Character meme

Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] bookshop, and this is really a great one:

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!

1. Lord Miles Naismith Vorkosigan (Lois McMaster Bujold)
2. Lady Ekaterin Vorkosigan (Lois McMaster Bujold)
3. Lord Ivan Vorpatril (Lois McMaster Bujold)
4. Anne Elliot (Jane Austen's Persuasion)
5. Sophy Stanton-Lacy from Georgette Heyer's The Grand Sophy
6. Janet from [livejournal.com profile] pameladean's Tam Lin
7. The Phouka from [livejournal.com profile] coffeeem's War for the Oaks
8. Uriah Heep from Dicken's David Copperfield
9. Elinor Dashwood (Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility)
10. Marianne Dashwood (Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility)
11. Elizabeth Bennet (Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice)
12. Samwise Gamgee
11. Frodo Baggins
12. Merry Brandybuck
13. Pippin Took
14. Gandalf the Grey
15. Lucy Pevensie from the Narnia books
16. Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables)
17. Bertie Wooster
18. [livejournal.com profile] lupercus (from [livejournal.com profile] nocturne_alley)
19. [livejournal.com profile] potions_master (from [livejournal.com profile] nocturne_alley)

Dear Miss Peg,
How lovely to be sitting down and finally writing you a letter! It is rather hard to get away with the kids running around, not to mention all the affairs of being Mayor of Hobbiton. But I just wanted to send you a short note to show that I have not forgotten our friendship.
Very wise of you to encourage your girls to take self-defense. Sauron's reign is long over, but I can't help feeling that evil will never be completely gone. The fighting skills will do them good in the end, at least that's what I've found!
I am impressed with your determination to raise a pair of wonderful girls and your endurance that gets you through the rough times. You have shown your quality; the very finest. I don't know much about the whole business of being a mother; you'd have to ask Rose for around-the-house tips, she knows a thing or two about keeping kids in line and maintaining a household.
As for your writing, it was rough for me to get started on finishing the Red Book, but I've found that writing about your own life is easier than coming up with a story out of thin air. I've never been good at telling tales, but I find writing to be a fine past time; I am keeping a small book of my own where I write the every day things that happen which I find memorable or enjoyable.
I have enjoyed your letters very much, and regret only that I did not reply to them sooner. I wish you all happiness and hope to hear from you soon! Rosie and the wee Gamgees send their love.
Sincerely,
Samwise G.
