took grandma and pushed her ass off the deep end. I've seen 'crazy' with more sense than you've given that woman. Can you possibly make her more stable, please? But just so you know, I love my grandpa. He's awesome. Thanks.
3) I love my little sister and my dad. Leave them the hell alone. I will cut you.
4) Shadow-man = No! Do. Not. Want. For freakin' serious; he gives me the heebie-jeebies! Can't you be like a normal author and give me a bad guy that isn't part of the spiritual realm and can't, you know, kill people with a freaking touch by basically raping and tearing their aura apart.... HE KILLED MY MOM!? What the heck!? Why?! She goes from dying of a natural cause to having been murdered and it takes me THAT long to find out? Screw you. Hate you even more now.
5) I. HATE. YOU. Did you not hear me? I said to leave my little sister and dad alone. I didn't exactly say to leave my grandparents alone, but still... Killing my father and grandparents in one go? Really? Thaaaaanks. My sister and I will be just fine, never mind the emotional scaring. Oh and the whole thing with me getting to walk in and find my father's mutilated body? I will have nightmares for the rest of my life. You are evil. I didn't realize that asking for a normal bad guy meant you would be killing more of my family. You are like a crack-pot genie. 'Make a wish and it will come true, just all kinds of messed up'. I hate you even more now. 

...I give up. I can't even list anything else because I'm afraid that you'll get a moment of inspiration and the world will explode or something almost as drastic. You need to be on medication and a leash. Just do me a favor and make sure that we - my sis and I - have a little bit of happy mixed in with all your evil and what not, will you? 

Oh and romance. I'd like to have some of that before you go and screw me over again. 

Not nearly enough love,

 Seraphina Cathal


P.S.
  I'm a WHAT? You can't just pick a species/race and stick with it? You really have to dabble and mix me up like I'm a freakin' cocktail? FML.

      <description>Dear Betty
 Yeah, great. Did you really do that? You really made this maniac blow up my shuttle? Do you know how much I loved this shuttle? 
 And thanks a lot for my burned hand. I think it&#180;s really funny to grab a hot piece of metal and burn my hand until you finally allow me to put it down. 
 And NO! I won&#180;t cry or go mad about what happened to my ship. If you&#180;re gonna make me a sobbing, mad girl I&#180;ll go on strike. I won&#180;t go mad, I&#180;ll be able to go on, okay? Is that so much to ask for? 
 You&#180;re so mad, Betty, you should let some kind of bomb explode the whole universe we&#180;re living in. Otherwise I think all of us are going to become crazy. 
 And, by the way, I won&#180;t do my hair in green. I like that violett. Stop complaining.

Dear K, 

BAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh my goodness you have no idea how much fun it is to mess with you! you see, we have all formed an "Anti-K" group and we have no intention of listening to a word of what you have planned. I didn't even read the outline you gave me, I just tore it to bits. Sure maybe we'll let you have the goat cheese and the mini giant space hamster... and even the vampasquitoes, but actually follow you plot? You must me kidding, maybe even drugged. I have a whole different plan of what's going to go on. No, I'm not going to tell you what that is.

P. S. no, I'm not going to tell you which of the main characters dies either. Fufufu...</description>

      <description>Dear Cypher,

Remember when you were talking about us to your fiction writing classmate and she said, "You made Christmas scary?!  You're mean!"  Don't you think that should have clued you in?  Seriously, if you're scaring college students with just vague descriptions of what you're actually writing, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO US?  Isn't it bad enough that we've had hard lives?  Then you sic the big, bad, evil on us and wonder why we're going through bouts of depression and considering suicide.  What did you think would happen?  Do us a favor and stick with Halloween.  We want our Christmas back the way it was.

May God have mercy on your soul (you psycho). And may we somehow find it in our hearts to forgive you (though that's not very likely).

Sincerely (regretting being your characters),
Nick and Angela</description>

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Exploits,

Is there a reason I never use contractions?  Why does my brother get to use them, in is dialogue and in his narrative.  There is no fairness to the way you write at all, and, frankly, I am tired of talking like this.  I can be casual! I can, really!

Also, is there a reason why you hate me?  You have separated me from my family.  You have made me the only daughter in a loveless marriage and family.  I have never known my twin brother, my mother is afraid of me, and I am starting to think I have developed- what do you call them- ah yes, 'daddy issues.'  You have made me go against my morals more than once- witchcraft?  Is that really what you think of me?  Losing my virginity to the first man who gives me the time of day?  I really hope you do not think that is in character.  When December comes you will have to do a major revision.  

Also, if I want to shag my brother, you are going to let me.  He is the only one who is nice to me around here, so please, let us be.

Regards

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Meg,
Are you kidding me? First, I kiss Fiona, the hottest freaking girl in the whole kingdom, then it turns out that she was using me, plus she was an enchantress using her power for evil, so I'm not supposed to like her anymore? What if I do still like her (and her body)? Huh? Have you ever thought about what my freaking feelings might be? And then Piper Knight....damn it, you just had to give me her as a partner, didn't you? She is practically the most insufferable person on the entire planet, and we just kissed, not becuase we wanted to, becuase we were forced to, and I actually enjoyed it! Why do I enjoy the kiss of the girl I hate instead of the girl who would let me fondle her all day? Why am I suddenly feeling like this about Piper? Are you trying to make me go insane with filling up thoughts into my head? God, just please make sure that I don't die at the end of this idiotic journey you've put me through, I will come back to life just to make sure you die a painful death.

Another thing: who the hell is Daniel Year Clerk? It would be so much eaiser just telling me and Knight who he is instead of us wandering around the whole of Amberleaf like clueless fools, wouldn't it? Just take that into account next time you bring him up, because if we find out who he is we might actually be able to crush the Shadow Stalkers.

Regards,
Tobias Graham Sloane 

P.S. Why is Knight so good at archery anyway? Why can't I have a special skill, like, I dunno, picking up hot chicks? Wait, I'm already able to do that....


Miss Meg,
I'm not trying to be a bother, I just have a few questions and statements that I think should be brought to your attention.

Why did you have to give me four older brothers? No offense, but I really can't stand them have the time when they try to protect me even though I perfectly capable of taking care of myself. And my father....don't even get me started on my father. You just had to let him send me off to a safe house didn't you? And I bet you loved writing about how uncomfortable I was when I found out that my safe house was going to be Tobias Sloane's house. And then, you have the nerve make him safv me like I'm so damsel in distress - which I wasn't, thank you very much. Also, why is it taking us so long to actually stop the Shadow Stalkers? And couldn't you have given Sloane a brain that is filled with things other than sarcasm, arrogance, dirty thoughts, and just random filth? It would have been much more helpful. And make him seem much less attractive....damn it, did I really just say that? Look what you're doing to me! Though I don't want to admit this, I feel like I'm falling for him, and, in case you've forgotten, you've given me someone to be in a relationship with. Remember? Riley Clarke, the prince of the kingdom of Amberleaf? 

And, as a concluding question, what is the reason this Daniel Year Clerk person is so interested in me? It scares me, actually, bt don't tell Sloane. I'l never hear the end of it.

Sincerely yours,
Piper Elizabeth Knight

P.S. Is there anway you could possibly stop Sloane from calling me 'princess'? It's rather annoying, and I am so close to ripping every strand of that dirty blonde hair off his head and watch him write in pain. Just saying. </description>

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Betty
this is an open letter to everybody. We are not satisfied with the way you&#180;re writing.
 You can&#180;t always complain about us doing never what you want us to do and then have a bored look at HIM&#180;s facebook-page and freak completely out. And why? Because Ville Valo was elected the Hottest Dude Of whatsoever. Yeah.  Congratulations.
 You should have turned back to us then. But no, you&#180;re throwing in a HIM-CD although you KNOW you can&#180;t write with your favourite band playing along. So you sit there singing like a drunk while we&#180;re waiting for our story to develop. 
 You really can&#180;t do this to us! Keep your passion for finnish music away from us and push it beside when you&#180;re working with us! 
 And why did we start this letter the way this damn open letter to Tarja ends? Hm? Oh yes, Betty, that&#180;s all your fault. You shouldn&#180;t listen to HIM while writing. You know it wouldn&#180;t work. 
 Tomorrow you&#180;ll be here again, lady, and your CD-player will be turned off. We don&#180;t want to hear anything about HIM while our document is open. If you keep on rather listening to HIM than working with us, we&#180;re gonna fuck and kill each other and end your story at 40k, and then you&#180;re screwed! 
 Yours, your characters from "New World"

      <description>Dear Betty
 we HAD fun, hadn&#180;t we? Yeah, I loved my role. I mean, okay, I was a maniac, but at this sadistic scenes I started to like it. 
 I know I had to die. I was your villain. But it was FUN!!! 
 But did you really have to make me kill my mother? Lia and I must be the only characters you really liked, in a way...
 Yours, Jef

Dear Betty
 That was such a great time. I like the last words you gave me, and I hope you&#180;ll rescue Chillon. He doesn&#180;t deserve to be down there with his mad mother. I&#180;m not mad at him for ripping off my leg. He&#180;s used to starvation, of course he will eat anything he gets his hands on. Rescue him, will you? (No, probably not.) 
 And please don&#180;t let Pan die. I know it&#180;s great for your story, but I really liked Pan...
 by the way, it was such fun the last scene. "The heart&#180;s on the left side, sonny." I really enjoyed saying that. 
 Yours, Lia

BETTY! 
 That&#180;s not okay! You ALWAYS told me I&#180;d survive and be happy with Romin! And now you bitch made Jef nearly kill me? ARE YOU MAD??? I hate you! I know you&#180;ll let me die, I know you will! 
 Go kill someone else!
 Pan (ANGRY)

Betty,
 you&#180;re such a cunt. You made me fall for Pan. You made me nearly an alcoholic. You gave me depression. You gave me this robot and my f*cking shuttle to annoy me. You made me suffer and suffer and suffer. IT&#180;S ENOUGH NOW! 
 I hate you forever for killing Pan. And don&#180;t say "ah, come on, she&#180;s not dead yet". She&#180;ll die. She&#180;ll die in hospital and I can&#180;t even hold her in my arms! 
 Make her survive, Betty. Please! There&#180;s no sense in my life without her! What should I do if she dies?
 Ah, yeah, I forgot. I&#180;m to bring her corpse to her mother and then commit suicide. Great fate. At least I was your MMC!  You had Jef as a Villain and Lia as a victim, so why do Pan and I have to become victims, to? Why do I have to be such a tragic hero? 
 I DON&#180;T WANT TO BE TRAGIC!!! I want to be happy. With Pan. 
 You&#180;re such a beast, Betty. I hate you. Don&#180;t let me die painful.

      <description>Dear Author,
I know you kinda want me to grow up already, but really I like being a teenager. It suits me better and I get to feel the first love when it's just very new and all. Just one little request, could you make Katariina's divorce happen a little sooner? I really would like to be with her and just her. And why do you have to make Kevin so nice? I would be a lot easier to hate him for being married to the woman I love if he wasn't so goddamn nice. We'll I guess I'll manage, since I know they are gonna get divorce when I turn 18 (and move to her house &amp;lt;3). (I know glimpses about my life after that and it seems really scary. Please don't kill me, thanks!)
Yours truly,
Hanna Harmaaranta

Dear Author,
why do you make me fall in love? It's so not me. And suddenly I have have all these feelings and I feel lost? WTF are you doing to me? Well, I guess I'll manage if you keep Hanna at bay. She could be a little more submissive still, I think she's not as devouted to me as I'd like to. 
Katariina Rosendahl
 
P.S. Thanks for letting me kill people! That's awesome, I've always wanted to do that. I just hate that I have to wait for that until I'm 35.</description>

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Mika,

    Um wow, there's a lot of author-hate going on in here. But on behalf of myself and everyone else (at least the ones I talked to and yes that includes Violet) we'd like to thank you once again for choosing us this blessed November. You know, it wasn't easy beating out the competition in the back of your mind for this opportunity. Yes, unbeknownst to you we had been brutally warring it out with the other stories for this prize since September, you were too busy with school to notice. It was intense, yes, but we had a few tricks up our sleeves. We knew it would take an extra something special for you finally let us out. That's why after sitting around for three years waiting for you to find time to finish our plot, we decided to take the initiative and write the rest of the framework for you, literally the week before Nano. Goodbye writers block. This is how much we love you (and how desperate we were!). 
    We are honoured that you chose us as your "debut" novel after our long rocky friendship. Of course like everyone above, we could complain about your procrastination and some plot peeves, but we all decided encouragement is the best policy. Really we appreciate this so much! I know this is a huge step for you and you are doing so well keeping your head above the water. We're glad to be your creation. No one else could do what you're doing for us. And we're lucky that you're the type who commits to her projects. So, all we have to do is encourage and cooperate with you and make this process as painless as possible. We are simply happy with each and every word you write each day.

Love,
Brian and The Others

(P.S. The rest of you could be a little encouraging and less berating to your authors. Really, I am apalled at your behavior. They are trying their best. Complaining and bitching won't make them want to write your story any more. Just some advice. Cheers :))</description>

I can't believe you did this. What exactly is the point in finding a job for us where the work uniform is topless? Jeez...

Dear Landry and Alice,

I honestly didn't know that would happen. I'm sorry, I'm completely at a loss right now =( I have no idea what your work is going to be. I'm hoping it won't be anything... weird.

Sincerely,

      <description>Dear Crazy Author Lady,

Thank you so very much for listening to us, when we begged you to change the ending at the last minute. Everybody (except you) knew that we were meant to be together, &amp;amp; that it was only a matter of time before you saw the light. Thanks for cluing in!

Much love always,
Val and Tavia

Dear Crazy Author Lady,

Never thought I'd say this, but thanks for making me get a clue. Now that I think about it, I suppose that using dark magic to steal Val away from Tavia- not to mention losing my soul in the process- was actually a really crappy game-plan... Whose idea was that, anyway?

Peace out,
Scar.

-

Dear Crazy Author Lady,

First, you let the Dark Lord break into my mind. I figured it was a one-off, so I played along with it... but that was BEFORE you made him steal my soul... Again, I took the hit, but THEN, you made me pop out his demon seed- have you gone completely and utterly mad? Pretending to be the Mistress of Death is one thing; giving birth to his evil spawn, is something else entirely... This is beyond forgiveness, dear author, and here is where I draw the line.

I've accepted my fate, and I am quite happy to raise the child as my own. So, why don't you sod off and go learn some REAL magic, before I am forced to dispose of you.

Hanging in the balance,

Shadowsong.
(your rootless and first-name-less FMC)

-

Dear Crazy Author Lady,

We love you! Thanks so much for giving us our happy ending- we knew that we wouldn't have to work hard for it, but we've thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Oh, and thank you for uniting our families- Romeo and Juliet would be jealous!

Much love always,
Sestiva and Patrick.</description>

      <description>Senom,

I'm going to give you three choices. You listening? Good. Here they are.

One: You write these last two scenes of Prelude so we can call it a volume and get started on whatever you're doing for the series anniversary next month. The semi-easy option.

Two: You just quit now and leave us alone forever and ever. The easiest option.

Three: If you don't have the story finished tonight and you're still trying tomorrow, I'm coming out there. I'm warning you. I don't know if your forehead can take any more shots, but we're about to find out.

Think about this.

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Keyboard Chick,

What the hell have you done with my balls? Can I man the fuck up, please? I'm acting all sappy and shit and my reaction when Joy hits me is to &lt;em&gt;run away&lt;/em&gt;? I will hit her the fuck back!

Okay, except I won't, because I'm...feeling something. (Author: You're stupid in love with each other.) Shut up. And because I want to make sure she feels bad about doing it first and knows she shouldn't. Seriously, no matter how I...feel (Author: Love.) SHUT UP! No matter how I &lt;em&gt;feel&lt;/em&gt;, Joy's essentially an overgrown, angry toddler, and I can't put up with that forever.

Also, where did my awesomeness go? I am amazing, and I know it, and I spend the whole fucking book questioning everything. There are hardly any descriptions of how good I look in whatever I'm wearing! Shame on you.

~Alexander Ursus di Leo.


Dear you,

Fuck you. Stop using me as a mouthpiece. Although, yes, I would totally be fine with a guy hitting me if I hit him, but you didn't have to be so fucking clumsy about it.

No love,
J


Dear Carley,

Oh god, if these two do not get a happy ending, I will shoot you in the head. They are driving me crazy. That's all!

&amp;lt;3,
Darcy!


Dear Miss Author Lady,

Hey, don't worry about it! I'll get a bigger role in this next book. I know, I know, you wanted me to have a bigger part. It's okay. I don't mind. I promise. But hey, I'm a midwife and Joy's having a baby in the sequel, so you have plenty of time for me then! It's all good! :D

Love,
Gary Wilmott


Dear Carley,

Yeah, Gary may be all happy-go-lucky about it, but I got like two scenes. I was supposed to be a lot bigger. What the hell? Expand on me, now.

Gee, thanks for giving me an impossible situation. I have to now tell a teen that his dad died, have to jump universes, and all the while I CAN'T EVEN WALK....And did I mention the bit where you threw in the weirdo who keeps messaging me? You told me when I signed up for this crazy deal that it would probably be a romance or a teenage adventure or something. Um. Yeah. I appreciate the funny bits and Ben and Keeva are great to have around, but....NOT. FREAKING. COOL.

Dear Author: 

Wow. If you let me in, you must be DESPERATE. I mean, lay off the scifi channel....or something. I'm like...Data. Except, I'm mimicking a dead girl. I'm in love with a guy who killed himself in another universe. And while I think I have a damn good grasp of what's going on, you must be joking when you think it will be an easy-peasy solution. We need Madame Taylor, who's dead, and we need Sir Norwood, who's also dead, and we probably can do without you. Keith and I might be able to handle this, actually, if we rope in...you know...the rest of the company, NASA, RKA, JAXA, ESA and pretty much any other space agency you can get hold of...according to events that are happening in YOUR universe, we probably SHOULD rope in the Aussies. Can you let the professionals take over, though?

This is the third night since December started that you haven't written a damned thing. You promised you were going to buckle down tonight and instead you've left us hanging. Again.

Ok, fine Benji still hasn't let you know how he plans to light the night up. You still have no idea how Cole is going to unravel the mystery and save people or how Regan is going to help him. And yeah, you're pissed at Sean cause he's being a jerkface... these are just excuses! And if you put fingers to keyboard you'd find all the answers you're looking for!

You're off the hook for tonight but you better pound out thousands of words to make up for it starting tomorrow night and ALL weekend. Lock your kids and hubs in the closet or something, would ya?? 

Jees.

      <description>Dear DWWB,

First and foremost, why in gods name do you keep procrastinating!?!... I think I speak for the rest of us in your imagination when I say, make up your #$@*&amp;amp;^ mind woman! Write something! I don't even care if it isn't even my story, it's just getting REALLY tight in here and hopefully if you finish something it won't be so uncomfortable for us characters in your head....

Now, once I got that out of the way, more about me. Why won't you figure out what happens to me? I know the main idea is to set me up with a girl named Reagan who is a little less then half my age, but I heard you throw around "September 11th," "Amnesia," and "Domestic Abuse," and "Kidnapping." Please decide! Your driving me absolutely mad! 

Love, 
Dr. Derek Holt

PS: Did you HAVE to visualize me as the actor Patrick Wilson? I can just feel you mental stripping me right now, and it's kind of inappropriate... I blame it on that show you watch every Friday...Stupid CBS.</description>

      <description>Dear Av,

Really? Realy? You threw me into this crazy situation, never actually bothered to get to know me, FORGOT about me on several occasions and had to write me into a scene, and then you just... kill me? Just like that? It was not even a fatal wound! Just a little bite out of my shoulder... and SINCE WHEN were the fangs of those creatures poisionous?

On a quieter note, did you stop to think about how crushed my parents would be? How I never got to say goodbye? I saw that you included live coverage of my funeral. Did you even glance twice at how hurt my family was? Did you ever think that maybe I had something more to say to them? Like 'I love you'? I would have hugged my baby sister goodbye had you given me any fair warning. 

Thanks, at least, for writing about how I saved big, tough Reni. It was good for her to be shown that she can rely on others a bit. She had been stuck on that planet too long. 

Give my love to the others and to my family please. I will enjoy watching my baby sister grow up, from Heaven. Odd, I never realized how cute she was when I was with her... 

Yours,
Landon. </description>

Can you please figure out why I am horribly disfigured and yet still peppy and cheery? Oh, and at least give me something decent besides being a pain in the side. I want something to do. I'm bored out of my mind. A lot. Maybe just a game or something to play during long desert rides. Please? Oh and make him stop being so moody and pouty. Thanks!

Dear Author,

Seriously? You are a sadistic, horrible person. Isn't it bad enough that I was orphaned and have a low enough self esteem? Then you have to go kill my brother and everybody who ever meant anything to me, and get stabbed in the back. Thanks. Thanks a lot. I hope your heart weighs more than that stupid feather and your soul gets devoured. I want my brother back! And I'm really sick of the stinking PTSD you decided to give me. I just love the wonderful reminders of watching my loved ones being murdered, oh and then nearly getting raped and beaten to death. Please go die in a hole, or I will kill you myself. Slowly. And painfully. You know I will.

Why? Seriously? Why? More loose ends? Do you WANT to finish this story? And are you TRYING to kill me? Because I think you are. I know that was supposed to happen but really? REALLY??? Must you make my life difficult? Amnesia? Really? We're never going to get anywhere if you make me FORGET everything!!! And especially if you sit there and research amnesia and fribullation or whatever it's called for hours! Can't you just leave me be? I liked where the plot was going! Why'd you change it at the last minute? 
Don't make me go on strike.
Threateningly,
-Cinni

Dear author,
Thank you for my wonderful new friend, even if she does freak me out a bit. I appreciate you trying to rehabilitate me after you attacked me with wolves and then practically killed me. But I would really appreciate it (even more) if you wouldn't wipe Cinni's memory. I really would. I really don't think there needs to be that twist. I really don't. Can't...can't it just go as it was supposed to? Please?
Hopeful,

Author,
Why did you make my backstory that suckish? Why? (Twins: Why not! Moora: BECAUSE IT SUCKED.) I really didn't need that. But at least you gave me a happy ending. Now, stop messing with Salem.

      <description>Dear Author,
I am the first person you thought of in this universe.
I thank you for that, but I need to ask you a question.
Why are you only NOW ... a year later giving me screen time.
Heck ... up til now I wasn't even mentioned.
Whatever ...
Sincerely,

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Red Queen,

in response to your (laughable) complaint we are getting it on too soon (Tyra: Getting it on? Seriously? You couldn't have said it a bit more gently, like, "grow close" or something?, Petri: Honey, come on, everyone knows what's going on, probably even the dude who serves beer at the inn, so let me just name it, alright?).
You see, we like each other. Ever heard of "love at first sight"? (Tyra: Really now?, Petri: What now, woman? First too straight-forward, now too cheesy, decide on something already!) Anyway, even you know we are made for each other. You did say we're gonna get married, didn't you? So why on earth do we have to wait two more months until we are even allowed to make out? We are both grown-ups, so stop making things awkward for all of us and make it official already!
Please. This is ridiculous.

Impatiently,
Tyra &amp;amp; Petri (very much in love with each other)</description>

      <description>Dear Katie,
You could at least have warned me before throwing in Naeema (I like her though, don't think I don't) and making me one leg of a triad. I don't mind sharing but I'd have liked to know beforehand, y'know?
Love, Zulie
PS: Quit thinking about Portal 2 and work on our outline, please.
PPS: Neither of them will ever ask you this, but could you just let Maria and Daiya kiss already? The tension is killing them. 

Dear Katie,
Okay, so this Nisha chick is actually my girlfriend who got erased from reality. I can dig that. I mean, she's cute, she's kickass, she's got a great sense of humor--I would totally date her. That part makes sense. That part I like.
Me being an interspaciotemporal criminal? Not so much. Come on, woman! Why me? What have I done? Or rather, what &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; I do? At least tell me what exactly is so horrible that the knockoff MIB are willing to screw up every timeline everywhere just to erase me!
Some love, Shannon
PS: you haven't figured out what crime I commit, have you?</description>

That's just wrong. Especially me. I'm too interesting to kill off. Why don't you kill off Gary? At least I have a personality. (Me: He has MPD, okay??? Darren: SHUT UP, THIS IS MY COMPLAINT LETTER.)
If you kill me, I will come back and haunt your butt for the REST of your life. 
You can't touch this,

You need an antagonist. I get it. Why does it have to be me? I was perfectly happy living in the castle with my father. I don't care that my mother left me as a child. And no, I don't really want to start a war and reclaim old territory. By the way, I do want Viviane to be with me, not Aiden. And I swear, if you kill me off, there will be hell to pay.

      <description>Dear Author,

I understand that you had to give me and my sister a depressing, tragic backstory, but really? I'm a 24 year old angst-ridden teenager! What 24 year old hides himself in his room all day and refuses to eat? No self-respecting one, that's for sure! And if you call Leta my "dear/beloved sister" one more time without sarcasm, I might puke, which won't bode well because you have made me eat nothing in weeks but a bite here ad there of raw rabbit.

P.S: Must you really destroy everyone I love? First my mom, then my dad, and then you kill Brogan! By the hands of my own sister! Really? Really?!

      <description>Dear One With the Pen:

You've put off editing. Fair enough. But I know you. If you don't buck up, we'll be left in an unedited state for the rest of our lives! I want to know this story. You want to know this story. And neither of us want your friends to see shabby work. So play nice.
But you don't have to worry. I'm finally learning what you mean by all that cryptic stuff. So I promise that giving Asper the dagger he needed to kill Hugo was on purpose. You saw what happened! And I have more up my sleeve.

Olivia

P.S.
I won't talk to Raymond. So Hugo's a stepping stone, then: now you'll be able to write a real death instead of a scare? You're sick, but okay. Whatever comes of it, make sure Riz's isn't lame. She deserves better than that.



In Response to The One With the Pen:

A back story? You want to pity me? I'm a villain! You should love to hate me! But I suppose, since you've given me a daughter, you've cursed me with a soft side. I've never been one for words, but if you pay attention, I'll let you in on a little secret.

You have no idea what you're doing, do you? Look, the next time you write a book, for the sake of your characters try a little planning ahead of time.

I'm sorry I don't have any hobbies and all I do is organize my boss' files, but it's your fault. After all, this is your story. You could have made me more interesting if you wanted to, but I will try to work on that back story thing for you. It was a little strange to suddenly come to existance at the age of 23.
- Keena

Author,
I'm sorry my friends don't like me like they were supposed to. I ended up becoming a little distant and cold and not so much angsty as just flat. I should have tried to live up to the expectations set by my epic introduction. I DID invade the city because I ran out of cigarettes, so I could try to pull more stunts like that. And I'll work on a childhood.
Hollowpoint

Dear Author,
How about Vladmir? Will that work? And I'll try to write a story of how I was raised for this position and thrust into power. Also, I signed up for Evil 101 so hopefully that shall remedy some of my failure at being an evil dictator.
Sincerely,
Vladmir (?)

Dear Author,
Well, how about you have Martin and Keena meet up earlier, or extend the dinner scene? And James can help get Keena out of the actual ship? That will give us both some time to develop ourselves.
Yours truly,
James and Martin

Dear Author,
We WOULD if you would LET us! You should have planned this whole thing out better so everything didn't come off so flat and wooden. World build a little, maybe!

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Author,
I demand that you stop trying to control me. As if I, Penfold, would allow a carrier to work for me. It's absurd. No, it's worse. It's something I would never do. I don't care what sort of story you are writing, and I don't care who you think is the "good guy." I want to lead my people out of Grubindy, and nothing will stand in my way. Even you.
Sincerely,
Vincent Penfold, who would like a better name as well

My response: Gosh, I hate you Penfold. I have a story to tell, and you do nothing but get in the way. I wish you were going to die at the end of the book.

Dear Miss Author,
What's going on? I thought that I was supposed to have a job with Penfold, but apparently that isn't happening. He's locked me in some room now, and I don't know why. I'm scared. Is this part of the plan?
Love,
Sydney, who is confused by the constantly changing plot.

My response: It's supposed to happen. Penfold started messing with the other plotline, because he wouldn't give you any autonomy, so, yeah. For the moment, be scared. Be very scared.

Dear Author,
I'd like to ask you about something, if you don't mind ma'am. I think it's hard to have a personality if you take away the thing that defined me in the first draft. I couldn't do magic. That was important. Now you give me amazing sorcerer powers, and I don't know what to do with them. You aren't going to make me a better sorcerer, are you? Like I get to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world and Sydney turns into a werewolf when we break the barrier? 
Yours,
Mark Halgren, who needs a reason to get kidnapped

My response: Sorry about that, Mark. I didn't even think about why that wouldn't work. I think they want you because you were on the team of sorcerers, not because you're super-powerful. Just because you actually know the spell they crafted. It's a bit weird, and it's not just straightforward telling the box what to do, because the moon doesn't work that way. 

Author:
Sorry for the short notice, but I was wondering if I'm allowed to wear mascara. I know I'm an old lady, but I never like going with the cultural trends, and I want to act a bit younger than my age. Oh, and could you find another way to describe me other than my eyes? I'm getting a bit tired of just grinning and widening my eyes. I do more that that, you know. :) Just another thought: what's up with Vinny? I want to tell Sydney and Mark--when I meet him-- about that, but how much am I allowed to say? Just wondering.
-Ursula, who wants to see the outside world again.

My response: Go ahead and wear mascara. I don't care. You're only allowed to mention Vinny Penfold's first name to Sydney and Mark. You can call him Vinny and that's it. It's supposed to be a surprise at the end.

Sorry for the long post. I'm just right in the middle of trying to figure out my second draft, and all these plot holes and character problems are popping up everywhere.

Please give my city a name at least. I am basically its leader, since the humans don't exactly have the numbers to defeat me, and even I have a name. I need names for places within the city too, don't forget! So stop finding songs for me for different parts of this story and do what I have asked! I realise you need songs to write but the events they are for don't happen for a good while.

      <description>Bee,

Actually, things are looking very nice over here. I'm not crazy about the musical idea and the fact that you're making me sing to my plants makes me come off a like a schizophrenic, but I'll with it, I guess. Maybe you should actually write something instead of sitting around and brainstorming. You've got the idea. Go with!

Uncharacteristically optimistic,
Sacha Durand

Hey Bee,

Can I have a story? Pretty please? I'm really good in the RP forums, but I'd like a story. And a world. And a plot. It'll be awesome! I promise! 

Caspar

P.S. I want a last name, too!</description>

      <description>Dear Author,
Well, I don't know of this Haruhi chick, so I have no idea.
If you are talking about the unpredictable part, I can't help it, I love life and life should be lived.
From what I hear Haruhi is obsessed with the paranormal.
I'm not ....
I just love life, that's it....

      <description>Dear Az, 

Look, I know ALL ABOUT being OCD. You're the one who cursed me with it, remember? But it would be really, really cool if you could stop world-building and finish the first novel. So, you know... we can write the second one for this pretty competition here? Two chapters in a whole year is kind of sad, even if you did have to re-write every Greek and Roman legend. 

~Lorelei 'Lori' Thene

Dear Az, 

I'm flattered that you spend so much time writing about Nate and I falling for each other, but... Don't you think you should write things that people will actually read? And not things you're keep shoved in the bottom of your closet for the rest of eternity?

~Domitius 'Dom'/'Miti' Artemin


Dear Az, 

You gave me the best boyfriend ever... Even though he's not really my boyfriend. But you also made me suicidal... only not really. I"m really confused about whether you like me or not. I mean, you saddled me with Roxxy... but she's got to do everything I say. 

What do you WANT from me?

~Nathaniel 'Nate' Pluto



Az,

What do you mean I had sex with Roxxy?

~William 'Will' Le Herme



Bitch Who Ruins My Life,

FOR THE LAST TIME. I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH NATE. I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH WILL. I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH NATE. I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH THE KEEPER. WHY AM I SOME SORT OF DEPRAVED PANSEXUAL TO YOU? I kill things. THE END.

And as for Nessa? Seriously, nothing will EVER happen between us. She's a bitch.

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Miss Fail--I mean Author,

I don't even care about being polite at this point. What the heck are you doing to this world? First you kill my best friend, then you turn me into a werewolf, but even that's not the worst of it. I'm living in a world where nothing is explained, nothing makes sense, the sensory details make my head hurt (see, I was justified in thinking that it didn't mean I was turning into  a werewolf. It was &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; fault that it started with a headache!), and I don't even get where I am! I don't know what's happening, I don't understand this pack, I don't understand this world! Do I have the stupid box or not?! Stop changing everything on me. It's bad enough what's already happened to me that you meant to happen without you making it worse for me!

And I don't know about you, but I just want Ramon to leave me alone. Can you at least do that for me? Or can you give me a way  to get him to leave? I mean, even for his sake, just let him leave me alone!

Sincerely Yours,

      <description>Dear Creator,
  Thanks for abandoning us last November.  We were actually going somewhere with this novel, until you skipped a writing day, and then you just left us alone.  Some of us want to actually stop the treason plot, and win the war, and prove that we aren't the arsonists who set the infirmary on fire.  So, you think you could maybe come back and get things moving again?

HEY!  You just changed my story, and my life, AGAIN!  Come on dude.  I was just fighting dragons when you switched me over to a demon ten times my size.  You've been jumping me around for years trying to find me a place to stay,  Kinda getting impatient here!
How about I lead you to the story myself?  I try to write what I want.  And.....crap the demons back.  Dont think this over!  We are so not done discussing this!!!!

Without you, I would never be here. At all. Neither would Lopus, same with the others in the cast.

You killed my mommy and daddy and destroyed my house and killed a lot of people and grandma says you're mean and I hate you.

P.S., I don't like it here in grandpa's town. It's not my house.

Dear Author,

Why, why, why, why, WHY?! Why did you pair up Miranda and I?! She's a crazy lady!
And why do I have to be the woobie? Why?! Are you sick in the head? I don't want to be stuck in a bed for a week suffering from god-knows-what! And why did you make me drink vodka?! I'M ONLY SEVENTEEN! DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY LIVER WILL BE IN A FEW YEARS?! AND SPEAKING OF ALL OF THIS, I -

*the rest of this letter was censored by the recipient and deleted before being posted because we value your sanity*

Sincerely,
Theodore "Theo" Malcolm Higgins II

Dear Author,

Theo is a sweetheart, even if he IS a grumpy Gus. Thank you for sending me on something EXCITING, and more importantly, WITHOUT THAT CRAZY SNIPER VANDIVOND! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Theo is so cute when he's embarrassed. But he's no fun when he's bedridden. Why is he always in trouble with something? Are you up to something?

Sincerely,
Miranda Halloway

P.S., Rolf says than you for forwarding him the letter from his sister. But he could have told you that. Bye!

Dear Author,

Thanks for giving me the letter from my sis. And the cake.
It's my birthday next week. Can I have a special part of the chapter to myself?

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Dear Fantasy,
You. Killed. Me. Why? I was the good one for evil's sake! Sure, I come back, but you still thought it was okay for you to kill me. And, I know I'm the level headed one (compared to the others, which isn't saying much) but I'm still pissed. You're only making me the main character in the next book to buy me off so I won't hate you. 
-Sincerely, Cain. P.S. If you try and bash my skull in again you'll find me slamming your head into a force field. See how you like it.

Dear Fantasy,
Just because I'm the daredevil flirtatious sort-of asshole sometimes does not mean it is okay to pull this shit! My mom was murdered, I was KIDNAPPED and raised by my mother's &lt;em&gt;killer&lt;/em&gt;, then my adopted father is almost murdered -I don't even know where my real father is- you try and kill off my girlfriend (Cain said she'd be writing you, so I'd watch out. She's pissed.) and then you make me have to kill my adopted mother? What the hell!? What'd I ever do to you? And by the way, I would &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; have lost to that perverted asshole.
-Logan. P.S. I get kidnapped? &lt;em&gt;Again&lt;/em&gt;!?

Dear Fantasy,
I'm pretty good, actually. I'm kick butt, Logan's threatened by me, I take down the second villain (admittedly after Logan roughed him up a bit), and I get to take on a mob. So, yeah, thanks.
-Marco. P.S. Though I'm still not happy about the whole 'run away from arranged marriage' thing. Kinda cliche.

Dear Fantasy,
Why? My life was fine, and then you send &lt;em&gt;her&lt;/em&gt;. She's weak, she's annoying, she's useless, and she's here for the &lt;em&gt;whole&lt;/em&gt; series!? How will I ever deal with her without killing her? Necko's ruining everything. I was happy just being with Ander and Soyya, but now Soyya's acting like a love sick puppy, and thank you &lt;em&gt;by the way&lt;/em&gt; for having me be in love with my mentor, who I could never be with, because that's just the icing on the cake. Ander could have been my age, or I could have been his age, but &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt;. It's like you don't even want me to be with him!
-Yours, Nera. P.S. She doesn't even know how to fight!

Dear Fantasy,
I'm the cute little brainy pipsqueak boyish character. I know that, and I've accepted it. But, the first girl I fall for is a lesbian? Come on, that's a little harsh! Can't I get something for once? 
-Soyya P.S. *reading further in the notes* She falls for &lt;em&gt;her&lt;/em&gt;!?

Dear Fantasy,
Get me out of here! Narenica is crazy, Soyya likes me, and I'm surrounded by demons! I don't like it here! They're all evil, and violent, and they are going to &lt;em&gt;kill&lt;/em&gt; me! I just want to go back to LaCitus, that's all. I miss my parents, and my friends, and I do not want to be here. My first day here I'm beaten to a pulp and kidnapped by a &lt;em&gt;demon princess&lt;/em&gt;! Do you find this funny or something? I mean, it's not enough I'm practically a rag-doll and can't even stand up for myself, but then you send me to one of the most violent and depraved places in the universe!?
-Best wishes, Necko. 

Dear Fantasy,
You've been putting the others through a lot. What with Nera being in love with me, Soyya being in love with Necko, Necko being stuck here in hell, and all of that stuff. So, I consider myself lucky for the most part. But stop picking and Soyya, he's a good kid.
-Ander. P.S. Do I even do anything in this book? You haven't even told me what I'm supposed to do.

Dear Fantasy,
I, as the main villain, deserve to be heard. You kill me? I &lt;em&gt;die&lt;/em&gt;!? What kind of bullshit is that! And my own son betrays me, falls for a common girl, then kills me? Just because I bashed her skull into a magic wall? It was only a little! I am getting outta here some day and I'll have your head!
-Sincerely, Jestelle. P.S. He &lt;em&gt;marries&lt;/em&gt; her!?

Dear Fantasy,
I'm the second big bad in the first book and I suck!? I can't even hold my own against a teenager!
-Astithe

Dear Fantasy,
Pathological? Really? I mean, &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt;!? You'd sink that low? I am so not pleased! 
-Path P.S. Even Myth gets a better name than me! And Theo is down right &lt;em&gt;lucky&lt;/em&gt;! Logical is not a decent ending for a name! 

Dear Fantasy,
It's so funny watching Path freak out.
-Mythological/Theological/and siblings

Dear Fantasy,
Thank you! I'm a prince, I'm hot, everyone loves me, and Path is &lt;em&gt;hot&lt;/em&gt;! And he's got that whole sexy repressed thing going on. Yeah, my life kinda gets sucky, what with turning human and all that, but I prefer to look on the bright side.
-Ari 

Dear Fantasy,
Stop writing these and figure out your damn CampNaNo! There's only two months!
-Path, Ari, Nili, and co.</description>

      <title>Re: Dear Author</title>
      <description>Kaite,
I know things never looked good from the start last year.  The plot was absurd, and the number of words that actually told of our adventure was even more so.  But, I do think it was very cruel of you to abandon us like that.  I appriciate it that you did some writing with us today, but it doesn't feel enough.
Levii's pretty disappointed, all things considered.  And Archibald...  you never even introduced him!  He just sits here, crying as badly as I would if I was chopping him up - not to be compared to a murderer, but he IS an onion, after all.
I just think that, with more time, we could have gotten somewhere.
Sincerely,
Dust (on behalf of Levii, Archibald, and the rest of your insanely unique characters)

Kaite,
Yeah, I know you're just trying to write a story.  And, I also know that you woud never want this stuff to happen to people you actually know - after all, we're just replicat of those you love on paper.
But does that mean that you don't care about us at all?
You know, that was totally out of my character.  But, it kind of speaks the truth.  You ARE, after all, ruining our life.  You make me split up with my wife - huge blow, especially since we've never fought before.  (And don't say it hurt you as much as it hurt us - YOU'RE not the one who's married.)  You make us get kidnapped, and shoved together in a little basement for an unknown period of time.  You feed us raw eggs at one point, and nothing else.  Yet, you have NO plan for our child as well.
And, to make matters worse, it seems like you've got Mandy contemplating suicide, our sadistic kidnapper jamming something in someone's bone, trying to assasinate at least one of us, and you intend to have one of us nearly die.  If I'm correct, most of this stuff happens to Mandy, and I'm forced to watch it unfold.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I WILL BECOME AFTER NaNoWriMo?  I will be an empty shell of myself - and, worst part is, I have no idea if I'll even be ALIVE.  Where's the coveted, freeing ending you promised, like every other author?  What happens to Mandy, mysef, and our son?
Please, I'm not trying to condemn you or anything, I just want a few answers and for you to know what it feels like being me.
-Calvin Park
P.S.  If you're going to torture me so, could you include something about Hebrew in this novel?  Just for my sanity?  And, oh - one last thing.  Braden McKnabb seems pretty excited about writing an NaNoNovel inside your Camp NaNo.  Just thought I'd share it with you.</description>

      <description>Nocturna, Dearest...

Don't give up now.  After almost three years the end of this thing is almost in sight.  You need to finish this book, you're so close!!!  Please keep going; don't leave me on the bridge with this lunatic forever.  Come on, you can do it.  I believe in you.  We ALL believe in you.  Well, except for Byron, maybe, but he doesn't believe in anyone other than himself because he's Mr Self-Obsessed or something.  But the rest of us are rooting for you.  Get us to the finish line and we'll all go out on a mad absinthe spree to celebrate.  Even Tom, although I'm not strictly sure ten year old Victorian urchins should be drinking absinthe.  We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.  And speaking of bridges, I'm kind of in a bind here.  Help me out.  I put up with the torture and the surprise of my mother turning up and the murder of Molly; the least you can do is finish the story and let us tie up our loose ends.  You can do it!!!!!

      <description>Dear Ashleigh,

Why'd you kill me, huh? I was your your favourite minor character. You hated Cristo, yet you only made him disappear. I bet he's still alive. And what about Javier? I know you suspected my feelings towards him, but now he's on his own. He's hurting. I hate you for killing me!!

Your favourite character,
Luc.

Dear Ashleigh,

Why did my daughter have to die? What did she ever do to you? She was just a little girl? She was innocent. That was so pointless. I miss my baby every day.

Babe, I know it's been hard with the whole bit sbout you being nocturnal and having to room with a night-sleeper for the next three months, but that doesn't mean you can abandon us. Get your act together before we revolt and decide to hang out in the Shadows Trilogy (Because you can edit during the day, but can't write. Yeah, that makes sense).

Ceb,
....so I'm evil now? And dead? I don't understand. I just don't.

      <description>Dear B****fire,

What is your problem? Did I have to die at 26? And from bisection?! Also, I don't appreciate you sending Jesse after me. My eyelids still hurt from being stitched open. Also, why do you like abusing poor Spencer so much? You've given the guy night terrors. And he's gone full-vegetarian, can't wear a regular necktie to work anymore...hell, he can't even look at BLONDES anymore without starting to cry. If his issues start to mess up his not-yet-born child, I will END you. Actually, y'know what? I may not even wait until then. I'll get aunt Beast on the phone. We'll find your house. The fourth wall will not protect you, woman! 

Much "Love", 
Travis

      <description>Dear Chloe,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!  Honestly?  I have never been so out-of-sorts in my life.  I have a routine.  I rather LIKE my routine.  Why are you turning my world upside down?  I told you at the beginning of this that I wasn't shopping for a relationship.  Nor was I window shopping for one.  I just wanted to finish my college career and move onto the next phase of my life.  You've turned this into a romance novel?   Seriously!?  This is just as unlike YOU as it is me.  

Also, I don't do well with crying, so I'd appreciate it if you stop trying to make this happen.  As you can see, it's not working in your favor, anyway.

And I don't want a stinkin' sequel!  You've put me through enough.  

Thanks,
Berlyn

PS - you couldn't have found a more stunning man to antagonize me with.   Thanks for the eye candy.  </description>

Dear Marie,
Let me get this straight. You are going to kill my (Secret) twin sister, put me through torture, have Daniel and Martin figure out my past, and THEN you're finally going to kill me in some heroic way.  Seriously? Why can't you kill me BEFORE the torture or something. The Snakes aren't exactly nice people... Especially not my brother. Oh and by the way, I HAVE NO LOVE INTERESTS PEOPLE WHO HELP MARIE!!!

I swear it's all Bainte! He's the evil mastermind! I would tell you what was going on, I really would, but he won't even tell me. He made me swear not to tell you. You know I can't break a promise, what kind of King would I be then. Sorry, I really want to tell you, but he made me swear. 

Dariin.

Ah my other characters are so much nicer. </description>

      <description>P.S.

I should note that I mean to shag my older brother.  My twin is not even in the country, and frankly, he looks too much like mom.


Good day.</description>

      <description>Dear Simon,

You were only grazed. Quit your *****in' and get back to your music and wife. I mean, at least you hooked up with Samantha, right?

      <description>Dear Angryman,

I realize that you have a bizarre sense of humor, but I would like to know why it is that I'm appearing in so many of your stories. More importantly, how is it that I went from a male stripper, to a male hooker, to a SWAT sniper? Kind of a random job change in the end, don't you think?

Inquisitively Yours,
Antoine</description>

      <description>Dear Antoine,

You've seen how poor the economy is recently. It's why you went from your first job to your second. How it is that you got hired as a SWAT sniper is beyond me. You must be a really good shot (that's what she said!).

Looking forward to your next career choice.

Your semi-friend and wholly author,

      <description>Dear Phoenix,
Sorry ... I really am.
I don't know I guess I got carried away with writing about your sister and your dad.
I just forgot about you okay.
But being a writer is like being a single parent of 35-40 children. People are going to be forgotten.
But I guess I could've at least have a character mention you, so I'm sorry about that.
On the bright side, I'm at least writing about you now.
Sincerely,
Creator of your Universe</description>
