Oh God of Toilet Paper, would you ever give one of your stalker girls a chance? Please? I love you?
Forever Following YOU,
Anna"
Haha I love your letter:..."
You are welcome!

Why do you insist on being with Ever? Until recently you've been the cause of her countless deaths and you've stolen her from her soul mate (Jude). So how can you say you love her?
And if you would pass this letter along, this next part is for Ever so please don't read it!
Dear Ever,
Your actions confuse me, you trust enemies when they've been proven untrustworthy and you distrust people whom have been nothing but your allies. I don't really have any questions for you, I just think you need to grow a backbone (and maybe learn some common sense). Please pardon my rudeness (although that doesn't make it better does it?).
Sincerely yours, Ms. M

I like your letters! They say pretty much what I was thinking.

Marry me?
Sincerely, Leyah"
Dear Leyah,
Although your letter caught me by surprise, I would be honoured to enter a union with such a brave young woman as yourself. However, I do believe the distance between us - for we live in two different worlds - might hinder any plans for matrimony.
However, I am touched by your offer and will gladly court you if you ever happen to visit Middle Earth on your travels.
Yours sincerely,
Frodo Baggins

Dear Frodo
I apologise for my rather abrupt letter. I was overcome with 'fangirly feels' (it's a thing that many girls in my world have) as I have been reading yours and Mr. Bilbo Baggins' books, 'There and Back Again' and 'The Lord of the Rings'. I fell in love with your bravery and the terrible burden you had to carry.
I am truly honoured by your acceptance of the matter and I will be organising a trip to Middle Earth in the very near future.
Sincerely,
Leyah

Adorable XD

*blinks stupidly* Booknut...you's the coolest cat on the block, y'know that?
It was well-deserved, my dear Booknut.

Why are you so HOT?!?!? I mean, how do you think us normal lookin people feel? Also, I totally ship Thalico :). Please stop almost dying, you really worry us sometimes. Why are you so adorably messed up, and why do we still know so little about you? Please don't die in House of Hades, and keep being awesome.
From, a totally awesome Fangirl :)
To A Totally Awesome Fangirl,
Ah, hi. Nico here.
This is my reply to your somewhatterrifying enthusiastic letter - although Percy swears he gets ones like it all the time, so I have nothing to worry about.
So here goes my attempt at answering your questions...
In response to your first question, I'm going to just assume that you're not talking about my temperature. Therefore, I think the answer lies somewhere in genetics, as well as in my own great fashion sense. (Annabeth has just yelled out that I'm apparently 'in denial', whatever that means.)
And as for you normal looking people, you do the best you can with what you have, I guess. There are some good-looking mortals. Maybe not as good-looking as us demigods, but hey - at least you guys have the benefit of not having an all-seeing godly parent.
And ah...thanks? Thalico. Umm...I'm actually scared to ask what that means, although Annabeth's snickering when I happened to mention it earlier signals to me that it's probably a girl thing. Percy looked pretty stumped, so that kinda proves my theory.
I promise to stop dying if things stop trying to kill me. It's kind of a teamwork situation.
I'm afraid I have no idea why I'm both adorable and messed up. I guess it's a part of my charm! And you'll have to blame Percy for my lack of stage time. He's all 'save the world from godly strife', and I'm kinda just on the sidelines playing with shadows and pissing off gods. You know, the usual.
Uh...actually most people in my dad's house are dead. It's sort of his thing. God of the Underworld. Underworld = death. But I'll try to get out alive. I mean, Dad's house is cool, but it is so lacking in mortal conveniences. Can you believe the Underworld doesn't have a McDonalds? I couldn't. I petitioned Dad once, but he turned it down.
Well, thanks for the letter and I hope I managed to answer all of your questions. Watch out for Furies, don't trust old ladies and appreciate your local McDonalds.

Omg that was so awesome! I love that letter! It is so adorbs :) You might now recive a whole bunch of letters from le moi. It was so well writen and awesome! So much better than mine. Thanks Booknut!
This thread has been quiet for a while now - if you guys would like some more character replies, be sure to post up your letters here!!

Riddick,
As the sixth Lord Marshal of the race of Necromongers and head of such a great Empire of death, I was curious as to whether all former Furyan thoughts had completely dissolved. Is the Necromonger religion your soul guide, or have you managed to retain that mortality within you and that love which made you such a humane spirit?
The Necromonger ethos; a life for a life is the harshest race of beings ever to dwell within the umniverse.
Yet since the death of the last Leader and your departure from New Mecca in the Helion System, I could not help but wonder what lay ahead in the unclear future. One has to wonder…after all you come from a race of warriors long thought extinct and a fugitive with bounty hunters on your trail, now leading a merciless religious cult from planet to planet.
Even the Quasi-Dead cannot predict the future, although as half-dead telepaths they will prey and feast on your mortal mind. All that pain, suffering and anger you carry with you must be such a burden - perhaps killing can help to southe the soul?
As Crematoria burns my mind wonders what will become of such a vast Empire, as even I, an air elemental, cannot always see clearly ahead. I question - is such power and dominance still sought within the one choice that every race you visit, aquired so easily with one answer made by many? Be converted (to the Necromonger way) or die?
Please let me know what has become of you Riddick, as I fear for your sanity and clarity of judgement now that your status has altered so greatly. I do hope that in the face of death you still linger in the shadows rather than looking directly into the light. For the time has come to consider the effect that endless destruction and warmongering has on so many civilizations.
I send this message to you, carried upon the wind.
Aereon.
(@Lucinda - I will have to read that book before answering your letter! I promise to get to it soon :))
Dear Upset Fangirl,
The Afterlife is conveniently equipped with a great WiFi connection, so your letter made it to me in record time.
Your questions about Cedric...where do I start?! Cedric and I found one another. Or, maybe, he found me! But it was love at first sight - an unexplainable draw towards one another that is more powerful than a cauldron full of Amortentia.
Snape and I had our time. Whilst he will always remain my friend, my heart let him go a long time ago. Although I forgave him for the cruel words he uttered to me, back in our days at Hogwarts, his actions had severed the ability for us to be anything more. I found love in James, and in the family we created with our beautiful son Harry.
But James and I were married, you see. And when we died, the first thing I recalled was our wedding vows. "'Till death do us part." Well...we were dead! So, you know - we could part. If we chose to.
Explaining to James Potter, whose ego knows no bounds, that I was 'breaking up with him', was not an easy feat. But Dumbledore's arrival was a gift in itself. He sat James down and (using a variety of Quidditch analogies) explained how letting me go might be the better course.
He also offered to teach James to knit.
Now to Cedric. Cedric Diggory is such a strapping man...boy...moy.
I mean, at first, I thought it was very Twilight-esque. I remember thinking, "Am I really attracted to him? Is he really attracted to me? Or is it just that my hair is the colour of blood?"
But Dumbledore helped me see the good in Cedric - who, it turns out, did not star in Twilight. "Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory."
That speech sounded familiar. But I let it slide. I mean, it's Dumbledore. He's never wrong. And he never lies, or keeps secrets. So what could go wrong?
Cedric is such a gentleman. He held a party at Dumbledore's secret swimming pool for me, and even sang me a song. For Lily, Whenever I May Find Her - a take on the Simon & Garfunkel classic. It was so romantic!
So I hope I have managed to adequately explain to you the details of my love life.
May happiness always find you!
~ Lily E. Diggory

Don't trouble yourself! I just enjoyed immersing myself in the world of Riddick and writing the letter - all good fun :)

@Isabelle - I'm glad people enjoy them! They're quite daunting to write, actually...you have to put yourself in the mind of a character and use their mannerisms, etc. I'm always worried I'll mess it up!

You won't mess up
You were amazing
