letters from characters
Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friend-list's mission, should they choose to accept it, to write you an in-character "letter" from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!
I'm having a hard time coming up with five, actually. Here's mine to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sylvanawood -- I took Snape, of course.
Ms. Wood,
I suppose it was optimistic of me to expect that you might ask my opinion on what any putative group of my supporters should be called.
I should hex you either way, but unlike certain Gryffindors who shall remain nameless, yet heavily hinted at, I am not given to exacting petty revenge just because I think I can get away with it.
I must caution you, however, that continuing in this vein is surely leading towards a detention.
In deadly earnest,
Professor Snape
Dear Professor,
you see me a bit surprised that a man who works mostly in the Underground is giving the frivolous activity of finding a name for a group of your supporters the slightest attention. I know it is difficult to trust, but I can assure you that we have your best interest in mind, unlike certain, uh, masters you were forced to comply with in the past. We shall stand up and spread the praise of our Snape everywhere and defend him from the heathens who believe everything a certain vengeful, spiteful nameless person says.
Apart from that, I will suffer detention with you gladly. Often. Please?
Affectionately
Sylvana Wood
Ms. Wood,
With your mention of my "past masters" you have answered your own question about how and why I should be paying any attention at all. Suffice it to say that my schedule of activities is somewhat more open since the end of the recent unpleasantness; one must do something with oneself.
I assure you I am perfectly capable of defending myself from any such disparagements. You and your cohorts, of all people, should know that I have weathered much worse, and yet, here I am to tell the tale. Still, I must admit your fervor piques my interest, even if only as a study in the strange and inexplicable.
A certain vengeful person is refusing to see that there is a soft side to my tongue as well, but then, we must forgive her: she has certainly never done anything to merit its application to her.
Smirkingly,
Professor Snape
P.S. Eight P.M. Bring a friend.
(yeah, I know the last line rather breaks character, but I wanted to make the joke. I used the "no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas" icon on the comment too. ^_^)
Dear Sir,
a soft side to your tongue? I must say that I do look forward to that detention. Sadly, my friend can't come, so it will just be you and me. I am certain you will find something useful to do, for both of us, something that doesn't involve gutting horned toads or cleaning dirty cauldrons.
Droolingly,
Sylvana
Dear Ms. Wood,
I confess myself impressed that approximately ten percent of your recent missive was, as they say, "spot on". I leave it to your ingenuity to determine whichsix of those fifty-nine words ten percent I am specifically referring to. If you can successfully puzzle this out, it may quicken some things.
Mysteriously,
Professor S.
My dear Professor,
the unenlightened would undoubtedly think that the six words: "gutting horned toads, cleaning dirty cauldrons," are what you have in mind. I know better. You don't need many words, sir, the change in your address says it all.
Anticipatingly yours,
Sylvana
(and lo, indeed some things were quickened. but the rest is left as an exercise for the ... imaginative.)
Sooo... hmm.
1. Zaphod Beeblebrox.
2. Holly, the computer from Red Dwarf.
3. Dr. Clayton Forrester. (MST3K, that is. I likely wouldn't understand War of the Worlds context.)
4. Ted "Theodore" Logan.
5. Bah, I give in. Severus Snape. Dammit, I want one too. (Marauders-era, pwitty pweese? *bats eyelashes*)
