fish_are_evil, though it's popped up in several other folks' journals since…Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friends-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!

#17 (bet you thought I'd do #1)
Date: 2006-01-26 08:37 pm (UTC)Ah, no, young sis! You are too simple. Why, you might have said - Oh, a great many things! Mon dieu, why waste your opportunity? For example, thus: -
AGGRESSIVE: I, sis, if that laundry were mine, I'd have it burned - on the spot!
FRIENDLY: How do you breathe with such dirty laundry? You ought to have an oxygen mask made specially.
DESCRIPTIVE: 'Tis a hillock - a mount - a mount? Say rather, an Everest!
INQUISITIVE: What is that pile - A tarpaulin or a circus tent?
KINDLY: Ah, do you hate your little cat so much that you when he comes and purrs to you, you give him *this* to lie upon?
INSOLENT: Sis, when your laundry smells, the neighbors must suppose something died in your apartment.
CAUTIOUS: Take care - A stench like that might make you faint.
THOUGHTFUL: Somebody fetch my hand cart - Her delicate back might strain under the weight!
PENDANTIC: Does not Aristophanes mention a mythological monster called Stinkolaundriobadfumogrossoutalus?
ENTERPRISING: What a sign for some washerwoman!
LYRIC: Hark - The drapings of Aphrodite cast off to show her perfect form.
SIMPLE: Oh...did they already unveil the monument?
RESPECTFUL: Sis, I recognize in you a woman of style, a woman of fashion.
RUSTIC: Hey! What? Call that laundry? Na Na - I be no fool like what you think I be - That there's a pile of manure!
